Not counting the preliminary preparations, it took nearly half a year to shoot "Once Upon a Time in Two Cities".
From the cold winter to the midsummer, the shooting location has also changed and changed.
Before the film was completed, Sheng Shisong's birthday was also ushered in.
Sheng Shisong is not a traffic niche, but among the powerful actors, he also has a large fan base. He has not appeared in front of the camera for nearly half a year, and fans are eagerly looking forward to it.
When it came to his birthday, he kept staring at it.
The crew naturally wanted to congratulate Sheng Shisong on this day. Zhuang Yan waved his hand and allowed Sheng Shisong's fans and reporters to visit the class on that day for the first time.
This can make people happy.
Regardless of the fans' desire to see their idols, journalists and media are also very curious about the filming process and movie content of "Once Upon a Time in Two Cities".
"This is the cake prepared by the crew." Sheng Shisong said to the camera, "It's still double-layered, and the weight is very large. It should be enough for everyone."
Three candles were symbolically placed on the cake, and a reporter shouted, "What birthday is today?"
Sheng Shisong blinked: "This is a secret, just treat me as three years old today."
When everyone heard the words, they all laughed together, and the atmosphere was very harmonious.
Sheng Shisong closed his eyes and made a wish: "I wish the filming of "Once Upon a Time in Two Cities" a success."
Someone next to him laughed and said, "It doesn't work if you say your wish."
While talking and laughing, the cake was cut and divided. Xie Ning had no preference for sweets, nor was he used to facing the camera and watching from a distance.
It was only at this time that he discovered that Sheng Shisong was very popular in the crew, and almost everyone, whether it was actors or staff, sent their sincere blessings to him.
Xie Ning thought, maybe because he was kind to everyone.
When it was time to give the gift, Xie Ning didn't expect that he was still found by reporters.
"Hello, are you an actor from the cast of "Once Upon a Time in Two Cities"? I want to interview you, okay?"
Xie Ning was stunned for a moment: "... I'm not."
The reporter blinked: "It won't take much of your time, just a few words."
"You misunderstood." Xie Ning glanced at the photographer behind the reporter, "I'm not an actor."
"Eh?" The reporter said unexpectedly, "How come, you look like a star."
Xie Ning has one head and two big: "I'm really not..."
He didn't know how to explain it. He was about to take out his work card and show it to reporters when Zhuang Yan's voice came from behind him: "He's not an actor, you've got the wrong person."
Zhuang Yan walked to Xie Ning's side and put his hand on his shoulder.
Xie Ning's heart suddenly calmed down and smiled at the reporter.
The reporter said in disbelief: "Isn't it? He looks so beautiful."
The photographer behind her nodded: "Yes, it looks better when you smile."
Xie Ning paused and said embarrassedly, "I'm just a staff member."
The reporter did not know Xie Ning, but knew Zhuang Yan and knew that he was the director, so he immediately turned to him and asked a lot of questions.
"Speak slowly." Zhuang Yan was originally impatient with these interviews, but today he did not refuse for the first time, and gave Xie Ning a reassuring look, "Just ask me."
After the interview was over, Zhuang Yan said to the reporter, "This is our main art, not an actor. Please don't put the footage just now online."
The reporter was stunned for a moment before saying, "But we are live streaming."
…
Xie Ning's birthday gift to Sheng Shisong is a portrait, the shape is exactly what he looked like in the play "Once Upon a Time in Two Cities".
Sheng Shisong's love for this painting is beyond words, even in front of the camera, he is not stingy with praise and praised it fiercely.
Hearing that, Xie Ning's face turned red.
The reporter also wanted to take another photo of Sheng Shisong and Xie Ning, but was stopped by Zhuang Yan.
"He's not used to being photographed, and he doesn't like to show his face outside." Zhuang Yan said, "That's it."
The reporter had to give up.
In the evening, Sheng Shisong invited everyone to have dinner together.
This time, there were no reporters and no cameras, basically everyone from the crew, and everyone was more open.
Zhuang Yan and Xie Ning naturally went too.
As soon as he sat down, Zhuang Yan poured Xie Ning a glass of Coke and said that he was forbidden to drink.
Xie Ning laughed in his heart: "I'm drunk and don't go crazy."
Zhuang Yan glanced at him and said solemnly, "No, it's too attractive for you to be drunk."
Xie Ning: "Aren't you there?"
Zhuang Yan pretended to sigh: "I'm afraid that if you don't pay attention, you will be abducted."
"..." Xie Ning, "I don't have it."
Zhuang Yan: "You are only three years old when you are drunk, and a lollipop can probably deceive you."
Shane was speechless for a while.
Fortunately, Xie Ning is not addicted to alcohol. Today's protagonist is Sheng Shisong, and no one comes to toast, and he is also quiet.
Sheng Shisong was probably tired of being surrounded by a group of people drinking alcohol, so he ran beside them not long after.
After filming for so long, most of the crew members were scolded by Zhuang Yan, and they never came back to ask for hardships. He is here, but it is the place with the fewest people.
Sheng Shisong really liked the portrait Xie Ning drew for him, and even took out his mobile phone to show Xie Ning.
Xie Ning leaned over curiously and found that Sheng Shisong had replaced all the avatars on Weibo with Xie Ning's paintings.
Sheng Shisong: "Fans say the new avatar looks good."
Xie Ning had no choice but to smile at him: "You just like it."
