Chapter 91
The overall security measures for Undercurrent this time were very well done. Various pieces of information were strictly blocked from inside out. Even lead actors like Su Tang and Jiang Ning were seeing the true finished film for the first time.
The overall length of the film was over two hours. Until the final ending song finished, everyone in the cinema was still immersed in that airtight sorrow and the faith that inspired reverence. Su Tang’s portrayal of Chen Nuo stayed in everyone’s hearts for a long time.
That young police officer had sacrificed himself, yet he lived on in everyone’s hearts.
The lights in the cinema came on again. It was unknown who in the crowd started clapping first, but then the applause rang out like thunder. The premiere of Undercurrent achieved unprecedented success.
Everyone attending the premiere realized that after Undercurrent was released, no one would ever question Su Tang’s strength again.
Such a young actor was actually more suited to be a “beautiful flower vase” in terms of image. Many people had previously believed Su Tang would only be a character who deliberately acted cool but was hollow in this film. Anyone would have seen him as a “pembroidered pillow” (all show and no substance) air-dropped into the role.
However, no one could have predicted that a “flower vase” could interpret a role to such a transcendent degree. When acting opposite various Movie Kings, he was not inferior in the slightest, presenting a visual feast of extreme enjoyment for all the audience.
Chu Xiaoyun was sitting right next to Su Tang. He turned and relief-filledly patted Su Tang’s hand.
“Xiao Su, you didn’t disappoint. You performed very well.”
Su Tang hadn’t expected Director Chu to praise him like this. He was stunned for a moment before reacting. He smiled toward Chu Xiaoyun and said, “Thank you, Director Chu. It’s mainly because of your excellent guidance.”
In truth, Chu Xiaoyun was someone who rarely praised others. He was very strict with every actor during filming. He would repeatedly deliberate and guide every detail and emotional transition. Su Tang had been scolded quite a bit by Chu Xiaoyun during those two months of filming.
Those in the circle knew that Chu Xiaoyun had a strange temper. Countless people wanting to curry favor with him couldn’t figure out his preferences. However, there was one point everyone was clear on: Chu Xiaoyun loved talent and cherished it even more.
Su Tang had talent and worked hard. Today, he had received Chu Xiaoyun’s recognition, which also proved his ability to shape a character. From now on, in the circle, he would be a “hot commodity.”
Even if Su Tang might not take on new roles for a short time due to his pregnancy and child-bearing, his reputation and strength were established here. Good scripts willing to wait for him would only be more, not fewer.
Su Tang possessed a humility rare in young people. Chu Xiaoyun could see that this child truly loved acting. Despite being only in his early twenties, he wasn’t impetuous at all when acting; he could endure hardship and was willing to put in effort. Who wouldn’t love such a good actor?
In fact, as early as a few days ago when the finished film was cut, he had already wanted to custom-make a movie belonging to him. Originally, choosing Su Tang for Undercurrent was mainly considering his image was very suitable; he hadn’t expected to have picked up a treasure.
Amidst the thunderous applause, Chu Xiaoyun led the group of actors to rise, turn, and bow to the audience in thanks. When leaving the stage, he patted Su Tang’s shoulder.
“Xiao Su, let’s collaborate again when there’s an opportunity in the future.”
By this time, they had already reached a place the audience couldn’t see. Ye Chiyu, holding Su Tang’s water bottle, walked toward him with large strides. Su Tang waved to the Alpha and smiled politely.
“Okay. Thank you, Director Chu.”
“Mhm.” Chu Xiaoyun responded. He didn’t disturb the young couple and went straight toward the back door with his assistant to head to a neighboring province for an inspection.
“Are you tired?”
Ye Chiyu placed the thermos in the little Omega’s hand, watching Su Tang take two sips of water before putting his arm around him to lead him toward the lounge.
Hu Baobao followed behind them with the pre-prepared bags. As soon as they entered the lounge, she laid out the fruit and snacks she had prepared long ago, sitting to the side and staring at Su Tang with a smile.
“Baobao, why are you staring at me so blatantly?”
Having sat for too long, Su Tang’s waist was a bit sore. He didn’t care much and simply rubbed it while skewering a piece of fruit to start replenishing his energy.
Pregnant people were prone to feeling hot. Su Tang took off his jacket as soon as he entered the room. Ye Chiyu, worried the little guy would catch a cold, draped the discarded jacket over his shoulders again and then began to massage the Omega’s waist.
In less than a minute after entering the room, they were already being stuffed full of “dog food.”
Hu Baobao looked at Su Tang, who was being perfectly served by President Ye, and gave a Hehe laugh. “Isn’t it because I haven’t seen you in a long time? It seems your days of prenatal care at home lately have been very comfortable. Your face has gained quite a bit of flesh.”
Upon hearing this, wasn’t it clearly saying he had gotten fat?
Su Tang stopped eating fruit and reached out to pinch the flesh on his face. He felt it was indeed more than before. He turned back somewhat angrily and glared at the Alpha who was massaging his waist.
“Ye Xiansheng, it’s all your fault… making me eat so much every day…”
It was all because Ye Xiansheng provided him with good food and drink every day at home; he had nurtured him into getting fat.
Ye Chiyu, who was relaxing his little pregnant husband, only felt like blame had fallen from the sky. He let out a sigh and somewhat forcefully pinched Su Tang’s slender waist, which didn’t have a bit of flesh, his tone quite mournful.
“Tangtang, the person who couldn’t sleep in the middle of the night and wanted to eat roasted chicken wings wasn’t me.”
“The person who got up while I was sleeping to sneak food… doesn’t seem to be me either.”
“I…”
Su Tang was instantly speechless. He opened his mouth but ultimately couldn’t say anything.
“You…!”
He didn’t know what was wrong with him. Since getting pregnant, especially starting from last month, he would suddenly have a moment every day where he really wanted to eat a certain thing. He could even accept durian, which he never ate before. The development of events was simply not something he could control.
“Hahahaha, all pregnant people are like that. Actually, Su Tang, you haven’t gotten fat at all. I was just joking!”
Hu Baobao, watching the drama from the side, finally couldn’t help but laugh. She didn’t stay here to continue blocking them. Su Tang’s pregnancy break also conveniently gave her a vacation—a paid vacation at that. Thus, she resolutely decided to give herself a trip abroad.
“I’m leaving! President Ye, I’ll leave Su Tang to you.”
Ye Chiyu nodded. After he and Su Tang watched Hu Baobao leave, he quickly pulled the little guy—who couldn’t win the argument and was about to start feeling aggrieved—into his arms, kissing the little person thoroughly. Only then did the grievance dissipate.
On the way home, sleepiness overcame Su Tang. He fell asleep in the Alpha’s arms as soon as he got into the car and didn’t wake up even when they reached home.
Having been nurtured at home lately, he hadn’t been this tired in a long time. Ye Chiyu heart-pointedly touched the little guy’s soft hair and carried him directly into the house.
Su Tang slept through until the afternoon before slowly waking up. Finding that the Alpha wasn’t in the room, he shuffled into the bathroom in his slippers with sleepy, misty eyes, dangling his toothbrush as his mind wandered.
The Alpha, who had come up to see if he was awake, leaned against the door. Su Tang finally finished brushing his teeth. Just as he closed his eyes and stretched, the Alpha’s overbearing kiss covered him, kissing Su Tang’s ears until they turned red.
