HuaYu: Starting with Photography to Navigate the Entertainment Industry

Being a couple on set is something no one in the entertainment industry admits to, but everyone knows about it.

A film crew can be locked down for two or three months at a time, and both male and female actors are already a group where ambiguous relationships are more likely to occur.

They had nowhere to release their energy and desires, so after filming during the day, they would get intimate at night, like a couple temporarily formed together.

In fact, such incidents have become so common that the parties involved no longer try to hide them.

Liu Yifei and An Yixuan certainly knew about this.

But soon, their expressions changed.

"There are only three female leads in this production: the two of us and Sister Tao!"

"Could that sound be coming from Sister Tao?"

Then... the one with Sister Tao, isn't that Xu Lang?!

"This guy, why isn't he ever idle? Is he a reincarnated teddy bear?!"

"Don't they know how to avoid people? Sigh!"

Since the last time it was exposed online, it not only didn't affect Xu Lang much, but he also gained the reputation of being "charming but not vulgar" and "deeply affectionate but not promiscuous".

This made Xu Lang even more unscrupulous.

"Otherwise, how could I live up to the word 'romantic'?"

Although he was thinking this, Xu Lang felt a mix of nervousness and excitement.

This isn't a house made of reinforced concrete, but a tent. Although it's thick enough, the sound insulation is really poor.

In less than an hour, while Xu Lang charged forward with all his might, he was also silently counting in his mind.

"The fifth person has passed by outside!"

He could hear the footsteps outside, so how could the people outside not hear the "goose cawing" inside?

"Holy crap, this is so embarrassing, but...so exciting!"

Looking at Liu Tao, whose face was flushed and whose mind was in a daze, Xu Lang was filled with admiration for this "tent goddess".

"Sister Bai really knows how to have fun!"

When it was time for dinner, Xu Lang finally came out of the tent, got his food, and was about to find a place to eat when Liu Hongtao waved to him.

"Coach Xu, come eat here with us."

"OK."

Xu Lang brought over the food, and the two ate while talking about things on set.

Soon, the meal was finished. As Xu Lang was about to leave, Liu Hongtao called him back, speaking somewhat hesitantly.

"Um, Coach Xu, next time... could you... keep your voice down? It's making everyone uneasy."

"Well..."

Even with his thick skin, Xu Lang blushed at this moment.

"Haha, I know, I'll be careful."

Xu Lang chuckled and left, but soon there was another commotion outside. Liu Hongtao went outside and saw many staff members walking towards Liu Tao's tent.

"Xiao Liu, what happened?"

"Sister Tao said she wanted to move the tent, and that it was a bit cold in the tent, so she just asked the staff to add some soundproof and warm pads."

"Uh...it seems these two are really determined."

However, since the other party was willing to cooperate and it didn't bother anyone else, Liu Hongtao was satisfied.

"Hmm, have the production manager find us more mats, especially soundproof ones, cover them all on all sides."

Liu Hongtao did this for his own benefit, after all, that scream was too enchanting.

Filming for "Painted Skin" began in this atmosphere.

Xu Lang was extremely busy every day. During the day, he had to follow the staff to build the outdoor sets, and at night he had to talk about the script, plot, and storyboards with Chen Jiashang and others.

After several busy days, Xu Lang originally planned to go to Liu Yifei to relax.

As a result, when they got to Liu Yifei's room, they chatted and laughed without any problems, but as soon as Xu Lang tried to make any advances, Liu Yifei firmly refused.

"Relatives are visiting, so it's inconvenient."

After hearing what Liu Yifei said, Xu Lang believed her and stopped pestering her.

But the next day, Xu Lang noticed something was wrong.

Relatives came to visit, and they were eating ice water and ice cubes with great gusto.

Watching Liu Yifei eat ice cubes, Xu Lang couldn't help but wonder what was going on in his mind.

"What's wrong with this girl? Wasn't she quite enthusiastic about exercising before?"

But Xu Lang didn't want to force anyone, and he was also a bit of a chauvinist, so he wouldn't ask about such things.

Anyway, he still has Liu Tao and An Yixuan.

Speaking of An Yixuan, Xu Lang was pleasantly surprised.

At first, Xu Lang tried to comfort An Yixuan according to the principle of sharing kindness equally, but the girl made excuses and only spoke up at the very end.

"Xu Lang, this won't work, it's not soundproof."

After saying that, she straightened her clothes, picked up a bag, and took Xu Lang's hand, saying...

"Come on, I'll take you to a nice place."

Afterwards, An Yixuan pulled Xu Lang into the Populus euphratica forest.

The forest is exceptionally quiet and the scenery is absolutely stunning.

Soon, An Yixuan pointed to a huge rock under a large tree and said excitedly:

"Xu Lang, what do you think of this place? It's so beautiful!"

"Well..."

Looking at the flat boulder under the tree, and recalling the cushion and other items An Yixuan had brought in his bag, Xu Lang immediately understood An Yixuan's meaning.

"Sister An, it has to be you!"

Xu Lang touched the boulder; it was very clean.

"Have you tidied up this place already?"

Where?

An Yixuan blushed and took out a mat to spread on it. "I just think this place is perfect for camping and picnicking. Sitting here looking at the poplar forest and listening to the rustling of the wind through the trees, it would feel so good."

As he spoke, An Yixuan lay down on the boulder, stretching out his body as if he wanted to become one with the poplar forest.

However, her gradually flushed face betrayed her true thoughts.

Xu Lang was never one to spoil the mood, so how could he refuse something like this?

Then, he leaned against the big tree and sat on the boulder, holding An Yixuan in his arms, kissing her ear affectionately as they murmured to each other.

Soon, passion overwhelmed their reason.

Moreover, Xu Lang also discovered that An Yixuan had indeed come prepared. She lifted her skirt and sat on Xu Lang's lap, without even wearing her underwear.

"Well..."

Xu Lang was truly moved by her meticulous preparations, and he hugged An Yixuan tightly, kissing her passionately.

Afterward, the two became completely immersed in the rhythmic poplar forest.

As evening approached, on their way back, An Yixuan, whose desire had subsided, clung to Xu Lang's arm, but his mind was preoccupied with something.

That was half a month ago, when Xu Lang's online crisis erupted.

Li Xueyue from Huayi was having dinner with An Yixuan when a remark from Li Xueyue struck An Yixuan particularly hard.

"Xuanxuan, think about it, what benefits have you gotten from following Xu Lang?"

You were the third female lead in "The Little Fish and the Flower Without Flaws" and also the third female lead in "Painted Skin".

With your looks and qualifications, are you content to play supporting roles your whole life?

Also, don't you think about it? Xu Lang has so many actresses, like Liu Yifei, Liu Tao, and Yang Mi, all aiming for leading lady roles.

How can you possibly get the lead role if you don't fight for it?

Li Xue's words made An Yixuan feel depressed.

Although she knew that Li Xue was trying to poach her and that her words were meant to sow discord between her and Xu Lang, she had to admit that what Li Xue said made sense.

An Yixuan had wanted to talk to Xu Lang about this for a long time.

Now, it's just Xu Lang and her, having just finished their passionate encounter, right here in this beautiful poplar forest.

This is a perfect opportunity.

After a long pause, An Yixuan finally spoke softly:

"Xu Lang, when are you going to arrange a role for me as the female lead?"
