Each department, back to positions, let\u2019s start again.&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Everyone moved while Lian Pengxing looked at Shen Jia who was again reassuring Qi Cong to not be nervous while Qi Cong had no trace of nervousness on him. Silently, he adjusted his mood and turned around to walk towards the starting position of shooting.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Just now, he actually couldn&#8217;t help but start to measure and analyze all of Qi Cong\u2019s gestures after seeing his acting up close. Then he imagined what he would look like in the same frame as Qi Cong.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">His mind suddenly started to wander again, wondering whether he would look very clumsy and stiff when he stood in front of Qi Cong who had such a natural and elegant greeting and excellent appearance.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">He could imagine how Qi Cong would attract fans after the drama broadcast. He could also imagine how people would judge the appearance, acting skills and lines of all male actors in the drama. People will point out his physical defects and notice that he wasn\u2019t as good as Qi Cong. They would find that the rightful heir wasn\u2019t as elegant and noble as a concubine\u2019s son. People will say that he was already old and missed the time when he could transform. Singing and dancing idols could only last for a few years at most. Sooner or later they needed to transform. Still, Qi Cong\u2019s acting skills and appearance were so good he would certainly have a promising future.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Qi Cong also had Manju Entertainment, Shen Jia, Zhao Zhenxun and Gu Xun behind him. Qi Cong had already gained high popularity before his first work even came out. How could he compare to Qi Cong?<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">&#8220;Lian Pengxing what&#8217;s wrong with you? Are you not feeling well?\u201d Wang Yue was waiting for her scene in the rest area, leaned over at some point and frowned slightly. \u201cYou don\u2019t look good.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Lian Pengxing returned to his senses and found that he had actually wandered off again. Shaking his head, he smiled reluctantly. &#8220;I&#8217;m fine.&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">&#8220;Don&#8217;t smile if you don&#8217;t want to.&#8221; Wang Yue suddenly looked in the direction of Qi Cong. After which she looked again at Lian Pengxing, sighed and said in a low voice, \u201cJust concentrate on your own development. Everyone has their own path. If you only look at others, you won&#8217;t have time to see your own path.&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Lian Pengxing froze and looked at Wang Yue.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Wang Yue&#8217;s eyes were gentle and clear, as if she had seen through everything. Slowly she said, \u201cLian Pengxing, I am facing the same situation as you, but no matter how much we are afraid to resist, age is something we can\u2019t avoid. Excellent newcomers will appear one after another. If you make a little progress every day, if you work hard, you will be able to transform sooner or later, and those who love you will certainly always love the you who worked so hard. I think so.&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">&#8230;&#8230;<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Two minutes later, the scene resumed shooting. Everyone was in great shape and went through it perfectly. Director Wang also boasted to Lian Pengxing alone after shooting, &#8220;Your lines and expressions were all well grasped, keep it up.&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Lian Pengxing thanked him with a smile, then took the initiative to greet Qi Cong and Shen Jia before going to the rest area.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">His assistant, Xiao Liu, came up with water and complimented him. \u201cBrother Lian, just now you performed very well. Director Wang rarely praises anyone, but he praised you. Brother Lian, just now I looked very carefully. Your appearance isn\u2019t bad compared with Mr. Qi Cong and it\u2019s also very\u2013\u201d<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">&#8220;Xiao Liu.&#8221; Lian Pengxing interrupted her next words. He spoke with a warning. &#8220;Don&#8217;t comment on other actors and teachers indiscriminately, also don\u2019t\u2026. Forget it, you pack up and go back to the company today. I will talk to Sister Yang and have her transfer another assistant to me.&#8221; With that, he brushed Xiao Liu away and didn\u2019t pick up the water in Xiao Liu&#8217;s hand.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">On the other side of the rest area, the little actor who played Qi Cong\u2019s servant boy hesitated, but still took advantage of Shen Jia going to the bathroom to come up to Qi Cong and whispered, \u201cMr. Qi Cong, I found that Lian Pengxing\u2019s assistant always peeks at you. You should pay more attention to it.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">These two days Qi Cong and\u00a0 the young actor have filmed several scenes together, so they became familiar with each other. So hearing his words, Qi Cong followed the young actor\u2019s guidance and looked. Indeed he found that the round-faced youth was looking his way. When their eyes met, the other party avoided his gaze for a moment, but then returned to her previous line of sight and smiled toward him before turning around and running away.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Qi Cong frowned, withdrew his eyes, and asked the young actor, &#8220;She always looks at me?&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The little actor nodded. &#8220;I noticed it several times.