The Villain Just Want to Be a Slacker [Transmigration]

On October 16th, filming for 'After the Rain' officially began.

This was He Jinyun's first time directing without any external assistance.

To be honest, at first, Ye Zexi had been a bit worried.

However, from the moment He Jinyun began discussing the scenes with Ye Zexi and Tang Jing in the morning, that concern quickly disappeared.

After one scene was discussed, Ye Zexi felt even more at ease.

Seeing this, Tang Jing couldn't help but comment when He Jinyun left, "You seem more relaxed than before."

Ye Zexi smiled and said, "You noticed again!"

Tang Jing shrugged with a grin, "Your expression was too obvious. Director He must have noticed too, but since I was here, he didn't say anything." Since the day before, Tang Jing had started addressing He Jinyun as "Director He."

In the production crew, about half the people still referred to He Jinyun as "Emperor He," while the other half, like Tang Jing, had started calling him "Director He."

Yesterday, Ye Zexi had also planned to playfully call him "Director He" a couple of times, but before he could even say it, He Jinyun cut him off.

"Be serious!"

Remembering this, Ye Zexi's smile deepened slightly.

"Looks like I'll have to tone it down a bit," Ye Zexi remarked.

Tang Jing made no comment.

The first scene soon began.

Ye Zexi always slipped into character quickly, and Tang Jing wasn't bad either. After a flawless scene between them, the set was filled with applause.

He Jinyun stood up from behind the monitor and gave both of them a thumbs-up.

Ye Zexi returned the smile.

From there, the filming proceeded smoothly.

Unbeknownst to Ye Zexi, He Jinyun had put in a lot of preparation behind the scenes and was meticulous in every detail. On set, he was a perfectionist, strict and demanding.

However, as soon as filming wrapped, when it was just Ye Zexi around, He Jinyun would turn into a completely different person—lazy and affectionate, always asking for kisses and even pouting when he didn't get one.

But Ye Zexi was the only one who got to witness this change.

Ye Zexi enjoyed it immensely and felt even more at ease.

If there was anything that made this sweeter, it was the fact that everyone around them knew about their relationship. For couples in the entertainment industry, what could be more satisfying than showing off their love without worrying about what others thought?

For Ye Zexi, this was incredibly important—he was never the type to hide things.

Being in the same production as He Jinyun was also because he wanted to spend more time with him.

And so, in the 'After the Rain' crew, this kind of scene unfolded daily—

After finishing a scene, Ye Zexi would eagerly bounce over to He Jinyun's side before He Jinyun could say anything.

Every time, He Jinyun would first offer Ye Zexi some fruit or water before standing up to give directions to the other actors.

Though He Jinyun was usually easygoing, when it came to filmmaking, he truly lived up to the reputation of someone trained by Chen Zhengtian, sharing the same level of strictness.
