After Entering a Book, He Just Wants to be a Flower Vase

Chu Yinlong could naturally see that Jiang Dao’s bones should be fine. In the past, if an actor screamed in pain because of such a minor injury, he would scoff at it.

But rational judgment is one thing, and the stuck feeling in his heart when looking at a wound is another.

At this time, the assistant’s call came in. Chu Yinlong picked it up: “Figured it out?”

The assistant replied: “I asked, he has no background, and is not a black fan of Jiang Dao. His parents have been divorced for many years, and should be very sensitive to extramarital affairs and illegitimate children after his family broke up in his childhood.”

After a moment of silence, Chu Yinlong said, “Got it. Find a new stunt actor as soon as possible; it’s best not to delay the shooting.”

Hanging up the phone, Chu Yinlong looked at Jiang Dao.

“Sorry, I won’t let you encounter this kind of thing again.” He said seriously. “Don’t worry too much, after all, such people are a minority. Most people won’t… be so extreme.”

Jiang Dao smiled and shook his head. “I’m not worried.”

He wasn’t afraid of being bullied. If he had just crossed over and hadn’t completely suppressed his anger, he wouldn’t have thought about finishing the shot, and would have fought back as soon as possible. Even just now, if Chu Yinlong hadn’t blocked it, the other party would have been hurt more than him.

He just didn’t expect that the identity of an illegitimate child could make others hate him to such an extent.

His thinking was too simple before. Different worlds, different customs and philosophies… can no longer judge things based on the rules he learned from the end of the world. He didn’t pay too much attention when he checked his own background before, but now it seems… when filming is over, he will have to work harder.

However, his first task is to finish filming first, and consider things afterwards.

The two didn’t say much before Chu Yinlong was called away by the stylist to do makeup for his last-minute shooting.

Seeing that Chu Yinlong was gone, Jing Yu moved to Jiang Dao’s side and sat down on the chair beside him.

“Is your arm okay?” He asked with concern. “In my eyes, that man kicked hard and also NG-ed a few times. No wonder even Teacher Chu can’t stand it anymore.”

He showed him the bruises.

Jing Yu hissed: “That injury is too severe, it’s all blue!”

“Severe?” Jiang Dao wanted to laugh. “You call this a severe injury?”

This kind of bruise can’t even be called an “injury” on the battlefield. It’s easy to bump into things at home and get a bruise. How did a simple bruise become a serious injury on the set?

Jing Yu was puzzled: “Isn’t this serious?”

At the end, who knew what he thought as he sighed again: “That’s right, I guess it’s not a serious injury in Teacher Chu’s opinion. If you ask for leave because of this, he might even scold you…”

As Jing Yu was talking to himself, assistant Xiao Yang returned to the set and walked straight to Jiang Dao.

“Xiao Dao,” he leaned into Jiang Dao’s ear and said, “the boss asked me to take you to the hospital.”

The assistant’s voice was so soft that no one else on the set could hear it, but Jing Yu was sitting beside Jiang Dao and heard it.

The words he hadn’t yet said got stuck. His eyes widened, and his face was full of disbelief.

Although he felt that going to the hospital was a big deal, Jiang Dao didn’t neglect Chu Yinlong’s good intentions and left the studio with his assistant.

Jing Yu sat alone on the sidelines, frozen for a while. Finally, he pulled out his mobile phone and searched: Chu Yinlong reprimanded Xiao Xianrou1xiao xianrou = new ‘fresh’ actor.

After finding the video he had seen before, he watched it carefully again, and confirmed – yes, Teacher Chu did reprimand an actor who had to take leave to go to the hospital to see the bruise. His words were very serious, and didn’t contain any pity at all.

Comparing Chu Yinlong’s attitude towards Jiang Dao just now, and his behavior of sending his assistant to take Jiang Dao to the hospital…

Oh, something is off…

Previously, when scandals came up, Teacher Chu never actively dealt with them before. Besides, Teacher Chu is so fierce, yet Xiao Dao is not afraid of him at all. And when the substitute bullied Xiao Dao just now, Teacher Chu went on the field to stop him…

Also, Teacher Chu once invited Jiang Dao to watch variety shows in the same room. Er, it was the variety show they recorded together, and the interactions in it were also very loving…

Also, Jiang Dao’s lips were bitten before, just like–

Jing Yu’s eyes widened. Craning his head, he stared at the dressing room in disbelief, and turned his head back suddenly.

Did he discover something amazing?

No, it can’t be true!

 

———-

 

After coming out of the private hospital, Xiao Yang brought Jiang Dao back to the hotel, and returned to the studio himself. After Chu Yinlong finished filming, he stepped forward and reported what happened.

“The x-ray showed his arm is fine. The doctor said that it’s enough to apply medication for the past two days. After two days, he can apply hot compresses to dissipate blood stasis.” At this point, Xiao Yang paused before continuing. “He created a VIP account with Dr. Mu, and can seek medical treatment at any time in the future.”

“En,” Chu Yinlong asked, “Have you found a new stunt actor?”

The assistant nodded: “Secretary Zhang has found one. They will be here early tomorrow. This time, a comprehensive background investigation has been done, and the previous incident will not happen again.”

Chu Yinlong nodded and said indifferently, “That previous one, don’t look for him again in any films or dramas Longqi invests in. And let Director Mu, Director Zhu and Director Zhuang know.”

Hearing this, the assistant pursed his lips.

