Lu Wen rushed out of the bathroom and looked at the clock on the wall. It was half past eleven, the time for children to fall asleep, college entrance examination candidates to turn on the lights, red men and women to roll the sheets, and the time for couples to sleep under the covers.
Qu Yanting called at this time and asked him to go over, so straightforward that he didn't hide anything.
"What... what?" Lu Wenxi begged to be fake, "I didn't hear clearly..."
Qu Yanting repeated: "Come here, come to my room."
The chandelier was dimly lit, making Lu Wen's mind go blank. He was flustered, poked on the floor like a big mop, dripping water all over his body, and the words trembled: "I... already fell asleep."
Qu Yanting said, "Then get up."
Lu Wen's eyes were darkened, and he was furious: "It's so late! What do you want me to do?"
Qu Yanting replied: "There are changes in the 78th scene, come and read the script, I will help you correct the words."
Lu Wen almost laughed angrily, did Qu Yanting think him stupid? Drilling into the room in the middle of the night, you can even make excuses like reading a script, ghosts believe it? !
"Hurry up." Qu Yanting finished speaking and hung up.
When the busy news came out, Lu Wen's heart sank. He had no right to refuse, unless he didn't want to continue messing around. But once he stepped into that door, would he accept Qu Yanting's unspoken rules
That night, the scene of Ruan Feng's night meeting with Qu Yanting is vivid in my memory.
Times have changed, and now it's his turn.
Lu Wen aroused a layer of goosebumps, anxiously imagining how intimidating and tempting Qu Yanting would be, and how he would defend the bottom line and integrity.
In any case, he will never have a relationship with Qu Yanting. Besides, he shouldn't be hard on men.
Lu Wen calmed down and felt a little better. He is a strong man of 1.88 meters, and when soldiers come to cover him with water and soil, he is afraid that Qu Yanting will not be able to force his bow against the king
To be on the safe side, Lu Wen opened the address book and found his three siblings, Gu Zhuoyan, Su Wang and Lian Yiming.
Among them, Gu Zhuoyan is gay, coming out in high school, first love, and first night all in one, can be described as a leader among gays. Lu Wen skipped him first, he was going to be hidden/ruled by men, he was a bit homophobic.
Lian Yiming is the most mature and stable, but he has a kind heart. After screening, Lu Wen called Su Wang, who was clever and ruthless.
After two beeps, the connection was made, and Su Wang gave a "Hello", cutting through the lonely and helpless night. Hearing the voice of his good brother, Lu Wen was moved and said, "Brother, it's me."
"Can I still know it's you?" Su Wang said, "What's the matter, the number one male, isn't the night in Chongqing hot?"
It was too spicy, Lu Wen said: "I guess you didn't sleep, why are you working overtime?"
Su Wang works in private equity, a senior partner, and an elite in gold suits in the eyes of others, but he likes to belittle himself: "Well, I'm tired of talking about the suffering of financial migrant workers."
Lu Wen thoughtfully said: "You should pay attention to rest."
Su Wang was as sharp as an eagle: "Tell me, what happened?"
Lu Wen couldn't open it, so he made up an excuse: "I have an engagement later, and I can't push it away. Give me a call in an hour."
Su Wang understood immediately: "Is it to help you escape?"
"Yes, can you cooperate?" Lu Wen asked.
Su Wang said disdainfully: "Small, we have a tacit understanding."
After the arrangements were made, Lu Wen went to get dressed and got into the full cloakroom.
After hanging up, Qu Yanting simply took a shower. It should be very late after the play, so he can go to bed directly.
Just as she was about to dry her hair, the doorbell rang, and Qu Yanting went to open the door, her face was expressionless, and her pupils dilated slightly after opening the door.
Outside the door, Lu Wen was wearing a complicated three-piece suit. Shirts fastened to the top, waistcoats, concealed buttons, coats, double-breasted. The trousers were a slim fit and were tucked into a pair of shiny booties. Put on a thick cashmere coat and a woolen scarf.
Qu Yanting thought an Eskimo was coming, and asked strangely, "Why are you dressed like this?"
This is more difficult to get off and feels safe. Lu Wen replied: "It's a bit cold at night, and I feel cold."
Qu Yanting was dubious, and stepped out of the way: "Come in."
Lu Wen put his mind to rest and followed Qu Yanting into the house. He noticed Qu Yanting's crimson ears and dripping hair. This wet appearance was obviously just after taking a shower.
As for the reason for taking a bath, it is self-evident, it is to welcome him.
Walking to the living room, Lu Wen took advantage of Qu Yanting's inattention and wiped off his sweat. There are computers and scripts on the coffee table, as well as pens and paper, and the scenes are arranged quite realistically.
The hotel did not have photocopying equipment, so they could only read electronic documents. Qu Yanting put the computer on the corner of the coffee table, and he and Lu Wen sat on the carpet across the corner of the table.
It was too thick, and Lu Wen was too big, twisting his body aggrievedly. He strongly suspected that reading the script was a fiction, and asked, "Teacher Qu, where is the revised script?"
