My crush wants to be my sugar daddy.

Chapter 191 Making a Movie 2

Chi Yuan ignored him?

Chi Yuan is ignoring him?!

Jiang Haochen's expression turned resentful for a moment, then his gaze shifted to Director Yang.

Director Yang was having a headache. He hadn't allowed the two to have any contact so that Jiang Haochen could immerse himself in his role. But now he was a little uncertain. What if it backfired, making the guy love her even more after their separation?

Tsk, you really can't use a couple to make movies.

Director Yang: "Chi Yuan, go and get ready."

Chi Yuan knew that Director Yang didn't want him to affect Jiang Haochen's mood, so he responded and left.

Jiang Haochen also saw through Director Yang's arrangement. He didn't say anything, walked over, and said with a wry smile, "Director Yang, do you really have that little faith in me?"

Director Yang snorted: "If you're so confident, then give me a performance."

Jiang Haochen: "..."

That old man, how can he have such a sharp tongue?

However, he couldn't refute this. It was indeed his responsibility that he wasn't in the right state of mind. If he didn't act well, he didn't act well, and he was willing to take responsibility for that.

Director Yang: "How are the adjustments going? You're the investor in this film. If it drags on any longer, you'll be burning through your own money."

They still know it's my money, yet they take my money, make me work, and even yell at me on set!

Jiang Haochen: "I've adjusted, but... I'm not sure I can act it out in front of Chi Yuan."

Director Yang immediately retorted, "What the hell are you talking about? What, for your sake, I'd replace Chi Yuan?"

When Chi Yuan heard his name called, he turned around and looked over.

Jiang Haochen was so frightened he almost covered Director Yang's mouth: "What nonsense are you talking about? You might as well replace me."

Director Yang snorted: "It's not impossible. I'll have someone contact Yan Chuan right away."

Jiang Haochen: "!!!"

This old man, he got the upper hand with Yan Chuan once, so he wants to get the upper hand every time, huh?

Jiang Haochen: "Please don't rush, let me finish. I'm just saying that I can't act properly in front of Chi Yuan. If the emotions are still not right when we're filming, please film our scenes separately. As long as I don't look directly into Chi Yuan's eyes, I can act it out."

Director Yang: "Why?"

He had always thought that Jiang Haochen couldn't find the right emotions, but now it sounded like he had, but he just couldn't act them out in front of Chi Yuan.

Jiang Haochen gave a wry smile: "There are some reasons for this, it's kind of a knot in my heart. Anyway, as long as I don't let Chi Yuan act opposite me, I can act it out."

He admitted that he was being a bit unprofessional, but he really couldn't stand those eyes.

Chi Won plays Cheng Yan, a police officer who deliberately approaches Xiao Ye, but during their time together, he becomes irrevocably moved by him. However, the lines between good and evil are blurred, and their encounter is destined for tragedy. Although Xiao Ye wants to clear his name, his past crimes cannot be erased. While Cheng Yan admires and appreciates the man, the law is unforgiving.

During that final test, he had already sensed that his identity might be exposed, but he still came. Chi Yuan had analyzed with him Cheng Yan's feelings at that time.

"I think Cheng Yan has realized he's been exposed. He went to Xiao Ye at this time, saying it was for the last batch of weapons, but I think he was prepared to die at Xiao Ye's hands. In the two years he's been undercover, Xiao Ye has saved Cheng Yan three times. Although Cheng Yan is a policeman, he's still human. He can't be indifferent to someone who has saved his life three times. If he didn't have that much flesh and blood, he couldn't have become a policeman," Chi Yuan said. "So, I think at this moment, the look in Cheng Yan's eyes when he looked at Xiao Ye was... a look that said, 'No matter what you do to me, even if I die at your hands, I'm willing.' He can't betray his beliefs, and he can't betray his heart. He's in too much pain."

During filming, when Chi Yuan looked at Jiang Haochen with eyes that seemed to say, "I'd be willing to die by your hand," Jiang Haochen was out of character.

Because he had seen those eyes before.

When he first started keeping Chi Yuan as his mistress and hadn't yet realized he liked him, Chi Yuan would occasionally look at him with this kind of gaze.

Mr. Jiang, you can do whatever you want.

Although he hadn't actually done anything to Chi Yuan, and now they had even confessed their feelings to each other, this belated realization caused him excruciating pain.

He tried to adjust, he really tried hard, but he just couldn't detach himself from it.

How could he express hatred into eyes like those?

