Must read: This was something I came up with in the middle of the night and hence the absurdity of it. It is hard to explain so I guess the best way to find out is by reading it through. I know it will be very confusing at first but please try to follow through. I promise it will get funnier as the story progresses. Although I have yet to indicate pairings, you can assume it will be Fei Long orientated, may it be MikXFei, AsamiXFei, YohXFei or even AkiXFei (WHAT?!).
Behind the Scene of ViewFinder Prologue - Before the First Cast Meeting
Takaba Akihito
When Takaba Akihito walked through the glass automatic doors and entered the main lobby, he thought his dream might finally be coming true. It was only a few weeks ago that his manager had informed him that he was casted as the protagonist in the highly anticipated series by director Yamane Ayano.
Akihito was beyond surprised when he was notified. He has been in the business for about three years now, but until recently, no one had really heard of his name.
He couldn’t really blame the public for his lack of popularity. And the fact that he belonged to one of the most talented Show Business: Club Sion Talent Agency, didn’t help his personal image either.
Akihito is handsome and very good-looking by all common standards, but yet when put against his co-stars from the agency, he lacked the shine to compete. It always frustrated Akihito, to only be given a minimum amount of photo-shoots as well as only one to two cameo appearances on screen.
His latest photo-shoot took place three weeks before receiving the good news. His manager had told him that director Yamane Ayano had come across his photos by accident and once she saw Akihito’s naked photo, she immediately demanded Akihito to be casted as the series’ protagonist.
Well, I guess photo-shoots do pay off after all, Akihito thought to himself.
What came as the biggest surprise wasn’t the news that he was casted as the protagonist, but that he would be cast alongside the two biggest names in the agency as well as in the show business: Asami Ryuichi and Liu Fei Long.
Akihito was so happy he almost ran naked through the halls of the agency. To be casted alongside those two big names was unreal!
Lady Luck must be watching over me, he thought as he and his manager entered the elevator.
“Aki, just remember to stay focus. Even though it is only a simple meeting, you still want to show director Yamane what you got.” Akihito’s manager mumbled as Akihito smiled and nodded.
I know, he thought to himself again. No way am I going to mess this up.
Akihito closed his fists tight as the elevator door opened. His manager led him to a big room at the end of the hall. On the door was a paper labeled “You're My Love Prize in Viewfinder”.
My life is going to change forever, and with that last thought, Akihito pushed open the doors that will forever change his career.
Liu Fei Long & Mikhail Arbatov
Pushing back some of the beautiful black hair from his gorgeous face, Liu Fei Long sighed under his breath. He had been so overworked recently at times he thought he was going to collapse from exhaustion. Being one of the biggest names in business definitely has its price.
“Fei? Are you alright?” Fei Long slowly looked up to a face filled with genuine concern.
The handsome blondie sat by his side and handed him a bottle of water. The blond man positioned himself a little closer to Fei Long to make it more comfortable as Fei Long finally leaned his head against the shoulder of the other man.
“Thanks Misha.” Fei Long said as he closed his eyes and enjoyed the warmness of the other.
Mikhail Arbatov chuckled a little and turned into a more serious tone upon seeing how tired Fei Long truly was, “You are way overworked, aren’t you? You should take care of yourself more often.”
“We both know that isn’t quite possible, don’t we? At lease I have you to take care of me. Hopefully the next cast won’t be as painfully stupid as this one. My head can only answer to so much stupidity… Ah, that feels good.” Fei Long said without opening his eyes and moaned a little as Mikhail’s cool hand began to massage his temples.
“Just take it easy. I heard from my manager that Yamane sensei will be directing the next cast, so it shouldn’t be too bad. But…”
“But…?” Fei Long opened one of his eyes and stared up into a pair of blue ones.
“Well, I heard that one of the leads was a rookie from our agency. And the other lead…I haven’t gotten a clue who is it. I guess sensei is trying to keep everything below the radar before shooting begins.”
