Huayu: This celebrity doesn't follow the rules.

Chapter 107 I booked a room for you
"It sounds complicated, but now that you've explained it, it seems quite simple." She leaned closer to him, her shoulder resting against his arm. "Let me think about it some more... Actually, I'd like to try movies and TV series; I don't want to limit myself."

“Hmm,” Jiang Ye glanced down at his phone, “It’s already past eleven. It’s windy by the river. I’ll book a hotel nearby. You should get some rest.”

When did you book the hotel?

Chen Duling's heart skipped a beat, and she instinctively moved to the side, saying, "No need, no need, I can go home tonight too..."

"It's not safe to take the high-speed train so late."

Without a word, Jiang Ye took her hand and led her to the hotel, his grip gentle yet firm, "Listen to me, just stay one night, I'll take you back tomorrow."

His fingertips were warm to the touch, and he was gripping her tightly, so tightly that she couldn't break free even after struggling a couple of times.

This bad boy!
At that moment, she realized her mother was right, but she still obediently followed behind Jiang Ye...

As Chen Duling entered the hotel lobby, she was still muttering to herself, "Really, it doesn't have to be this complicated..."

Jiang Ye walked straight to the front desk, gave her his ID information, and then turned to her, raising an eyebrow: "It's already booked, you can't expect me to cancel it, can you?"

When Chen Duling received the room key, the tips of her ears were already bright red.

Inside the elevator, Jiang Ye stood behind her, his warm breath brushing against her neck. She nervously clenched the hem of her clothes, staring at the changing floor numbers, too afraid to turn around.

As soon as the elevator doors opened, he naturally took her bag and stepped out first, saying, "We're here."

The moment the door opened, warm yellow light flooded out. Jiang Ye stepped aside to let her in, but followed her in himself, closing the door behind him.

With a soft click, as if locking the space, Chen Duling suddenly turned around: "How did you get in?"

"Let me put your things down for you."

Jiang Ye placed the bag in the entryway, his gaze falling on her flushed face, and slowly approached. "By the way... check if there's anything wrong with the room."

Chen Duling took two steps back, her back pressed against the door: "Jiang Ye, don't do anything rash..."

Her voice trembled, tinged with panic.

"I won't do anything reckless."

Jiang Ye stopped in front of her, placed his hands on the door panel, and pulled her into his arms, his nose almost touching her forehead. "I just want to spend some time with you."

He looked down at her and said, "I've talked to you so much today, but I haven't even given you a proper hug yet."

"no……"

Chen Duling turned her head away from his gaze, but her cheek brushed against his chin, bringing a tingling, itchy sensation. "You should go back."

"Who will heat up your milk when you get back?"

Jiang Ye chuckled softly, then suddenly reached out and pulled her into his arms, resting his chin on the top of her head. "Just for a little while, okay?"

His embrace was warm, enveloped in the scent of cedar, which gradually softened her struggling.

After a while, Chen Duling nudged him: "Alright, you should go now."

Jiang Ye didn't let go. Instead, he lowered his head and whispered in her ear, "Sister Dudu, I won't leave, okay?"

"What did you say!" Chen Duling suddenly looked up at him, her cheeks burning hot. "Get out of here!"

She reached out to push him, but he grabbed her wrist and pressed it against the door.

The distance between them suddenly closed, and his breath sprayed onto her lips, hot and scalding.

Chen Duling's heart was pounding as if it would explode. Just as she was about to turn her head away, Jiang Ye's kiss landed on her lips.

He first gently pecked at the corner of her lips, and seeing that she didn't really resist, he boldly deepened the kiss.

"Well... let go..."

She struggled vaguely, but her hands, which were pushing against his chest, were too weak to move.

Jiang Ye's kisses were both urgent and tender, with an irresistible aggressiveness, swallowing all her rejections.

He pulled back slightly until she was out of breath, his forehead pressed against hers, his voice hoarse: "Dudu, this is a double room, how about we each have our own bed?"

"Don't worry, I'll definitely behave tonight!"

"I swear..."

Chen Duling bit her lip and glared at him, her eyes red, but she didn't insist on sending him away anymore.

Consider it feeding the dog...

……

The next morning, on the set of "Love O2O".

Jiang Ye walked in humming a little tune, his face beaming with an undisguised smile, and even his greeting to the stagehands was three times more enthusiastic than yesterday.

He sat down in the director's chair, his fingers tapping lightly on the armrests, and even director Lin Yufen couldn't help but glance at him a few more times.

