Now when the media come asking, they have to act like it’s been like this all along, as if all they needed was to not get inquired about: What’s wrong? Do you have an issue with our Jesse and Zhang Yue’s celestial friendship? What? The gap is too big? Where is it huge? The bond remains unchanged, just like old friends, you know?
But after both agents cooled down, they thought, it’s not necessarily a bad thing.
The public actually enjoys teasing about these things, even if they aren’t CP fans. Zhang Yue’s side has also signed the contract for “Mandarin Ducks,” and they’ll continue to collaborate in the future. So afterwards, Ling Jie sent a video to Zhang Yue, who was on vacation. “I’ve dealt with the media; the teasing is still quite… interesting. In the future, you guys should take your drafts in this direction, just as good buddies and friends, musically compatible…” As she spoke, she saw Zhang Yue making a gesture to interrupt, “?” Zhang Yue mysteriously said: “Ling Jie…” Ling Jie: “?” Zhang Yue: “I’ll tell you, actually, I want to pursue Qi Shejiang.” Ling Jie tilted her head back, spitting blood, “Pfft—” . . Before the holiday ended, on the 12th, Qi Shejiang joined the cast. When Qi Shejiang had no scenes, he would sit with Mo Sheng and Qi Leyang. Now everyone knows they are teacher and students — let’s just say, they are similar in age, but when the three sit together, you can feel from their aura that Qi Shejiang is the one acting as the teacher, exuding the atmosphere of an antique vase.
Due to this relationship being exposed, netizens began to discuss whether the two students should be considered privileged guests or treated as royalty.
Mo Sheng and Qi Leyang’s roles were originally quite ordinary, but because they practiced with Qi Shejiang, they caught the attention of Tang Shuangqin, who wanted to give them extra scenes — and that became a slight highlight.
While shooting that scene, they organized dozens or even hundreds of pet actors, all reacting naturally. The extras just had to walk around holding dogs and birds, while Mo Sheng and Qi Leyang imitated dog barks, resulting in a perfect performance.
