Feverish actress cried after being angered by haters, but discovered the real culprit was at her bed

Zhu Yawen stared blankly at the two people talking downstairs. Lu Yan said something to Liu Yifei, which made Liu Yifei bite his shoulder.

The two seemed very close; he had never seen Liu Yifei playfully interact with a boy like this before.

Zhu Yawen seemed lost in thought, silently clenching his fists...

Inside the room, Luo Jin looked at Zhu Yawen and sighed inwardly, another young man experiencing his first love was heartbroken.

The reason he pointed out the relationship between Lu Yan and Liu Yifei was not to make Zhu Yawen look bad, but simply to make Zhu Yawen face the facts and stop indulging in pointless fantasies.

Even without Lu Yan, Lao Zhu and Liu Yifei would not have succeeded, and there is actually another reason.

Pan Yutong, a female classmate, liked Lao Zhu, which was no secret in the class.

Luo Jin felt that Pan Yutong was the right person for Zhu Yawen, so he called Zhu Yawen up today to see her, hoping to bring Pan Yutong and Zhu Yawen together.

Hopefully, Lao Zhu can understand his good intentions.

Luo Jin suddenly felt like he couldn't even move around the dormitory without him. He had to keep an eye on Liu Xiaojian to prevent him from causing trouble, help Lu Yan keep secrets, and worry about his sons' love lives. Sigh, it was really too difficult.

When will his love come?

......

A week later, Lu Yan and Liu Yifei set off to join the film crew.

The filming locations for the Legend of Sword and Fairy series were mainly in Zhejiang Province, with most of the filming taking place in Hengdian World Studios.

Their first destination was Fairy Island, the place where their dream began.

When Liu Yifei went out to film, her mother naturally accompanied her the whole time. So even though Lu Yan and Liu Yifei were in the same car, they basically had no chance to communicate because someone was watching them intently.

Lu Yan didn't seem to mind, but Liu Yifei was really frustrated and kept sending Lu Yan text messages on her phone.

Even though we were sitting on the same bus, face to face, we still needed to use our phones to communicate. After a day's journey, we took advantage of the rest stop where everyone got off to rest.

Liu Yifei leaned close to Lu Yan and handed him a camera. She had bought it for him as a gift. Their first stop was Fairy Island, a great place for taking beautiful photos. Wouldn't it be a waste not to take some pictures to commemorate the occasion?

Holding the old D70, Lu Yan was reminded of long-lost memories of bird photography. Not bad, it's a telephoto lens with a large aperture, perfect for bird photography.

"Liu, can you flap your wings?"

Liu Yifei: "?"

.....

After two days, the crew arrived in Jinyun, Lishui, Zhejiang Province, where the most important outdoor scene of the Legend of Sword and Fairy, Fairy Spirit Island, was filmed.

In fact, not only Fairy Spirit Island, but also the scenes of Shu Mountain sword riding and the scenes related to Jiang Ming, Nu Yuan, Qing'er and the Sword Saint in the drama were all filmed here.

This is a 5A scenic area. The entire filming location for Xianling Island is within the Dinghu Peak area, and hotels and other facilities are also located on the island.

  

On his first visit to the island, Lu Yan saw a peach orchard in the distance, which Cai Yinong told him was the Sacred Tree Forest.

That evening, Lu Yan and Liu Yifei secretly went to Shenmu Forest to take photos. There were also many staff members setting up the venue.

It's springtime, and the peach blossoms haven't bloomed yet.

In order to film the peach blossom forest on Fairy Spirit Island, the production team brought in real flowers to create an artificial camouflage, aiming to build a sacred forest of "peach blossoms in full bloom".

Because the script was written as filming progressed, a reading of the new script was conducted every day after filming wrapped.

On the first day on the island, the director organized a reading session, where Lu Yan met all the core actors.

Peng Yu-yan, Hu Ge, An Yi-xuan, Liu Pin-yan, and veteran Hong Kong star Xu Jin-jiang, who plays the leader of the Moon Worship Cult.

That's the guy who got beaten up for saying the Earth is round.

Tangren's core team itself came from Hong Kong Island. Both Li Guoli and Cai Yinong started out in the Hong Kong entertainment circle.

It's perfectly normal to use people from that region; in fact, Tangren Media currently has well-known artists from Hong Kong among its contracted actors.

Actors like Kwok Kam-On, Esther Kwan, and Cheung Sin are from TVB, but they are not under agency contracts; they are represented by agents.

It's essentially still part of TVB, just with some cooperation from here.

Therefore, it's not surprising at all that Xu Jinjiang appeared in Tangren's production crew.

It's worth mentioning that Lu Yan took the role of the Sword Immortal.

However, Xie Junhao still joined the crew, but this time his role was the Sword Saint, and Lu Yan never got a chance to ask for an autograph.

That's right, he's a fan of Xie Junhao, and "The Thirteen Heroes of the South China Sea" has always been a masterpiece in his mind.

It surpasses "Farewell My Concubine".

After the reading session ended, everyone left and dispersed. The production staff continued their work and preparations. Seeing that everyone was young, Liu Xiaoli wisely left on her own, giving her daughter a chance to integrate into the new environment.

