When the clock struck zero, Xu Luoyang made two wishes sincerely. The first is to hope that Chang'an will be healthy and less suffering from illness. The second is to hope that in the new year, I will also have a good movie and improve my acting skills.
Afraid of being too greedy, the chances of his wish being fulfilled would be reduced. Xu Luoyang reluctantly gave up the two wishes of "hoping to win an award" and "hoping to eat meat every day".
Qi Changan saw him put his hands together, closed his eyes and made a serious wish, and asked him with a smile, "What wish did you make, Luoyang?"
Xu Luoyang just wanted to say the wish, but it didn't work, but he thought that Qi Changan was a big monster, different from ordinary people, and told him that it should not violate the laws of heaven and earth or something? So I lowered my voice and whispered, "My first wish is to hope that in the new year, you will be healthy and less sick. The second is to hope that next year my acting skills will improve a little bit, and there will be a good script to shoot."
After speaking, he looked at Qi Changan earnestly, "Do you think these two wishes can be realized?"
Qi Changan met Xu Luoyang's look at him. He didn't expect that Xu Luoyang would put his wish to be healthy first.
On the dry land at the bottom of my heart, a clear spring emerged, spreading out inch by inch, as if buds and flowers would bloom soon.
And Xu Luoyang took Qi Changan's silence for more than ten seconds, and understood that the other party was sensing the laws of heaven and earth, so he looked at Qi Changan expectantly without urging him.
After a long time, Qi Changan nodded with a gentle voice, "Your wish will definitely come true."
"That's great!" Xu Luoyang jumped on the spot happily, then went around Qi Changan's back, put his hand on the other's shoulder, and exerted a little force, "The year has passed, my wish may be fulfilled, Mr. Qi should go to bed now. !"
Qi Changan smiled and let him push him, and walked forward cooperatively, "Okay, see you tomorrow." Then he turned his head to look at Xu Luoyang, "Good night."
"Good night, Mr. Qi!"
Holidays are always short and pass in a flash. On the first day of the new year, after having lunch with Qi Changan, Xu Luoyang and Qi Changan stepped on the plane and arrived at Jialuo Film and Television City after nine o'clock in the evening. As soon as he put down his luggage, he was called by Chu Wei to discuss the arrangements for tomorrow's filming.
Hearing the knock on the door, Chu Wei raised his head and glanced at Xu Luoyang, "So happy in the new year?"
Xu Luoyang wanted to hum a song when he was in a good mood, but he restrained himself from wanting to show off, "Yes, I'm in a very good mood!" After saying that, he handed a red envelope to Chu Wei, "Director, there are Six hundred and sixty-six dollars, I hope our filming crew goes smoothly!"
The amount is not much, mainly because of the implication, Chu Wei did not refuse, he stretched out his hand and put it away, and handed him the script, "I changed a few details, you can take it back and have a look, if you think it is inappropriate, we will discuss it tomorrow. change."
Xu Luoyang nodded, "Okay, I'll take a look when I go back."
Although Chu Wei was procrastinating in filming and often came up with whims, he would discuss with the actors when it came to the role.
"Well, you still have to pay attention to rest." Chu Wei calculated again, "Your scene will be finished in a week, and there will be more rival scenes later. An actor will join the group tomorrow, and he will play your half-brother. Xian. After the person comes, you will play with him first. If the atmosphere is good, then keep the person, if the effect is not good, we will replace the person."
Xu Luoyang definitely couldn't answer such words, he just nodded, "I will definitely act well, director, you should also take rest."
But early the next morning, Xu Luoyang found out that the new cast members were acquaintances.
"Xia Nan? I haven't seen you for a long time!" Because he was wearing a wig and couldn't move, Xu Luoyang had no choice but to raise his hand and shake it to say hello, and spoke to Xia Nan in the mirror, "Yesterday Director Chu was still saying that someone joined the group today, no I thought it was you, there was no news at all before!"
"It's been a long time indeed." Although they were in the same circle, there was no overlap in work. He and Xu Luoyang had not seen each other for one year and three months.
Xia Nan stood there, looked at Xu Luoyang in the mirror, and said with a smile, "I don't dare to brag until I get the exact result. The agent only informed me yesterday afternoon that the role has been decided. So I hurried to clean up. Luggage, I was so excited that I couldn’t sleep at night, so I came here on an early flight, and I just arrived, and the luggage hasn’t been unpacked yet.”
What he didn't say was that since he knew that Xu Luoyang had joined Chu Wei's crew, and the actor for a role had not yet been decided, he urged his agent to contact him, and finally won the role. When I got to the crew, I didn't have time to rest, so I ran to find Xu Luoyang.
He hadn't seen each other for too long, and he was worried that in Xu Luoyang's eyes, he had become a stranger.
After listening to the stylist Tang Fang, she glanced at Xia Nan.
Xu Luoyang didn't think much about it. He thought it was a pleasure to meet his old friend. He thought about it and said, "I was about the same time, and I rushed over after getting off the plane. In the end, I didn't have time to introduce myself to Director Chu. Put on the costume and start shooting. You can hurry up and eat something, and the director will come in a while, and it should start shooting directly."
He kindly provided the information - the director is very efficient, and if you don't want to be hungry when you're filming, let's go eat quickly.
Xia Nan understood, he looked at Xu Luoyang a few more times before leaving the dressing room.
Not long after the person left, Zheng Dong called.
After talking about business affairs and daily life, when Xu Luoyang said that the new recruit was Xia Nan, Zheng Dong immediately sounded the alarm and asked without a trace, "Have you seen someone?"
