Chapter 176: “Because I Like You.” (2)Translator: Guy Gone Bad

Li Yue, who finally learned the truth, was in agony. Under the circumstance that the law could not sentence this reporter, he chose to avenge for his wife himself.

“Ge, please contact the director for me,” Yu Qinghuan read Revenge rapidly and said to Yu Xin, “I want to take this.”

“What’s so good about this? Why do you all like it?” Yu Xin mumbled in wonder, hesitating to take over the script.

“Who else has a crush on it?” Yu Qinghuan didn’t understand what he meant and asked.

“No one, I was just saying it.” Yu Xin didn’t want him to know about Cen Feng’s recommendation, for fear Qinghuan would think too much. He didn’t tell the truth and left in a hurry.

The director of Revenge was Sun Wu. He was an ‘evergreen’ in the entertainment circle and had a very detached position. In recent years, he was getting old and had seldom made movies. No one knew why he should film such an obscure movie.

Yu Xin had never succeeded in convincing Yu Qinghuan. What’s more, Revenge was recommended both by Cen Feng and Huo Rong, so he could only go to contact Sun Wu.

The two sides negotiated for a while, and finally, Yu Qinghuan promised to star in Revenge for 24 million yuan.

Soon after Yu Qinghuan signed the movie, The Line of Life and Death also entered its final screening day, with a total box office of 6.1 billion yuan, topping the box office of all Hua Country films.

Liu Jia’an, a person who rarely posted, was so happy to release three Weibo in sequence. In addition, he invited everyone in the film crew, saying he would invite them to dinner and deliver big red packets.

Actors had very little free time, so it was difficult for a film crew to get together after filming and then having dinner. Therefore, Liu Jia’an asked Yu Qinghuan to confirm their free time first, then reported it to him, so he could coordinate the time.

At the right moment, Yu Qinghuan had just finished an important filming task. His schedule was not tight. After thinking for a while, he took out the phone and called Zhao Qingyuan, asking him when he could make time, so they could go together.

Zhao Qingyuan recently took a public service advertisement about firefighting from the National Television. When Yu Qinghuan called him, he was ‘stealing’ food from the filming site to relieve his hunger without anyone noticing.

The next scene he was going to shoot was sitting at home eating with his family members, while the ruthless fire suddenly came unexpectedly.

The props team had already placed the food in advance in the filming scene, only waiting for testing the props, and then started filming.

Zhao Qingyuan was prone to obesity, plus he ate too much some time ago. Recently, he was compelled by his agent to lose weight, so he failed to control his mouth seeing delicious food.

Watching everyone was busy with their own stuff, he ate one mouthful after another.

He didn’t know if it was his illusion. Zhao Qingyuan felt that after eating, he was all hot up, like being roasted on fire!

He couldn’t help fanning with his hand. When he did like this, a thick smoke came suddenly and almost choked him to death.

The props team was a bit too dedicated. Even the smoke was so lifelike. He was thinking about it when he heard someone was shouting outside.

“Everyone! Fire! Fire…”

“Be quick! Put out the fire!”

This was not right. He didn’t even go out. Why did these people start shouting lines in advance?

Zhao Qingyuan grabbed his hair in doubt, looked at the chopsticks in his hand, trying to eat a few more in a hurry. At that time, his phone suddenly whooped with vibration, he took it out. It was Yu Qinghuan, so he hurriedly pressed the answer key, “Qinghuan.”

“Have you known about Director Liu’s party? When are you going?”

“When… Ahem, ahem,” he coughed before finishing speaking during the dense black smoke.

“Are you all right?” Yu Qinghuan asked with concern, “Have you caught a cold?”

“No,” Zhao Qingyuan said, “I was preparing to film the scene of the fire hazard. The props team made the smoke so lifelike, it almost choked me to death.” He went to the door and planned to find a quiet place to have a good talk with Yu Qinghuan.

The moment he held the door handle, he nearly jumped up due to scalding.

“Holy crap! Why is it so burning hot!” He hissed, endured the pain, opened the door and ran out.

Then, he saw outside, all the busy crew members suddenly stopped their actions, staring at him with a pair of unbelieving eyes, then…

“Mr. Zhao, why are you inside? The props just caught fire!”

“Mr. Zhao, have you had any burns? Well, fortunately, we tried the props in advance.”

“Mr. Zhao, did you go inside to practice the play? You are really dedicated.”

…

Zhao Qingyuan, “…”

So, that was a real fire?

The group dragged Zhao Qingyuan, who was stunned with a dumb face, into the lounge. After they checked him from top to bottom, finding no injuries on him, they breathed a sigh of relief.

Although the fire was not big, the actor’s health was everything and must not be in danger. When Zhao Qingyuan was found coming out of the fire, they were almost scared to urinate.

Zhao Qingyuan didn’t hang up, so Yu Qinghuan heard what was happening.

“Qingyuan, I’ll send you some almonds and walnuts.” Yu Qinghuan sighed helplessly, “You really need to nourish your brain.” He paused and said incredulously, “How stupid are you to think a real fire a rehearsal?”

“That, that’s a coincidence.” Zhao Qingyuan argued irrationally, “It’s not my fault. You can’t anticipated that, either.”

Yu Qinghuan didn’t bother to listen to his sophistry. After agreeing with him on the time for the dinner, he bought 20 kilos of almonds and walnuts online and sent them to him.

It was not a small thing that the filming scene of National Television’s public service advertisement got a fire. The director wanted to keep the news sealed, but on second thought, it was just in line with their theme of paying attention to the fire hazard, so he let the news flow out.

No one had expected Zhao Qingyuan to be so stupid as to be unable to distinguish between the real fire and a rehearsal, so the media beautified Zhao Qingyuan’s image when describing the incident. They said he immersed in practicing his part and did not even notice the fire on the filming site. If Yu Qinghuan hadn’t called, what would have happened was hard to image.

These days, any star with a bit of fame would more or less strike an attitude, finding various excuses to use body double.

With Zhao Qingyuan’s status, he made a public service advertisement, taking little income and having no hesitation to take a risk. What a model in the industry!

After this incident, Zhao Qingyuan’s popularity rose to its zenith in an instant. Many people followed his Weibo, praised him as a rare celebrity with positive influence in the entertainment circle. Not only that, Yu Qinghuan’s fame also grew because of a phone call.

Of all the people present, none knew Zhao Qingyuan was inside. But Yu Qinghuan, a person who was absent from the scene, freed Zhao Qingyuan from danger with just one phone call.

He was truly a living koi!
