A Walk-on Actor Who Wants To Be A Baker Chapter 5: The Same Sugar Daddy

Fang Qiao hadn't contacted with his agent for a long time, so he was surprised to get his agent's call in the early morning. What was more surprised, his agent said that he took a TV play of the Republican period of China and asked Fang Qiao to get to the crew as soon as possible.

Fang Qiao knew of this TV play, which was supposed to be funded by his company, Xingzhou Entertainment and it had started to shoot several weeks ago. Being informed at this time, it was obvious that he was put in this crew specially.

Fang Qiao guessed that it was a small gift for his good service to Lu Yanzhou last time. Suddenly, he was a little complacent. He wanted to show off to Lin Yao that he was not free to sleep with others.

Speaking of Lin Yao, Fang Qiao thought of the meeting that day which finally parted on bad terms. After that, Fang Qiao hadn't met Lu Yanzhou for a long time nor heard any news that he went to Lin Yao. As expected, the dissolute and amorous Mr. Lu was half-hearted.

The shooting spot of this TV play was at this city, so Fang Qiao reported to the crew that afternoon. He didn't know that he would act as a servant of an influential family until he got there.

From now on, he got one more walking-on in his acting career.

There were few scenes and lines of Fang Qiao in this TV play, but he had to stay at the filming site every day. He had no choice. Supporting actors like him had to arrange their scenes according to the leading roles' arrangement and they had to be on call. Because once the leading roles pushed off their parts for some reasons, such as being in a bad mood, the following parts had to be advanced.

For example, the hero of this TV play was a new guy who enjoyed high popularity, Han Jiayue.

With outstanding look, Han Jiayue was packaged as a pretty boy which was very popular among girls recently. Although he was not an artist of Xingzhou Entertainment, he still got the hero of this TV play, which showed his extraordinary backing

The pretty boy Han was the last one to arrive at the set every day and always took a sudden leave of absence from time to time. But no one in the crew dared to blame him.

This day, when Fang Qiao came out after his makeup was done, he happened to see a black Benz driving in, thinking that it must be Han Jiayue.

However, the car was really familiar. Fang Qiao squinted his eyes and looked at the number plate, only feeling shocked.

It turned out that pretty boy's sugar daddy was the same one with his!

Why could Han be chauffeured and also star a TV series while he was just a walker-on? Such a big gap between their treatment!

The Benz had been staying outside for a long time, but no one got off. Fang Qiao felt a little cold after waiting for a while, so he went back in house to wear a coat and poured himself a cup of hot tea. When he came out again, Han Jiayue finally got off from the pa.s.senger's seat hurriedly.

As a popular young star, Han Jiayue payed attention to his appearance very much. At usual times, he always dressed himself meticulously if he appeared in the public. However, at this moment, his hair was a little messy and his fair face showed a sense of flush.

Fang Qiao got a clue and he was shocked suddenly.

Now he knew why they were treated differently. It turned out that he was not motivated enough.

At the driver's seat, Lu Yanzhou zipped up his pants with a satisfied look and jokingly scolded, "What a tempter!" Then he stepped on the accelerator and drove away.

In the next few days, once seeing Han Jiayue, Fang Qiao couldn't help but start imagining. And he always put his eyes on Han Jiayue, as if he would learn something from Han Jiayue if he took him several more glances.

One day, Han Jiayue finally found something strange. When Fang Qiao put eyes on him again, he directly turned to Fang Qiao.

Fang Qiao was a little embarra.s.sed when he was caught suddenly. He wanted to turn his head aside to pretend nothing had happened, but he was stopped by Han Jiayue.

"Hey, do you want my signature?"

"Don't be shy." Han Jiayue smiled to Fang Qiao, took out his mark pen to scribble on paper and then gave it to him, "Here you are."

Fang Qiao took it over embarra.s.sedly, thinking that the pretty boy's smile was really sweet, no wonder that lecher Lu Yanzhou would like him.

Fang Qiao had been staying at the set for a month. He got to the film site at 9 a.m. and worked off at 5 p.m. every day except the times when they needed to shoot night scenes, which made him like an office worker now.

Fang Qiao thought this kind of life was really cozy with work and money and needn't to sleep with Lu Yanzhou.

Near the end of the year, Xingzhou Entertainment organized a New Year reception according to the usual practice. Fang Qiao took a day off to the crew, returning back home early to change a white suit, so that he could arrive before the reception started.

A red carpet was laid out at the entrance to the venue and a number of reporters crouched around, paying their attentions to every guest coming here.

In these two years, Xingzhou Entertainment transformed successfully under the management of Lu Yanzhou. It signed many well-known artists, even including several artists who were at the level of Best.

Fang Qiao didn't entered in until those stars had walked the red carpet, and then he went straight to the dining area, intending to enjoy a quiet luxurious meal.

He was at the lowest level of company, which meant that few people knew him and even fewer knew that he was kept by Mr. Lu as a lover. So he gormandized all the time without caring his image.

Lu Yanzhou, who made the opening speech on the stage, was in a dark blue velvet formal suit today. Fang Qiao glanced up at him while enjoying the cake, thinking the man who became serious was attractive.

"Fang Qiao!" There was someone calling him.

Fang Qiao put down the cake and turned back. Yech, wasn't it his old teammate?

He Yuan was the one to host a variety show after his solo career, and the one who had the best relationship with Fang Qiao in that boy band.

With high emotional intelligent and the gift of gab, he was just like a duck in water when hosting a variety show. Fang Qiao heard that his appearance fee was now higher than the single set fee of many actors.

The superstar host hooked Fang Qiao's shoulder, as if they were still the trainees in those days.

"It's been a long time, Fang Qiao. Are you busy recently?" He Yuan asked while handing over a cup of wine to Fang Qiao.

Fang Qiao, who kept distance with wine at usual times, didn't refuse him and drank it freely for he was happy to meet his old teammate.

"Just some walkers-on to earn a living."

"Do you need to earn a living yourself?" He Yuan smiled and lifted his eyebrows in the direction of Lu Yanzhou, "Mr. Lu couldn't be so stingy."

Mr. Lu was indeed generous, but only to that kind of type like Han Jiayue.

Fang Qiao filled their cups with wine and sighed, "Brother Yuan, performance is very important in every industry." 

"That's it!"

The two men sighed, drinking up the wine.

After a couple of gla.s.ses of wine, the conversation began.

Maybe He Yuan hadn't vented for a long time, he complained a lot taking the rare chance. He said so-and-so newer put on airs and began to lose temper when the program was halfway recorded; so-and-so male star was really wretched in private for he secretly took advantage of female stars in the games...

Fang Qiao was serious at the beginning, but later, became more and more confused as the alcohol began to work on his brain and couldn't understand what He Yuan said, only nodding to reply him.

"Fang Qiao, it's really hard to survive in this industry."

Of course, he was too tired now that he only wanted to get some sleep.

"Fang Qiao, another toast!" 

The goblet was filled up again. With a clinking touch, Fang Qiao drank another cup in a daze.

"Fang Qiao, when can you drink so much? You can't even drink a cup of wine before... Fang Qiao, where are you going?"

Lu Yanzhou walked here and there all through the night to greet people, and his face became stiff for wearing the smile for too long. When he thought he finally found a gap to take a break, he was b.u.mped by someone in his chest as soon as he turned around.

"I need a hug!" The man in his arms made a m.u.f.fled sound.
