Actor: Thank you.

In any setting, whether it's a karaoke bar or a club, stealing someone else's song is extremely impolite.

Zhang Yuan had rarely encountered anything like this before, especially recently.

But guess what?

He met it today!
This surprised him.

I selected a song, specifically a love duet, and just as I was about to grab the microphone, it was snatched away.

When I turned around to look for someone, they had already been pulled away.

What, was my home raided?
“Sisi, let’s sing a duet.”

"Ah... okay." Looking up, she saw a "man" pulling Little Dragon Girl to sing the song he had requested.

It wasn't Wang Leehom; this guy has decent manners and wouldn't do something like that.

Besides, he wouldn't drag Sisi to sing love songs.

Although they are both American citizens, they have common topics and even admire each other.

One was a musical prodigy, the other a beautiful and elegant woman.

However, their relationship only remained at the level of mutual appreciation, without anything beyond friendship.

Because we don't have the same taste.

Sisi likes confident and cheerful people, but they should be relatively quiet.

As for Wang Lihong... he likes flamboyant types.

His taste is that of sexy club girls.

Old Wang loves women with curvaceous, pointed chins.

For him, the type of girl like Xiaolongnu was like a little sister, without any worldly desires.

If it wasn't him, then who could it be?

Zhang Yuan looked at the square-faced man.

I just injured my eardrum because of his singing, and now I'm emotionally hurt too.

Of course, it's Zeng Ge, the master of the "sheep voice"!

“That works too, this is a song by Zhang Yuandian,” Xie Na suggested from the side.

Even though the lights in the private room were dim, she could still tell that Zhang Yuan's complexion had paled considerably.

He then spoke up to remind him.

But to her surprise, the other person completely ignored her and instead held Xixi's hand and waved it in front of the screen.

Zhang Yuan: …

Being cheated on by a man is painful.

But being cheated on by someone who is neither male nor female is even more painful!

Sisi turned to look at him, while Zhang Yuan gently waved his hand, telling her to go.

Little Dragon Girl had a dream of music, and she even realized it.

Although I've learned through practice that I can't do the profession, I still love music and enjoy interacting with people who work in the music industry.

It wasn't the kind of "sassy and sweet" interaction like Zhou Xun or Gao Yuanyuan's; it was a serious one.

She and Jane Zhang have a good relationship.

So after getting to know Zeng Ge on set, we got along quite well and often sang together.

Let them sing, Zhang Yuan said.

If someone is impolite, you can't lower yourself to their level.

When Zeng Ge sang the duet, he glanced at him several times.

As the music ended, Zhang Yuan spontaneously clapped with a smile.

"Great, you can hear and sing along, saving you the cost of a concert ticket."

"another one."

Zhang Yuan encouraged him to continue singing, while he invited Qianqian to sit down and chat with him.

"Aren't you going to sing?"

"It doesn't matter, I didn't come here to sing."

"Hehe..." She was delighted that Zhang Yuan came to visit the set.

"I'll take a break too." But after only a few words, Zeng Ge sat down and squeezed next to them.

"Sisi, you sang very well just now."

"So talented."

"Really? You're very capable too," Little Dragon Girl replied, turning her head.

"I'm planning to write a new song, can you give me some inspiration?"

Zhang Yuan continued to smile as he watched them chat.

Zeng would still occasionally glance at him, his gaze still seemingly carrying that provocation.

"Are you alright...?" Zhang Yuan thought to himself.

"Cough cough cough..." After a while, after singing another song, "I Will Love You Till I Die," Xixi coughed a few times.

Zhang Yuan reached out and felt her pulse, then raised two fingers and tapped her forehead.

"I've caught a bit of a chill, my heart is beating fast, but I don't have a fever."

The weather in Shanghai is gloomy and cold. Being soaked in "rain" all afternoon must be unpleasant.

"Leehom, I think you should go back and rest early, so as not to delay your work tomorrow."

"Okay." Old Wang immediately told his assistant to pay the bill.

After leaving the private room and heading to the garage, Zhang Yuan led Qianqian into his car.

Zeng Ge tried to squeeze in, but Long Ge stopped him.

"How stingy, they won't even let you hitch a ride."

"Let her come up," Zhang Yuan called out before letting her pass.

Back at the hotel, he handed Xixi over to her mother and asked her to buy some cold medicine and ginger tea to help her recover.

He returned to his room with the same expression as always.

His expression darkened as soon as he closed the door.

"Dandan, go next door and call Xie Na over for me."

He sat on the sofa with his legs crossed, waiting.

It took about half an hour for the people to arrive.

Her hair was still wet, clearly she had just taken a shower.

"Boss, I'm here... What do you need me for?" Xie Na cautiously entered the room.

"Oh right, I got my period."

Zhang Yuan: …

What do you think I'm going to do to you?
What kind of advance warning are you taking?
Indeed, it was the middle of the night, and the other person had just finished showering when she called him to her room.

But you should also look in the mirror!
"Sit down, I have something to tell you."

