The next morning, many people left the crew, including the makeup artist who had tried to make things difficult for Niu Yichen.
I heard that some investors were also ousted, and Cai Yinong will try to find alternative solutions. The entire production crew has become Li Guoli's personal fiefdom.
Niu Yichen called Sun Li and learned that she had already gone back and might not be coming back.
After several more phone calls, Sun Li got so annoyed that she directly expressed her anger, and Niu Yichen finally stopped, but he still felt empty inside.
The first woman in his life had left him so cleanly and decisively; he truly hadn't expected it. For several days in a row, Niu Yichen was in a low mood.
However, director Li Guoli is really amazing. Taking advantage of Niu Yichen's current state of mind, he directly started filming the part of the story after the Drunken Sword Immortal lost Qing'er.
After realizing that Hu Ge and the others still needed to learn, Li Guoli directly adjusted the filming schedule, bringing all the veteran actors' scenes forward and explaining the scenes to Hu Ge and Liu Pinyan while filming.
Niu Yichen also met Xu Jinjiang, a man who has created countless classic roles and is the best actor in the entire crew.
There was originally no interaction between the Drunken Sword Immortal and the Moon Worship Cult Leader, but because of their acting skills, Li Guoli arranged several additional duels between them, mostly dialogue scenes, which were a great test of their acting skills.
This duel taught Niu Yichen a valuable lesson.
Even with 30 years of acting experience, "The Actors" isn't a magic bullet; there are plenty of geniuses in this world!
Niu Yichen's understanding of the character ultimately resulted in a performance that was on par with Xu Jinjiang's, but in reality, his performance was definitely not as good as Xu Jinjiang's!
The reason is simple: spirituality!
It's true that Niu Yichen has 30 years of experience, but his performances are all formulaic and he hasn't developed his own style. Even though his acting skills are already 90% good, there's still a barely perceptible gap between him and those at the very top. To close that gap, what he needs most is talent.
Those with natural talent, like Tony Leung, seem to be born with it; you can't learn it by studying. Those without natural talent, like Andy Lau, work hard and practice tirelessly their whole lives, but it still takes them over fifty years to even get a basic grasp of it.
Niu Yichen's talent is at most that of Andy Lau, or perhaps even less. If he wants to grow in the future, he'll have to rely on external help.
Because Niu Yichen had so much energy, he spent all his time on set, and his relationship with Liu Yifei grew better and better, even though Liu Xiaoli often tried to interrupt him.
Liu Xiaoli's objections were utterly ineffective against Niu Yichen's shamelessness. She was just a woman, and out of pride, she was unlikely to escalate the situation.
As a result, Niu Yichen went further and further astray, and his relationship with Liu Yifei progressed rapidly, as if they were just one thin layer of paper away from breaking through.
Honestly, this progress is much faster than Niu Yichen had imagined. After thinking about it carefully, there are probably three main reasons.
First, Liu Yifei was 14 years old when she debuted, which was during her rebellious phase. However, she was under strict control and had no freedom at all. Now she is 17 years old and is still at the end of her rebellious phase. Perhaps the more Liu Xiaoli doesn't want her to do something, the more eager she is to try it.
Liu Xiaoli strongly opposed her being with Niu Yichen. She didn't say it, but she secretly wanted to be with him. After all, at the age of 17, who wouldn't dream of having a passionate romance?
Secondly, and most importantly, Niu Yichen truly deserves her affection. He's handsome, a good actor, did what she wanted to do but couldn't, and even took the initiative to express his love for her! Ironically, Liu Yifei, such a beautiful girl, had never had any boys approach her before, so it's not surprising that she fell for him now.
Third, it was the laissez-faire attitude of everyone except Liu Xiaoli.
Li Guoli and his team were happy to see this happen.
Niu Yichen, a former child star, is somewhat famous in China, and Liu Yifei is also gradually emerging, which is quite a topic of discussion. Moreover, the roles they play on television are also very interesting.
The Sword Immortal loved Qing'er, but they didn't end up together. Liu Yifei played Zhao Ling'er, Qing'er's daughter. Although they didn't have much contact in the drama, what if they were together in real life?
Tsk! This plot sounds so familiar! Isn't it just like the story of "I like you, but actually I like your unborn daughter"?
Yin Liting with Ji Xiaofu, Isabella with Jacob, and now Qing'er with the Drunken Sword Immortal! This is promising!
