The blood is shocking.
There were also drops of blood flowing down the bedside table and her hands, dripping onto the white sheets, like the cruelest flowers blooming in suffering.
The strong visual impact made everyone present want to say something at that moment, but they seemed to be speechless.
Sun Ming felt guilty but still tried his best to prove to everyone that his mother was crazy: "Would a normal person write with blood? Only a crazy person would do that. How could a crazy person say that he is not crazy? She dares to cut her own hands now, and she dares to cut your necks in the middle of the night. You all should stop being nice guys!"
These words made everyone present frown.
There was no sign of concern for his mother, instead he just wanted to take her away.
Several doctors and nurses stood in front of Grandma Sun, making it clear that they were stopping Sun Ming from getting close.
The doctor said directly: "Sir, please calm down. Our hospital will naturally respect the patient's wishes. As for the patient's mental problems you mentioned, we will also do a detailed examination. Please don't get excited."
Sun Ming's expression became more vicious: "Don't meddle in other people's family affairs! Otherwise, you won't know how you died!"
These were threatening words, but he was the only one saying them, so naturally, so many people present would not be afraid of him.
Everyone nodded.
Lin Yanyan rubbed her eyes and said, "My goodness, did I leave the village or not?"
What happens next will naturally be left to the police and the law, and it is not their turn to worry about it.
Jiang Jing also smiled gently: "Yes, I think it's good too, and it's a good ending."
The director and Song Zeqian first apologized to other guests and some staff members who were unaware of the situation, stating that although they had made preparations, there was still a possibility that everyone would be put in danger.
"Well done!" Ye Lu patted the director on the shoulder, with a rare look of appreciation in his eyes: "I didn't expect that the director, who looks so cowardly, is still determined to do great things. He also lets us participate in such a meaningful thing."
Lin Yanyan smiled with her eyes curved, and waved her hand: "Lifetime free meal card for everyone!"
The police arrived at the scene, the filming of the program was interrupted, and irrelevant personnel left.
How come this kind of poultry is still seen everywhere
The policewoman immediately gave her colleague a look and continued to ask Xiaozhi: "Is there anything else you can tell me? The more you tell, the more people like Xiaozhi's mother and grandmother can be rescued."
Ye Lu thought for a moment and shouted, "Long live the princess!"
Both the guests inside the car and the staff outside the car burst into laughter.
A policeman in uniform stood at the door and took out his ID: "Imperial City Public Security Bureau, we have received a report from the public that someone here is suspected of human trafficking. Please cooperate."
"Teacher Song knew about it a long time ago. We only found out when we contacted Teacher Song to film this episode." The director touched his head a little embarrassedly and said, "We were also hesitant at the beginning, but no one can stand such a thing, so we just..."
Lin Yanyan was stunned for a long time before she reacted: "You mean, you knew about this a long time ago?"
Shang Lu followed up by shouting, "The princess is beautiful and kind-hearted!"
＊
The staff naturally followed her and shouted.
It was the restaurant owner who explained to them that he lived not far away and that he raised countless chickens, ducks, geese, as well as a dozen pigs and a large fish pond, and that the meat dishes they ordered were basically freshly slaughtered.
But because Lin Yanyan’s restaurant was quite far from here, everyone just found a nearby restaurant and had their meal.
Lin Yanyan even asked directly: "Are you still recording? I'm so hungry. If you don't want to record, I'll treat everyone to a meal. I just checked and found that it's only half an hour's drive to a branch of a western restaurant that my family has just invested in. Everyone can eat as much as they want, don't be polite to me."
Xiaozhi nodded.
In the ward on the other side.
Xu nodded in agreement.
At the dinner table.
Song Zeqian said directly: "Okay, I'll give you three days off. Go back and have a good rest. Think carefully about your scripts and roles. Do you understand?"
We had some snacks, tea and drinks on board for everyone to help them calm down.
Xiao Zhi, with gauze on his legs, also sat timidly on the bed. He said, "Grandpa has a diary that records the accounts and everyone's information."
After talking for a few sentences, everyone fell silent. It was obvious that no one wanted to talk about this heavy topic anymore.