Qu Yanting pressed the touchpad, the screen lit up, and it was the script of the 78th scene.
Lu Wen was convinced, and Qu Yanting worked too hard to get him.
"Look at it first." Qu Yanting said.
Lu Wen tucked his chin in the scarf, raised his eyebrows, wiped the edge of the coffee table and looked beside him. Qu Yanting sat there, two fists away from him, with a delicate bridge of nose shining under the lamp, with a calm expression like a gentleman.
He was peeking, his heart was confused, and all the messy emotions were floating in his heart, the deepest thing was actually a sense of loss. Because the help and care that he was grateful for were all just Qu Yanting's methods.
Suddenly, Qu Yanting looked back, his eyelashes flicked like butterfly wings.
Lu Wen immediately avoided it, and said guiltily, "I've finished watching."
"Well, I will replace Teacher Yang." Qu Yanting pouted at the pen and paper on the coffee table, "First check the words and make notes."
The white paper was pressed under the notebook, and Lu Wen yanked it roughly, throwing the notebook onto the carpet. He pinched the leather cover and picked it up, and a few more sheets of lined paper fell out from among the loose pages.
Lu Wen picked it up and recognized the writing on the paper. What he wrote, he squatted at the door and stuffed them one by one into the crack of the door, but Qu Yanting never lost them.
Wouldn't it be a token of love
There were some important things to do in the notebook, so Qu Yanting snatched it back together with the few sheets of paper, and scolded "reckless" with his eyes.
Lu Wen thought to himself, this is probably called shyness.
Teaching the play, the emotion of this play is very delicate, Qu Yanting said it sentence by sentence. Lu Wen bent down on the coffee table to take notes. His good handwriting was forced to practice by Lu Zhanqing when he was a child, but he wrote very slowly.
Qu Yanting slowed down his speech, and suddenly remembered dictating new words to his younger brother. After the first pass, he handed over a red pen: "Next time, I will cut out the details and mark them in red."
Lu Wen's short sleeves were already drenched with sweat. He secretly looked at his watch. It was almost half past twelve. Does the foreplay need to be so long... He even thought, after all this trouble, will Qu Yanting still have the energy to sneak up on him
That's right, he's the one in charge.
But Qu Yanting has a bad waist, can she bear too much intensity
Lu Wen wandered into outer space, his body was hot, his heart was ashamed, his face seemed to have been painted with a red pen, and his forehead was dripping with sweat. Suddenly, with a "snap", the shoulder was slapped.
"Fuck!" Lu Wen yelled, he couldn't accept the kind of beating, "Why are you beating me?"
Qu Yanting poked his index finger on the paper: "Why are you writing my name?"
Lu Wen was surprised, and the words "Qu Yanting" were indeed written on the paper, followed by a red curve drawn by the tip of a pen. He picked up the scarf to wipe his sweat, looking for reasons while wiping: "I..."
Lu Wen hesitated, just when the phone rang, it was Su Wang who called on time.
He made a connection in a serious manner, and designed it. Even if he couldn't get out, at least let Qu Yanting know that he is straight and that he has a name.
"Hello?" Lu Wen gritted his teeth, "—Baby."
Qu Yanting looked at the past, there was a moment of surprise and curiosity, and then turned into displeasure. The two hundred and five were absent-minded at first, and now they are talking about private calls
with who? Pretty nurse, date, or someone else
Actually a financial migrant worker, Su Wang: "You fucking..."
"Want flowers?" Lu Wen interrupted, "I'll order you tomorrow, how about roses?"
Su Wang said, "Is the food in Chongqing too spicy for you?"
"I didn't go to play, I was at the hotel." Lu Wen looked tender, "I can't rest yet, and I can't sleep alone."
Su Wang said, "I'm homophobic too!"
"Hey, I'll take you to visit Hongya Cave next time." Lu Wen acted vigorously, "What, turn on the video? I'm afraid it's not convenient..."
Su Wang had enough: "Let's cut off the mat tonight, I wish you a bright future."
Lu Wen hurriedly asked to stay: "Baby, don't be angry!"
After hanging up, the living room became quiet, and the silence was louder than the noise. Seeing Qu Yanting frown, Lu Wen understood that the other party was frustrated and had a taste for it. Just as he was about to draw black spots again, the phone rang again.
Lu Wen opened it, and it was a temporary notice from the director's assistant. Work will start at 4:30 tomorrow morning, and the 78th scene will be filmed ahead of schedule.
Lu Wen was in a mess, did Qu Yanting lie to him? !
"Can we continue?" Qu Yanting asked coldly after running out of patience.
Lu Wen dripped a drop of sweat and nodded. Qu Yanting gave him a lazy and distasteful glance: "Tomorrow morning, after the scene with Mr. Yang, the filming will begin. Tonight must be ready."
The late-night tryst ended and turned into a one-on-one with a famous teacher.
After carefully digging out the details, the two of them entered into the roles and matched the words for a total of four times. After grasping the fluency, Lu Wen began to recite the lines.
