On May 21, Pei Shaoze returned to the crew.
Seeing the familiar figure from a distance, Pei Shaoze was just about to walk towards Cheng Xia when Cheng Xia just turned around.
The young man first opened his eyes slightly, and after meeting his gaze, he immediately showed him a bright smile. Those clear and bright eyes, through the vast sea of people, suddenly looked into the bottom of his heart.
Pei Shaoze's heart softened, and he immediately strode to Cheng Xia.
Cheng Xia took the initiative to ask, "President Pei is back!"
Pei Shaoze's eyes were gentle: "I heard that the crew is going to finish ahead of schedule?"
Cheng Xia nodded: "Well, the recent shooting progress has been relatively smooth. It was originally planned to be finished at the end of the month, but the task was completed a week ahead of schedule."
Today happened to be the finale of the filming, and after the filming, the finale banquet was held, which is why Pei Shaoze rushed back to the crew. The staff at the scene were ready, and the assistant director was shouting: "Cheng Xia, it's about to start!"
Cheng Xia smiled and said to Pei Shaoze, "Then I went to the studio?"
Pei Shaoze nodded: "Well, let's go."
Cheng Xia came to the boulevard, matched Shen Kai's lines, and then folded a boat on the spot and stuffed it in his pocket as a prop. Director Liu waved to the two of them: "Are you ready? Ready to start!"
The cameras at the scene started to work, and Cheng Xia and Shen Kai walked side by side to the boulevard.
Today's weather is very good, the sky is clear, the tree canopy overhead blocked most of the sun, only a few fragments fell on the two of them, the breeze was blowing, the light and shadow were mottled, two high school students in school uniforms, walking side by side, this A scene was recorded by the camera, and it was as beautiful as a fresh and natural landscape.
When they walked to the middle of the green-shaded path, the two looked at each other and smiled for a moment. Cheng Xiacai suddenly took out the folded paper boat from his pocket and handed it to each other: "I have a gift for you, I hope you will have smooth sailing in the future."
Shen Kai took the paper boat and found that there seemed to be words on it. He opened it out of curiosity and saw that it was written in meaningful handwriting, neatly written: I want to be admitted to the same university as Lu Fengyang, and I will always be there. Together - Qin Nian.
Shen Kai's hands trembled slightly, he looked up at the young man in front of him, the young man's smile was warm and bright, his eyes were full of him, he finally couldn't help stretched out his arms and hugged Cheng Xia hard. inside. Cheng Xia also stretched out his arms and hugged him back gently.
After a long time, Director Liu shouted: "Card!"
The effect of the finale was great, but to avoid some regrets, if President Pei had not insisted on clearing water to the end, there should be a kiss scene here.
Pei Shaoze don't say it's a kiss scene. Just now he saw Shen Kai looking at Cheng Xia with that kind of eyes, seeing Cheng Xia looking at Shen Kai wholeheartedly and hugging each other back. I don't know if I will lose my patience and interrupt the shooting directly.
Fortunately, the two separated after the director called to stop.
Pei Shaoze stood up and said indifferently, "You two have worked hard. The banquet is still on the 3rd floor of the hotel in the evening."
There was warm applause around: "Great!" "It's finally finished, congratulations!"
It took nearly three months from mid-February to mid-May, and the filming of this drama was finally completed. Although there was an accident that Cheng Xia was stabbed in the middle, the overall progress was smooth.
The atmosphere of the killing banquet was high that night. Director Liu came to the stage and said a few words excitedly. He was toasted by everyone. He drank it directly, took Pei Shaoze's hand and repeated: "Mr. Pei, I have seen you before. The best producer in the world, hahaha, there will be opportunities to cooperate in the future!"
In the end, screenwriter Xu dragged Director Liu away.
Shen Kai also drank some wine and pulled Cheng Xia to speak with a smile: "Cheng Xia, from your brother's point of view, you will definitely be popular in the future. I have made so many online dramas, and you are the most dedicated Omega I have ever seen. actor… "
Cheng Xia was embarrassed by the praise, and hurriedly said: "You are also very good at acting, and you have taught me a lot of things. If you have the opportunity to cooperate in the future!"
Pei Shaoze didn't drink a drop of wine today, and when he saw two people chatting together, his eyes turned slightly cold - later? I won't give you the chance to be together again. Cheng Xia, from today on, forget about Shen Kai, it is enough to have me by your side.
Pei Shaoze walked over to block Cheng Xia behind him, and said indifferently, "Shen Kai, your performance in the "Folding Paper" crew is excellent this time, come on."