In the current entertainment industry, almost all action movies and martial arts dramas have investment from Longqi Entertainment, and the three named directors are also giants in the action martial arts world. In recent years, nearly 80% of film and television dramas containing action and martial arts elements are directed by these people.

Once Longqi and those directors refuse to hire him, the stunt actor may have a hard life.

“Boss, is this a… hidden danger?” The assistant considered. “If he reveals everything, it may be bad for… Jiang Dao.”

Chu Yinlong was still indifferent after hearing the first half of the sentence, but when his assistant finished speaking, he frowned.

After a moment of silence, he finally retreated half a step: “Okay, I don’t care what projects Longqi invests in. As for the directors, I’ll personally tell them.”

“That’s right,” After a pause, Chu Yinlong ordered again, “I have to trouble you and Xiao Zhang to help me find a new assistant.”

Xiao Yang turned pale: “…Boss?”

Chu Yinlong raised his eyebrows and continued: “You will follow Jiang Dao in the future. His life experience is a bit complicated, and I don’t trust him to deal with it by himself. I can’t be by his side all the time, so I can only ask you to keep eye an out, and deal with any situations as they arise.”

Xiao Yang heaved a sigh of relief and solemnly agreed.

…

The next day, the new substitute arrived, and the chase and pursuit scene restarted filming.

Filming was very smooth this time. The chase and close combat scene was completed in one shot, and the corridor scene with props only had one NG because the props were not secured and fell down, affecting the camera.

Fighting scenes were exhausting, so Chu Yinlong arranged plenty of rest time in between.

Jiang Dao was pulled by the makeup team to wash his face and reapply makeup for the upcoming close-up shots with Jing Yu.

Chu Yinlong sat behind the camera and discussed the scene with the assistant director and the camera.

At this time, the new stunt actor stepped forward, and greeted with a smile: “Brother Long, how is it? Is the effect okay?”

Chu Yinlong stood up straight and nodded at him. “Not bad. “

Shi Lu smiled and said, “After all, I’ve been through hundreds of battles. It’s a pity that you never looked for me after I recovered from that injury. I thought you forgot me.”

Chu Yinlong said: “I saw that you made two online dramas later, and both of them showed your face. I thought you wanted to transform from being a stunt actor. I didn’t expect Xiao Zhang to contact you.”

“I didn’t expect you to follow me.” Shi Lu smiled. “I really don’t want to be a stand-in.”

Before Chu Yinlong said anything, he added: “However, I’m happy to be a stand-in in your movie… If there’s a chance to repay your life-saving grace, of course, I want to seize it.”

As soon as he finished speaking, he heard a loud noise not far away.

Chu Yinlong frowned and turned his head to see Jing Yu shyly holding up some props that fell to the ground, and apologizing to several people with a smile: “I’m sorry! I accidentally kicked it! I’m sorry!”

After speaking, he ran away.

Chu Yinlong retracted his gaze and returned to his conversation with Shi Lu.

After a moment, he said: “You don’t have to repay anything. I didn’t save you to morally kidnap you as a stunt actor. If anyone else is in danger, I will save them too. Don’t worry so much.”

Shi Lu shook his head: “Whether you save people is your business, and whether I’m grateful or not is mine.”

Chu Yinlong sighed helplessly and said nothing.

On the other side, Jiang Dao, who had changed into clean clothes and had his hair and makeup redone, was dragged into a corner by Jing Yu as soon as he came out of the dressing room.

“Xiao Dao, I have something to tell you!” Jing Yu looked nervous. “Look, do you see that new stunt double?”

Jiang Dao leaned out suspiciously and glanced towards the director’s seat: “Yes, what about him?”

Jing Yuyu was mysteriously stressed: “Don’t you think that he is too close to Teacher Chu?”

Jiang Dao: …

“What are you talking about?” Jiang Dao was speechless. “The melon a few days ago wasn’t enough, and you want to eat new ones now?”

Jing Yu immediately panicked: “I’m not lying to you! When I was helping the props team move things, I heard him tell Teacher Chu that he would repay him with his body!2Shi Lu said “以身相许” when talking about repaying CYL, aka means promising with one’s body You, aren’t you worried?”

Jiang Dao was puzzled: “What am I worried about?”

Not worried, but a little curious.

Taking a closer look, he tutted in his heart – he didn’t expect Chu Yinlong, who looks like a veteran cadre, to be quite attractive to others. But why men? Could it be that because of the setting of this book, most couples are homosexuals?

Speaking of which… why does Jing Yu care about the people around Chu Yinlong? Could it be that…

Jiang Dao turned back, looked at Jing Yu inquisitively, and asked straightforwardly: “You pay so much attention to Teacher Chu – do you like him?”

“How is it possible!” Jing Yu immediately burst into a cold sweat. “Absolutely not! I, I promise you! I’m a straight man who can’t be any straighter. Besides, I like cute girls! I will never rob you of Teacher Chu!”

Jiang Dao: ?

Whatever. The more he speaks, the weirder it gets.

Jiang Dao sighed and touched Jing Yu’s head lovingly.

Look at how stressful filming is, this good child has become stupid.

…

Not far away, Chu Yinlong raised his head and inadvertently glanced at the glass in the corner outside the dressing room. In the reflection, he saw Jiang Dao reaching out and rubbing Jing Yu’s head, seeming extremely intimate.

He slapped the table and announced loudly, “Everyone get ready to shoot!”
