Translator: Sissy That Walk

The sacrifice ceremony was scheduled at 8:27 am in the morning, the whole crew were supposed to show up and burn incense to pray for a smooth shooting, chicken, duck, fish, pork and other delicacies would be sacrificed to the Bodhisattva.

Assistant He got up before seven, he woke Qi Le An up and babbled on for a while before he went to his boss’s room.

Qi Le An was still half asleep when Assistant He left, he gave a big yawn and got up, ‘Don’t be late today, join me and my boss for breakfast, all right?’ Qi Le An recalled what Assistant He just said to him.

Qi Le An went to the bathroom to get ready, he felt so touched that Assistant He cared for him. Poor boy didn’t have money for skincare, but luckily he won the gene lottery, his smooth skin didn’t need any product. Qi Le An just put on a simple white T-shirt and a pair of jeans, that was it, it was 7:30 when he walked to Hu Bin’s room.

The room was a train wreck, both Hu Bin and Assistant He were in a flurry, Hu Bin was blowing his hair, and Assistant He heaved a sigh on seeing Qi Le An.

“An! Please hand me the belt over there!” Assistant He looked sulky, “I told him to pick his outfit last night so we don’t need to go over this!”

Hearing that, Hu Bin yawned, “My dearest assistant, don’t be upset, I can skip breakfast.”

Assistant He rolled his eyes, “An is a growing boy, I don’t care you skipping breakfast or not, An needs food!”

Luckily, Hu Bin got ready within ten minutes. And the breakfast Assistant He had ordered arrived at the same time, the three made it to the ceremony at eight.

Lin Xue had arrived as well, but Director. Cui was nowhere to be seen. They had a chitchat while waiting, then some cheering had caught their attention.

They all turned their heads only to see a beautiful man walking towards them with Director. Cui.

Qi Le An’s eyes were wide open, ‘What is he doing here? I don’t recall he was in To Perish Demons!’

“I can’t believe Wei Chang Feng is here!” Lin Xue murmured.

Wei Chang Feng, a legend in show business. He debuted at four years old, he was as cute as a sticky rice dumpling in his childhood, and he was the most popular idol/young actor in his teen years, people of all ages loved him. To everyone’s surprise, Wei Chang Feng decided to take a break for his study when his fan base was at the peak.

Then Wei Chang Feng came back as the only Asian actor in Interstellar, the Hollywood blockbuster. With that Wei Chang Feng became even more prestigious in show business.

Qi Le An had a brief cooperation with Wei Chang Feng in his last life, he called him ‘Wei Sama’ in the heart for he admired Wei Chang Feng so much! And… and Wei Chang Feng covered his body in the hospital… Qi Le An’s feelings towards Wei Chang Feng were complicated.

Qi Le An was overjoyed, he had always thought it would take him years to cooperate with his Wei Sama.

Director. Cui and Wei Chang Feng were walking towards them while Qi Le An was in a trance, Lin Xue and Hu Bin greeted Wei Chang Feng respectfully, Qi Le An stood behind them and heard Director. Cui said, “Changfeng will be the Grandmaster in the show, it takes much effort to clear this national treasure’s schedule for us.”

Director. Cui sounded so proud, he showed a triumphant smile.

Wei Chang Feng had won a few ‘Best Actor’ titles when Qi Le An passed away in his last life, his name alone was for sure the endorsement of great ratings and top box office. It was 2011 now, he just came back with his Hollywood movie Interstellar, but he had gained even more popularity compared to when he was younger.

Qi Le An recalled Wei Chang Feng now just finished shooting a movie called the Yangtse River, ‘How come he agrees to shoot an idol drama?’

Qi Le An stared at Wei Chang Feng’s profile, ‘So handsome and graceful, he exudes warmth and refinement like polished jade,’ thought Qi Le An.

Wei Chang Feng seemed to have noticed Qi Le An’s stare, he turned the head sideways and looked at Qi Le An with a gentle smile, Qi Le An’s heart skipped a beat.

