The Film Emperor Asks For Divorce Every Day 影帝每天都想离婚[穿书] Ch. 32

Translated by Neirith

“Actually, if the male lead were switched to Zhong Huan, then he could pair up with Tan Keyao. A pairing of a handsome man with a beautiful woman, it’s all the same. Ling Qing is too transparent. He’s handsome, but he doesn’t have the fans.”

“If I remember correctly, filming will start soon, right?”

“Fuck! Don’t you want to leave some censored words?”

“But who wants to partner with a small transparent star? Tan Keyao is unwilling and she’s a second tier actress. Will the crew need to look for an 18 tier?”

“Of utmost difficulty.”

“Say, do you think Zhong Huan will leave too? Of the leftover actors, he’s the biggest name and he’s still playing second male lead? I feel really sorry for him.”

When Zhong Huan’s fans saw this, they all cried. They even privately messaged his agent saying things like, “Leave this, for our brother can’t play with a little transparent newcomer. Even the heroine left, this work is definitely going to fail. Really not a vital work.”

Zhong Huan’s agent checked Tan Keyao’s Weibo and couldn’t help but frown. 

By leaving, Tan Keyao had plastered her thoughts of popularity right onto her face. It was understandable, but somewhat immoral.

It was unknown who would replace her as the heroine. She turned her head to see Zhong Huan, and saw that he was playing games with his legs crossed, seemingly without care for his anxious fans. 

‘Alright.’ The agent thought, ‘Since the boss doesn’t want to leave, let’s just stay.’

‘Anyways, it’s only a two month process, there’s nothing to lose.’

There was a lot brewing online, but Ling Qing remained calm and checked the forums as well as his Weibo in a relaxed manner. 

Chen Hongming’s fans were unwilling to let him go, so they quickly turned it back to  him. 

“I just knew there would be a problem with this. Who would want to raise an 18th tier? Tan Keyao herself wanted to use Chen Hongming’s status. Would she want to help Ling Qing? No, she ran away.”

“If you asked Chen Hongming to be the first male lead, then nothing would have happened. Now, the heroine is gone. Who are you going to ask to save the day?!”

“Switching from Chen Hongming to Ling Qing, if I were Tan Keyao, I’d run too.”

“Although everyone looks down on the traffic, the traffic is steady. If Chen Hongming stayed, would Tan Keyao be indisposed? Afraid not, afraid it might spread to the crew too.”

As Ling Qing watched the fans bouncing around, he thought for a moment, then registered an alt and posted——《New Heroine Decided for March Peach Blossom Smile, Top Tier Actress, Please Await the Official Announcement》

Soon as his post appeared, new discussions sprouted. 

“This poster must be joking. If Tan Keyao wasn’t willing to act with Ling Qing, would a top tier actress? You dreaming?”

“Is the poster a book fan or a Ling Qing fan? Still dreaming. Let’s be realistic, the moment this work was changed from Chen Hongming to Ling Qing, it was bound to fail.”

“There’s only a few top tier actresses. They’re either all working or planning a break. Just who is the poster referring to?”

“Does the poster think that anyone above Ling Qing is top tier? Hahaha.”

“Speaking of which, isn’t Ling Qing one of Morning Rise’s? March Peach Blossom is also one of Morning Rise’s, so could it be Qin Yanyu?”

“Are you kidding me? Qin Yanyu play the heroine for Ling Qing? Is Ling Qing the boss of Morning Rise? Why would they treat him so well?”

“Impossible, Qin Yanyu just finished filming and said she was going to take a break. How is it possible for her to pick up another job?”

“Eliminate Qin Yanyu, she has nothing to do with Ling Qing or March Peach Blossom Smile. Don’t bullshit.”

“Fake news, I don’t believe Qin Yanyu will act in this, nor do I believe Morning Rise thinks so highly of Ling Qing. Is the poster a Ling Qing fan or a book fan? Is this high fantasy or the last dying gasp?”

“Ling Qing has fans???? Where are his works? How come he has fans?”

“The original poster doesn’t need to say anything. They already have a good face. Yesterday, they put on a lot of powder when they showed their face.”

“Is that so, let me go see.”

There were a lot of comments, but Ling Qing only watched and didn’t reply. The less he spoke, the more everyones’ desires for discussion were heightened. This eventually resulted in hundreds of threads discussing bent on unveiling the truth while simultaneously discussing Ling Qing’s appearance. 

Seeing that his goal had been accomplished, Ling Qing left the forums and went back to reciting his lines. 