This is not an ordinary account. Every transaction is the "commission" he received when he acted as a middleman. The purpose of recording the information of the children and the buyers is to prevent disputes due to memory errors.
Shang Lu crossed his arms and looked at him, and directly retorted: "With this attitude towards your mother, you will be like an animal and go to hell when you die."
The topic inevitably returns to today's incident.
Lin Yanyan had no expression on her face: "Get lost, I don't want to be an old witch."
The program crew's car was waiting outside.
And at this moment, there was a knock on the door.
Ye Lu also clenched his fists, and almost couldn't bear it anymore, he asked: "Can't we beat him?"
At this moment, a group of chickens, ducks and geese suddenly walked in to the door.
The staff members immediately said in unison: "Thank you, Princess!"
Jiang Jing praised: "They are all fresh, no wonder they taste so good."
＊
But I didn’t expect that this unremarkable looking restaurant would taste so good.
Ye Lu's eyes suddenly lit up.
Wait, he knows how to complete the task.
Ye Lu suddenly stood up and pulled the boss aside. Then the boss waved and called a waiter, and the two of them disappeared from everyone's sight together.
No matter how everyone called out to him, Ye Lu didn't look back, and even ran away.
Everyone: “?”
Shang Lu looked at the boss and asked, "Excuse me, what did he just say to you?"
The boss looked embarrassed.
Shang Lu glanced at Lin Yanyan, who understood what he meant and stood up and said coquettishly, "Boss, please, just tell us~"
The boss's face almost turned red, and he betrayed Ye Lu without hesitation: "I don't understand it either, that young man suddenly said he wanted to see our pigpen."
Everyone: “???”
Song Zeqian was very direct: "Is he crazy?"
Lin Yanyan immediately stood up and suggested, "Let's go take a look."
No one knows what Ye Lu is up to.
But after hearing the word "pigsty", Meng Li's face suddenly became uglier, and he didn't know whether to swallow or spit out the food in his mouth.
Since Lin Yanyan suggested this, everyone came together, including other staff members and Meng Li.
The director even asked the photographer to turn the camera back on, as his keen intuition told him that there might be some interesting material next.
After all, the recording of this episode didn’t take too long, so if we could show some interesting behind-the-scenes footage it would be a way of giving back to the fans.
After walking for about ten minutes, we arrived at the pigpen of the restaurant owner.
More than a dozen pigs were raised separately in pig pens in a row, and you could smell a bad odor when you got close.
But these pigs seemed to be in good spirits, grunting and wagging their tails.
Not far away, next to Ye Lu there was a pig that was two times fatter than the others. He was talking to the lady boss who was in charge of looking after the poultry: "It's the most docile, right? OK, thank you."
Seeing that everyone had arrived, Ye Lu smiled confidently and climbed onto the pig in the blink of an eye.
Everyone: “?”
Song Zeqian shook his head: "He is really crazy."
And the next second, something even weirder happened.
Ye Lu actually knelt down slowly, put his hands on the pig's body, and did a handstand.
The pig walked slowly forward, and his body swayed in the air, as if he might fall down at any second.
Everyone: “?!”
Waves of screams rang out, followed by Lin Yanyan's surprised shout: "Ye Lu? What are you crazy about?"
Although the pig is not very tall when it stands up and it wouldn't be a big deal if it fell down, the visual impact is still very strong.
Ye Lu's body could no longer maintain balance, but the moment his body fell, he still seized the opportunity to lie on the pig, holding the pig with both hands.
The proprietress standing by was also frightened.
Originally, Ye Lu just told her that he wanted to ride a pig, so how come he suddenly started performing acrobatics on the pig
Ye Lu looked at the director and asked, "Did Shang Lu scream just now? Was it over 100 decibels? Eh? Eh, don't leave!"
The pig seemed to be tired. It was too lazy to move normally, let alone carrying a person on its back. So it went straight back to its oversized pigpen and sat on the ground.
Ye Lu was also carried into the pigsty by it.
Director team: “…”
They were all frightened just now and their attention was on Ye Lu, so no one cared whether Shang Lu screamed or not.