There's also the rivalry between the Drunken Sword Immortal and Li Xiaoyao! It's interesting to think about, and it makes perfect sense. After all, the Drunken Sword Immortal was also involved in saving Ling'er, and he arrived even earlier! It doesn't make sense for Li Xiaoyao to get all the benefits!
Will some viewers say after watching: "Li Xiaoyao should just get together with Lin Yueru! Ling'er should follow the Drunken Sword Immortal to repay his kindness from her childhood!"
It has to be said that Niu Yichen's increased role as the Sword Immortal made the character more three-dimensional. Coupled with his portrayal of the Sword Immortal as sometimes dashing and handsome, sometimes decadent and melancholic, and sometimes aggressive and fiery, it's not surprising at all that this faction has emerged.
...
As filming progressed, all the actors became familiar with their roles, and the pace gradually quickened.
Hu Ge, Liu Yifei, and Ady An—all the young actors displayed astonishing talent, making Li Guoli scold them less often. After all, Niu Yichen was already a finished product; while he was easy to use, he lacked the sense of accomplishment one gets from painstakingly nurturing an actor.
Li Guoli has repeatedly praised Cai Yinong's eye for talent, but every time he does, Niu Yichen can't help but think of Li Landi and Dream Back to Qing Dynasty... Perhaps, even the most outstanding person will have a day when they stumble!
Niu Yichen's scenes progressed quickly and were few in number, but they weren't finished. This was because he was too active. He was always doing this and that on set, never idle even when he didn't have scenes to film, making the entire production run much smoother without anyone noticing. In light of this, and considering Cai Yinong's instructions, Li Guoli simply postponed his scenes, filming the others first. Those wicked capitalists won't let go of any opportunity to exploit people.
Time flew by and it was early March. Because the production was progressing faster than expected, Li Guoli gave the crew a rare day off to relax.
Most people chose to sleep in at home! Because everyone was so tired over the past month, they hadn't been able to get a full night's sleep for many days, and sometimes they even had to perform all night. After a month, everyone's complexion had become very poor. Even the young Liu Yifei and Liu Pinyan had dark circles under their eyes, let alone the others.
Of course, this excludes Niu Yichen! Niu Yichen is a freak who only needs two hours of sleep to be full of energy all day!
...
"Sisi! You really need to get some rest, look at your dark circles!" Liu Xiaoli put a face mask on Liu Yifei's face, carefully smoothing out the wrinkles, and said, "You're the leading lady, you usually don't have time to rest at all, so you must cherish this day and don't go out. We only have one day to rest, so don't waste it."
Regardless of how much self-interest she may have had, Liu Xiaoli's love for Liu Yifei is undeniable.
"Mmm!" Liu Yifei responded, lay down in the hotel bed, and said, "I'm so sleepy, Mom, you should go to sleep too!"
"Okay!" Liu Xiaoli took Liu Yifei's phone and said with a smile, "I'll leave the phone here! I'll give it back to you tomorrow morning, okay?"
"Huh?" Liu Yifei's charming phoenix eyes suddenly widened.
Liu Xiaoli waved her phone, looked at her with an expression that said, "You know everything," and said with amusement, "What, do you need your phone to sleep?"
"No...no need..."
"That's good!" Liu Xiaoli said, turning off her phone. "Come on, go to sleep. I'll watch over you!"
"Oh..." Liu Yifei closed her eyes helplessly.
Liu Xiaoli sat by Liu Yifei's bedside for a long time, propping her head up. As the night deepened, she suddenly let go and slammed her hand onto the table with a thud, waking up with a start.
I glanced at Liu Yifei on the bed; she had already fallen asleep with even breathing.
Liu Xiaoli called her name softly twice, and after seeing that she was really asleep, she yawned and went back to her own room.
Right next to their room, Niu Yichen quietly opened a room, leaving the door half-closed with a small crack to ensure that people outside couldn't see him, but could still see what was happening in Liu Yifei's room.
Liu Xiaoli was keeping a very close watch on them, so Niu Yichen and Liu Yifei made a pact to go for a walk together late at night. Again, because Liu Xiaoli was keeping a very close watch on them, they didn't agree on a time, so Niu Yichen just waited at the door after he got back.
Two hours had passed, and there was still no sound from Liu Yifei's door. Niu Yichen remained calm and patient, without a trace of anxiety.
