Chapter 161 Don't hurt him again
Knowing that the company had a way to reduce the impact on "Chang Sheng", Chi Yuan felt relieved.
When he returned to the film set, he was radiant and completely recovered, as if the turmoil of the previous night had never happened.
Seeing him like this, the crew assumed that Tianyu had found a complete solution, and the atmosphere on set became more relaxed.
Director Yang even praised you with a smile: "Putting everything else aside, your mentality alone makes you a natural fit for the entertainment industry."
Chi Yuan is now like a company employee who has achieved financial freedom and is ready to resign at any time. His mindset is not just good, it's simply invincible.
He has achieved all his goals in entering the industry, except for this drama.
Chi Yuan: "Director Yang, I have some new ideas that I'd like to discuss with you."
Director Yang is very supportive of actors' creative work, and upon hearing this, he immediately took it seriously and said, "Tell me in detail."
"Immortality" is a major IP; given the novel's length, at least three books would be needed to complete the entire series. Only if the first book is well-made can the second book be filmed smoothly. Mr. Jiang bought the entire copyright to "Immortality," intending to produce a trilogy, so he absolutely cannot let Mr. Jiang down.
A good ending directly affects the audience's expectations for the second part, even if the protagonist of the second part may not be him.
Of course, he also had a secret thought in his mind: if the actor who plays Xu Changsheng in the future does not perform as well as him, will Mr. Jiang think of him for a moment and say regretfully?
If Chi Yuan were here, that would be great.
Just thinking about it made Chi Yuan feel full of energy, his emotions so intense they almost overflowed the screen.
"Good, very good, that's the infectiousness..."
Director Yang excitedly cheered repeatedly.
For most actors, the emotional and acting performances follow a parabolic trajectory. When they first join the crew, they are still getting to know each other, and their emotions and acting are slightly lacking. By the middle stage, they are familiar with the plot and the actors are familiar with each other, so their acting reaches its peak. Then, in the later stages, because the filming time is too long, people get tired.
However, Chi Yuan was different. His performance improved steadily from the first day he joined the cast, getting better and better as the series progressed. This performance perfectly matched Xu Changsheng's character in the drama, from a naive mortal boy to a respected figure in the immortal sect.
On the monitor, Xu Changsheng created a sword technique within the illusion. His mental state broke through, his realm loosened, and his tightly closed eyes suddenly opened, revealing a clear mind. In that clarity, something seemed to be quietly growing, breaking through the soil and sprouting, eventually growing into a towering tree.
At the peak of his emotions, Xu Changsheng leaped up from the ground, holding a green bamboo stick, and began practicing the sword technique he had just created by the cold pool.
The movements were designed by the martial arts director long ago, but Chi Yuanwu's movements were somewhat different. His sword was lighter and more agile, and there was a touch of ethereal beauty in his killing.
The martial arts instructor exclaimed in surprise, a hint of astonishment flashing in his eyes.
Director Yang excitedly called on the cameraman to shoot from multiple angles. He originally thought that the artistic conception had to be rendered by post-production special effects, but he didn't expect Chi Yuan to bring it out directly through dance.
An actor like this is bound to become famous!

City S.
Jiang Haochen went straight to the hospital after leaving the airport.
If Assistant Chen could find the hospital where Ms. Lin was, the gossip reporters could naturally find it too. When Jiang Haochen arrived at the hospital, Gao Cheng's ward was crowded with reporters.
Currently, the only video available online is one of Chi Yuan's stepfather, Gao Wanfu, speaking out. Chi Yuan's mother, Ms. Lin, has not yet been interviewed, and all the information is relayed by Gao Wanfu.
Reporters are eager to get firsthand information, and they've been camped out outside the ward since last night. As soon as the door opens, countless microphones and cameras are pointed at them.
"When did Chi Yuan sever ties with you?"
Could you describe your usual way of getting along?
"Has Chi Yuan come to visit my younger brother who is sick?"
"Is it true that your husband said Chi Yuan earns hundreds of thousands a day but is unwilling to spend a single penny on his brother's illness?"
"Are the brothers on good terms?"
"Some people say you never raised Chi Yuan at all, and that you're just trying to ride his fame to extort money for your youngest son's medical treatment. Is that true?"
……
Anyone who asks this kind of question at a time like this is obviously someone arranged by Li Weiran.
Under these circumstances, it would be almost impossible to avoid everyone and meet Chi Yuan's mother alone.
Jiang Haochen pulled his hat down, turned and walked outside, taking out his phone to contact a friend: "Do you know anyone at S City People's Hospital?"
Meanwhile, in the ward.
Gao Wanfu was arguing with his wife Lin Fang. Gao Wanfu forced Lin Fang to go out and meet the media: "Go out and tell the media that your eldest son is heartless, ungrateful, and doesn't recognize his own mother."
Lin Fang looked haggard and refused to agree: "Didn't we already get 300,000? What more do you want?"
Gao Wanfu: "300,000 is not enough. With Chengcheng's illness, 300,000 can only last for six months. To completely cure him, who knows how much more money will be needed. Get out and force your eldest son to contact you."
Lin Fang shook her head: "He won't contact me. I've never supported him for even a day."
