The Queen's Rumored Father

A pebble hit a clod of yellow earth, and the pebble broke.

The clod of loess was thrown a long way, and then it broke.

So... what the hell is Xu Yuan's back made of?

The two looked at each other, neither knowing what to say.

In the afternoon, the test results came out.

Lei Jiayin has some abrasions.

Xu Yuan has no problems.

The fact that nothing happened was the crew's greatest fortune. However, there was one thing Cao Dun couldn't understand: if both of them were alright, why didn't they return?

Moreover, it is said that he even spent a night in the county town.

……

And so, following the accident during the explosion scene, Lei Jiayin and Xu Yuan's relationship took a significant turn for the better. Lately, Meng Xiaoxuan has been getting angry whenever she sees Lei Jiayin.

You said that after filming all day, you finally had a little time to talk to your dad when you got back to the hotel, but Lei Jiayin went crazy and kept going to Xu Yuan's room every day.

Sometimes he would even stay in Xu Yuan's room at night, even if it meant sleeping on the sofa.

Doesn't this man need any life of his own?

That's fine, but when you need hotel service, can't you at least go to your own room?

"Yuan, do you think Meng Xiaoxuan doesn't like me? Why does she always have a dark face every time I come to see you?" Lei Jiayin noticed Meng Xiaoxuan's anger.

"Haven't you noticed that I always have a dark expression on my face whenever you come?" Xu Yuan looked at Lei Jiayin and gave a cold smile.

That bastard is such a natural at making friends.

Convinced!

Time flies when filming on set in Chang'an, and Xu Yuan's scenes are already more than halfway done.

He estimated that he would have at most three or four more scenes before he would be free.

Because of Xu Yuan's seriousness and ruthlessness, the acting quality of the Chang'an crew was indirectly improved by him. No one wanted to be outdone by him, after all, they were all professional actors, and this Xu Yuan was rumored to be Meng Xiaoxuan's personal assistant.

So, apart from Li Yuan, everyone who was going to act opposite Xu Yuan had to worry for a long time.

The main reason was fear of being abused by Xu Yuan.

Unfortunately, Yi Yangqianxi, who debuted as a child star and is now facing a career transition, has encountered this problem.

Today, he has a scene with Xu Yuan.

Long Bo massacred the Jing'an Division!

To be fair, Jackson Yee's performance in this drama was absolutely outstanding, showcasing the level of a talented young actor. Don't take this as irony; keep in mind that he was originally a member of a child singing and dancing group, with zero acting experience.

If Xu Yuan was the biggest discovery of the entire crew, then Yi Yangqianxi was the second biggest discovery.

This child has immense potential.

Many viewers of "The Longest Day in Chang'an" might feel that Yi Yangqianxi's performance started strong but declined in the end, ultimately achieving nothing and not being particularly impressive. However, that's just the effect of the character, and it's precisely because of this that people say Yi Yangqianxi acted well.

This character can be compared to Mei Changsu from Nirvana in Fire.

The only difference is that Mei Changsu is a super protagonist with exceptional wisdom and shrewdness, who has calculated the fate of all people.

Yi Yangqianxi plays Li Bi, a supporting character who is a self-righteous, brilliant, and all-knowing super protagonist.

The two characters are almost identical, but Li Bi has an additional trait: self-righteousness.

Therefore, the naivety, the lack of ruthlessness, the embarrassment when facing the Right Chancellor, and the humility when facing the Crown Prince are not due to Yi Yangqianxi's poor acting skills. On the contrary, they are precisely a testament to his excellent acting abilities.

What the audience dislikes is that the character isn't invincible.

This should not be confused with Yi Yangqianxi's acting skills.

Xu Yuan had already witnessed Yi Yangqianxi's acting style before, and he approved of it.

However, Yi Yangqianxi is destined to suffer in this scene.

Because the core of this play is fear!

Li Bi must be afraid of Long Bo in order to achieve that effect.

But among actors, there's no such thing as who's afraid of whom. Aren't they all good friends in private?

So before acting, Xu Yuan approached Yi Yangqianxi.

"Millennium, are you afraid of me?"

