A Walk-on Actor Who Wants to Be A Baker

Chapter 24 - Hand in hand!



Chapter 24: Hand in hand!

Translator: Flying Lines

How did Fang Qiao go to the filming site in the past?

If it were a walk-on role within the city, he would go there by driving or by subway, while if it were a role in other places, he would take a plane first, and then take subway.

He was a diligent and thrifty young man anyway.

But today was different. With Lu, the big boss, accompanying him, they were given a warm welcome by the crew receptionists as soon as they got off the plane.

With security guards clearing the way, and a couple of special cars waiting outside, he virtually received the treatment for A-list stars.

The good young guy adapted to the extravagance and waste of capitalism immediately, and followed Lu obediently, feeling the figure of Lu was both tall and outstanding.

Having put away his luggage in the hotel, Fang followed Lu to the filming site at once to report his arrival. When they got there, a fight scene was being shot with two figures of white and black respectively hung in the air, and the handsome man in white was just the hero, Ye Ran.

The movie king-Ye was famous for his dedication to work in the entertainment circle, and he would pitch into the fight scenes in person, and basically didn’t use a stand-in.

It was the first time for Fang to see Ye Ran acting at close range. Fang’s eyes got brightened. Being in good fettle and shape, Ye was simply the perfect dream guy in Fang’s heart.

The performance of the movie king was perfect without a second time shooting of course. Ye Ran descended from the hanging wire slowly. Probably because Ye had been hung for quite a while, he lost his balance, and staggered when getting down to the ground.

The landing point was very close to where Fang Qiao stood. Fang was thinking to give a hand, but someone beside him rushed up to protect Ye Ran before he could reach out.

Fang looked fixedly, and found it was Lu Yanzhou.

Last time, Lu and Ye had parted in discord because of the role-replacing matter. So today when they met each other again, the atmosphere between them was quite subtle. When their eyes met, Lu didn’t know where to put his hands which were holding Ye.

Fang didn’t know the ropes, so in his eyes, it was a scene of two old lovers meeting with each other with their eyes full of tender affection and love.

Such a shameless Lu Yanzhou! Lu got fresh with his dream guy in broad daylight. Fang came up angrily, and took Lu’s hands away from Ye’s arms. Besides, Fang cast a glare at Lu.

Having been glared at, Lu’s mind got clear. So he took the chance to hold Fang’s hand at once like nothing had happened. Then putting on airs, he took Fang to meet the director team and the scriptwriter.

Getting stiff all over, Fang lowered his head to look at his hand being held by Lu, and he felt uncomfortable suddenly.

He had never held hands with Lu before. Lu’s hand felt a bit cold, so definitely he didn’t wear the long johns he had bought for him.

Fang missed the key point. He completely forgot to think why he didn’t allow Lu to hold Ye’s hand, but on the contrary why it was OK to hold his.

Although the crew had known clearly Fang was an insignificant actor who had come because of some backroom deals, they still couldn’t help gasping when they saw the two holding hands in high-profile on the spot. So sweet!

So everyone was friendly to Fang. They just kept smiling, and praised the boss Lu and the director Xu for their clever selection of the actor.

Since it was the first day to join the group, Fang didn’t have any scene arranged for him. Led by the crew, Fang spent the whole afternoon learning and observing on the set. After knocking off, he was called by the director and the scriptwriter to have a talk, sharing his understanding on the role.

As an actor playing walk-on roles without solid training, it was the first time for Fang to play a role with many scenes. So how could he get any understanding! It was already quite good for him to recite the lines. He had to brace himself to give some plain views.

The Director Xu had got some mental preparation, so he was not very disappointed. Seeing that Fang was serious in manner, the director offered a series of instructions patiently, starting from the most basic part of acting.

Being the visiting professor of a film academy, Director Xu was quite good at giving a lecture, and couldn’t stop at all. His lecture lasted until the night when almost all people on the set had gone, and only Tao was waiting outside while playing on his phone.

On the way back to the hotel, Fang suddenly realized Lu had disappeared from the afternoon, so he asked Tao, “Do you know where is your cousin?”

“He left with the movie king Ye.” Focusing his concentration on retouching photos on the phone, Tao replied without even raising his head.

Fang was suddenly enlightened! No wonder Lu had insisted on accompanying him to the filming site. It turned out that Lu had other intention.

Having realized the truth, Fang patted himself on the head. He even pulled Lu’s hand off Ye’s body on the set, which was so stupid.

Fang had no idea where they had gone in the evening. Since the boss was good at saying sweet words, Fang didn’t know whether Ye would get obsessed, and the two just restored their old flame. If so, Lu was just too lucky! As a bad guy with profligate private life, Lu could go so far as to attract the dream man. Fang felt pity for Ye at the mere thought of the possibility.

Imagining the scene all the way, Fang got slightly restless. As soon as he arrived at the hotel, he walked straight to the door of Lu’s room out of no reason.

He persuaded himself this way. If the two really fell in love, then his days of being kept as a lover came to an end too. If so, he had to ask for some money from Lu.

With this thought, Fang mustered up his courage to press the doorbell.

However, there was no response after quite a while. Fang got flustered in an instant. The two might be having sex passionately after being reconciled. Having come to disturb them without careful consideration, he would be punished severely.

Just when Fang was about to leave in dejection, the door was open. Lu, who had just taken a bath, stood at the door with his upper body naked and the lower body only wrapped by a bath towel.

Fang craned his neck and peered into the room. Being puzzled, Lu pressed his head. “What’s up?”

“…I want to see what a presidential suite looks like?” Fang blinked and talked nonsense.

Lu opened the door wider. “Come in and have a look.”

Fang went in and didn’t find anybody else in the room, feeling relieved at once.

The sound of lighting a cigarette came from behind. Fang turned around to look at Lu, who was standing by a table with his hair still wet. The water dropped, and flowed along Lu’s well-carved abdominal muscle to the position where the towel was.

Fang couldn’t help swallowing saliva. So sexy!