He remained cautious as he took his seat.

How many days have you been on set?

"Only three days."

"Oh...are you familiar with Zeng Yike?"

"We're familiar with each other; we came from Taiwan."

"Yes, your station keeps producing this kind of stuff."

Xie Na: ...

What do you mean by that?

"Go and tell this person tomorrow."

"I don't care what he thinks, but there should be limits to what he does."

"Making friends is just making friends, don't have any other thoughts."

"Do you understand?"

"Understood, boss!" Xie Na raised his hand like a primary school student.

She's a bit cheeky, but not stupid.

Combining what happened at the karaoke bar before, she instantly understood.

Sisi wanted to make friends, but some people might not think the same way.

After it was revealed that she was a boy, the fact that she had a questionable sexual orientation also spread online.

The root of the problem is this guy!

When you make friends, some people may not think the same way.

Later, they all scared Little Dragon Girl away.

Just like Zhang Yuan knew that Yu Zheng wasn't entirely upright, he wouldn't refuse to be friends with him.

But if Yu Zheng suddenly tells him he likes him that day, Zhang Yuan promises to delete his number immediately.

Starting at 0 frames, it's possible to hit him directly.

I can tolerate your problems, but you can't try to take advantage of me.

As long as you don't cross that line, there's nothing wrong with making friends.

Given the current trend of social development, everyone will inevitably have a few crooked people around them in the future.

The situation between Xixi and Zeng Ge is similar to that of these two.

It's obvious that Zeng Ge sees him as a "love rival".

Zhang Yuan felt utterly wronged.

You look like Sylvester Stallone, I'd like to be your rival...

He took the mildest approach, finding a mediator, saying, "Don't say I didn't warn you."

Zhang Yuan chuckled and shook his head, startling Xie Na.

I wondered what he was going to do.

Actually, Zhang Yuan had thought of the rumors about this play.

What's the hottest online information about Wang Lihong right now?
It was his passion with the great pianist, Li!
Back then, online forums and message boards were flooded with short essays. Some even said that the drama "Love Announcement" was Old Wang's love letter to his girlfriend.

They even said that the character Sissi was actually based on a piano prince...

Because the two of them interacted quite a lot at that time and had collaborated before.

Actually, that's impossible; both of them are very straight men.

It's possible they'd have sex together, since they have similar tastes in women—both love women with big breasts, big buttocks, long legs, and pointed chins.

At this point, it was impossible for Li Yundi to have any feelings for Lao Wang that went beyond friendship.

Because of the filming schedule, Li Yundi was with Miss H at the same time.

This young lady's demeanor and background are frighteningly powerful.

Li Neng's later success was due not only to his own abilities and appearance, but also to the support of women.

Just look at this guy, doesn't he also have a pointed chin? He likes that kind of thing.

The character Sisi is actually based on Wang Lihong's "white moonlight".

She was Lao Wang's first love when he was in college, a Chinese-American senior with the surname Bai.

Men only care about this one thing: the one they can never forget in their lives is the woman who left them with regrets from their youth.

The inspiration for most of Lao Wang's love songs comes from this person.

Because of his plans to develop his career in mainland China, Mr. Wang and Ms. Bai eventually broke up due to their long-distance relationship.

Therefore, this drama gives a happy ending, which, to some extent, is to make up for the regrets in his own life.

Using films to compare reality is a very common practice in the film and television industry.

For example, this year's film, "City Under Siege," is "stylistically very different" and can be described as a Chinese-language mutant film.

Shu Qi's character, a self-centered, vain, and ruthless female anchor, is essentially a direct mockery of Hou Pei-ceng.

Yan Shouyi in "Cellphone" is also Xiao Cui.

Zhang Yuan also remarked that the movie "Love Announcement" felt like a music video, like a love letter, but it didn't quite feel like a commercial film.

The following morning, after disguising himself, he returned to the film set.

"Do you feel better?"

"It's alright, cough cough..." Sisi said, coughing a few more times.

I took his pulse; at least his condition hadn't worsened.

"I'm going to say something that no girl likes to hear," Zhang Yuan said. "In your case, drink more hot water."

"I don't dislike hearing this."

"That's even better, get some rest and sing less."

"Okay, I know." She looked at Zhang Yuan with a mixture of disdain and affection: "Do you think I look too plain like this?"

She pointed to her face.

Although she always says she doesn't care about appearance, she actually does.

I'm also afraid that I won't look good in the photos; every girl feels that way.

"It's really not good."

"Is that so?" She frowned, looking worried.

"If you don't wear makeup, the audience will see you as I see you, and I'm not willing to share that."

"Hehehe, you're always trying to fool me."

"I cough whenever I laugh."

After commotion for a while, she came to the camera.

Due to health reasons, the role was adjusted.

Instead of continuing filming the scene from yesterday's rain, they will film the finale.

The two shared their innermost feelings and then snuggled together in a scene.

It's easy to perform and not difficult.