"I like it very much." Sheng Shisong said again, "If there is a chance, I would like to ask you to draw another picture for me, preferably not the one in the play."
Xie Ning glanced at Zhuang Yan, did not respond immediately, but said, "My picture is vivid, mainly because I have a deep understanding of the male protagonist in the play, so I can draw his characteristics, if it is outside the play you… "
He thought about it and said, "I may not be able to draw your charm."
Sheng Shisong smiled: "It doesn't matter, you can draw whatever you want."
Xie Ning: "… Well, if there is a chance, I will definitely help you draw another one."
After the meal, everyone got together and asked the waiter to take a photo, which was also posted on Weibo by Sheng Shisong. Everyone drank some wine, and their faces were a little red.
Sheng Shisong was surrounded by the center, but Zhuang Yan walked to Xie Ning's side. At the edge of the camera, the two leaned side by side.
Zhuang Yan tilted his head and leaned into Xie Ning's ear, as if he was whispering something.
Fortunately, there are many people in this group photo, and there are several big stars, they are not the focus.
After returning to the hotel, the elevator went up to the top floor, and the two said goodbye to Sheng Shisong.
Xie Ning just swiped his card to enter the door, when Zhuang Yan's hot body leaned over behind him and pressed him against the door.
Xie Ning blinked and said, "Don't make trouble." Then he reached out and pushed him.
Did not push.
Zhuang Yan lowered his head and leaned into his ear, with a little dissatisfaction in his tone: "Do you want to paint Sheng Shisong again?"
Xie Ning pursed his lips helplessly, thinking, sure enough, he was still jealous.
The bodies of the two were close to each other, Xie Ning could feel the smell of alcohol in his breath, but he couldn't break free from his embrace, so he had to reach out and grope for the switch next to him to turn on the light.
When the light came on, Xie Ning saw that Zhuang Yan's face was red, and his eyes seemed to be warm.
Xie Ning reassured him: "No... I'll treat him twice."
Only then did Zhuang Yan let go of him, and like a stubborn child, he said, "You are not allowed to paint for him in the future, neither will anyone else!"
Xie Ning had nothing to do with him like this, and said perfunctorily, "I will listen to you."
Zhuang Yan added: "You can only paint me in the future."
Xie Ning looked at him, moved in his heart, and asked, "Are you... drunk?"
Zhuang Yan lowered his head and thought for a long time, then pulled Xie Ning to lie down on the sofa: "I drank a little more today."
Then he glanced at Xie Ning and said, "It's because you have been talking to Sheng Shisong and ignoring me, so I can only drink beside me."
Xie Ning was stunned: "How can I ignore you."
He recalled that he did chat with Sheng Shisong at night, but only for a while.
He knew that Zhuang Yan was possessive and jealous, but he didn't expect that he would be able to take advantage of this for a while.
No, it is to play with wine.
Xie Ning reached out and touched Zhuang Yan's face and said, "Vinegar essence."
Zhuang Yan murmured, "I'm not."
Shainin just laughed.
No matter how jealous Zhuang Yan was, he didn't interfere with Sheng Shisong when he chatted, he just drank stuffy wine by himself.
If it weren't for the fact that he was a little drunk today, it is estimated that Xie Ning would not have found him unhappy.
He has a strong monopoly on Shainin, but also respects his wishes, and is even glad that Shainin can walk out of his own world and communicate more with others.
He loves Shainin, but he doesn't take Shainin as his property.
Xie Ning thought so, and her heart was incredibly soft.
He thought, how could he be so lucky to meet Zhuang Yan.
This man... this man is so good, so charismatic.
Love him so much, give him salvation, and pull him out of the abyss.
The man also gave him freedom and respect.
He can suppress his desires and restrain his own nature.
He just hoped that Shainin could be a better, happier person.
Xie Ning was speechless for a while, and approached and kissed Zhuang Yan.
"Don't be jealous." Xie Ning spoke with his lips, "I only have you, I only love you, and I only draw you, okay?"
Zhuang Yan paused, then hugged Xie Ning even tighter, as if to melt people into his own flesh and blood.
"You said it," he whispered. "You belong only to me."
"Yes." Xie Ning coaxed him softly, "I only belong to you."
Xie Ning thought that after such a conversation, Zhuang Yan's jealousy should be almost eliminated, but Zhuang Yan was still dissatisfied.
He drank the hangover soup and lost sleep again, and suddenly got up and turned over all the paintings Xie Ning had drawn for him.
Xie Ning had no choice but to accompany him to look at the painting and recall the scene at that time.
Zhuang Yan watched it for a while, then took pictures of these paintings, posted them on Weibo, and said, "These are much better than the one you gave to Sheng Shisong."
Finally, Zhuang Yan also @his Weibo.
Xie Ning reluctantly went with him.
In fact, it is reasonable to say that most of his paintings of Zhuang Yan were inspired by casual paintings, and the one he sent to Sheng Shisong was a birthday present, so both the composition layout and the tone lines were much more exquisite.
But he and Zhuang Yan had no objection.
Not only because of his love in these hand-painted paintings.
More because the person in the painting is also the most beautiful in his eyes.
This is unmatched by any of his other works.
What happened on this day, Xie Ning only regarded it as a small episode in the life of him and Zhuang Yan, and a blending agent to promote their emotions.
Unexpectedly, the occurrence of this little episode made him inexplicably become popular on the Internet again.
