Chapter 1279 Passing through the capital, going to see Chen Yingying
"Give it a name?" Chen Yang stroked his chin, seriously considering it.
This is about naming my son, so I can't be careless.
As he had said before, his sister-in-law was carrying a boy.
Now, more than two months pregnant, he is even more certain that his initial judgment was that it was a boy.
"Sister-in-law, do you have any opinions or suggestions?" Chen Yang suddenly asked Li Xianglian.
Although he was a college student and a highly educated intellectual, it was still difficult for him to come up with a good name in a short period of time.
“I have no objections, I’ll listen to you completely. You’re the child’s father, whatever you say his name is, that’s what he’ll be called. If you can’t think of one right now, don’t think about it. When you’ve decided, send me a message or give me a call.” Li Xianglian smiled, her eyes full of doting affection for her young man.
Even if she had her own ideas, she wouldn't say them, leaving the decision-making power to Chen Yang.
Chen Yang stroked his chin for a moment, deep in thought.
Suddenly, a thought flashed through his mind, and he said, "My life has been one of constant toil, either in battle or on the way to one. To be honest, I miss my days as a village doctor, treating a few patients every day and occasionally gathering herbs in the mountains. Those days were simple, but fulfilling. I hope my son can live a peaceful and ordinary life, unlike me, toiling away, risking his life, and constantly fighting. I'm willing to bear all his hardships. Let's call him Chen Fan, an ordinary person."
“Chen Fan, Xiao Fan, good, good name. People say the greatest truths are the simplest, so having an ordinary name is fine too,” Li Xianglian said with a smile, agreeing with Chen Yang’s idea.
Chen Yang works so hard so that his descendants can live a better life and not have to struggle like he does.
And that's how the son's name was decided.
Chen Yang summoned the Black-scaled Eagle, which entered the stratosphere and headed north.
The bird's broad back was like a piece of land, and Chen Yang could even meditate and cultivate on it without any problem, which was much more comfortable than riding a flying sword.
Hey!
A clear bird song made the sky tremble and shatter the clouds.
"Mom, I saw a bird, a big bird, and a big brother was sitting on it."
Inside a domestically produced passenger plane soaring through the air, a girl leaning against the window suddenly spoke to her mother sitting next to her, pointing her little finger out the window.
"You must be mistaken, baby. The plane is flying so high, there couldn't possibly be any birds there," the little girl's mother said, skeptical.
“Yes, there is, and there’s an older brother too,” the little girl insisted.
Although it was absurd, the little girl's mother still leaned out the window and glanced out.
As luck would have it, a huge cloud appeared outside, and everything went completely dark.
When the plane flew out of the clouds, the Blackscaled Eagle was just a small black dot.
It was already deep winter, and the northern land was desolate, with many places covered in silver.
Chen Yang originally intended to fly straight to Changbai Mountain, but after thinking about it, he stopped when he arrived in the capital, wanting to see his neighbor's little sister, Chen Yingying.
It has been almost three years since they last met.
Chen Yingying should be a junior in college now, and graduation is just around the corner.
Chen Yang released his divine sense, encompassing the entire capital city. His spiritual sea then activated like a supercomputer, quickly identifying Chen Yingying's presence. She wasn't at the Imperial Film Academy, but somewhere Chen Yang was unaware of.
This is a film studio, and Chen Yingying is filming a movie there. She's even the lead actress, which is quite rare.
Although she is only a junior in college, Chen Yingying has already signed with a top 3 artist management company thanks to her outstanding appearance and solid basic skills. The company is also very dedicated and has spent a lot of money to cultivate her, hoping to make her a popular young actress.
Chen Yingying is also very competitive. When filming, she is not afraid of hardship or fatigue and has a very high level of professionalism.
The company secured this lead role for her.
Although the male lead isn't a top star, he's definitely a second-tier actor and has already gained some fame in the entertainment industry.
Chen Yingying's agency hopes to leverage the fame of this second-rate male lead to boost her popularity.
Winters in the capital are very cold. It has been snowing heavily for several days, and the thick snow on the ground has not yet melted. Snowflakes are falling from the sky again.
To show off her perfect figure, Chen Yingying wore very thin clothes, her small body shivering from the cold, but she still persevered.