"Director Jiang seems to be in a good mood today?" The assistant director handed over a cup of coffee.

"It's alright." Jiang Ye took the coffee, took a sip, and the corners of his mouth involuntarily turned up in a smile.

At this moment, Meng Ziyi sneaked over and stuffed a thermal bag into his hand.

"Here you go, pork buns and soy milk. Eat them while they're hot."

"So thoughtful today?"

Meng Ziyi didn't reply, but instead squinted at him and asked, "Where did you go last night?"

She suddenly reached out and poked his under-eye area, "These dark circles are almost reaching the corners of your mouth."

"Didn't you sleep all night?"

Jiang Ye coughed lightly and leaned back subtly: "I was socializing with some senior students from Shanghai, and we talked about projects until too late."

"Really?" Meng Ziyi suddenly leaned closer and sniffed his collar. "Strange, why does it smell like milk shower gel? I remember you never use this brand."

Jiang Ye was stunned, and almost spilled the soy milk.

He forced a calm demeanor and changed the subject: "Aren't we filming the arcade scene today? Is the props team ready?"

Meng Ziyi pouted and took out a box of eye drops from her pocket, placing it in front of him: "Give me a drop, you're as red as a rabbit."

She paused, then muttered softly, "I wonder how late they were entertaining clients."

Just as Jiang Ye was about to explain, the script supervisor suddenly shouted through a megaphone, "Everyone, get ready! Filming will begin in five minutes!"

Meng Ziyi made a face at him and turned to walk towards the dressing room.

Jiang Ye watched her departing figure and secretly breathed a sigh of relief. His fingers unconsciously touched his lips, where the sensation of someone biting him last night still lingered.

"Director Jiang?" Lin Yufen's voice pulled him back to reality. "Do you think the blocking for this scene is okay?"

Jiang Ye quickly sat up straight, forcing himself to focus his attention on the monitor.

But the image of Chen Duling kicking him off the bed with a flushed face last night involuntarily surfaced in his mind, and the corners of his mouth quietly curled up again.

He climbed back, of course...

Jiang Ye stayed on set until noon and then slipped away!

After all, Lin Yufen was the one who actually directed the filming of this drama. He was happy to have some free time, and no one in the crew really expected him to be on set all day.

If he really tries to seize command, it will only make everyone feel constrained.

Absolutely unnecessary!
He just needs to make sure he films his part related to the game, that's enough!
When the hotel room door was opened, Chen Duling was curled up on the sofa watching anime. Hearing the noise, she looked up and her cheeks instantly flushed.

Sunlight streamed through the French windows and fell on her. Her hair was loosely tied up, revealing her slender neck, where faint kiss marks from the previous night were faintly visible.

"Awake?" Jiang Ye placed the food box he had just bought on the coffee table, walked over and ruffled her hair. "Get up and eat something."

Chen Duling turned her face away, her voice hoarse: "I just woke up not long ago... why are you back?"

"The crew is fine, I'll come back to be with you."

He opened the insulated bag, and the aroma of hot noodle soup instantly wafted out. "Eat something quickly, you didn't eat much last night."

The two sat side by side on the sofa eating noodles, and when their fingers occasionally touched, they couldn't help but smile at each other.

An ambiguous atmosphere filled the air, and compared to the tense and strained atmosphere of the previous night, there was a more natural intimacy now.

After finishing her noodles, Chen Duling packed her backpack: "I have to go to the train station. I bought a ticket to go back to Nanjing this afternoon. I have class early tomorrow morning."

Jiang Ye held her bag: "What's the rush? Let's change your ticket to tomorrow morning. I'll take you to eat local Shanghai cuisine tonight, and I'll take you to the station first thing tomorrow morning. We'll make it in time."

Chen Duling glared at him fiercely, her ears burning red: "Didn't you cause enough trouble yesterday?" Jiang Ye raised an eyebrow innocently, his tone righteous and awe-inspiring: "What nonsense are you talking about? I was just worried you'd get tired from traveling this afternoon, so I wanted you to rest a bit more."

He reached out and gently pinched the tip of her nose. "Besides, the high-speed train from Shanghai to Nanjing is very fast. I'll take you to the station tomorrow morning, and I promise it won't interfere with your class."

Chen Duling was speechless after being cornered by him, and finally sighed helplessly: "Okay... just one night, no more nonsense."

The next morning, Jiang Ye took her to Shanghai Hongqiao Station.

When Dudu got out of the car, her steps were a little unnatural, and her brows were slightly furrowed, as if her whole body was still a little sore and weak.

