Airplane to train, train to car... After more than ten hours of bumpy road, the tired Ling Xi stood in the deep mountains on the outskirts of a prefecture-level city under N City, looking at the stairs that were almost soaring into the clouds , took a deep breath.
"Do you really want to climb up?" He was stunned.
The crew behind him spread their hands: "There is no elevator here."
At the beginning, in order to match An Ruifeng's schedule, "Jianjue Tianxia" chose to shoot the content of episodes 11 to 50 first, and the shooting location was in another film and television city in the south. According to the plan, five days later, An Ruifeng and the others in Shimen will join the group to film the happy life in Shimen at the beginning of the play.
Originally, the director wanted to set the scene directly in the film and television city, but the screenwriter disagreed, saying that the Shimen station that was set up was not simple enough, and had no sense of historical precipitation. In the end, he was stunned to use his personal connections in the deep mountains around N city. Here, I found such a Taoist temple with a history of hundreds of years. As soon as the local government heard that famous directors and actors came to film, they could not wait to agree with both hands and feet. They sent people to visit the Taoist temple in turn, and finally persuaded the host of the Taoist temple and agreed to lend the Taoist temple for a month.
Filming in the audience requires setting up a camera track, installing lighting, and other miscellaneous preparatory work. The director sent a team of staff to arrange it in advance. Wu Youpeng held the old face and the director for a long time, and finally let the director agree to let Ling Xi go to the mountain with the pioneer team to "get familiar with the environment".
The director said: "The place is beautiful, but the signal is very poor, and there is no connection to the Internet. You let Ling Xi go ahead. Can he stand it?"
Wu Youpeng said: "Very good, self-cultivation."
Originally, Wu Youpeng planned to accompany Ling Xi up the mountain. After all, he unilaterally cut off Ling Xi's connection with An Ruifeng. He felt a little guilty. As a result, he received a call from the brokerage company as soon as he got off the plane. Ask him to return to City B immediately, saying that there is something very important for him to do.
In desperation, Wu Youpeng sent Ling Xi to the meeting point and hurriedly jetted back, leaving Ling Xi alone with a cell phone that had no signal at all, and climbed the mountain with the others.
What disgusted Ling Xi the most was that Zhu Linlin didn't know what was going on, but she joined the group ahead of schedule...
The Taoist temple was high, Ling Xi looked up until his neck was sore, and only found the shadow of the Taoist temple on the mountainside. According to the staff of the same group, from the foot of the mountain to the Taoist temple, there are 888 steps. Ling Xi calculated it. If 20 steps count as one floor, then it is more than 40 stories high...
Halfway through the climb, Ling Xi's legs trembled, and smoke rose from his head. Looking to the left, the staff carrying dozens of kilograms of photographic equipment walks like a fly, chatting and laughing; looking to the right, Zhu Linlin, who is walking on high heels, is walking lightly, laughing with her agent; looking back, he is hired to help him carry it at the foot of the mountain. The villagers in the box smoked wild vegetables while smoking; looking ahead, the dog actor "Little Ancestor" who was also in the group ahead of time moved quickly with his four short legs.
Ling Xi was about to cry.
After walking a few steps, the little ancestor suddenly stopped, got under the feet of everyone, and ran in front of Ling Xi, with black grape-like eyes staring at him. Ling Xi had always liked dogs, so he lowered his head and patted its head, and it suddenly jumped into Ling Xi's arms with a sting.
Ling Xi: "...are you tired and want me to hug you?"
The little ancestor's trainer came over, touched its paws, and poured some water on it. "It didn't even stick out its tongue, it wasn't tired, it just wanted you to hug it."
Ling Xi: "... Really a little ancestor."
Alas, he hugs the dog, who hugs him.
The last few steps, Ling Xi climbed up by rolling and climbing all fours. Outside the Taoist temple, the old Taoist priest and six young Taoist priests lined up outside the door, expressing a heartfelt welcome to these guests who came from afar.
The staff have been up the mountain many times before, and the audience is very familiar with them, so this time, the leading team leader in the staff introduced them to a few actors who had joined the group in advance.
Ladies first, the first to introduce is Zhu Linlin.
Zhu Linlin is not very popular outside, and no one knows her in this Taoist temple with no internet access, but the little Taoist priests are happy to see such a beautiful girl, and one of them has the courage to even greet her behind the old Taoist priest. He waved his hand and coaxed her to smile until her dimples came out.
The next one is Ling Xi. No one knows about the scandal between Ling Xi and Zhu Linlin in Taoist temples. However, some people have heard Ling Xi's debut song "Ling Xi in the Heart". Guang, it is estimated that he will find an opportunity to sneak over and ask him to sign in a while.