He was very confident in himself and believed that Liu Yifei would definitely come out. However, he was still a little bored during his free time, and Niu Yichen thought about his future again.
His life is now inextricably linked to film and television, but that doesn't mean he can give up other things. His investments outside the industry are snowballing, generating far greater profits than filmmaking, and their value is constantly appreciating. There's no point in cashing out; he'll only be buying more. So, how he survives in the entertainment industry is entirely up to him.
The entertainment industry right now is full of untapped potential, but how to tap into that potential is a problem for him, who's all alone. After much thought, he realized that taking on more roles without needing outside funding is the best solution! It's truly disheartening!
Coming to his senses, Niu Yichen realized it was already 4 o'clock! Liu Yifei still hadn't arrived!
"Could it be that I overslept?" Niu Yichen frowned, but still calmed down and waited quietly.
If Liu Yifei doesn't show up and seems rather perfunctory, it means her performance over the past few days was all an act. In that case, to complete the mission, she'll have to resort to some extraordinary means. But if it really was acting, Liu Yifei's acting skills are just too good…
And so, Niu Yichen waited until six o'clock in the morning, when it was already getting light, before Liu Yifei finally came out of her room, dressed simply in one piece of clothing, without any makeup. She hadn't done anything except wash her face and brush her teeth.
Niu Yichen opened the door and pulled her into the room.
"I'm sorry, Yichen!" Liu Yifei quickly explained, "My mom took my phone away last night, and I was sleepy, so I accidentally fell asleep... um..."
Before she could finish speaking, Niu Yichen kissed her on the lips. Liu Yifei's body stiffened for a moment, then she awkwardly but passionately responded. This situation proved one thing: Niu Yichen had stood at the door all night without letting his guard down, just waiting for her.
This was their first kiss. The soft tongue carried a slightly sweet taste, making Niu Yichen's mind go a little dizzy. He held her tightly, his large hands stroking her back for a while before finally gripping her buttocks hard and kneading them back and forth as if in a fierce manner.
"Mmm..." Liu Yifei breathed heavily, her arms wrapped around Niu Yichen's neck, refusing to let go.
Liu Yifei wore a simple pair of jeans; the fabric was very rough, but its youthful elasticity was unmatched by Sun Li or Cai Yinong. Niu Yichen kneaded them forcefully, squeezing them until they hurt a little.
After a long while, their lips parted. Liu Yifei and Niu Yichen were both breathing heavily.
At this moment, Niu Yichen realized that after a month of simple interaction, the feeling of having a white moonlight from his past life had once again descended upon Liu Yifei, and she had unknowingly taken a very important place in his heart.
"Are you still blaming me?" Liu Yifei asked softly.
"I'm already so glad you came!" Niu Yichen released his right hand from Liu Yifei's buttocks, slipped it under the hem of her clothes, and caressed her slender waist. After a while, he quietly moved his hand up and unhooked her bra, took it out from under her clothes, and tossed it aside.
Liu Yifei hugged Niu Yichen's neck, breathing softly in his ear, but did not resist at all.
"Mmm..." Liu Yifei let out a soft moan as Niu Yichen pinched her small nipple.
Liu Yifei's breasts are not large, with small and rounded nipples that playfully curl upwards under Niu Yichen's fingertips. Her smooth skin exudes a youthful innocence.
Niu Yichen's caresses felt like a tingling electric current, traveling down from her sensitive nipples, causing a tingling sensation and emptiness between her legs, as if she wanted something to be inserted into them.
Liu Yifei passively accepted this strange feeling, her beautiful phoenix eyes slightly narrowed, as if a trace of water was overflowing, and her face, without any makeup, was full of blush, making her indescribably beautiful.
"It can't be too long!" Just as Niu Yichen was about to undo Liu Yifei's belt, she suddenly said shyly, "My mom will wake up soon. I checked her alarm clock; she'll wake up at seven o'clock, and... I can't let her find out!"
Niu Yichen glanced at his watch and said, "Could you go back 20 minutes early?"
"Mm!" Liu Yifei nodded.
"Well…we have 25 minutes left!" Niu Yichen unbuckled her belt, and with a gentle loosening, the entire pair of jeans slid down, leaving only a cute pair of underwear with SpongeBob SquarePants on them.
Liu Yifei said, "Be careful, I can't let my mom find out!"