“Oh GREAT. A rookie. Exactly what I need.” It wasn’t hard to hear the sarcastic tone in the black hair beauty’s voice. It wasn’t just sarcastic; his voice was pretty annoyed as well.
“Look at it this way. If he is from Sion, then he couldn’t possibly be as bad as this.” Mikhail pointed to the stage indicating a crying actor who is currently on his seventh NG.
Fei Long closed his eyes again without replying to Mikhail’s comment. He didn’t need to. Mikhail knows him better than he knows himself. If Mikhail said it was going to be alright, then it will be alright.
He and Mikhail had been put into numerous photo-shoots and films together. The particular chemistry between them was hard to explain. Let’s just say they really work well together. They are best partners. When put together, they hardly ever NG, and always so flawless.
The two of them are such a power house duo that even directors have a tendency to put them on screen together. Apparently director Yamane thought the same.
“Misha…” Fei Long whispered.
“I know. I will wake you up when it is over. Just sleep.” With a smile on his lips, Fei Long peacefully fell into a nap with Mikhail still massaging his temples and gently kissed the smaller man on the forehead.
Asami Ryuichi
It was one in the morning and Asami Ryuichi finally was dropped off at his apartment. Just as he turned the nob and opened the door, a blur of yellow shot out and pounced on him, forcing the man to be pushed onto the floor.
“Eli. Down boy, down.” Asami rubbed the head of his beloved Gold Retriever, but the Retriever by no means was listening to his master’s command. It wiggled its tail and passionately licked his master on the face.
Asami lied there and played with his dog until the Retriever was so exhausted that it retreated to its comfy corner and went to sleep right in front of Asami.
The man shook his head and picked himself up off of the floor. He needed a shower, but more importantly, he needed food. He had not gotten anything down his stomach except for the left over sandwich he grabbed on his way out this morning.
He walked into the kitchen and turned to the fridge. The fridge was full of ingredients for meals and meals that could last for weeks, but instead of taking out ingredients to make a decent meal, Asami grabbed a bag of Instant Energy Jelly.
While forcing the funny tasting Jelly down his throat, Asami suddenly wished he had the luxury of sitting down and enjoying a hot meal. The more he thought about it, the faster he gulped that Jelly down and tossed away the plastic when he was done.
Now, a shower. He thought when his attention was caught by a script on his glass table.
On the cover, it was title “You're My Love Prize in Viewfinder”. The name sounded familiar, where did he hear it? As he was about to flip through the script, his cell phone began to ring.
“Asami.” The man answered.
“Asami-san. This is Yamada. I forgot to inform you about the cast meeting tomorrow morning at 8:30 a.m. I have placed the script on your coffee table, go ahead and take a look at it before the meeting. I will pick you up at 7:00 in the morning if that’s ok with you.”
“Yes. That’s fine. I will see you in the morning.” Asami hanged up and tossed the phone onto a nearly by futon. No wonder the name sounded so familiar, he thought.
His finger danced across pages of script but never actually stopped to look at any one page. After five minutes, he was so tired he decided to toss the script onto the futon as well and headed for a quick shower instead.
After throwing his clothes into the laundry basket, Asami made his way into the shower. Hot water immediately covered his entire body. He could feel his muscles relaxing as the water hit his body.
It was exactly what he needed after a long day of work.
Asami stayed in the shower for another ten minutes before coming out. As he dried his god-liked body, he looked at the digital clock on the shelf. It was two fifteen in the morning already.
He thought about taking the time to dry his hair, but thought against it as sleepiness slowly crept up on him. Without putting another second to waste, he crawled up to his gigantic California King Size bed and slipped under the sheets.
Sinking into the comfortable bed, he thought about the script and then fell into a silent slumber.

And that is the Prologue. Please tell me what you think about it. Comments will be greatly appreciated. I totally understand if you decide to throw tomatoes at me. It is ok. Some reaction is better than no reaction at all. This is definitely AU and OCC, so just treat it as a fun little twist on the entire series so that I can satisfy my want of Fei Long being the protaginist. CHEERS!