Gao Wanfu: "Didn't you hear what that person said? Chi Yuan is incredibly popular right now. If he wants to continue his career, he has to reconcile with us. We don't need much, just two or three million to cure Chengcheng's illness."
Lin Fang: "Chengcheng's condition has stabilized. The doctor said that he just needs to take his medication on time every month. With your salary plus the help of his grandparents..."
Enraged, Gao Wanfu threw what he was holding at the crowd: "It's all gone! How are we supposed to live? Your son can earn millions just by making a few pornographic films. What's wrong with taking some of his money? They're brothers; what's wrong with the older brother saving the younger?!"
"dad."
Suddenly, a weak, boyish voice rang out in the ward.
When the couple realized their son was awake, they both fell silent and tacitly stopped arguing.
Just then, Lin Fang's phone rang. It was Gao Cheng's attending physician, saying that the test results were ready and asking her to come to his office.
Gao Wanfu originally wanted to go with him, but he was afraid that if he left, the reporters outside would rush in and disturb his son's rest, so he had no choice but to stay.
With the help of a hospital nurse, Lin Fang finally managed to squeeze past the reporters and enter the hospital office.
"Dr. Pan, is Chengcheng's illness...?"
Dr. Pan smiled kindly, walked over and closed the office door: "Chengcheng's condition is stable. I called you over because there's something else."
Lin Fang asked in surprise, "What's wrong?"
"I need to talk to you." A tall figure walked out from the lounge.
Jiang Haochen took off his glasses, looked at the face in front of him that bore a resemblance to Chi Yuan's, and said in a low voice, "Hello, I'm Jiang Haochen. I'm here to see you about Chi Yuan."
Lin Fang naturally recognized Jiang Haochen and knew that Chi Yuan was currently working at Jiang Haochen's company. Perhaps because she felt guilty, Lin Fang appeared very awkward in front of Jiang Haochen.
Jiang Haochen led the woman to the inner lounge. He tried to maintain his composure; his upbringing wouldn't allow him to yell at a woman. However, his voice still betrayed his anger: "Do you want to completely ruin Chi Yuan?"
Lin Fang instinctively denied it: "No."
Jiang Haochen: "Then what do you want?"
Lin Fang bit her lip, lowered her head, and dared not look into Jiang Haochen's eyes.
Jiang Haochen: "You want money to cure Gao Cheng's illness?"
Lin Fang raised her head again, looking at Jiang Haochen with hope and guilt in her eyes.
If you feel guilty, then there's still hope.
Jiang Haochen: "You haven't responded directly to the media until now. Can I assume that you still have some feelings for Chi Yuan?"
Lin Fang's eyes showed even more guilt.
Jiang Haochen: "If you're short of money, go directly to Chi Yuan. He might give it to you. Why didn't you go to him first, instead of going directly to the media?"
Lin Fang said softly, "I...don't have Chi Yuan's contact information."
Jiang Haochen: "You never raised him, right?"
Lin Fang nodded: "Yes. But I had no choice at the time. Chi Yuan's father is a madman. If I took Chi Yuan away, he wouldn't let it go."
"You have your reasons, but that's no excuse for hurting Chi Yuan," Jiang Haochen said directly. "I can give you the money, but you have to promise me one thing."
Lin Fang looked up: "Go on."
Jiang Haochen: "You went to give a media interview and personally told the media that although Chi Yuan is your son, you have never raised him for a single day. You personally told him not to disturb your new family. It is you who disowns him, not the other way around. This time, the media suddenly broke the news because your husband is desperate to save his son and wants Chi Yuan to pay for his treatment. These are all facts."
Lin Fang's lips trembled slightly: "Then...then we...we'll be scolded to death."
Jiang Haochen sneered: "You're afraid of being scolded, but what about Chi Yuan?"
Lin Fang fell silent.
Jiang Haochen suppressed his anger: "You're not even willing to be scolded to save your son? It seems you don't really want to save your other son either. In that case, forget it, let's just go to court. The facts are the facts, and the public won't be kept in the dark just because you keep quiet. I've already sent people to your hometown to investigate, and I believe many people know your story. I came to you not because we can't handle this, but because I don't want Chi Yuan to continue to suffer. I thought that even if you had a shred of maternal love left, you would agree to this method that could save both of your children at the same time."
Jiang Haochen stood up and was about to leave.
Lin Fang cried out anxiously, "Are you really going to give me the money?"
Jiang Haochen: "Yes, consider it as paying to sever your blood ties with Chi Yuan."
Lin Fang's eyes darkened slightly: "I'll think about it."
Jiang Haochen handed her a business card: "I'll give you a day. Think it over and call me."
Jiang Haochen walked to the door, then suddenly turned back and asked, "How old was Chi Yuan when he came to find you?"
Lin Fang was stunned for a long while before replying blankly, "I don't know."
Jiang Haochen felt a sudden pang of pain in his heart. He couldn't imagine how Chi Yuan felt when he went to find his mother with such anticipation.
He was afraid that Chi Yuan would be too young at that time and would squat on the ground crying helplessly. He was also afraid that Chi Yuan would be old enough to understand things and wouldn't even be able to cry and act spoiled.
How he wished he were there.
"You are not allowed to hurt him again."
Jiang Haochen's voice trembled slightly, but his tone was undeniably cold.
