My crush wants to be my sugar daddy.

Chapter 84 Chi Yuan Injured

Chi Yuan never imagined that one day he would be acting alongside Jiang Haochen, and even acting opposite him.

"Mr. Jiang..." Chi Yuan was both nervous and excited, his whole body tense.

Yan Chuan, already quite annoyed, became even angrier upon seeing Chi Yuan like this. However, Jiang Haochen had said he was acting opposite Chi Yuan, not performing for him, so he had no reason to refuse.

"Don't be nervous." Jiang Haochen patted the boy reassuringly. "I'll take you with me."

For Chi Yuan, the phrase "I'll take you with me" was the most seductive thing in the world. Even if it meant facing mountains of knives and seas of fire, he would close his eyes and follow.

In front of the monitor, Director Rong's expression immediately became excited: "Yes, yes, that's the expression, keep it, Chi Yuan, keep it."

When the director called out to him like that, Chi Yuan became embarrassed, hiding her slightly red ear tips in her messy hair, afraid that someone would notice.

Jiang Haochen half-squatted on the ground, looking the boy in the eye: "I just read a bit and roughly understand the relationships between you guys, but could you tell me more?"

Chi Yuan nodded hastily: "Xuanyuan Chong is an emperor, and Ling Che, whom I play, is from a military family. When Ling Che was young, his father and brothers died on the battlefield to protect the country. To protect the Ling family bloodline, Xuanyuan Chong raised Ling Che by his side from a young age..."

The young man, in a clear and bright voice, meticulously explained the relationship between Xuan Yuanzhong and Ling Che, not only from his own perspective but also from Xuan Yuanzhong's. The detail and precision of his explanation were so profound that even someone who had never read the novel before could sense the young man's dedication.

Jiang Haochen's eyes were full of appreciation for the boy. No one would dislike a hardworking and dedicated person, especially one who is also good-looking and well-behaved.

The atmosphere between the two was so good that even Yan Chuan had to admit that even when he was taking great care of Chi Yuan at the beginning, the boy had never been this relaxed.

Jiang Haochen: "Okay, I understand roughly. Let's go over it together."

Jiang Haochen walked up to Yan Chuan and politely asked, "Could I borrow a horse?"

Yan Chuan really wanted to refuse, but if he did, it would make him seem like he was afraid of Jiang Haochen, so he lent it to him anyway.

Jiang Haochen took the reins, nimbly mounted the horse, and then pulled on the reins, causing the horse to obediently walk back a short distance. Then, he habitually made a gesture in the direction of the director.

Director Rong immediately understood: "Follow the camera."

Jiang Haochen appeared in the video without any makeup or costume, yet his imperial majesty was still evident in the shot.

"drive."

Jiang Haochen spurred his horse toward Chi Yuan. Chi Yuan, struggling, seemed to sense something, turned around with difficulty, raised his eyes, and looked toward the direction from which the sound of hooves came. His eyes were filled with shock, joy, and worry.

"His Majesty!"

"Quick, quick, zoom in for a close-up!" Director Rong was so excited that he forgot this was a test shoot; Chi Yuan's expression in the shot was just too perfect.

Because it was a test shoot, Jiang Haochen didn't take out his sword or cut the ropes binding the boy. He simply bent down and pulled the boy from the ground onto the horse's back, then held him tightly in his arms.

This wasn't the first time Chi Yuan had been held in Mr. Jiang's arms, but such a tight, forceful embrace, as if Mr. Jiang would protect him with his life, was something Chi Yuan had never experienced before.

Chi Yuan's eyes inexplicably reddened.

"The enemy leader's life is important, but your life is more important." Jiang Haochen said his line, then suddenly leaned down and whispered his name in the boy's ear, as if he were speaking to Chi Yuan, not to the character in the play.

The boy's eyes widened suddenly, and his heart pounded so hard it felt like it would jump out of his chest.

"Okay, okay, okay, this is perfect!" Director Rong said, "Use this one, this one is good."

The assistant director couldn't stand it any longer and spoke up, reminding him, "Director Rong, this is a test shoot, it can't be used!"