With a forced smile and a slightly pale face, Yi Yangqianxi said, "No, no, no, I'm not afraid!"

Young man, don't be a coward! In a solo match, I never ban a hero!

"Hmm, that's the right emotion." Xu Yuan frowned and walked away.

Is Yi Yangqianxi really that spiritual?

This kid is amazing! He's already developed that kind of emotion of fearing himself but having to fight against himself.

No wonder Cao Dun said that this kid is very likely to have both popularity and talent in the future; he wasn't just talking nonsense.

I had prepared a lot of explanations, but now I don't need to.

Xu Yuan had no idea that Yi Yangqianxi's vest was soaked with sweat after he left.

This is insane!

A film set bully who can smash through concrete with a single step and shatter pebbles with his back – are you scared?

If he adds some action scenes when we're acting together, wouldn't I be doomed?

Yi Yangqianxi is quite worried about his personal safety.

This worry reached its peak after he watched a performance that Xu Yuan had just finished.

Long Bo stormed into the Jing'an Division, grabbed Yu Chang in his arms, and said coldly, "I'll kill him!"

This is the part where Long Bo's emotions fluctuate the most; he hadn't shown any change in expression before!

His anger was understandable.

"Cut! Perfect, get ready for the next scene!" Chen Kewen directed the crew. "Qianxi, go get ready, next up is your scene with Xu Yuan... Qianxi, Qianxi, why are you shivering? Are you cold?"

"A little," Yi Yangqianxi said with a mournful face.

Damn it, this "kill him" is obviously referring to himself!

He really didn't want to act in the next scene.

How come no one in such a large production team as The Longest Day in Chang'an understands them?

Suddenly, a warm, large hand landed on Yi Yangqianxi's shoulder.

"Millennium, I understand you!" Yao Runeng smiled. He was so glad that the script had written that he was hiding behind the door the whole time. This screenwriter is truly amazing!

Half an hour later, everything was ready.

"Action!"

Long Bo led his men into the Jing'an Division's offices, and all the officials prostrated themselves on the ground, not daring to move.

Long Bo glanced at the officials and said, "Bring Li Bi out, and I'll let you live."

The entire room fell silent.

Chen Kewen frowned slightly.

At this moment, it's time for Jackson Yee to stand up.

"What's going on?" Chen Kewen and Cao Dun exchanged glances. "Stage fright? That shouldn't be the case. Qianxi performed very well before."

"It's not clear yet. We need to see how Millennium performs to determine whether it has improved or regressed," Cao Dun said, looking at the small machine.

The camera zooms in for a close-up of Jackson Yee.

Facial twitching, struggling expression, and flickering eyes... Yi Yangqianxi tried to stand up several times, but found that he had no strength in his legs at all.

He can't stand up at all!

He fears!

He was really scared!

Yi Yangqianxi scanned the faces of the actors, and he knew he saw hope in their eyes. They all hoped he would step forward, hoping that he, as the highest-ranking official, would protect them.

Slowly, after several attempts, Yi Yangqianxi finally stood up.

He has a line, such as "It's me," "I am," "Li Bi is here," etc., but he can't say it. His lips trembled several times, but he just couldn't say the line.

"Cut! Perfect, absolutely perfect! Millennium, your acting is superb!"

Cao Dun called "Cut!" and said, "This one's passed!"

It wasn't just a simple matter; the entire set erupted in excitement.

Jackson Yee's acting skills are truly amazing!

He just perfectly concealed Li Bi's inner cowardice and his feeling of having no choice but to stand up. Moreover, he even changed the play, making it so natural and flawless!

Many people who previously criticized Yi Yangqianxi, believing he was just a half-popular celebrity with no acting skills, have been proven wrong.

Yi Yangqianxi is incredibly impressive to be able to hold his own against Xu Yuan in terms of acting skills!

As he received praise from those around him, Yi Yangqianxi truly felt unworthy of it.

He wasn't just acting well; he was genuinely afraid.

"Um, thank you everyone for your encouragement, but could I, Li Bi, go to the restroom first?" Yi Yangqianxi's trousers were slightly warm and damp under his robe.