The young actors, including Lu Yan, went back to the hotel together, since they would be spending another two or three months together and needed to get to know each other better.

Lu Yan secretly observed these familiar yet unfamiliar faces; they were all "old acquaintances."

An Yi-Hsuan just rose to fame last year through "The Outsiders," becoming the leading lady of Taiwanese dramas and currently enjoying a career upswing.

Peng Yuyan had just finished filming the TV series "Love Fragrance" with Pinru (Choo Ja-hyun) last year, but he really gained popularity in mainland China for his role as Tang Yu Xiaobao in "Chinese Paladin".

Liu Pinyan needs no introduction; she's even younger than Liu Yifei, only 16, and a cute little sister.

The actor with the highest future achievements is actually the least famous now, still studying at the Shanghai Theatre Academy. He has only acted in some minor roles before, and this is his first time making his screen debut.

I heard that he originally came to audition for the supporting role of Jiang's Orphan with a friend, but by chance he became Li Xiaoyao. He was still young and had not experienced the car accident, so he was very cheerful.

Along the way, everyone chatted and laughed. Lu Yan and Liu Yifei stood together, occasionally saying a few words, but mostly listening to others.

Everyone else noticed the pair and, after some questioning, learned that they were classmates, which surprised them greatly.

Of all the people here, the two most popular are these two: one is a film actor with two award-winning works and has also produced a hugely successful commercial film.

One is a popular actress who has starred in many hit works.

It's unbelievable that the two were classmates and even acted together after graduation.

.......

The crew officially started filming early the next morning.

Everything seemed to be getting back on track, but the bonds between crew members were never easy to maintain.

It was dull and tasteless, but compared to the others, Lu Yan was incredibly relaxed; he had the fewest scenes among the main actors.

While others were putting on a show and acting, he would pretend to be reading the script and slack off, and sometimes he would even openly sleep on set.

Actually, when he wasn't filming, he could have gone back to the hotel to rest, but he chose to stay on set with Liu Yifei.

As soon as filming started, it was immediately clear who the newcomers were. The worst performer was Hu Ge, who had no experience whatsoever. Li Guoli, although not a tyrant on set like Huo Jianqi, was also a good choice.

However, he has high standards for the quality of his work and is very particular about acting skills. Since Hu Ge is a newcomer, he is more likely to make mistakes when he is nervous.

This resulted in a lot of retakes and frequent scoldings. Apart from Lu Yan, no one on set escaped being scolded.

Lu Yan, with his skills maxed out, always nailed a scene in one take, giving the director no chance to improvise. Li Guoli was very satisfied with this, looking at Lu Yan as if he were a prodigy from a sect, always with a smile on his face.

Put yourself in the director's shoes. Imagine you're facing a group of young people, and they take dozens of takes of the same scene.

Aren't you annoyed?

Then there was an outlier among the young people, whose acting skills were so good that he didn't need any guidance at all.

I can't give them a bad attitude.

Liu Xiaoli was also on set watching, but she didn't interact much with Lu Yan, mainly because Lu Yan intentionally avoided her to avoid awkwardness.

But he didn't know that Liu Xiaoli had been watching him all along. Recently, Liu Xiaoli had been thinking about a question, a question she had already rejected.

It's about the relationship between her daughter and Lu Yan. Although Liu Yifei had previously denied any relationship with Lu Yan, Liu Xiaoli felt something was off when she saw the two interacting on set.

They're being a little too intimate.

Liu Xiaoli's suspicions deepened day by day. Finally, one day, back at the hotel, before going to bed, Liu Xiaoli grabbed her daughter as she came out of the bathroom.

He sat on the edge of the bed and patted the bed, gesturing for Liu Yifei to sit down.

"Sisi, Mom has something to ask you."

"What's wrong, Mom?"

Liu Yifei removed the face mask and patted the remaining essence into her skin. Liu Xiaoli hesitated for a moment, then asked somewhat conflictedly, "Qianqian, you and Lu Yan... you're really not dating?"

"Mom, why are you here again...?"

Liu Yifei stopped moving, her hair stood on end, and a hint of panic flashed in her eyes.

It seems I've been too relaxed on set lately, which has aroused my mother's suspicions again. What should I do? If this continues, I'll be exposed sooner or later.

Liu Xiaoli knew that asking the same question over and over again would annoy people, but she just had a strange feeling in her heart that she couldn't shake off.

At that moment, a thought flashed through Liu Yifei's mind. She turned around, grabbed Liu Xiaoli's hand, and looked at her with some hesitation.

"Mom...actually...well, never mind, I'd better not tell you. I promised Lu Yan I'd keep it a secret."

Liu Xiaoli was taken aback. Originally, it was nothing, but Liu Yifei's words made her itchy with curiosity. Gossip is every woman's nature.

She pressed for answers, and Liu Yifei was very conflicted. In the end, she "really" couldn't resist the persistent pleading.

"Mom, I'm only telling you this, you can't tell anyone else, okay?"

"Mom promises you."

Liu Yifei once again displayed the essence of her acting skills, conveying three parts guilt and two parts melancholy: "If you hadn't been overthinking things, I really wouldn't have wanted to talk to you..."

"Actually...actually, Lu Yan...he's gay!"

Liu Xiaoli: "!!!"