&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Qi Cong thought for a moment, but didn\u2019t remember if he had any previous overlap with this assistant. Temporarily putting the matter aside, he thanked the young actor for the reminder and then reminded him, \u201cAs I said, you don\u2019t need to call me Mr. We are all actors and newcomers, so we can just call each other by name.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">&#8220;Then\u2026&#8221; the little actor glanced at Qi Cong and then suddenly shouted, &#8220;Brother Cong,&#8221; before turning around and running away.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Qi Cong froze, looking at the little actor running away and couldn\u2019t help smiling. This little actor&#8217;s shy introverted energy was too much like Shen Jia when he was a child.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">&#8220;Wow, you have your first fan.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Suddenly an arm was put on his shoulder. Qi Cong looked over and met Shen Jia&#8217;s squinting expression. He raised his hand to cover his face and pushed him back. Smiling, he said, \u201cWhat fan, don\u2019t talk nonsense.&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In the subsequent filming, Qi Cong paid a little attention to the movements of Lian Pengxing\u2019s assistant, but strangely found that the other party left the set after packing up a while ago and never came back again.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">He was puzzled and while everyone was sitting together to rest and discuss the script, he casually asked Lian Pengxing, &#8220;Why haven&#8217;t I seen your assistant? In such hot weather, no one has handed you a glass of water.&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Lian Pengxing used the script as a fan and replied, &#8220;Something happened at home, so she needed to go back to her hometown. She probably won\u2019t come back until the filming of \u201cLegend of Youth\u201d is finished.&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Qi Cong didn\u2019t expect to get such an answer, and froze. Afterwards, he nodded his head to show his understanding and didn\u2019t continue the topic.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">On the way back to the set, Qi Cong mentioned to Zhao Zhenxun what the young actor said to him and about the sudden departure of Lian Pengxing\u2019s assistant.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Zhao Zhenxun thought about it and finally said, \u201cSince she left, let&#8217;s not think about it anymore. That assistant was probably watching Lian Pengxing and you in the scene and was misunderstood by that little actor.&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Qi Cong remembered that afternoon and the assistant\u2019s gaze. His heart felt a little uneasy as he recalled the other party&#8217;s words and actions and found that he couldn\u2019t find any other impression of the other person. Finally he shook his head and followed Zhao Zhenxun&#8217;s advice, temporarily letting this matter go.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In the next two days, Qi Cong shot a few scenes with Lian Pengxing and he really didn\u2019t see that assistant again during this period.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">After Qi Cong finished filming his last scene at Prince Rui\u2019s mansion, Zhao Zhenxun sent Qi Cong his itinerary for the next ten days.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">There were a lot of unexpected contents on the schedule, amounting to more than ten jobs which was more than Qi Cong expected. From top to bottom, he was scheduled to conclude his filming with the \u201cLegend of Youth\u201d Qionglin Banquet scene in the imperial Garden on the 5th, and go back to Beishi on the 6th to advertise the release of &#8216;A New Life&#8217;. Then he had to record the second song \u201cDelusion\u201d for the OST of \u201cLegend of Youth\u201d on the 7th, 8th and 9th. He could take a break on the 10th, then he would attend two auditions on the 11th and 14th, take part in a photo shoot on the 12th, and participate in a music program in Beishi on the 13th. On the 13th he would also sing &#8216;A New Life&#8217; for the first time on a music program live.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">From the 5th to the 14th, there was only one day without any work.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\r\n<p>Edited by: Antiope1<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Support translation:<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.patreon.com\/bePatron?u=25191841\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"217\" height=\"51\" class=\"wp-image-338 lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/ontimestory.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/become_a_patron_button.png?resize=217%2C51\" alt=\"\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 217px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 217\/51;\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image is-resized\"><a href=\"https:\/\/ko-fi.com\/lajnaa\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" data-src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/ontimestory.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/kofi3-3.png?resize=185%2C47\" alt=\"This image has an empty alt attribute; its file name is kofi3-3.png\" width=\"185\" height=\"47\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" class=\"lazyload\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 185px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 185\/47;\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\r\n\r\n<p><!--EndFragment--><\/p>\r\n<p><!--EndFragment--><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Lian Pengxing returned to his senses and looked at Qi Cong who immediately emerged from the role of You Chengqing after the director shouted \u201ccut.\u201d Suppressing his embarrassment, he apologized to the director and said to everyone, &#8220;Sorry, I forgot my line for a moment.&#8221; &#8220;Then hurry up and remember it again.
