Your Rival in Love Gets Prettier Every Day

Chapter 157: Hugging You

They slept throughout the entire flight, and when they came out of the airport, it was already dark. Neither of them could go back to the hotel to rest. Bai Qingquan was going to record a variety show, while Shen Jintai had to rush to the set of <Welcome Rain on a Spring Night>. After filming, he has to go to Nancheng Sports Arena to participate in his birthday celebration rehearsal.

"The day after tomorrow, I will see what time the variety show can be recorded. If I have time, I will join you." Bai Qingquan said. He wanted to appear at Shen Jintai's birthday party to support him and to use the opportunity to promote <When You're Older>. It was like killing two birds with one stone.

Shen Jintai said: "If you want to come, tell me in advance, or tell Sister Lan and the others."

The two hug and he couldn't stop sneezing. Bai Qignquan patted him on the back and said: "You should pay special attention to your body for these few days and don't get sick.

"I've been too tired recently." Shen Jintai hadn't slept enough.

"This is going to trouble Director Hong." Bai Qingquan said with a smile.

Shen Jintai smiled and watched him get into the car. Only then did he go to the filming set accompanied by Xiao Tang and others. Exhausted, he fell asleep in the car on the way there.

When he arrived on the set, Li Meilan immediately handed him two cups of hot coffee to warm and refresh him up. The coffee was ineffective as he fell asleep again while makeup was being applied on him and he couldn't hide his fatigue.

"Fortunately, the recent scenes I have to act fatigued, so this state is good." Shen Jintai laughed as he took a deep breath before arriving on set.

As soon as Qiu Hong saw him, he said: "Congratulations."

The opening for <When You're Older> have exceed box office expectations and everyone in the crew knew it and were happy for him. After all, the more popular Shen Jintai is, the more favorable their movie box office will be in the future.

Shen Jintai filmed until 4 AM before sleeping in his RV for a while. At 8 AM, he took a few bites of breakfast before he started filming again. He continued until 4 PM and then took a car to Nancheng Sports Arena.

Tomorrow was the 29th, his birthday. He had been too busy recently with all his schedule colliding together that the rehearsal time had to be squeeze out. This was his only chance to rehearse. Without any stage experience, this was more stressful to him than acting.

The Nancheng Sports Arena can accommodate tens of thousands of people. Tickets were given out, and even then, it wasn't enough. The number of gold powders were far too large. From elementary and middle school students to aunties in their 50's and 60's, his fans cover over four generation of young to the middle-aged.

All the tickets for this event were free. Despite the ticketing process was strictly controlled, many still fell into the hands of scalpers and the price set for them was sky high. Many fans spent copious amount of money and rushed thousands of miles away just for this event. The 29th would be the coldest time of the year. Shen Jintai was worried that if he didn't perform well, it'll disappoint all his fans enthusiasm.

The stage was an unfamiliar territory for him, and it was even more difficult to cooperate with the band. After rehearsing all night, it was still a mess. He began to feel regret about holding this event.

"You used to sing and dance very well," Li Meilan said: "It's only been a few years yet you're this rusty?"

"That's all I can do." Shen Jintai said wearily.

Seeing that his eyes could barely stay open, Li Meilan said: "Go back and get some sleep first. Let's discuss it again and see which parts can be cut off. I think you can't keep up with your physical strength now so you can cut off a little bit of your dance portion. Bring in more background dancers."