Two days later,《March Peach Blossom Smile》officially announced that Qin Yanyu would star as the heroine, Zhao Anning. 

Qin Yanyu’s fans were shocked and, while posting comments under the official Weibo, also went onto Qin Yanyu and her agent’s pages to question them. 

Over the past few days, netizens had eaten a lot of melons while watching the drama surrounding《March Peach Blossom Smile》.They felt that it was like a series of episodes, one after another, endless. 

“Oh my heavens, the heroine turned out to be Qin Yanyu. I thought it would be a random 18th-tier. I didn’t expect the bike to be a motorcycle.”

“Original poster, what are you saying, Qin Yanyu should be considered a supercar. Tan Keyao changed into Qin Yanyu, the crew has made it big.”

“666, if March Peach Blossom Smile isn’t smiling, I don’t know what to say. The crew is definitely smiling. Really great, this entire drama is ready to rise.”

“In his first work, he encountered Qin Yanyu. What kind of background does Ling Qing have? There is definitely strong support from Morning Rise for this newbie.”

“Let it go. God knows who is raising him. Little reds were raised, big reds are fated. Does Ling Qing have this kind of fate?”

“The previous poster is a Chen Hongming fan. The jealousy is overflowing through the screen. Why so much envy? Why so much hate?”

“Chen Hongming needs someone to be jealous for him? Look in the mirror, how many fans does Chen Hongming have? How many does Ling Qing have? Ling Qing can’t fill his shoes!”

“Hey previous Hongming fan sis, stop bouncing around. People invited Qin Yanyu and it suddenly turned into filling Chen Hongming’s shoes? What kind of beautiful dreams do you have?”

“You should care about where your bro’s next work is coming from instead. After such a long time, it was officially announced that a newcomer will be playing He Chaoyang. Aren’t you ashamed?”

“Hahaha, are you ashamed, are you ashamed? Wasn’t he unwilling to audition? He wasn’t even PK by a newcomer. What a shame [funny]”

“Maybe he was afraid to fail the audition, that’s why he didn’t go. That way, Chen Hongming still has a name for himself.”

“Hahahahahaha.”

Chen Hongming’s fans grit their teeth as they tore up the thread and reported the post. 

Someone remembered, “Didn’t someone post two days ago that the heroine of Peach Blossom had been selected and it was a top tier actress?”

“Right, right right, I remember nobody believed it at the time.”

“It seems as soon as Tan Keyao left, the crew got in touch with Qin Yanyu.”

“There seems to be more than that. I bet it was prepared in advance with Qin Yanyu, that’s why she agreed so quickly.”

“I would have prepared in advance too.”

“Now the outcome is really good! The male lead is a plastic model, the female lead is pretty and popular. The peach blossom should be really satisfied, the peach blossom turned into a duck!”

“Turned into a duck! Come on crew, keep it up!”

Amid all the blessings,《March Peach Blossom Smile》officially began filming.

The day prior, Yun He had already sent an assistant to send Ling Qing to the set. With great difficulty, Yu Chen got off work early and felt an indescribable feeling of discomfort when he saw Ling Qing packing a bunch of bags.

“Why are you bringing so many things?”

“We’re filming for three or four months. This doesn’t count as many, there’s a lot that I didn’t bring.” Ling Qing announced. 

“Just make a list of things you forgot and I’ll send it to you some other day,” Yu Chen said. 

When he heard this, Ling Qing abruptly raised his head and looked at him.

Leaning against a cupboard, Yu Chen asked, puzzled, “Why are you looking at me?”

Ling Qing smiled and walked over to the table, grabbing a pen and paper as he scribbled two words. He folded it, and handed it to Yu Chen. “Don’t forget to bring it to me.”

Yu Chen opened it to see that it clearly read —— Xiao Yu.

Yu Chen: …

Ling Qing leaned close to him and said, “Oh darling, don’t forget~”

Yu Chen said nothing and looked on helplessly as he slid the note into his pocket. 

—

At seven o’clock that evening, Ling Qing’s assistant, a sunny boy, arrived. Ling Qing invited him to dinner before they got in the car and left for the set.

When Yu Chen watched him leave, he felt uncomfortable. That night, he laid on his bed alone and felt inexplicably lonely. 

He and Ling Qing hadn’t been sleeping together for long. That is to say, it was incomparable to the 26 years he had spent sleeping alone. 

But it was to be expected. After having some sugar, one didn’t want to drink medicine. After being accustomed to company, one didn’t want to go it alone. 