Jiang Ye looked at her and teased, "What's wrong? Didn't you sleep well last night? Or... does someone need a cushion when they walk?"

Chen Duling's cheeks flushed red instantly. She reached out and slapped his arm, both angry and embarrassed: "Shut up!"

But his steps were still slow and he didn't dare to take big strides.

Jiang Ye laughed and dodged her, then picked up her suitcase and weighed it in his hand: "Fine, seeing how defeated you are, I'll do you a favor and take you to the school gate."

"So you won't break down halfway with your luggage and have to call me for help."

"Who asked for help!" Chen Duling glared at him, but her heart was filled with sweetness, and her rebuttal was weak and feeble. "Then... just take him to the school gate, and don't let him into the school!"

The high-speed train journey was smooth, and Chen Duling leaned on his shoulder to catch up on sleep. When she woke up, they had already arrived at Nanjing South Station.

When they arrived at the school gate, Jiang Ye helped her put her suitcase on the roadside and reached out to tidy her bangs that had been ruffled by the wind: "Go in, remember to text me tonight."

Looking at the tenderness in his eyes, Chen Duling suddenly tiptoed and gently hugged him, saying, "Thank you for bringing me back."

Her voice was filled with undisguised joy.

Jiang Ye tightened his arms around her, resting his chin on the top of her head: "I'll come see you again this weekend."

The two figures, embracing each other, were seen in the morning light by two boys who had just returned from an all-night session at an internet cafe.

One of them, rubbing his sleepy eyes, stared at Chen Duling's back with a puzzled look: "Hey, that girl... doesn't she look just like our school beauty, Chen Duling?"

He scratched his head, his face full of disbelief. "Wasn't she always single? How come she suddenly has a boyfriend?"

There was a hint of disappointment in his tone.

Zhang Xiaofeng, standing beside her, didn't look at Chen Duling. Instead, he stared intently at Jiang Ye, watching him ruffle Chen Duling's hair and watch her walk into the school gate before turning away. His expression was complicated, and his eyes were full of admiration.

"This is...this is our ancestor...!"

"???"

……

October has arrived in the blink of an eye!
The crew of "Zhou Sheng Ru Gu" in Hengdian

After a month of preliminary planning, the filming of this drama has successfully begun in Hengdian.

The classic scenes here are enough to support the plot, and there is almost no need to build large sets. Only minor adjustments need to be made according to the details of the script.

The film crew rented the core area of ​​the Qin Palace scenic area early in the morning.

The majestic palace complex, vermilion palace walls, and bronze animal head door knockers naturally exude the solemnity of the Northern Chen Dynasty's imperial palace, making it perfect for filming scenes such as court meetings and palace banquets.

The covered walkway and side hall on the west side of the Qin Palace were transformed into the residence of the Cui clan in the capital, with carved beams and painted rafters revealing the heritage of a prominent family.

In addition, they also booked several ancient building complexes in the Qingming Riverside Scene scenic area.

The pavilions, towers, and stone-paved streets here exude the gentle warmth of the Jiangnan water towns. They were used as the inner courtyard of the Xizhou Prince's Mansion where Zhou Shengchen was stationed. The corridors beside the artificial hills and flowing water were perfect for filming scenes of him discussing matters with his disciples.

The ancient street of Fanlou in the scenic area has become a bustling marketplace in Xizhou City, with taverns with signs and cloth shops along the street, which, with a little decoration, have a lively atmosphere.

At this time, they were filming the scene in "Zhou Sheng Ru Gu" where Cui Shiyi first enters the Xizhou Prince's Mansion and pays respects to Zhou Shengchen's disciples in the corridor.

Bai Lu wore a moon-white ruqun (a type of traditional Chinese dress), with delicate silver thread patterns embroidered on the collar and cuffs. A lotus-colored silk sash was tied around her waist, and the hem of her skirt swayed gently with her steps, revealing light-colored embroidered shoes underneath.

She wore a light blue gauze shawl with fine pearl tassels sewn along the edges, which jingled as she moved.

Her hair was styled in a double bun, adorned with two small silver magnolia hairpins, and she was nodding slightly to the disciples played by the extras, just as the script had suggested.

"Yan Yan! Yan Yan!"

Suddenly, the assistant came running from the end of the corridor, his voice trembling with excitement, "We have a car!"

Bai Lu had just finished filming a scene and was taking a sip of water when she heard this and was taken aback: "Huh? I've always had a car!"

She, Bai Mengyan, was the first person at Jiangying Media to be provided with a car.

