Chapter 217: Chapter 217: Yes, Almost Crashing

It was past one in the morning by the time Bo Yan left Yuran’s room, covered by Annan. As soon as Bo Yan left, Annan turned around and eyed Yuran critically. Yuran was stunned for a moment and then said, "Why are you looking at me like that? If you have something to say, just say it."

Annan, clutching a pillow and sitting opposite Yuran, asked seemingly casually but with intense seriousness, "As your agent, I think I have the right to know about your relationship with the ’Great Actor’ Bo Yan. It will help me handle the media and fans in the future."

"I didn’t mean to hide it from you," Yuran explained first.

Annan initially felt surprised, then purely puzzled; she harbored no blame for Yuran keeping secrets. Seeing Yuran apologizing, she laughed, "Why are you acting like a kid who made a mistake, waiting to be forgiven?

"I’m not blaming you. There must be reasons you chose not to tell me, which I don’t intend to probe deeply into. If you don’t want to talk about it, you must have your considerations.

"But, I’m learning how to be an agent and I need experience, so let’s start with you! Okay?"

Yuran nodded, "Alright, I’ve known Bo Yan for a long time, since before his debut. I grew up in his family’s home."

Annan’s pillow fell to the floor as she stared at Yuran, dumbfounded.

"Childhood sweethearts?"

Yuran waved her hand, "Not really. Bo Yan didn’t like me at all at first. I don’t know what changed, but then he started to see me in a good light, and our relationship gradually improved."

"And then?"

Yuran looked into Annan’s eyes, smiling, "An’an, you need to be prepared for all the issues after this comes to light because the impact might be quite big. You should start precautions from now on."

With a bad premonition, Annan looked at her, earnest as can be, and suppressed her swirling thoughts, "I’m ready. Tell me."

"Bo Yan and I will eventually date. Whether it’s sooner or later, you need to manage the information bomb effectively to minimize the impact."

Bo Yan and I will eventually date.

That sentence sounded like a relentless echo in her ears.

It kept swirling in Annan’s mind, buzzing loudly.

She almost jumped off the couch, "No way, what’s the use of me being prepared now for you two dating? With Bo Yan’s popularity, do you think mere suppression of news will keep it under wraps? You’re really bold, dating a superstar."

"Now, that’s not fair. Shouldn’t a superstar be allowed to date?"

Annan, "A relationship means unemployment. Isn’t he worried?""

Yuran shook her head, confidently telling Annan, "He won’t worry."

"That makes sense!" Annan nodded understandingly, "With all his wealth, why would he worry about unemployment? But aren’t you worried about losing your job? Dating the ’Great Actor’ Bo Yan, just thinking about it... is thrilling."

Yuran: "..."

...

"Glory and You, Both Undeserved" officially began shooting.

The supporting actors who came here were almost all here to cameo as friends of Tang Wan and Xuan Che during the month the two secluded themselves in Marseille; the encounters were all with old friends, and life went at a leisurely pace.

Dressed in a cheongsam that highlighted her shapely figure, Yuran had just finished discussing the film with Xuan Ze, who then pointed her to her spot.

"Though you’ve never learned this, you definitely need to stay within my camera frame instinctively. You don’t need to be very good at positioning yourself; Bo Yan will give you some guidance," he told her.

"Sure!"

The clapper loader announced, "’Glory and You, Unbetrayed,’ Scene 319, Action..."

The cinematographer, lighting crew, and assistant director were all in place. Xuan Ze sat in front of the monitor, holding a megaphone, his gaze fixed on the screen.

The manor’s gate opened.

Taking the lead in front of the camera was Xuan Che, dressed in a shirt and trousers. He had just taken a step when Tang Wan’s voice came from behind. She hurried out, Xuan Che’s coat hanging from her arm.

As she approached, she wrapped her arm around Xuan Che’s, her eyes filled with tenderness, "You forgot your coat, remember to come back early?"

With that, she tiptoed and planted a kiss on Bo Yan’s face.

Although it was clearly acting, the moment their eyes met, an ambiguous air spread between them, elevating the atmosphere to just the right place. The scene on the monitor looked very good, and Xuan Ze did not know if Bo Yan had cued Yuran on her positioning.

But Yuran had even conceived the editing cuts.

It seemed Bo Yan was pacing his scene to match Yuran’s rhythm, swiftly completing the shot in one take.

What does one film in a romance movie?

It’s all about the atmosphere and the shared experiences conveyed through gazes—undeniably, both were adept at understanding and effortlessly controlling their performance.

During the auditions, Xuan Ze was very pleased with Yuran. After the official shooting started, he was equally satisfied with Yuran’s efficiency.

Austin couldn’t help but remark, "This Yuran seems more like a seasoned actor than a newcomer."

Xuan Ze deeply agreed.

The original plan was to shoot in Marseille for half a month, but they wrapped up in just ten days.

Bo Yan was given seven days originally, but everything was wrapped up in four. Xuan Ze, having seen much of the world and collaborated with numerous seasoned actors and international stars, found Yuran...

Under Bo Yan’s shine, seemed to not be completely overshadowed, although Bo Yan did dominate a few scenes, he remained true to his intentions.

By the fifth day, Xie Cheng was urging Bo Yan to leave, but Bo Yan stood firm, suggesting he might as well take a vacation until Yuran’s scenes were also finished.

...

In Marseille, another incident occurred—Zhen Ni personally came to apologize the day after Bo Yan’s official blog post, but Bo Yan denied her entry. Initially, Zhen Ni was somewhat mindful of her image, but as Bo Yan showed no courtesy, she started cursing, albeit under her breath, which Xie Cheng heard loud and clear. She accused Bo Yan of having no shame and abusing his status to bully a lesser-known artist.

Hearing this, Bo Yan simply responded indifferently, suggesting she hadn’t truly experienced being bullied.

Thus, when Bo Yan acted with others, he completely outperformed them, his presence so commanding that it became nearly impossible for them to continue. Luckily, she only had three shots, which she sobbed through, and left on the third day.

Watching Bo Yan’s maneuvers, Xie Cheng was at a loss for words, advising, "If you continue this way, you might ruin your late career, try it."

Bo Yan was unconcerned, remarking that only the weak worry about ruining their late career. He posed a question to Xie Cheng, "Should I, being strong, compromise myself? Is that what you mean?"

Xie Cheng had no response.

Indeed, as a movie star, was it right to yield to petty stars looking for trouble? There was no such rule. Moreover, their artist was clearly not one to suffer losses lightly, expecting him to reflect was too naive.

This incident spread through the crew, and although everyone could see that Bo Yan was perhaps overshadowing others, they didn’t feel sorry for Zhen Ni.