Qi Le An acted like a robot in the whole ceremony, he could only copy what others were doing for all he had in his mind was Wei Chang Feng. It baffled Qi Le An that where went wrong, for he recalled Wei Chang Feng shot a spy drama after he finished the Yangtse River in the last life, but how come he was here in an idol drama!

It seemed like some people’s life trajectory had changed alongside with his reborn… …

Wei Chang Feng mainly played opposite Hu Bin in the drama, Qi Le An only had one scene together with Wei Chang Feng the Grandmaster. Bell, Qi Le An’s role had accidentally heard the conversation between the Grandmaster and the Mysterious Man, but Grandmaster didn’t kill Bell, he helped Bell to transform to human instead. There was no lines even, but Qi Le An was still on cloud nine.

Wei Chang Feng’s schedule was quite tight, so the crew would shoot his part first. They went directly to work after the ceremony, Hu Bin looked quite nervous for he was about to shoot with Wei Chang Feng.

After a few bloopers, Hu Bin got the hang of it and the shooting became much more smooth. The busy morning just flashed by amid the great atmosphere.

Wei Chang Feng said goodbye to everyone and went to his trailer for lunch and a short break.

Excitement was written all over Hu Bin’s face when Qi Le An left, “Gee! Wei Chang Feng definitely lives up to his name! He is awesome!”

Assistant He came back with three boxed lunch, he handed Qi Le An one and said to Hu Bin, “You are in luck, you’ve got the chance to learn from the best actor!”

“Of course I will learn!” Hu Bin squinted his eyes as he was still savoring the moments he had with Wei Chang Feng, “The hearsay is true, people say Wei Chang Feng always make his opposite player feel comfortable?”

“How come?” Qi Le An couldn’t help but ask, “Shouldn’t you feel nervous?”

Director. Cui shook his chopsticks, “No, I mean, yeah, in the beginning, but he would take the lead and soon you are your character!”

“Now let’s dive in,” Assistant He chimed in, “You are going back to the set after a short break after all.”

Hu Bin sighed and started to eat, and so did Qi Le An.

The lunch provided by the crew didn’t excel in quality, but surely it excelled in quantity, they all felt quite full. Qi Le An took the empty trays and put it back to the recycling kiosk.

Qi Le An walked past Wei Chang Feng’s trailer on his way back, he couldn’t help but halt by the trailer, he could only see black curtains hanging on the window, but he knew Wei Chang Feng was inside.

The door was pushed open when Qi Le An was about to leave, Wei Chang Feng walked out of the trailer.

Qi Le An was dumbstruck, Wei Chang Feng didn’t expect to see anyone near his trailer, he said hello after a brief stare.

Qi Le An was to nervous to say anything, he stammered after a litter while, “He.. hello, I’m Qi Le An.”

Wei Chang Feng smiled again, “Ha, I know you, we have a scene together.”

‘He knows me!’

Qi Le An was even more nervous, “I’m… I’m a huge fan, I… I really admire you!”

Wei Chang Feng’s assistant now walked out from the trailer as well, he burst into laughter as he heard what Qi Le An said.

Qi Le An blushed crimson.

Wei Chang Feng cast a glimpse t his assistant with a touch of blame in the eye, the assistant stopped laughing and went back to the trailer for get an autographed photo for Qi Le An.

Wei Chang Feng handed the photo to Qi Le An, “Please accept it.”

It was a stage photo from Yangtze River, Wei Chang Feng was topless in the photo and he was staring at the vast river with melancholy in the eye, he looked so muscular and tanned amid the light of early dawn.

Qi Le An took the photo with both hands.

Wei Chang Feng smiled politely at the boy and walked away with his assistant, saving Qi Le An the trouble of racking his brains for words.

Qi Le An walked back to Hu Bin and Assistant He in a daze.

Hu Bin and Assistant He were bantering as usual when Qi Le An was back. Hu Bin asked Qi Le An to be the judge and decide who was the villain between them, Assistant He put on a straight face, “Enough, take some rest now! You are up after Wei Chang Feng’s part!”

Hu Bin pouted and made a face at Qi Le An, then he walked back to his car reluctantly.

Qi Le An stared at Director. Cui and Wei Chang Feng who were talking in the distance, he was lost in thought… …