Director Rong looked immediately disappointed: "I should have done a styling for Jiang Haochen, otherwise this would have been usable. What a pity."

The assistant director muttered under his breath, "You really have a wild idea, having Jiang, the Best Actor, as Yan's stunt double. Aren't you afraid of getting attacked by the fans?"

Director Rong immediately lost his nerve. As a director, he dared to challenge capital in this industry, but the only people he dared not challenge were his fans.

"Ahhh, WSL, this feels even better than when she was with Yan Yingdi!" The screenwriter screamed wildly while staring at the monitor screen with her computer, her whole body almost twisted into a pretzel.

Director Rong looked like he'd found a kindred spirit, thinking to himself that everyone's aesthetic sense was indeed the same: "When we shoot it again later, if Chi Yuan's expression isn't as good as this take, we'll cut it out."

On the other side, Jiang Haochen patted the boy on the shoulder: "Good pat, remember how you felt just now. Also, no matter what others say, I'm here for you."

Chi Yuan didn't quite understand the meaning of the second half of the sentence, but he still obediently nodded.

After a period of rest, filming officially began.

Although Yan Chuan was frustrated and wanted to quit after Jiang Haochen's audition, he still had professional ethics. He not only had to act, but he had to act well, otherwise people would say that Jiang Haochen's acting skills were better than his.

"The Imperial Power, 182 scenes, five shots, three takes, filming begins."

As soon as the camera zoomed in on Yan Chuan's face, Director Rong noticed that Yan Chuan was in exceptionally good condition, like an emperor personally leading his army, sword in hand, riding towards the bound young general.

Chi Yuan's reaction was also good. Although his emotions were somewhat less than when he was facing Jiang Haochen, they were still very appropriate.

Yan Chuan galloped faster than before, and when he stopped in front of the boy, the horse's hooves kicked up stones from the ground due to the sudden stop, which hit the horse in front of him.

The horse, already restless from being forced to trot slowly, began to fidget and move its hooves restlessly.

Yan Chuan swung his sword at the rope, and Chi Yuan cooperated by offering Yan Chuan his other unbound hand so that he could pull himself onto the horse later.

Then an unexpected thing happened!

Yan Chuan did not cut the rope. At the same time, a box of parts was overturned by the props team. The loud noise startled the already agitated horses, and the horses immediately ran forward uncontrollably.

Almost instinctively, Yan Chuan grabbed Chi Yuan's hand, trying to pull him up.

But Chi Yuan was even faster. The moment Yan Chuan grabbed his hand, he pulled it back. Yan Chuan watched helplessly as the boy was dragged away by the crazed horse.

"Quickly, Lavia."

The wire harness operator reacted quickly and pulled Chi Yuan up from the ground. However, the horse was running in a different direction than the wire harness had set up, so they dared not pull him too hard, otherwise Chi Yuan would be pulled from both ends, and the consequences would be even worse.

"Put him down!" The wireman made a quick decision, and Chi Yuan fell from mid-air again, his head still being dragged by the horse.

A sharp pain shot through his body, and Chi Yuan could only try to protect his face.

"Help!"

The scene was in complete chaos.

"Oh no, Actor Yan just grabbed the wrong sword." Xuan Yuanzhong has two swords. One is the one he usually uses for filming, which is unsharpened. The other is the one he prepared for this scene, which is sharpened and can cut ropes.

Just now, when Jiang Haochen was auditioning, Yan Chuan put the sword back. The two swords looked the same, so he must have picked up the wrong one.

Jiang Haochen was standing nearby. Upon hearing this, he drew the sword from the other man's hand and rushed out.

Because of the large crowd, the frightened horse ran in circles. Jiang Haochen accurately predicted the direction and ran towards the horse. In the instant he passed it, he cut the rope with his sword.

Even so, Chi Yuan was still dragged six or seven meters away by inertia, and Jiang Haochen dropped his sword, rushed over and picked him up.

"Chi Yuan! Chi Yuan! Call an ambulance!"