The male lead opposite her was wrapped up like a dumpling, as warm as could be. He was about to give her a passionate kiss when she pushed him away.
Immediately, the male lead became enraged and roared, "Cut! Stop, stop, stop!"
Then, the male lead yelled at Chen Yingying, "What do you want, woman? Do you even want to film properly? If you don't, get out of here!"
"You're the one who doesn't want to film properly, aren't you? There's no kissing scene here at all. What right do you have to add scenes like this?" Chen Yingying was so angry she almost cried.
There was clearly no kissing scene in this scene, but the male lead insisted on adding one.
This is the Nth time the script has been revised, all because of this guy. He's a complete tyrant on set and a womanizer.
Chen Yingying has had enough of this male lead.
But being a nobody, I had no say and could only endure it.
Although she has a powerful background and a top-notch older brother next door, she wants to make a name for herself in the entertainment industry through her own abilities and keeps her powerful background a closely guarded secret.
"what happened?"
The director, carrying a megaphone, walked out of the studio with an angry expression.
"Director, as you know, I'm always very dedicated and professional when it comes to filming. I think this scene needs a passionate kiss to make it complete. Otherwise, it's a failure," the male lead said to the director, looking quite righteous.
"A kissing scene? But it's not in the script! We discussed it before, and it was fine, wasn't it?" The director was also completely baffled.
“If there’s no script, we can add one! The atmosphere in this scene is already set up. If there’s no kissing scene, the audience will be very disappointed. If the audience is disappointed, they will give bad reviews, and the ratings will be low. A kissing scene can make up for all of that, so why not? What do you say, director? Otherwise, I’d rather not film a scene that’s incomplete.” The male lead said with a stern face.
"Well... Chen Yingying, what do you think? How about adding a kissing scene to make the story more complete?" the director asked Chen Yingying.
"I don't think it's good at all! There's clearly no kissing scene in the script, so why add one? Director, how many times has he revised the script? Are you just going to let him get away with this? You might as well let him be the director!" Chen Yingying said angrily, finally unable to bear it any longer.
As soon as she said that, the director and the male lead's faces darkened.
The male lead glared at Chen Yingying and said angrily, "Hey Chen Yingying, what are you pretending for, you newcomer? What right do you have to act tough in front of me? The fact that I'm willing to act with you is already a huge favor. Being able to film a kissing scene with me is a blessing you've accumulated over eight lifetimes. If you don't want to film, then get lost! There are plenty of people who want to! Do you know how many people want to act with me but don't have the chance? If you don't seize it, then give the opportunity to someone else!"
"Why should I leave? You're the one who doesn't want to film properly. If anyone should leave, it's you!" Chen Yingying said angrily.
"You're a newcomer, telling me to get out? Are you crazy?" the male lead said angrily, then turned to the director and said, "Director, I don't want to see this woman. Kick her out. If she doesn't leave, I will, and we can't film this scene."
One is a newcomer, the other is a second-tier star; there's no need to consider who to save or who to sacrifice.
"Chen Yingying, do you even want to act properly anymore? It's just a kissing scene, what's the big deal? As an artist, you should have the spirit of dedication to art. If you're not even willing to make this sacrifice, then what are you doing in this industry? This is just a kissing scene. What if it's a bed scene? Would you still film it? I'll give you one minute to think about it. If you don't film it, I'll replace you immediately!" The director said without any mercy.
"Humph!"
The male lead had a sinister grin on his face.
On several occasions, he invited Chen Yingying to his hotel to discuss the script during his evening rest, but she refused each time. This made him resentful towards Chen Yingying.
Speaking of Chen Yingying, this girl is outstanding in appearance and has a great figure; she's got the looks of a school beauty. He fell for her at first sight. The reason he agreed to play the female lead was because he wanted to woo her.
But now that the filming is halfway done, he hasn't even had a sip of soup yet, and he's getting anxious, so he took it upon himself to revise the script.
Adding a kissing scene this time was just a small test; next time he might dare to add a bed scene.
"..."
Chen Yingying was so angry that she cried, tears streaming down her face.
It's not that she can't accept kissing scenes, but rather that she can't accept the male lead adding scenes for no reason.