"I will be very careful!" Niu Yichen grabbed the hem of Liu Yifei's clothes, pulled them up, and took off the clothes completely. Then he pulled down her underwear, and her tender body was fully exposed to his eyes.
"Ah..." After the last piece of clothing was removed from her body, Liu Yifei squeezed her legs together in fear. That triangle area only had a little bit of downy hair and was not fully developed yet.
Niu Yichen circled around her. Her fair and delicate skin, pert buttocks, slender waist, straight legs, and tender yet firm breasts, combined with her fairy-like beautiful face, made her an incomparably stunning beauty.
The system was right, this is her most beautiful moment! Now is the time! We absolutely cannot let her go!
Liu Yifei felt shy under Niu Yichen's aggressive gaze, and suddenly grabbed his clothes, saying, "You take yours off too!"
Looking at her beautiful face, Niu Yichen said breathlessly, "If I take my clothes off too, I'm afraid you won't be able to leave!"
"You have to take it off too!" Liu Yifei said, and then, imitating Niu Yichen, she took off his shirt as well.
Niu Yichen's skin is also very fair, somewhat like that of a pretty boy, but his strong muscles are definitely not something a pretty boy could have.
Liu Yifei stroked Niu Yichen's pectoral muscles, then moved down to his abdominal muscles, a smile appearing on her face as she exclaimed, "I never expected you to have such a great physique! No wonder you can do such complicated moves so easily!"
"You little vixen!" Niu Yichen couldn't help but chuckle and pulled her into his arms.
As soon as their skin touched, Niu Yichen's hands began to roam over her delicate body. Liu Yifei hugged his neck again, stood on tiptoe, and kissed him passionately on the lips. Her tender breasts pressed tightly against Niu Yichen's chest, gently twisting and rubbing against him, indulging in the tingling sensation.
Niu Yichen gripped her buttocks firmly with both hands, carefully feeling their elasticity. Not satisfied with just kneading them, he slapped her hard across the face. As her buttocks rippled, a clear handprint appeared on her white cheeks.
"Hmm!" Liu Yifei twisted her body in dissatisfaction, squeezing her legs together forcefully, revealing a noticeable wetness at the entrance of her soft vagina.
"So comfortable..." Liu Yifei leaned on Niu Yichen's shoulder, breathing heavily.
Niu Yichen, also breathing heavily, unbuckled his belt, releasing his throbbing, hard penis, and pressed it against Liu Yifei's lower abdomen, saying, "I want you! Don't go back this morning, okay!"
A hint of struggle flashed across Liu Yifei's face, but she ultimately said, "No! My mother has sacrificed so much for me, I can't let her worry!"
Niu Yichen took a deep breath, placed his penis between her legs, and said, "Squeeze tight! I want to feel good!"
Liu Yifei put her legs together and tightly clamped Niu Yichen's penis between them. Taking advantage of the moisture from her recent orgasm, Niu Yichen began to thrust.
"Mmm! Mmm!" Liu Yifei moaned softly, gripping Niu Yichen's shoulders with both hands to hold herself in place, her legs tightly closed.
The thick, long shaft rubbed back and forth against the sensitive vaginal opening, like lighting a fire. The legs, full of elasticity and delicacy, were no less than those inside the vagina, except for being a little shorter.
Niu Yichen kissed Liu Yifei's beautiful face while caressing her breasts, waist, and buttocks. After a long while, he finally reached his climax.
"Kneel down!" Niu Yichen said to Liu Yifei in a deep voice. His voice seemed to have a magical power, causing Liu Yifei to obediently kneel down and look up at him innocently.
He roughly parted Liu Yifei's lips and ruthlessly thrust his penis into her mouth, piercing directly into her delicate throat.
"Hmm!" Liu Yifei frowned, but obediently did not resist, as if she had already sensed that Niu Yichen was at a crucial point.
Niu Yichen held her head and thrust twice forcefully, and a large amount of semen gushed out.
For some reason, this ejaculation was more intense and more profuse than ever before. The pale white liquid filled Liu Yifei's mouth completely, with a trace slowly oozing from the corner of her lips, creating an indescribably lewd scene.
To Niu Yichen's surprise, Liu Yifei frowned and swallowed the semen in her mouth. She licked her lips with her pink tongue and then picked up Niu Yichen's still-erect penis, sucking on it gently until she had sucked up every last drop of semen before stopping, seemingly unsatisfied.
"It tastes good! Do you have any more?"