The old Taoist priest is the master of one view. He has lived in seclusion for many years and has an extraordinary celestial spirit. Instead of shaking hands with them, he flicked his whisk and performed a ritual commonly used by Taoists. They hurriedly followed suit.
Finally, the little ancestor and his trainer were introduced. The old Taoist took out a piece of cake from his big sleeve and fed it to him, and let him lick his hand.
After all the personnel were introduced, the old Taoist inspected the crowd with a stern look, his face serious. He pondered for a long time and asked, "Why don't you see An Ruifeng?"
The staff was busy explaining that because An Ruifeng had a busy schedule, it would take a few days for him to join the group with the big team. After listening to this explanation, the old Taoist did not say much, nodded coldly, and told them that someone would tell them where to set up equipment and where to rest.
After explaining this, the old Taoist saluted again and turned to leave. He walked in a hurry, Ling Xi felt that his back was full of anger.
Ling Xi whispered to the staff: "Did we come here to film and disturb their cleaning? Otherwise, why is the old Taoist so unhappy?"
Staff: "It's not for that reason that he's unhappy."
"Why is that?"
"Our people have talked with him many times before, and he didn't agree to lend the Taoist temple at this price. Later, he heard that An Ruifeng was among the stars who came to film this time. He agreed." The staff put it aside. He pouted: "The little Taoist told me that the Taoist priest was so cute watching An Ruifeng's play!"
Ling Xi felt a sense of excitement in his heart. Look, his family, An Ruifeng, even has fans in such a remote mountainous area!
Since the unforgettable goodbye a month ago, this is the first time Ling Xi has heard An Ruifeng's name from someone else's mouth. Before that, he could only roll these three words over and over in his mind. It's been so long that the gentle kiss seems to still be there, it seems that as long as he turns his head slightly, he can make those lips print on his own.
The more extreme things are, the more Wu Youpeng keeps him from contacting him, the more Ling Xi loves to think. Every night when he lies in bed, he has to replay what happened that day in his head over and over again, which makes An Ruifeng's figure more and more. clear.
Even once, he clearly didn't sigh before going to bed, but he still had to wash the sheets the next morning.
Today, Wu Youpeng finally agreed to return the mobile phone to him. Before he could be happy, he was packed and thrown here. In this deep mountain and old forest, there is no difference between bringing a mobile phone and an air conditioner remote control...
Forget it, after another week, when An Ruifeng joins the group, he will tell him everything he hasn't said this month.
When the group of them went up the mountain, it was not early. After discussing it, they decided to put things back to the house to rest, and then start erecting shelves tomorrow morning. This Taoist temple on the mountainside covers a large area, with five courtyards. The first two are dedicated to the immortals believed in by Taoism. The third is the place where classes are taught on weekdays. The utility room, etc., and the fourth entry is the room for people to rest.
Because they knew in advance that they were coming, the little Taoist priest packed a few double rooms for them to stay in, but as a non-calculated member, Ling Xi was faced with the situation of having no room to sleep...
Seeing this, the staff hurriedly whispered to the Taoist priests. A few minutes later, Ling Xi followed one of the young Taoists and turned to the other direction of the yard.
The door opened, and under the afterglow of the sun, this large wing quietly showed itself to Ling Xi to watch. This is a large room that is twice as wide as other double rooms. It looks like it has just been cleaned, and there is still dust in the air. Except for the same wardrobe and round table as other rooms, the most special thing about this room is that Under the window, there is a 5-meter-long Datong shop…
Ling Xi was already tired and paralyzed from climbing the mountain. Now that he saw the bed, he threw down his luggage, rushed up with a stride, and rolled several somersaults on the bed.
The huge bed board was very hard, the pillows were small, and the quilt was as thin as a sheet, but these could not reduce the excitement that rose in Ling Xi's heart after seeing the bed.
Now just give him a plank and he can fall asleep.
Before falling asleep, he even thought contentedly: Well, this bed can be considered kingsize anyway.
…
He slept for three hours this night, and when he got up, the sky was full of stars. He stretched out refreshedly, took out his mobile phone and wanted to call Wu Youpeng to be safe, but no matter where he went, the call could not be made.
He was looking for a signal all over the yard with his mobile phone, and happened to meet Zhu Linlin who was holding a mobile phone.
Ling Xi didn't want to pay attention to her at first, but suddenly seeing her holding a mobile phone in her hand, she didn't care about her face, and hurriedly asked, "Did you call just now?"
"Well." Zhu Linlin said, "You want to fight too?"
"Yes, how did you get out?"
Zhu Linlin disdainfully stretched out an index finger and pointed to the top of her head.
Ling Xi looked at the shaded tree above her head and swallowed hard: "But I can't climb such a tall tree..."