Qu Yanting's mouth was dry, so he pulled the small basin over and stuffed a grape into his mouth. The habit he developed when he was a child was addictive, and he couldn't stop eating one after another. He skillfully peeled the skin and spit out the seeds, and ate half of the pot in the blink of an eye.
With sticky juices on his hands, he got up to wash his hands.
Lu Wen had almost finished reciting, his legs were numb, and he wanted to sit up.
He leaned on the couch to borrow strength, without paying attention, he slapped the remote control. Beep—The projection starts, automatically connects to the system, lights up, and the memory screen of the last shutdown appears.
"Echo of Heaven", a movie that Ye Shan and his father didn't watch.
Qu Yanting returned to the living room after washing his hands. He was taken aback when he saw the projection screen, then rushed over, picked up the remote control and pressed the off button forcefully.
The screen turned black, and Lu Wen came back to his senses: "This movie—"
"Have you memorized the lines?" Qu Yanting interrupted him.
Lu Wen replied: "I have recited it."
Qu Yanting issued an order to chase away the guests: "Go back to your room and go to bed early."
Lu Wen walked out silently, his steps were a little heavy. A call to call him, a word to drive him away, it was Qu Yanting who made the decisions.
When he reached the porch, he couldn't help turning his head, and couldn't help asking, "Are you angry?"
Qu Yanting bent down to clean up the tea table without making a sound.
Lu Wen explained by himself: "I didn't touch it on purpose, I'm sorry."
As soon as the door opened and closed, people left. Qu Yanting stopped and sat on the sofa tiredly, the sleepiness that should have disappeared in the middle of the night.
On the computer screen, the revised scenes were sorted by date, and the 78th scene was the last revised scene. Qu Yanting's mission to Chongqing had been completed.
It was dark at 4:30, and the crew on the set yawned again and again.
Lu Wenhua put on makeup, but he couldn't hide the blue eyes. After leaving Qu Yanting's room, he couldn't sleep, so he went straight to work, and waited for a while.
When Yang Bin came over, the father and son in the play had passed the scene and started filming.
The camera zoomed in, and the red blood streaks in Lu Wen's eyeballs were clearly visible. For the time being, he didn't think about it, he just concentrated on acting, and the notes from the dialogue with Qu Yanting appeared in his mind.
Qu Yanting taught me when to push up emotions, which words rise and fall intonation, key nodes, and the number of seconds left blank. Lu Wen seems to have the answer, and he can lift the weight of the old drama with ease.
A scene was filmed until the sky was bright.
Lu Wen changed his clothes and continued to shoot during the day, without sleep for seven or eight hours. At noon, work was over and the strings were relaxed, and he went to sleep in the RV without eating.
Not daring to go to sleep, he got up with some energy, Lu Wenxi turned his face back to the community, and found a large group of people gathered at the end of the building, all surrounded by the grapevines.
Lu Wen went to join in the fun, and was attracted by a large bouquet of flowers under the rest shed, as well as a cream cake with the words "Congratulations to Teacher Yang Bin's completion".
Under the vine, Yang Bin is filming the last scene.
Lu Wen walked around to the balcony of 101 and looked at it neither far nor near. He and Yang Bin had very few rivalries, and they basically existed in dreams, because Ye Shan was only eight years old when Ye's father died.
There is a pair of twin boys playing the childhood of Ye Shan and Ye Xiaowu. Under the grapevine, Ye's father is holding Ye Xiaowu.
Each actor has a relatively independent part in the scene. For Lu Wen, this scene is a bit strange.
Ye Xiaowu fell ill, had a fever, and was dying from an injection, and hung on Ye's father after returning from the clinic. Father Ye hugged him and sat under the vine, with a small pot of grapes on the table.
"Father," said the young actor's immature childlike voice, "the grapes are so big."
Father Ye peeled off one and fed it to him: "Is it sweet?"
Ye Xiaowu puffed up his cheeks after eating, and asked innocently: "Dad, did you pick it from the vine?"
Father Ye replied: "Yes, every time you have a fever and eat grapes, Dad picks them."
"But..." Ye Xiaowu muttered, "I was looking down there yesterday, why didn't I see it?"
Father Ye smiled and said, "Every time you can eat a pot, Putao is so scared that she hides when she sees you."
Ye Xiaowu was obviously taken aback, believed it, picked up the pot of grapes, peeled the skin skillfully with two small hands, stuffed it into his mouth, and ate one by one.
Father Ye asked: "Are you still motivated?"
Ye Xiaowu said: "I have to eat while I have it now!"
Following the director's call to stop, there was a burst of cheers at the scene, and everyone shouted "Mr. Yang Bin is happy to finish the film", bouquets were presented, and a big cake was rolled out.
Lu Wen stood where he was, turned around slowly, and raised his head. Qu Yanting didn't come to the set, and there was no one on the balcony of 101.
The surrounding area of the grape vines was extremely lively. He looked at the window quietly, thinking about the person eating the grapes, feeling empty in his heart.
