... But before July 7th, Ning Yuren was already in big trouble...
"What?" Ning Ning was surprised, "Are you arrested? Why?"
Shi Zhongtang put a finger to his lips, snorted, and then lowered his voice: "Don't be heard... She's in the game, with a group of prostitutes."
The news was not made public, because Shi Zhongtang was the first to get the news. He usually looks like a fool, but once he takes action, he takes off his sunglasses almost immediately and takes to the streets. In a very short period of time, all the entertainment records All eyes were drawn to him.
When they came back to find Ning Yuren, they found that the person had been released on bail and wanted to buy some gossip, but the relevant personnel did not know about it after asking three questions, and it was obvious that they had been silenced.
"You owe me one time." Shi Zhongtang leaned into Ning Ning's ear and said the name of a cafe with a smile.
Moonlight Cafe, 7pm.
The place is not far from the crew, and the environment is quiet. Actors often come to this place to eat.
After Ning Ning arrived, he turned his eyes, walked inside quickly, and tapped on a coffee table covered with a checkered tablecloth.
Ning Yuren behind the table slowly looked up at her, looking very haggard.
Ning Ning sat down across from her and looked at the coffee cup in front of her. It was cold and the heat was gone, so she turned her head and called the waiter. After ordering two more cups of coffee, she turned around and said to her: "You What's going on?"
"... I didn't do anything bad." Ning Yuren said in a low voice, "I just... I couldn't act the play that seduced the male protagonist. I just wanted to see... how those prostitutes did it."
Ning Ning was silent.
"If I don't do this, I really don't know how to act next." Ning Yuren waved his hand, his expression a little confused, "Director Shi told me to stop imitating others, especially not to imitate Bai Rong, famous people like Chi Xueli. Actresses... don't imitate them, who am I imitating?"
Ning Yuren has been scolded by Director Shi during this period of time, because she is always imitating some popular porn stars unknowingly when she is acting, but she also imitates extremely realistically, even some small actions that they themselves probably didn't notice. The imitation is so good that if you don't pay attention, you think it's the porn star herself.
However, this is the "Man in the Picture" crew, not a super parody.
"I... I don't seem to be able to create something out of nothing." Ning Yuren pressed her eyes with a napkin, her eyeliner had already melted away, and her eyes were all black. "I can't play someone I haven't seen before."
Ning Ning looked at her with a very complicated mood. She originally thought that with the same emotions as the characters in the play, her mother could break through herself, just like herself...
That way, mom doesn't need a movie ticket...
"...Is there no place in this world that can let me meet more people?" Ning Yuren on the opposite side seemed to have forgotten Ningning's existence, and muttered to himself, "I really want to go to a place, someone with a In ancient times, there are people from the Republic of China, princesses, and female slaves. Where there are a lot of people, it is best to have people who are not in reality... I can imitate it as you like... "
Ning Ning opened her mouth, but she didn't know what to say to her. She glanced behind her inadvertently, and suddenly forgot to speak.
There is a window behind Ning Yu, because the weather is a little cold today, so the window is closed, and there is a shadow in the lower right corner of the window. mask.
A smiling face mask is sticking to the window and watching them.
With a bang, the coffee cup on the table was knocked over, and the brown coffee quickly spread across the table. Ning Yuren, who was opposite, screamed and stood up.
The waiter hurried over to clean up. After a while of chaos, Ning Ning looked at the window again and found that the mask was gone.
"Am I wrong?" Ning Ning stared at the window, thinking with lingering fears.
After that, the two did not stay in the cafe and went back to the place where they lived together. Because the previous matter had been suppressed, everyone saw them and thought they were coming back from eating out. Shi Dao also patted the beer belly with them. Made a joke: "You won't be back until this time? Don't get fat, you won't be able to wear the costume tomorrow."
"No, no." Ning Ning replied with a smile, but Ning Yuren behind her didn't dare to speak at all.
The two went up the stairs one after the other, and because they lived on the same floor, they walked down the long corridor one after the other.
Ning Yuren lived in the middle, and Ning Ning lived at the end of the corridor, so Ning Yuren arrived first. She opened the door, hesitated, and said in Ningning's direction, "Good night."
Ning Ning turned back with a smile, but the word good night choked in her mouth.
In the direction the two of them came from, a smiling face mask stuck out from behind the wall, watching them quietly.
"... What?" Ning Yuren was a little horrified by her expression, she quickly looked back, there was nothing behind her, she breathed a sigh of relief, turned back and said to Ning Ning, "I'm back in my room. ."