"No, director, let's film! It's just a kissing scene, it's no big deal. I'll try to comfort Chen Yingying."
Just then, a fat woman appeared, smiling obsequiously.
"Chen Yingying, what's wrong? Don't you want things to get better?"
The large, fat woman rushed up to Chen Yingying and began to scold her loudly.
She is Chen Yingying's agent, named Liu Lanhua. She is a very strong woman, very resourceful and capable, and has managed several outstanding artists.
“Sister Liu…” Chen Yingying cried.
"Chen Yingying, do you know how much effort I put into getting this role for you? It's just a kissing scene, and you're throwing a tantrum? What do you want? Do you even want a normal life? Let me tell you, you have to film this scene, whether you like it or not! You're a newcomer, you have no choice." Liu Lanhua scolded loudly, showing no support for Chen Yingying despite being her manager.
“I…” Chen Yingying’s tears streamed down her face.
"What do you mean, 'you'? Haven't I made myself clear enough? Wipe away your tears and get back to filming. Don't even mention kissing scenes, you don't have the right to refuse, not even bed scenes. If you don't film, the company won't cover the ten million yuan penalty for breach of contract. As for terminating your contract with your agency, don't even think about it. The ten billion yuan penalty wouldn't be enough to cover even if you sold yourself." Agent Liu said bluntly.
As soon as she said that, Chen Yingying's face turned pale.
The penalty for breach of contract for a single drama series is ten million yuan, which she simply cannot afford.
There's also the contract she signed with her agency. She hadn't noticed when she signed it, but one clause stipulated a penalty of a staggering one billion yuan. Unless there are unforeseen circumstances stipulated by the company, such as sudden physical injury, she would have to compensate the company one billion yuan if she wanted to terminate the contract.
She now only regrets her youthful arrogance, her eagerness to prove herself, and her ignorance of the dangers of the world.
"Hurry up, Chen Yingying, everyone's waiting. When you kiss me later, put your heart into it, don't make it sound like you're forcing me," the male lead said with a cold, sly smile.
He made up his mind that he would shout "Cut!" at least ten times later and kiss this woman's lips raw.
Based on his experience with picking up girls, he concluded that Chen Yingying was still a virgin.
It would be a waste not to win over such a stunning woman.
"Hurry up and act well later. These days, which A-list actress hasn't been kissed eight hundred times?" Sister Liu gave Chen Yingying a push.
Chen Yingying had no choice. After wiping away her tears, she quickly composed herself.
"You little brat, you're no match for me."
The male lead whispered in Chen Yingying's ear, as if he had won a battle, perfectly embodying the idea that shamelessness makes one invincible.
"Are all films this vulgar these days? Forcing a kiss when it's unnecessary—what's the difference between that and indecent assault? Shouldn't this kind of person be thrown in jail to reflect on their actions? Are they even worth keeping around for the holidays?"
Just then, a detached voice suddenly rang out.
The man's voice was accompanied by steady, powerful footsteps.
Crunch!
Each step left a deep footprint in the thick snow.
The snow was still falling, and the world was shrouded in a misty haze.
The figure was approaching from afar.
"Who the hell are you? Whose dog is barking like this? Who let him in?" the male lead said angrily, staring intently at the newcomer.
Anyone with half a brain could tell that the man's voice was directed at him.
It sounds like an insult.
Chen Yingying was stunned. She stared at the approaching figure, and the tears she had just wiped away suddenly started flowing again.
Although his vision was blurry, the sound he had just heard was very clear, a sound he would never forget for the rest of his life.
It was none other than the voice of the older brother next door that she had been longing for day and night.
"Security, where are the security guards? Have they all gone to eat shit? Someone's causing trouble on set, can't you see? Get them out of here right now!" the male lead shouted.
At that moment, Chen Yingying suddenly took a step and ran out.
"Chen Yingying, you bitch, are you trying to get yourself killed? Are you even going to stop filming?" the male lead said angrily.
At that moment, he felt like the duck he had almost eaten had escaped.
Then, when Chen Yingying threw herself into the arms of the man who approached, he felt even more like he had been cuckolded and was furious.
"Brother Xiaoyang, why did you only come to see me now? Waaah!" Chen Yingying cried.