"Don't be stupid, how tall is this, I'm not referring to a tree at all!" Zhu Linlin crossed her hands on her chest: "You have to go to the top of the mountain, and there will be a signal there!"
You know, they walked 888 steps this afternoon, just from the foot of the mountain to the temple and Taoist temple on the mountainside. Ling Xi looked at Zhu Linlin's still agile and light footsteps on high heels, and reflected on his own useless firewood. After a fierce ideological struggle, he decided not to call Wu Youpeng...
After all, his super power has not been awakened, unlike Zhu Linlin who has evolved to the top of the pyramid.
After turning around in the yard, Ling Xi shrank his neck and returned to his kingsize suite. It was quiet at night, and there were no entertainment facilities in the deep mountains. There was a Taoist scripture book in front of the windowsill for guests to read. Ling Xi looked at it for a while and then his eyelids were fighting. He rolled over and over on the big bed. The room was terribly big, and the bed was terribly big too. Lingxi is not afraid of the empty environment, he is just afraid of loneliness.
People are lonely, and the miscellaneous things in their minds keep rushing.
He thought of the script in the suitcase, the staff who went up the mountain ahead of time, the quiet Taoist temple, and the unsmiling old Taoist priest. He was actually a fan of An Ruifeng... It was so natural, An Ruifeng That handsome face appeared in Ling Xi's mind, and what he recalled together was his tenderness and the mint-flavored kiss.
Ling Xi screamed and rolled a few times on the bed, not knowing whether it was hot or ashamed, her face flushed red. This is the place for Taoist priests to cultivate, and he must not think about some messy things here.
Wu Youpeng also gave Ling Xi all the text messages sent by An Ruifeng during the month in his cell phone. Every day's text messages are long or short. There is no single word about what happened in the background that day, but there should be some concern. Nothing less than love. Ling Xi read from the first article to the last one, feeling that it was not enough, so he turned back and read it again, this time he recalled what happened that day according to the date, and silently simulated his reply in his mind.
If it wasn't for this month that Wu's mother cut off all his communication equipment, maybe, maybe...
He held the mobile phone for a while, and started to write text messages to An Ruifeng slowly, but the text messages turned into long letters by accident.
Lingxi: hi, long time no see, sorry for being very strict with me a month ago, she asked me to prepare for the music club, so I have not been able to contact you. How are you doing lately? The movie should be finished, right? Is the injury on the arm better? Don't push hard for the past few months. I have already arrived on the mountain ahead of time. The environment of the Taoist temple is very beautiful, the air is very good, and the little ancestor (that is, the dog who plays more than me) also likes it here. By the way, the dog ears and dog tail you ordered have been delivered to my house. I forgot to bring them. You can pick them up at my house after the filming is over. It feels like I haven't answered your call for a long, long time, and I miss your voice so much.
After the text message, he also attached a photo of the kingsize shop in the wing.
This text message has undoubtedly failed to send.
When the sending progress bar reaches 20%, it refuses to go further, and a red exclamation mark is displayed on the screen. He thought about it and decided to delete the photo and try it.
This time the progress bar goes to 45%, it seems that the size of the message does affect the sending situation.
So he drastically deleted the text messages.
Lingxi: Wu Ma confiscated my mobile phone a month ago, so I have been unable to contact you. Your movie should be finished, right? Is the wound on the arm better? I have already reached the mountain, and the Taoist temple has a beautiful environment. The dog ears and dog tails you ordered have been delivered to my house. You can get them from my house later. I miss your voice so much.
This time the progress bar has reached 74%, which is still not short enough.
Ling Xi: I am waiting for you at Taoist Temple. I miss your voice very much.
This time it has reached 88%, and victory is in sight.
Ling Xi gritted his teeth and deleted the text message to only two words left. This time, the text message was sent to 99%, but for some unknown reason, it fell short at the last moment. Ling Xi jumped up and down in the room, and even reaching out of the window couldn't make the progress bar go any further.
He was so angry that he threw the phone on the bed, and even wanted to suffocate it with a pillow, but the text messages that couldn't be sent still couldn't be sent.
After such a tossing time, twelve o'clock has passed, and Ling Xi can only sleep even if he is not reconciled. With full of resentment, he closed his eyes and counted the sheep, counting and counting, the big white sheep beating in front of him turned into An Ruifeng's face.
There is one An Ruifeng on the bed, two An Ruifeng, and three An Ruifeng...
In this way, Ling Xi gradually fell asleep, and what he didn't know was that his head just pressed the "repeat" button on the phone under the pillow.
The mobile phone diligently sent An Ruifeng the last message repeatedly, and before it shut down when it ran out of power, it finally lived up to expectations and sent Ling Xi's simplified text message at the last moment.
-Miss you.