"Oh... oh..." Ning Ning replied, in fact, her mind went blank and she didn't know what she was talking about. When the door slammed and she was alone in the corridor, she regained her senses and hurried back to her room.
She had a bit of insomnia at night. As soon as she closed her eyes, she felt that a mask appeared beside her, so she didn't dare to open her eyes at all. She opened her eyes tremblingly, and then heaved a sigh of relief.
"What's wrong?" During the break after a scene, Shi Zhongtang reached out and touched her face, and said worriedly, "You look a little haggard."
"... I didn't sleep well last night." Ning Ning hesitated for a while, wondering if he should tell the truth.
"Then do you want me to accompany you?" Shi Zhongtang said with a smile, "Actually, being an actor is just my side business, and I am best at singing lullabies."
Ning Ning gave him a roll of eyes.
At this time, there was a sudden noise from the side, and someone shouted: "Catch him!"
The two looked at the sound, and saw that the security guards were shaking the tree desperately, the leaves were falling, and an entertainment reporter had a camera hanging around his neck, and his hands were clinging to the trunk of the tree.
"Wow, it's not easy." Shi Zhongtang rubbed his chin and looked at the entertainment reporter who was clamoring for you to come up, "This year's entertainment reporter is not bad, it can go to heaven."
The road was one foot high, and the magic was ten feet high. A security guard rushed over with a chainsaw and threatened to saw the tree. The people above were reluctant to come down and handed over the photos he took and the camera. negatives.
"Take a look at me." Shi Zhongtang came over to grab the fruits of victory and shared it with Ning Ning.
He is the biggest actor in the crew, so the photos are mainly taken of him, and Ning Ning suspects that this person may be his fanboy. shoot…
Ning Ning was stunned for a while, staring at the photo in front of him.
"What's wrong?" Shi Zhongtang leaned over and glanced at it, with the corners of his mouth upturned, "Yes, this couple's photo is quite good, I'll frame it when I look back."
The photo was taken from top to bottom. It was the scene where Shi Zhongtang reached out and touched Ning Ning's face. The leaves were colorful and the beauty lowered her eyebrows. This scene is indeed picturesque... but that's not the point.
"Look at this." Ningning pointed to the corner of the photo and asked, "Do you recognize this person?"
In the corner of the photo, nearby staff were also photographed, including Shi Dao who was drinking water, Ning Yuren who was doing makeup, a makeup artist who had dropped her eyebrow pencil and was bending over to pick it up, and a… man in mask.
"Well?" Shi Zhongtang frowned, stared at the masked man for a while, then took the photo from Ning Ning's hand, and left a sentence, "Lend me."
He took the photo to find Shi Dao, and he didn't know what he said, but the security staff quickly got busy again. Unfortunately, this time the busyness was fruitless. The masked person in the photo seemed to be missing, and no matter what did not find.
"It might be a prank by some crew member." Shi Zhongtang came back with the photo and shrugged, "I guess it was secretly taken from the props team."
Ning Ning took the photo and knew that it was not a prank. Although the figure above was blurred and the mask on the other party's face was blurred, she recognized it because she had seen it twice in a row before.
It was a smiling mask.
Because there was a false alarm today, at the end of the filming, Shi Dao specially invited everyone to go out for a meal. Everyone was very happy. After going there, they found out that this guy was losing weight, and then a group of people faced the table full of dried vegetables. stare...
After coming out, many people went straight to the roadside stall, waved the banknotes and said, "First come three skewers of barbecue."
Ning Ning searched, and found that Ning Yuren was also sitting in a shop, drinking the bowl of millet porridge on the table. She also followed in. The shopkeeper put a glass of water in front of her. She thanked her, took out the photo in her pocket, put it on the table, and handed it to the opposite side.
Ning Yuren stopped eating, took a look at the photo, and then looked at her suspiciously.
"Do you have an impression of him?" Ningning asked.
Ning Yuren shook his head.
"He has appeared several times." Ningning said, "the first time was in the cafe, looking at us through the window, the second time in the corridor, sticking out his head to look at us, the third time..."
She stopped suddenly, sweat slipping from her forehead.
The first time outside the window, the second time in the hallway, the third time around...
Does it mean that the distance between the mask and them has been shortening.
On the opposite side, Ning Yuren's eyes slowly became round and round.
Ning Ning lowered her head and looked at the cup of warm water in front of her.
On the water, a smiling mask is reflected.
He has come behind her.