"It's not a van! It's a campervan!" Hehe stamped his foot. "The company just transferred it here; they said it was for us!"

Bai Lu nearly dropped her water glass, her eyes widening instantly: "Really?"

She turned and ran towards the monitor where the director, Cat Tree, was located. "Director Cat! Can I take five minutes off?"

Cat Tree, who was watching the replay, laughed and said, "Is the car here? I'm in too, let's go take a look together!"

The three walked quickly to the parking lot and saw three silver-gray mid-sized motorhomes parked neatly under the shade of the trees. They were all the same model, SAIC MAXUS V90 motorhomes, which were neither ostentatious nor lacking in practicality.

Each vehicle had the film crew's logo on its side door, dark sun-protective film on the windows to block out the outside view, uniform aluminum alloy roof racks on the roof, and folding tables hanging next to the doors—clearly a model tailor-made for the film crew's outdoor shooting.

"Three! There really are three!"

Bai Lu ran to the first car, her fingers gently tracing the delicate metallic texture on the door, her voice filled with disbelief: "This...this is for me?"

Hehe nodded vigorously, "The company said that you, Director Cat, and Teacher Li Xian will each get a car! From now on, you won't have to rush back and forth to the hotel when shooting on location. You can change clothes, do your makeup, and rest all in the car!"

Cat Tree walked to the second vehicle, opened the sliding door, peeked inside, and turned back with a smile: "Not bad, I've even managed to get into a campervan, boss is so generous!"

Bai Lu quickly opened the door of her own car, and a fresh leather scent mixed with the faint aroma of a new car wafted out.

The car isn't luxurious, but the functional areas are clearly defined, and every inch of space is used perfectly.

Behind the driver's seat is the makeup area, with a folding mirror with a ring light mounted on the wall, and a makeup table with drawers below.

In the middle is a multi-functional rest area with two light gray leather chairs that can rotate 180°. Opposite them is a foldable small table, which can be unfolded to hold scripts or food. When the chairs are laid flat and a soft cushion is added, they can be put together to form a temporary small bed, enough to curl up and rest for a while.

A changing area was separated at the rear of the vehicle by a curtain.

On the right is a built-in wardrobe, divided into upper and lower layers. The upper layer is for hanging costumes, and the lower layer is for folding everyday clothes. There is also a folding clothes rack hidden next to the wardrobe.

The left wall is equipped with hooks and a full-length mirror. By drawing the curtain, you can avoid being seen by outsiders, and you no longer have to hide in a corner to change clothes.

She twirled excitedly, her skirt brushing against the car door, and turned back to shout at Hehe, "Now I can eat instant noodles here after work! I don't have to squat by the roadside eating bread anymore!"

At this moment, Li Xian also received the message and ran over, jokingly saying, "Assistant Bai, is this RV enough? If not, just ask the boss for more!"

Bai Lu waved her hands repeatedly, unable to hide the smile on her face: "That's enough! This is even more comfortable than my bedroom!"

She leaned against the car door, looking at the RV gleaming in the sunlight, feeling a sweet warmth in her heart.

The boss is really good to her; he even arranged a campervan for her!
She's not a complete novice anymore; other companies arrange RVs based on the client's status.

Jiang Ye purchased far more than three RVs this time; he bought a total of eight.

Six of them are SAIC MAXUS V90 motorhomes, with a single vehicle costing approximately 500,000 yuan, emphasizing practicality and cost-effectiveness.

The interior layout of the vehicle takes into account rest, makeup, and storage, which perfectly meets the basic needs of the film crew during filming.

All the rising artists in the company are equipped with this car as a transitional vehicle, and even the core director has one. It is convenient and worry-free to use when running to different sets or shooting on location.

The remaining two are GMC Savana Business Stars, each priced at around 1.5 million, a common configuration for top-tier celebrities in the industry.

Yang Mi and Dilraba's RVs are this model!

Currently, only Meng Ziyi, the top female star in the company, is equipped with a motorhome of this level.

This is by no means extravagance, but rather an unspoken rule in the industry.

RVs not only protect the privacy of celebrities, but also directly reflect their status and influence.

Especially when actresses collaborate across different production teams, implicit comparisons between them are everywhere, from costumes and styling to team configurations, and even the quality of their motorhomes are subtly included in the comparison.

This is both a protection for the artists and a demonstration of the company's strength.

He's been busy with these things during his free time from filming recently.

Improve the protection system for the company's artists.

It's not just RVs; staff dormitories, agents, security, and even styling teams are all crucial for artists...