Shen Kai was stunned for a while, but he didn't expect President Pei to suddenly appear to talk to him. He immediately sobered up for seven minutes, stood up in a hurry, and said respectfully, "Thank you, President Pei for giving me this opportunity."
Pei Shaoze looked at Cheng Xia with gentle eyes: "Come with me."
Cheng Xia followed sensible.
Most of the staff around were drinking, and the whole venue was a mess, but not many people paid attention to the two of them. Pei Shaoze took Cheng Xia to the stairwell and closed the door. When he met the boy's eyes, his eyes gradually softened: "Are you full?"
Cheng Xia smiled brightly: "You called me over just to ask if I'm full?"
Pei Shaoze raised his lips slightly, stretched out his hand naturally, and touched Cheng Xia's head affectionately: "Of course there are important things I want to discuss with you. Do you feel tired just after finishing a drama? If you are asked to continue filming the next drama, will your body be able to bear it?"
Cheng Xia hurriedly said, "It's okay, I don't feel tired at all! I like filming, but I'll be bored when I'm idle."
Pei Shaoze said: "Okay. After returning to Rongcheng, you and Zhou Yan will come to my office and talk about the future arrangements in detail. As for now..."
Cheng Xia wondered: "What now?"
Pei Shaoze looked down at his watch and said, "Go back to sleep."
Cheng Xia: "..."
Alas, President Pei is really stricter than his father, does he even have to manage his schedule? However, it was almost eleven o'clock in the evening, so Cheng Xia had to nod obediently: "Then I'm going to bed, and President Pei will go back to rest early!"
Looking at the boy's back, Pei Shaoze thought, there will be nothing to do with Shen Kai in the future, the Alpha by your side can only be me.
***
The next afternoon, the crew returned to Rongcheng.
Zhang Fan didn't know the relationship between the boss and Cheng Xia, so he still booked the seats of Cheng Xia and Shen Kai together when booking the first-class ticket. This time, Pei Shaoze took the initiative to wink at his brother, and Pei Shaoyan immediately ran over and said, "Hey, Brother Cheng Xia, can we change the seats? I still have something to talk to Brother Kai."
Cheng Xia got up helplessly: "Okay, talk to your idol slowly."
Pei Shaoyan sat next to Shen Kai and blew a rainbow fart. The two chatted happily, and Cheng Xia came to the seat next to President Pei.
Cheng Xia seemed to have developed a habit. When the plane flew together, he was so sleepy that he would doze off. His head kept clicking like a chicken pecking at rice. He opened his eyes and glanced at the visor, then fell asleep again.
In order to prevent him from accidentally bumping into the sun visor again, Pei Shaoze simply put Cheng Xia's head on his shoulder. The boy found a pillow in his sleep, and as expected, he calmed down, hugged Pei Shaoze's arm, and fell asleep contentedly.
It's amazing to think about. The last time everyone flew Ya'an together, Pei Shaoze's body was still a little stiff when Cheng Xia took the initiative to lean over, and he was not used to that kind of intimacy. But this time, he took the initiative to take Cheng Xialou into his arms.
The young man leaned against him quietly and slept with his arms in his arms, which made him extraordinarily satisfied.
The feeling at this moment is like a kitten who trusts him and relies on him, sleeps obediently in his arms, he stretches out his hand and gently touches the kitten's head, it will change the depths of his heart be soft and warm.
The cute little guy leaned on himself defenselessly, really wanting time to stand still in this moment forever.
Cheng Xia slept all the way in a daze, and when he woke up again, the plane had already landed.
He found that he not only leaned on President Pei's shoulders, but also hugged President Pei's arms with both hands, which was obviously an inch to treat President Pei as a human body pillow. Cheng Xia's ears turned red instantly, and she lowered her head embarrassedly and said, "I'm sorry, President Pei, I... fell asleep again."
You also know it's "again"
However, get used to it.
Pei Shaoze suppressed his smile and said softly, "It's okay."
If you want, I will make you a pillow every time you take a plane in the future.
***
The next morning, Cheng Xia came to President Pei's office with his agent.
Pei Shaoze wore an iron-gray suit and a formal tie. He looked serious and abstinent. He looked handsome from any angle. Cheng Xia's heart was beating like a drum, and he lowered his head behind his manager and whispered, "Mr. Pei. "
Pei Shaoze beckoned: "Come and sit."
The two sat down on the sofa next to them, and Assistant Zhang handed the two folders to Zhou Yan and Cheng Xia respectively.
Pei Shaoze said: "Cheng Xia has just finished filming one movie, so it stands to reason that there is no need to rush the next one. However, there is a good opportunity right now. You all know about Shu Yue's retirement some time ago? In the drama, we were going to find Shu Yue as the male lead, but the two sides were talking about signing a contract, but Shu Yue suddenly found out that he was pregnant and quit the circle to beat people. The crew had no choice but to find someone else to replace him."
