On the second day of the opening ceremony, Ye Luohan and Luo Lingxing arrived at the film crew right on time, showing no signs of being big stars who had to be late or show off.
Everyone was secretly observing Ye Luohan. Last night, Ye Luohan left the party venue with Luo Lingxing, and everyone could tell that Ye Luohan was angry. They thought that he would come to the film set in anger today as well.
However, it seemed that Ye Luohan was in a good mood now. Although the corners of his mouth are not upturned, there is a hint of a smile in his eyes, which made everyone very curious about how Luo Lingxing coaxed Ye Luohan to turn the person in a fit of rage into the state he was in now.
Moreover, everyone admired Luo Lingxing greatly. Being able to turn the Male God of the entertainment industry into a gentle confidant and make him obedient was also a skill. As for what kind of skill it was, they couldn’t say more. Everyone knew it in their hearts.
“Now that everyone’s here, let’s begin,” Li Moru said to the crew.
Li Moru led the entire crew in a launch ceremony, followed by a press interview.
Li Moru stood in the very center, flanked by Ye Luohan and Luo Lingxing on his left and right, respectively. On Luo Lingxing’s other side was Xiao Yalun, and the rest of the group was arranged according to the amount of screen time they had.
Ye Luohan glanced at Luo Lingxing and saw Xiao Yalun smiling and talking to Luo Lingxing. The smile in his eyes vanished instantly. He then walked around Li Moru and stood awkwardly between Luo Lingxing and Xiao Yalun, a faint smile on his face, but no smile in his eyes. He said without any hesitation, “How about I switch places with you? I prefer to stay next to Luoluo.”
Li Moru looked at Ye Luohan, then at Xiao Yalun, and recalling what had happened last night, he immediately smiled and smoothed things over, saying, “Look at how senile I am! Luohan and Luoluo are a married couple, and I actually made them stand separately. That’s really inhumane. Yalun, come over here and let the young couple stand together.”
The reporters, who had initially sensed juicy gossip, were instantly energized. However, upon hearing Li Moru’s words, their enthusiasm cooled down a bit. They had hoped to glean some interesting tidbits, but since the director had already spoken, they felt embarrassed to ask too many questions.
“Director Li, why did you think of creating someone who doesn’t know martial arts as the protagonist of a martial arts drama?” “Shouldn’t the main characters usually have amazing abilities?” a reporter asked.
“Because most martial arts dramas follow similar formulas, I think everyone is probably tired of them. I wondered if I could create a completely different character that would be refreshing. So, I tried to do the opposite, and I was quite lucky. After I finished writing the story, I really liked it, so I decided to make it into a film,” Li Moru said with a smile. He had so much to say, especially when it came to his favorite scripts.
“Excuse me, Ye Luohan, this is your first time playing a supporting role. How do you feel?” another reporter asked.
Immediately, the attention of all the other reporters was drawn to this, and they all wanted to hear Ye Luohan’s thoughts.
“Luoluo is the main character, and I’m really looking forward to it,” Ye Luohan replied simply.
“So you mean that you only played a supporting role because the main character of this movie is Luo Lingxing, and you wouldn’t have played the role if the main character was someone else?” the reporter asked again.
Everyone understood the subtext in Ye Luohan’s words, but no one expected that someone would be so tactless as to bring it up in public. The other reporters all gave the reporter who asked the question a disapproving look.
He was a complete stranger, probably a newcomer. Asking such a question to an artist, especially one of Ye Luohan’s stature, could easily offend people. Ye Luohan was caught in a dilemma: answering or not answering was equally problematic. If he answered yes, he might offend many other artists. If he answered no, he would be going against his word if he refused future invitations for supporting roles. It was clearly not an easy question to answer.
However, Ye Luohan obviously didn’t think that much about it. He basically answered whatever he thought.
“Of course, my main character can only be Luoluo,” Ye Luohan replied seriously.
However, to others, these words cleverly resolved the awkwardness of the previous question, and everyone couldn’t help but praise Ye Luohan’s wit.
The reporter asked a few more questions related to the film, and then the opening ceremony was considered over.
After the interview was posted online, it attracted countless fans of the Junling and Hanxing couples, who were clamoring to be fed a mouthful of dog food (PDA).
“The Major General is always showing off his love. This kind of life, where you can eat dog food anytime and anywhere, is just too wonderful.”
“The official team is always giving out sweet moments. This is really going to kill the fanfiction community.”
“I can’t take it anymore. I’m going to bleed from cuteness! Did you see that? When the Major General said ‘My main character can only be Luoluo,’ his expression was so serious. It’s clear that the Major General meant it. It’s so sweet and cute. I feel like ever since I fell for the Jun Ling couple, I’ll never find a boyfriend again.”
“You’re not alone upstairs. Before I fell for Jun Ling, I had a boyfriend. But after I fell for them, I realized that my boyfriend was completely inadequate. He didn’t know how to be considerate, he didn’t know how to say sweet words, he didn’t know how to care for people, and most importantly, he was too much of a chauvinist. General Han’s achievements are great, but he treats Luoluo so well, he’s practically a henpecked husband. Compared to him, my boyfriend is completely unbearable.”
“I suggest the person upstairs dump their boyfriend and live alone. Anyone who looks for a boyfriend based on the standards of Major General Han can prepare to be alone for life. Of course, if you’re afraid of being alone, you can all make do and live together. You can also discuss Jun Ling with each other.”
“The idea upstairs is good. Count me in. I’m on XX planet.”
“Count me in too. I’m on CC planet.”