What's more, they didn't continue recording, so how come Ye Lu still remembered this task? !
Just when the directors didn't know how to answer, Shang Lu looked helpless, but still said: "Yeah, she screamed, it was very loud, it should be louder than that."
Ye Lu instantly became proud, but he still confirmed again: "Then I have completed the task?"
Shang Lu continued to nod: "Yes, yes, it's done, come down quickly and let the pig go."
Ye Lu stood up and patted the pig's head: "Thanks, buddy!"
The pig closed his eyes, obviously not wanting to pay any attention to him.
Boring human beings.
Ye Lu let the pig go and walked towards them.
The closer he got, the more everyone smelled a strange stench.
Lin Yanyan covered her nose and looked behind Ye Lu with some surprise.
Every step he took left a footprint of a strange color.
Song Zeqian's lips twitched as he reminded, "Ye Lu, you stepped on pig shit."
There was laughter at the scene.
Song Zeqian looked at Meng Li and said the classic four words: "Since you are here."
The atmosphere became silent.
Everyone knows about the "heroic deeds" that Meng Li has been practicing in the chicken coop these days. Song Zeqian's meaning is very clear. He asked Meng Li to go and check the results now. After all, his role in the play requires him to have "intimate contact" with pigs, and it is not enough to just stay with the chickens.
Meng Li was even clearer.
Song Zeqian had talked to him once two days ago. Because of the role, if he couldn't overcome his disgust and even fear of this kind of thing, he would definitely be exhausted to the point of mental breakdown during the actual filming.
Lin Yanyan enthusiastically helped Meng Li and the proprietress and asked, "Can he ride the pig, too?"
The lady boss was very nice. Although she didn't understand why these people had such a strange hobby, she still agreed with a smile: "Okay."
Meng Li mustered up his courage and walked forward. Looking at the pig lying on the ground, the only thing left in his nose and mind was the stench of the pigsty.
He tried hard to control his gaze and focus on the pig, instead of looking at the disgusting feces that had not been cleaned up on the ground.
Fortunately, this pig is relatively clean.
Meng Li stretched out one leg and wanted to sit astride the pig.
At this moment, Lin Yanyan's voice rang out in surprise: "Ye Lu, you got it on your pants too? Eh... So disgusting!" Ye Lu also shouted: "Fuck!"
Monley: “…”
Meng Li still had one leg raised high in the air, not knowing whether he should put it down.
After a few seconds, he still couldn't get over it, so he bent over and started retching wildly.
The pig looked at him with some disdain.
She stood up, turned around, and stood in the corner, facing him with her butt.
So much so that Meng Li could see very clearly that there was a piece of—
vomit!!!
Meng Li vomited out everything he had just eaten.
Everyone: “…”
So miserable.
But it seems that there has been no progress.
After Meng Li finished vomiting, he was helped to the side to rest.
His face was pale, but he looked up at Song Zeqian under the comfort of everyone. His voice was trembling, but he still made a decision: "Director Song, I... I may not be able to play this role."
Lin Yanyan stared at the scene in front of her with wide eyes.
Others were also in disbelief.
As actors, we all cannot understand Meng Li's decision at this moment.
Only Ye Lu grinned and patted Song Zeqian on the shoulder: "Oh, you're eliminated! Don't cry!"
Song Zeqian ignored him and looked at Meng Li, asking, "Why? Because you feel you can't overcome your physiological vomiting reaction?"
"Yes, and more than that." Meng Li closed his eyes and continued, "The more I read the script these days, the more I feel that I am not similar to this role. I can't find the best and most suitable way to perform for him. I have never been confident in presenting this role. It's just because it's your movie. I feel that I can't miss this opportunity, so I came. But now, these two kinds of pain are superimposed on each other. Not only my body, I feel that my spirit is also in extreme anxiety. I'm sorry, Director Song, I really want to act in your movie, but I don't want to be the only failure in this movie. This is not an impulse, but a decision I made after careful consideration."
He spoke very sincerely, with regret and helplessness in his eyes, but he did not waver.