Yu Chen found that he missed Ling Qing a little.

As soon as the other had left, he had begun to think of him.

Even before he had left, he might have begun to miss him. 

Under the cover of the night, Ling Qing and his assistant entered the hotel booked by the crew.

Yun He called him asking, “Are you there yet?”

“We just got here.”

“That’s good.” Yun He sat up in bed and said warmly, “I can’t represent you as your agent for the time being. You understand, right?”

“Of course.”

Although he had successfully auditioned for the role of He Chaoyang, Chen Hongming’s fans seemed to have thought he stole the role from him. 

If, at this time, Yun He appeared beside him, it would only take a word from Chen Hongming to turn it into a ploy by his agent. 

This would damage her image and help Chen Hongming sell misery. Yun He didn’t want this, and Ling Qing likewise did not want this. Therefore, the best choice was her to stay away for a while. 

When Yun He heard his “of course,” she felt it was great to talk to someone smart. 

“Even though I think you should be able to solve your own problems with the crew, I’m your agent so you’re always welcome to call me.”

“Okay.”

“Then go rest. We’ll keep in touch.”

“Yes.”

After Ling Qing hung up the phone, he opened WeChat and sent Yu Chen a message: [I have arrived.]

Seeing his three words, Yu Chen could only urge him, [Film well. If you have any problems, tell me immediately.]

Ling Qing: [OK~]

The two of them chatted for a while before Ling Qing took a shower and went to sleep. 

A night full of good dreams.

—

The next day, the crew officially held the opening ceremony, and the executive producers burned incense as they spoke amicably with each other. 

The only thing was that this occurred with other people. There was nobody around Ling Qing except his assistant. 

Qin Yanyu stood with the actress playing the second female lead, Jiang Yingying, discussing the latest fall goods. 

Zhong Huan and the third male lead, Zhou Hao, stood together as they joked around. 

It was only Ling Qing who had nobody around him, and it was quite a pitiful sight. His assistant, Xiao Liu, couldn’t help but feel sorry for him, feeling that his actor was too sad. It was clear that he was being pushed out. 

As he thought this, he couldn’t help but look over at Qin Yanyu, complaining to himself: They were both from the same company and she was the biggest name here. How did she not know to help Ling Qing, even a short greeting is fine.

Seeing the dissatisfaction in his eyes, Ling Qing felt it was unnecessary to stick around. “Let’s go.”

“Go where?” Xiao Liu asked. 

“Naturally, it’s to change clothes and apply makeup. Don’t I have to shoot soon?”

Nodding, Xiao Liu followed him into the dressing room. It wasn’t until Ling Qing left that Qin Yanyu finally glanced toward him. 

She had seen the videos of Ling Qing on the internet, and at the time, had wondered if the person truly looked like that. 

With a single glance, it was confirmed that he actually looked better in person. 

But, what was the point of good looks?

Wasn’t she pretty too?

She didn’t understand why Ling Qing was afforded special treatment by Yu Chen. Was it because he looked good?

No, Yu Chen wasn’t so superficial. 

She didn’t understand, but she understood that she was jealous of him. Thus, even though she came to act with him, she didn’t like him.

Who would like their love rival?

Even if Ling Qing and Yu Chen weren’t in the type of relationship she imagined them to have, the special treatment Yu Chen gave him was enough to make her jealous of him and hate him.

“Sister Qin, did you see Ling Qing?” Jiang Yingying asked.

Qin Yanyu smiled, “I just saw him.”

Jiang Yingying didn’t know her thoughts about Ling Qing, so she could only smile and say, “He’s very handsome, really lucky.”

Qin Yanyu nodded and replied, “He isn’t just lucky, he is very lucky.”

She spoke in a calm voice that held no signs of unwillingness or envy. 

When Jiang Yingying heard this, she echoed, “Yeah, really good.”

—

After changing his clothes, Ling Qing was prepared to apply makeup when Zhong Huan walked in and sat opposing him, waiting for the artist to apply makeup to him as well. 

Ling Qing glanced in the mirror and when Zhong Huan happened to meet his eyes, Zhong Huan turned his head in disdain. 

---

Ling Qing: I’m going to start gathering younger brothers ~~ The kid who’s ignoring me right now is my first target ~~

Zhong Huan: ??? I’m afraid you’re crazy!

Ling Qing: Don’t worry, you’re the first, but you’re not the last~~

Ling Qing’s circle will be pleasant, after all, he’s a real big name ~~ What people can do, he can do, what people can’t do, he can also do ~~