“High five to the previous poster. I’m also on CC planet, in VV zone.”
“I’m in the NN district. Not far away. We’ll meet up tomorrow. If we get along well, we can make do.”
“I’m so sorry, I was just speaking casually. Please don’t be impulsive. If you two really end up together, I might get hunted down by your families.” The fan who suggested that someone who couldn’t find a boyfriend should get together with someone else broke out in a cold sweat and hurriedly begged for mercy.
So, the two major ship fans chatted for a while and then veered off-topic again, but nobody cared anymore. Anyway, they would definitely go to the cinema to watch the movie many times after it was released, which had almost become a routine.
The camera then returned to the film crew. After the opening ceremony, the most important part of a film—the opening was about to begin. If the first scene went smoothly, it was considered a good omen for the entire crew.
Therefore, in order to ensure a smooth filming process, the first scene was usually filmed by the person with the best acting skills.
There were many big-name actors in ‘Hero Without Chivalry’, and many of them had good acting skills. Although Luo Lingxing’s acting skills were good, he had been in the industry for a relatively short time. Compared with other veteran actors, he was not particularly outstanding. However, Ye Luohan was definitely one of the best. In the first scene, Li Moru would definitely let Ye Luohan take the stage. Since Ye Luohan played the second male lead, he would basically have scenes with the male lead. Therefore, Luo Lingxing would inevitably have to take the stage as well.
Li Moru chose to film a rather interesting scene.
This scene depicted Zhang Shan and Zhang Shang outsmarting the notorious serial r*pister, Liu Yemei.
Liu Yemei’s name sounded like a woman’s name, but he really was a man. However, he had a unique characteristic: whenever he took a fancy to a girl or boy, he would place a golden willow leaf on that person beforehand to indicate that he had chosen that person. And everyone who received the golden willow leaf eventually fell victim to Liu Yemei’s ruthless cruelty. Therefore, Liu Yemei had a very bad reputation in the area, and he was almost universally hated as a notorious womanizer.
Zhang Shan and Zhang Shang happened to arrive in this town and heard about the notorious serial r*pist Liu Ye Mei. Zhang Shan’s chivalrous spirit surged, and he decided to rid the area of this scourge.
Zhang Shan was very handsome and likable, so he decided to take the risk and use himself as bait to lure Liu Yemei out. Since Zhang Shang was with him, he didn’t feel that he was in any danger.
This method was very effective, and Zhang Shan quickly received the golden willow leaf sent by Liu Yemei, intending he should obediently wait for Liu Yemei to come to his door.
The scene began with Zhang Shan receiving a golden willow leaf from the Willow Leaf Demon. It was a very thin willow leaf made of gold, which was very exquisite and beautiful. Under normal circumstances, it would be very popular. Unfortunately, when it became the Willow Leaf Demon’s mark for finding prey, the golden willow leaf became something that people deeply hated.
Every time the Willow Leaf Demon gave away a golden willow leaf, he would appear that same night. So, after receiving the willow leaf during the day, Zhang Shan went out shopping. His magnanimity was unmatched.
It was his first time here, so he was very interested in many things. He took Zhang Shang to buy a lot of things, and then it gradually got dark.
“I wonder what this r*pist looks like?” “We must catch him this time. Zhang Shang, quickly hide on the roof beam so you can catch him when Liu Yemei arrives,” Zhang Shan said to Zhang Shang.
Zhang Shang was taciturn and rarely spoke. He jumped directly onto the roof beam, and then suddenly heard Zhang Shan scream. He jumped down from the beam almost without pausing, looked around warily, but didn’t see anyone suspicious. He asked, “What’s wrong?”
“My golden willow leaf is gone.” Zhang Shan searched high and low, but he couldn’t find the golden willow leaf that the Willow Leaf Demon had put on him.
Zhang Shan searched for a long time but couldn’t find it. He sat down on the edge of the bed in frustration and said, “I probably lost it by accident while shopping. Sigh… This is a huge loss. Although the Golden Willow Leaf is very thin, it is still made of gold. It could have been a reward for catching the Willow Leaf Demon. But now we’ve lost it.”
Zhang Shang gave Zhang Shan a deep look, speechless, and returned to the roof beam. At the same time, the golden willow leaf that Zhang Shan had lost appeared in the hand of another strong man. The strong man was so frightened that he immediately covered his anus, fearing that the Willow Leaf Demon would appear and ravage it. He was so afraid that he didn’t dare to sleep all night.
The Willow Leaf Demon did indeed follow the golden willow leaf to the strong man’s house. However, when he saw the golden willow leaf in the strong man’s hands, his face turned pale. Even if he didn’t understand why the golden willow leaf had fallen into this man’s hands, did he still have to touch him? Killing him would be better!
Thus, Willow Leaf Demon returned empty-handed for the first time and planned to give the boy he had his eye on another golden willow leaf the following day.
The next day, news of the strong man receiving the golden willow leaf spread far and wide. Everyone immediately began to doubt the Willow Leaf Demon’s taste and judgment. The disdainful and contemptuous looks made the disguised Willow Leaf Demon grit his teeth in hatred, and he vowed to take advantage of that young man and restore his lifelong reputation.
So, Liu Yemei once again secretly placed a golden willow leaf on Zhang Shan. However, before Zhang Shan could even notice, a gust of wind blew the golden willow leaf onto another burly, shrewish, and rude widow. After receiving the golden willow leaf, the widow spread the word that the flower thief had taken a liking to her, making everyone even more suspicious of the r*pist’s judgment, and making Liu Yemei so angry that he almost vomited blood.