For a moment, no one knew what to say.
Because it was obvious that even after he had tried his best, he still felt that he was not up to the role, so there was no point in trying to persuade him.
Shang Lu could empathize with Meng Li very much.
Just like some time ago, she really wanted to take on Han Cheng's new drama, but because it was not the most suitable role for her, she finally refused.
A good actor must be willing to make some decisions.
Song Zeqian could also understand what Meng Li said.
Especially in recent days of spending time together day and night, Song Zeqian discovered a fatal problem: the magnetic field between Meng Li and Shang Lu seemed to be wrong. Simply put, there was no "chemical reaction" at all when the two of them stood together.
But for these two characters, the most important people are each other. There should be a kind of "symbiotic relationship" between them that seems to dislike each other on the surface but is actually subtle.
However, the relationship between Shang Lu and Meng Li did not achieve the effect he wanted.
In fact, Song Zeqian had said before that he would let them rest for three days in order to give Meng Li and Shang Lu some time to train separately. He wanted to see if there was any way to change the current situation.
But now that Meng Li has taken the initiative to propose it, it proves that his psychological defenses have collapsed, and it is no use forcing him to train at this time.
So Song Zeqian was silent for a while, and said: "I respect and honor your choice."
"Ah?" Lin Yanyan became the one with a look of bewilderment on her face in the creative team, and asked directly, "Isn't it almost time to start filming? Are we going to change the cast now? Who?"
Jiang Jing also looked at them with a look of confusion.
The filming is about to start, where can we find a more suitable candidate now
Song Zeqian didn't say anything.
Because in his mind, there was a very suitable candidate in his mind just now, but because he thought it was too ridiculous, he couldn't even say it out loud.
Song Zeqian's silence was also seen as embarrassing by others.
However, when he looked at Ye Lu for the third time, Ye Lu touched his arm and said, "Why are you looking at me? I don't have any actor friends to introduce to you."
Song Zeqian closed his eyes.
Whatever.
There are so many good actors in the world, it is impossible for him not to find someone suitable to play the second son.
But in his mind, countless actors' faces flashed by, and the one that finally stopped was the one he least wanted to see.
In the end, Song Zeqian seemed to have accepted his fate.
He looked at Ye Lu with a serious expression: "Have you considered acting?"
Everyone: “?”
What does Song Zeqian mean
Ye Lu: “… ?”
Is there something wrong with his ears or is there something wrong with Song Zeqian's brain
"Not considering it." Ye Lu refused without hesitation, and even complained about Song Zeqian: "How many times have I told you that I'm an idol, not an actor? You're an actor who wants to run away before filming starts. You're desperate and trying all kinds of methods."
Shang Lu naturally knew that Song Zeqian would never treat his movie so casually. There was only one possible reason why he said that: he was serious.
Shang Lu asked tentatively, "Because the scene where he just rode a pig was a bit like the scene in the script?"
"More than that." Song Zeqian replied: "On the way here, I also saw a collection of his videos of playing big shots, and it was very similar."
Everyone: “…”
Wow, there are more unexpected reasons.
Ye Lu immediately defended himself: "Don't say anything to ruin my reputation. Those things happened for a reason!"
Obviously, Song Zeqian didn't care whether he was really being a big shot or not, and continued: "Remember the episode about true and false friends? It was also because of Ye Lu that I made a mistake in judgment. That day I realized that superficial stupidity could confuse the true and the false, and the character setting of this role was finally determined."
And most importantly, the chemistry between Ye Lu and Shang Lu is right. Although it’s not yet at the level he requires, it’s there.
Ye Lu's arrogance and Shang Lu's perfunctory cooperation, one active and one quiet, matched perfectly.
Everyone was silent.
It sounds like this character appeared just for Ye Lu.
Ye Lu: "Are you calling me stupid?"
Song Zeqian: “…”
Is this the point
Ye Lu scratched his hair and said, "Thank you, but I still don't want to act."
Song Zeqian couldn't understand it either, so he asked him directly: "Why are you so resistant? Do you hate acting?"