Although Jiang Haochen's words were not very direct, Director Yang vaguely sensed the emotions in them. He thought for a moment and said, "Then let's do as you said, shoot a test first, and if it doesn't work, shoot it separately and edit it in post-production."

Jiang Haochen smiled: "Thank you, director."

Director Yang rolled his eyes at him, annoyed: "Go and get ready."

After Jiang Haochen left, Director Yang thought for a moment, then called over a stagehand and asked him to fetch something.

This final scene depicts Xiao Ye, played by Jiang Haochen, discovering Cheng Yan's undercover identity. He wants to kill Cheng Yan, so he invites Cheng Yan to the theater.

This theater was where they first met. At that time, Cheng Yan was a talented dancer, specializing in peacock dance. Xiao Ye had a younger sister who also studied peacock dance, and he loved her dearly, but she died of illness when she was very young. Since then, Xiao Ye would go to see peacock dance performances whenever he had free time.

Cheng Yan learned the peacock dance to get closer to Xiao Ye, and Xiao Ye did indeed pay more attention to Cheng Yan for this reason.

This theater was a birthday gift Xiao Ye prepared for Cheng Yan. He thought that once the assets were laundered, Cheng Yan would no longer have to live in fear and could continue dancing in this theater.

Ironically, Cheng Yan is a policeman, and their encounter at the theater was nothing more than a conspiracy.

Xiao Ye thought, since it started here, it should end here.

He invited Cheng Yan over, had him sit in the audience, and asked the young man to dance the same dance they had performed when they first met.

Halfway through the peacock dance, Xiao Ye walked onto the stage, grabbed Cheng Yan by the neck, and tried to kill him. He hated him intensely, and loved him intensely, but in the end, he let Cheng Yan go. It was in that moment of letting go that he chose to give his own life to Cheng Yan.

This scene requires a very strong emotional tension. If it is not filmed well, Xiao Ye's death later will not be able to convey the audience's emotions. Therefore, Director Yang is particularly strict with his requirements.

At this moment, Xiao Ye, played by Jiang Haochen, was sitting in the audience dressed in formal attire, his gaze deep and unfathomable as he stared at the stage.

Just as Chi Yuan was about to go on stage to dance, a stagehand suddenly handed him a peacock mask.

"This is?"

Production assistant: "The director said you should wear it."

Chi Yuan didn't ask any more questions and went up wearing the mask.

Chi Yuan already had a background in dance, so he seriously studied the dance. The peacock dance evolved from the courtship posture of peacocks in nature. In addition, the relationship between the two characters in the movie was ambiguous, so this dance had to be performed with both passion and exuberance, as well as a touch of lingering sadness.

Jiang Haochen was only surprised for a moment when he saw the mask, but he quickly got into character. The mask covered the upper half of Chi Yuan's face, and even his eyes were mostly covered by feathers.

Halfway through the dance, Jiang Haochen went on stage and grabbed "Cheng Yan" by the neck. The peacock that had just been spreading its tail feathers was now being held in his hand like a chick.

"Brother?" Cheng Yan called softly, but did not struggle.

Xiao Ye didn't respond, his eyes filled with murderous intent. When the murderous intent reached its peak, he suddenly lowered his head and kissed the boy's lips, as if he wanted to devour him whole.

Director Yang: "!!!!!!!"

This kid actually added his own drama.

But he was in good condition, so Director Yang didn't call a stop. He held his breath and watched Jiang Haochen's expression on the monitor.

The kiss was filled with violence and bloodshed; when they parted, both their lips were covered in blood. Xiao Ye's eyes burned with a reckless madness. He reached out and lifted Cheng Yan's mask, meeting the boy's deep, dark eyes.

He paused for a moment, the madness in his eyes gradually faded, leaving only a desolate scene.

He couldn't bring himself to do it.

He released Cheng Yan and turned to walk off the stage.

Cheng Yan took two steps after him and asked with bloodstained lips, "Brother, can you take me with you tomorrow?"

He needs to know the location of the arms deal.

Xiao Ye paused, the light dimming as he chuckled and replied, "Okay."

"Cut!" Director Yang smiled with satisfaction. "You've saved your reputation for life, kid."

Jiang Haochen smiled and turned to look at Chi Yuan, who was wiping the blood from the corner of his lips as he walked towards him.

"Congratulations on wrapping up filming, Mr. Chi."

"Congratulations on wrapping up filming, Mr. Jiang."
