Chapter 230: Encounter with the crew
Chapter 230: Encounter with the crew
Ye Yan's popularity in Europe and the United States soared earlier because of "Under the Sunset", and now she has starred in the Hollywood blockbuster "Bloodline", and her popularity has soared.
Therefore, in order to catch up with this big star from the East, local fans have even learned to form groups to wait for the crew just to see him and say hello.
【Hi YAN! 】
[Howl! Could you sign please? I like you!]
【I love China, I love you! YAN! 】
Every evening when he went to work, a group of young European men and women would wait at the entrance of the studio, expressing their "love" to him in broken Chinese mixed with English.
He used to think that Xu Qingran calling him Yan was too corny and unique, but now he doesn't feel that way at all.
He never thought that one day he would go global and his foreign fans would call him Yan.
He felt that if Xu Qingran knew the situation would be like this today, he would probably be very depressed, a sour kind of depression.
The fans here are not as large as those in China, with only dozens of them every day, so if time permits, he will still stay for two minutes to sign a few autographs.
His popularity in China is so terrifying that he almost never gets the chance to sign autographs or take photos with fans, so Tan Zhuoxi will also remind him when he interacts with foreign fans.
"It would be bad if domestic fans knew about this. They don't get this kind of treatment..."
"That's easy. I'll sign twenty tickets and put them up on my studio homepage for a raffle. That's fair. Besides, they'll be happy to see how popular I am outside."
Ye Yan signed autographs for European fans while resolving Tan Zhuoxi's doubts. When he handed the last one back to the fan, the other party took it and put a bottle of drink that looked like milk in his hand with a mysterious expression.
He was not supposed to accept food from fans, but this bottle of yogurt was different. It was the domestic brand that he usually liked to drink.
And he saw at a glance that there was a small note on the box, and the writing on it was actually in Chinese.
"Have a nice day at work, Yan, and remember to refuel (smiley face)."
Yan is a name that belongs exclusively to Xu Qingran. How could it not be considered a surprise to receive this from the blond-haired and blue-eyed European beauty?
"Again, so now even fans are moonlighting as his NPCs?"
Ye Yan was holding the yogurt and looking at the staff around her. It was really hard to suppress the corners of her smile. It was not entirely because of happiness, but also because she thought it was really creative. She didn't know who came up with it.
No one answered him, but just turned his head and looked around, pretending to know nothing, but also pretending to know everything.
Ye Yan understood and said nothing more. She just smiled and took the yogurt into the set.
There were no fighting scenes today, and his few literary scenes were all packed into the same time period, making the performance very easy. Compared to these foreign actors, his emotional scenes had a huge advantage and were terrifyingly strong.
These past two days, he added a piece of accessory to his look, a priceless high-ice imperial green jade bracelet, which is another stereotypical Chinese style from the perspective of foreigners.
It was specially borrowed for him by the crew from a top jewelry exhibition. It was usually placed in a glass display cabinet protected by a first-level anti-theft system. Only Ye Yan could make such a rare treasure hang on his wrist in an ordinary way without stealing any of his style.
Ye Yan was afraid of scratching this priceless treasure that could not be measured by monetary amounts, and she couldn't even understand why its owner agreed to lend it out.
"The owner of this bracelet said she's your fan. She's resting in the dressing room and wants to meet you."
The director explained to him that if they were fans, then that made sense, and Ye Yan nodded in agreement.
He is an artist, so it is normal for him to say hello to the sponsor. What's more, people are lending their treasures to him at the risk of damage for his sake. In this case, he certainly cannot "play big shot".
So after finishing the first scene and putting on makeup, Ye Yan was led by the crew to meet the owner of the bracelet.
Jade bracelets are women's accessories, so Ye Yan guessed early on that its owner should be a woman.
He guessed right. The other person was indeed an elegant woman, but her face surprised Ye Yan more than the value of the bracelet.
It was Jiang Qing, and the first stop of her world tour was Los Angeles.
"You? When did you come to Los Angeles?"
Ye Yan asked with some surprise.
He and Jiang Qing had only met once, but he had a good impression of her. Perhaps it was because they didn't know each other well enough, but he hoped it wasn't a misunderstanding.
"I just arrived yesterday. I adjusted to the time difference and came to see you."
There were only two of them left in the room. Jiang Qing sat on the sofa and looked at him with a smile, then stood up and walked to him, took his hand and looked at the priceless treasure that glowed like mist under the light.
Ye Yan thought she was checking whether her things were damaged, and since she was her elder, she did not refuse and waited for her to check.
"I didn't expect women's jewelry to look so good on you. It doesn't look feminine at all. I've never worn this bracelet before. I think it makes me look older, so I've kept it in a jewelry exhibition. I only agreed to lend it to you because of you. I think only your temperament can hold it together."
Jiang Qing praised, then carefully let go of his hand and smiled gently.
How generous, Ye Yan thought, and how good at praising. She felt a little embarrassed for some reason.
"Thank you, Auntie. I will protect it and return it intact. Are you free tomorrow? I'll treat you to lunch at noon."
When he met his boyfriend's aunt in a foreign country, who was also the financial sponsor who provided him with jewelry free of charge, he wanted to express his gratitude out of courtesy and took the initiative to invite her.
"No rush, you need to get some rest tomorrow after staying up late. Let's talk about it when you don't have any announcements. I'll wait for you. I've made plans with friends to watch a movie at 8 o'clock, so I won't disturb you at work."
Jiang Qing did not refuse his invitation, but changed the time for his consideration, which was very reasonable, so Ye Yan readily agreed.
"No problem, I'll ask you out another day. There's still twenty minutes until eight o'clock, so I won't keep you here. I'll walk you out."
"No need, just let them send it off." Jiang Qing declined politely, picked up the bag on the table and prepared to leave.
"By the way." She passed by Ye Yan and turned back to look at the pair of cold and charming eyes with makeup on, as if she had something to say.
"I just saw that your set-up is so dangerous. The wires are so high. Being an actor is really not easy. Be careful. Bye."
I thought she was going to say something, but it turned out she was frightened by the dark and magnificent setting of the studio.
This is normal. When Ye Yan saw it for the first time, he really thought he had arrived in another world. The sculptures of bats and werewolves were lifelike, but compared to the weird Chinese style, these were child's play in Ye Yan's eyes.
However, it was quite interesting to meet Xu Qingran's relatives in Los Angeles. Ye Yan thought that she must share this with Xu Qingran later, and make a video call to see how he was recovering.
After seeing Jiang Qing off, Ye Yan went back to the set to continue filming. In this scene, the Earl suspected him of being disloyal, so he had to be locked in a fairly large iron cage and hung nearly three stories high.
After the crew repeatedly checked that there was no problem with the pulley, Ye Yan, who was ready, entered the iron cage and then locked it with a thick iron chain. After everything was ready, the pulley started to move under the operation of the machine, and the iron cage slowly rose into the air.
Ye Yan himself is afraid of heights, but for the sake of filming, he overcame his fear and went on the show again and again.
He felt okay when the wire was tied to him, but he was afraid that the safety rope was not on him. Looking at the hollow feet under his feet, the daredevil felt a little scared for the first time.
He wasn't scared for too long. When the director said "ready", he immediately got into the role and acted as usual.