"I don't hate it." Ye Lu thought for a while, looking a little confused but still said: "Actually, I don't really understand it, but everyone says that idols shouldn't act. I am the most qualified idol, so of course I have to abide by this rule and not let my fans down."
Song Zeqian refuted Ye Lu's statement: "What people hate is never idols acting, but idols who are bad at singing and dancing use the stage that others dream of as a springboard, and switch to acting after gaining traffic. If they are criticized for their poor acting skills, they will explain that it is normal for idols to be a little worse. If they are criticized for their stage performance, they will say that they have switched to acting. They want to reap the benefits of both sides without putting in any effort on either side."
Ye Lu: “!”
Is that so
other people:"!"
Song Zeqian is really good at cursing.
Song Zeqian continued: "If you can have a successful film and television work besides being an idol singing and dancing, then you are even better. As long as you can do well, your fans will not be angry, they will only be proud of you and regard you as proud."
Ye Lu: “!”
Oops, he started to get excited.
other people:"!"
It turns out that Song Zeqian is not only good at cursing people, but also good at making promises.
In fact, Ye Lu still didn’t quite understand what Song Zeqian said, but as long as he thought about how his fans would be proud of him, he couldn’t resist the temptation of this sentence.
Ye Lu said: "Of course I can, but I've never acted before, can I do it?"
Shang Lu also looked at Song Zeqian with some concern.
To be honest, she still didn't quite understand Song Zeqian's current decision.
No matter what, Ye Lu has never filmed a single day. Although the role of the second son has the least scenes, he is still one of the protagonists. Especially the biggest difficulty in acting this character is the level of good and evil. Song Zeqian has chosen Ye Lu now. Can Ye Lu's performance really satisfy him
If we replace the new candidate later, it will take more time.
Song Zeqian looked at Ye Lu and said, "I believe in myself."
Ye Lu thought for a moment and said, "I can try, but filming must not affect my performance."
Song Zeqian said directly: "The time can be negotiated at any time."
Seeing Ye Lu nodded, Song Zeqian said directly: "Everyone, the break time is cancelled. I will arrange for someone to send the luggage over. Now everyone follow me and the training will begin."
Everyone: “?!”
Huh? Isn't this a little too sudden
So that day, everyone got on the car and headed for the villa arranged by Song Zeqian.
The photographer held up the camera and asked, "Director, do you still want this?"
The director laughed and said, "Keep it and give it to them as a gift when the movie is released."
＊
the next morning.
Everyone had a good sleep after the intensive training. When they woke up, they saw Song Zeqian with bloodshot eyes and Ye Lu reading the script and praising it repeatedly.
Ye Lu's voice was filled with surprise: "No one told me this was a villainous boss. This is so cool. I want to play it!"
Everyone: “?”
The second son is the villain boss? What is Ye Lu talking about
Lin Yanyan pulled Shang Lu's sleeve and complained in a low voice: "Forget about acting, he didn't even understand the script, right?"
But Song Zeqian looked at them and said, "You didn't bring your scripts, did you? That's great. I've prepared new ones for you."
There were several scripts on the coffee table.
Song Zeqian was reminding them to read the script here.
Everyone immediately picked up a copy and looked through it, and everyone fell silent.
Because the script they are seeing now is different from what they have always seen.
But all the changes were made to the second son, who was given countless psychological descriptions.
The script contains psychological descriptions, which is a mistake only made by beginners. It is obvious that Song Zeqian did it on purpose.
With these psychological descriptions, without any major changes in the plot, the second son was turned into a villain.
Shang Lu: “…”
She suddenly understood the red bloodshot eyes and dark circles under Song Zeqian's eyes. He must have stayed up all night to revise this "new" script.
Let Ye Lu play "evil" with "goodness", and his lack of acting skills becomes an advantage. In the eyes of the audience, the "good" that is covered up by "evil" is unconsciously revealed, and he bluffs to cover up his evil in order to protect his family.
Whether it is the first or second time, I will feel it is reasonable.
This perfectly solved the biggest problem they encountered when casting in the beginning.
Ye Lu is actually the most suitable candidate for this role.