Zhou Yan's heart trembled: "Do you want Cheng Xia to replace Shu Yue's role?"
With the popularity of Shu Yue before his retirement, the crew who dared to find him is definitely not bad, maybe it is the first line in the circle! Zhou Yan hurriedly opened the folder, and the words "Director Zhu Zheng" caught her eye. Her eyebrows jumped: "Director Zhu's team? I remember that Director Zhu's dramas have always been highly rated. I heard that he is very strict. No matter how big the star is, he will scold him whenever he says he scolds him, and he has scolded people and cried before...
Pei Shaoze nodded calmly: "Yes."
Cheng Xia had also heard of the director, and couldn't help but curiously opened the folder and looked at the crew information.
After a while, Pei Shaoze looked at Cheng Xia and asked warmly, "How is it, are you interested in this project?"
Cheng Xia raised her head and said, "President Pei, is the role that Shu Yue is going to play the male lead forensic doctor?"
Pei Shaoze: "Well, the protagonist of this show is a professor of forensic medicine. Shu Yue has a gentle temperament and fits the character. The film just found him."
Zhou Yan frowned and whispered, "However, our Cheng Xia's popularity is not as popular as Shu Yue, can the producer agree to let a newcomer Cheng Xia play the leading role? Moreover, Cheng Xia's image does not seem to match. The suave forensic professor..."
Pei Shaoze said lightly, "I didn't say let Cheng Xia play the forensic doctor."
Cheng Xia's eyes lit up, and he immediately understood what he meant: "Pei always wants me to play the male supporting role in the play, a young and passionate police intern?"
Pei Shaoze nodded: "The Alpha male supporting actor who was originally determined to play with Shu Yue is Zhou Sheng, a second-tier actor in the circle, and he directly refused to act after Shu Yue retired. Maybe he thought that without Shu Yue, this drama would not work. It will definitely be mushy."
Cheng Xia: "..."
Cheng Xia, who is Zhou Sheng, has also heard of it. He is an idol star who has become popular in the circle in recent years. He is very popular, but he has not produced a masterpiece. He has been working hard to transform into a powerful group. He originally signed the show, perhaps because he wanted to play with a "first brother" like Shu Yue, and wanted to gain some popularity from the "first brother" and increase his popularity in the circle.
Now that Shu Yue is gone, he is too lazy to be the male supporting role for an Omega who is not as famous as him, so he does not hesitate to terminate the contract with the crew. Although this approach is a little more powerful, it is also excusable. However, Cheng Xia felt it was a pity, the plot of this drama is really good.
Cheng Xia was a little worried: "But the trainee policeman in this show is an Alpha. If I come to cross the line, will the director be willing?"
Pei Shaoze said: "After Shu Yue's withdrawal from the circle, the crew and Zhou Sheng wasted more than a month. At present, the two main actors who were originally scheduled have left, and the crew has no choice but to open the audition and choose the role again. Will the director want to? Yes, of course it depends on your performance."
Pei Shaoze originally wanted to find a suspense-themed drama for Cheng Xia to shoot, but he did not expect that after Shu Yue retired, he searched and found this treasure script. The protagonist's forensic temperament in the play is too gentle and cold, and Cheng Xia can't control it, but the young criminal policeman who plays the same role is very suitable for Cheng Xia's image. Let Cheng Xia play Alpha, which can broaden Cheng Xia's play, and the topic is also very hot.
Cheng Xia's appearance is sunny and handsome, and there is not much softness of Omega on his body. The sunny and cheerful boy wearing a police uniform and a gun will definitely be handsome!
If the Omega actor can play an Alpha role, then Cheng Xia will have a bright future, and he will not worry about the crew looking for him.
The key now is whether Cheng Xia can convince the director.
Pei Shaoze said calmly, "Cheng Xia, if you were able to convince Director Liu and the original author of Folding Paper, I believe that you can also make Director Zhu admire you. How about it, try it?"
Cheng Xia clenched his fist hard - such a good opportunity is in front of him, how could he back down? Director Zhu is indeed a bit scary and often scolds the actors to cry, but a strict director will also be of great help to the improvement of the actors' acting skills. How many Omega actors in the circle can really do the reverse Alpha? Such a role, played well, will definitely make him addicted to the show.
Cheng Xia took a deep breath and said seriously, "Mr. Pei, I'm willing to try!"
Pei Shaoze looked at the boy gently.
Don't be afraid, just try it, I will escort you by your side and accompany you to the top.