Zhang Yuan watched from the side and felt that the two of them lying together didn't have any chemistry as a couple.

After a shot was filmed, Wang Lihong went to the camera to watch the playback, and it was still up to him, the director, to make the final decision.

"Leehom, I think Du Minghan and Song Xiaoqing have a deep relationship after going through hardships and gaining each other's trust."

Cheng Chong, who plays the agent, is also watching and talking to Lao Wang.

"So just a hug isn't enough emotionally engaging."

"Actually, there could be a kissing scene. The audience should also want to see the male and female leads kiss in the finale."

Zhang Yuan: …

You're just looking for trouble, aren't you!
Just film it the way the script is written, why are you, Old Bi Deng, making such a fuss?

Hiss... After Cheng Chong finished speaking, he felt a chill on the back of his neck, as if he had been pricked by a needle.

Looking back, she saw Zhang Yuan looking at her with the kind, boyish gaze of a little boy.

"Hey!" At this moment, Sisi appeared in front of him and waved her hand in front of his eyes.

"That's not good." Little Dragon Girl saw right through what he was thinking.

"He's a senior, so please be polite."

"Besides, this is my job. An actor's duty is to follow the director's instructions within the limits."

You can't keep doing this.

"You didn't do anything good on the set of 'The Forbidden Kingdom' before."

Zhang Yuan looked indifferent; it was just a matter of reducing the intensity for Mai.

“Okay, I have no objection.” He raised his hands.

Wang Lihong, on the other hand, was questioning Liu Xiaoli.

"Aunt Liu, is it okay if I film a kissing scene with your daughter?"

“Look,” Zhang Yuan pointed, “even Leehom knows you’re a mama’s boy.”

"I'm not like that," she retorted helplessly.

Aunt Liu was quite open-minded about this and had no objections, telling the other party that they should ask Qianqian.

Honey, what should I do?

That's true. If you're there, you can stop them; if you're not, who will stop you?

It has to be filmed eventually; the audience wants to see it, and the director is willing to film it.

"Sister Chong." Zhang Yuan came to Cheng Chong's side and chatted with her with a smile.

"Your girlfriend is filming a kissing scene, are you okay with that?" Cheng Chong thought of the look he had just given him.

It's not that scary, it's just like Hannibal wanting to "be a human being".

"No problem, it's all work."

"That's right, an actor's body is part of the work, let alone kissing scenes, even nude scenes..."

"Li Xiaolu, right?" Zhang Yuan directly called out the name of the actress who had been ruined by her.

Cheng Chong's face froze instantly.

"It's alright, you're a senior, what you say is all correct."

Zhang Yuan said he didn't care.

Moreover, his lack of grudges is well-known in the industry.

For example, at 10:08 a.m. on April 8, 2010, the weather was sunny and breezy. Cheng Chong, wearing a black women's suit, with his hair up and wearing high heels, and with three wrinkles on his left eye and four on his right eye, shoved Xixi to film a kissing scene, but he didn't remember anything about it.

It's a good thing that the senior actress gave the production team feedback; I must repay her on behalf of Xixi if I have the chance.

Because I am kind.

Filming began soon after.

Zhang Yuan originally wanted to say that Qianqian had a cold, but she wasn't afraid of catching it.

But never mind, it's like holding fine sand in your hand; the tighter you grasp it, the faster it slips away.

There is a skill in Tai Chi called "The Sparrow Cannot Fly". If you master it, you can put a bird in your palm and it won't be able to fly away even if it wants to.

Because birds need to exert force to take off, if they lose that force even for a moment, they will have no chance of taking off.

The same applies to matters of the heart.

Grab it in one go, refine it instantly, that's possible.

But there will always be a time when you let go, because if you don't let go, the bird will suffocate.

Traditional kung fu emphasizes neutralizing force, using minimal effort to overcome great strength.

Sisi is also a stubborn person, and she loves freedom at heart.

Some women like it when you're a chauvinist, controlling, and acting like a father to them.

These are usually people who lack love.

Some women, on the contrary, become uncomfortable if you try to restrict or control them.

Wang Lihong is not like Zhang Tielin, who would take advantage of acting opportunities.

Zhang Yuan watched from the side. The two simply looked at each other, their eyebrows twitching slightly for a few seconds before slowly pressing their lips together.

They barely touched the water before immediately calling it a day and separating.

After taking the picture, Sisi turned around and saw that Zhang Yuan was expressionless. She was happy that he had matured, but also felt a little jealous.

A woman's heart is quite complex.

Zhang Yuan took a special look at it, but after reading it, he didn't think there was anything wrong with it.

However, his skill of "using four ounces to move a thousand pounds" works well for ordinary people.

The same goes for Sisi; this guy even came over and talked to him.

"See? It's nothing."

However, it doesn't work for everyone.

Because in this world, besides normal people, there are also abnormal people.

They were sitting and drinking hot water to maintain their health when suddenly a figure darted in front of them.

"Zhang Yuan, you son of a bitch!"
