[Translation] Night Voyage on Dream River (梦河夜航) - Yan Xue Jie (严雪芥)

 

Synopsis:

If we’re talking about the two hottest stars in the entertainment industry right now, among actresses it’s definitely Lou Yu, and among actors it’s Wen Xueshi. Yet they are completely unfamiliar with each other.

Their only collaboration was a low-budget web drama back when they first started out, and they had no contact after that. Unexpectedly, their next collaboration years later would be on a reality show.

Wen Xueshi, with his hair slicked back and dressed in a suit, extended his hand to Lou Yu with a gentle expression, smiling as he said, "Long time no see." She smiled back and extended her hand in return.

The pressure of their handshake was light, polite, and distant.

Not like back then, when he gripped her wrist so hard it hurt in that cramped rental room, the two of them squeezed together on an old sofa, passing a single cigarette back and forth between them.

That was even earlier than the time they shot that web drama.

They worked as stand-ins for big-name stars, only qualifying to appear in front of the camera when the cameras were off. Audiences never knew that the silhouettes of the male and female leads in that hugely popular movie’s conceptual poster—back in the day—were actually them.