"Of course I saw it. Xia Nan said that he came to me without leaving his luggage. I guess it must be because he was a new member of the group, and he was a little uneasy about the temperament of the director. Didn't he and I participate in the same variety show before? He is still an acquaintance, so he rushed to find me to learn from the scriptures, and he can understand it. I roughly reminded him a few words."
"… "
After Zheng Dong heard this, he didn't know how to answer. This Xia Nan chased after Xu Luoyang for two years before giving up, which is also commendable for perseverance. What is the situation now? Are you ready to make a comeback
But Zheng Dong doesn't really understand it. If Xia Nan put this perseverance into acting, he would have won the Best Actor 80% of the time. Why did he have to hang himself on the crooked neck tree stump in Xu Luoyang
After recalling the words Xu Luoyang said twice in his mind, Zheng Dong felt that Xu Luoyang should be single for another hundred years.
As Xu Luoyang estimated, as soon as Chu Wei arrived on the set, he asked the stylist to take Xia Nan to make up and change clothes.
Xia Nan's opera road is not wide, and the appearance and temperament are biased towards the role of a gentleman in ancient costumes. He had thought about trying other ways of acting before, but all failed. So he didn't struggle at all, he could make money anyway, and it's easier to get fans for such a role.
This time, the character Zi Xian he played is also gentle and generous, but he does things in a slow and indecisive manner, and sometimes appears cowardly and withdrawn.
Chu Wei looked at Xia Nan, who was wearing a complex retro outfit, several times, and felt that although the appearance did not give him a sense of surprise like Xu Luoyang, he was still able to see it. So he made a gesture and said to Xu Luoyang, "Zichu goes over, let's play for a while to see how it feels."
Xu Luoyang nodded, and after walking over, he turned his back to the camera, and said in a low voice and quickly, "Find a scene where your lines are more familiar."
Xia Nan had never met such a director before, so he was a little confused, but after a few years of acting, he quickly adjusted his situation. As for a few lines that he couldn't remember clearly, he also slipped through it without a hitch.
Hearing Chu Wei's voice, they both stopped and waited for the director's evaluation.
Chu Wei never knew what it means to be merciful, and he didn't scold anyone, but his tone was flat, "After the show, the temperament is not bad, but the lines are not good at all, I'll give you two days, if you still can't remember the lines, you can pack up and go. people."
Standing by the side, Xu Luoyang looked at the decorations on the carpet, and felt that Director Chu's words pierced through the heart. Thinking back to the first time he joined the group, Director Chu asked him to be thinner. Compared with this time, it was as warm as spring.
So while waiting for lunch, Xia Nan came to him with the script for the opposite role. Recalling the days when he joined the group, he stayed up all night reading the script and memorizing the lines so bitterly. Xu Luoyang decided to be helpful and didn't say no.
Sitting on the chair next to him, and seeing Xu Luoyang sending messages very quickly, Xia Nan asked tentatively, "Are you chatting with Qi Changan?"
Xu Luoyang nodded, "Yes, how do you know?"
Xia Nan's mouth was a little bitter, but his tone was still normal, "I've often seen you on hot searches with him recently, so I just guessed it." Finding that Xu Luoyang was not angry, he said in a relaxed tone, "Before You are cooperating in Director Zhang's play, I thought it was the propaganda method of the film party, but I didn't expect that in fact, your relationship is so good."
Hearing what Xia Nan said, Xu Luoyang felt a little uncomfortable in his heart, "It's good." Not wanting to say more, he simply pointed to the script, "Hurry up and play the show, there are still forty minutes before work starts again. already."
For the next three days, Chu Wei watched coldly, Xia Nan almost took all the rest time to find Xu Luoyang, and was very attentive. There are detailed routines such as bringing breakfast, delivering drinks, and handing over scripts, and there are work routines such as asking for guidance, asking for the right play, and asking for roles.
He has always been very accurate in seeing people, and he knew it, so he called Qi Changan.
Qi Changan answered quickly, "Director Chu? Did something happen to Luoyang?"
"Nothing happened." Chu Wei looked at Xia Nan, who took the script to find Xu Luoyang's opposite play, and said slowly, "Friendly reminder, if you don't come here, your sweet cake will be taken away."
In the first scene in the afternoon, the emperor Zichu personally took a long-handled knife and cut off the head of a general under the command in front of Prince Xian of Yingchuan, who was obsessed with negotiating peace. Zixian was frightened. Pale face.
Director Chu clearly demanded that the swipe of the knife should be both fierce and beautiful, and not too bloody, and the matching facial expressions should show an awe-inspiring and inviolable beauty.
So, Xu Luoyang was directed by Chu over thirty times for this action.
After finally meeting the requirements, Director Chu let all the staff rest in place for ten minutes. Xu Luoyang was wearing more than 20 pounds of armor and walked to the rest area next to him, and he was about to fall apart.
He took out the thermos cup from his bag and checked it out habitually first—Xu Luoyang always paid great attention to the food and water he wanted to drink. Usually he would let Lu Di hold it for him, but today Lu Di had a cold, so Xu Luoyang asked him to go back to the dressing room to rest.
After confirming that there was no problem with the thermos cup, Xu Luoyang reached out and twisted the lid of the cup. But he had swung the long-handled knife too many times before, and his hands were shaking all the time. He tried several times but failed to unscrew the lid of the cup.
Xia Nan happened to come over with the script, noticed this detail, and quickly said, "Can I help you open it?"
Putting the cup back on the plastic stool subconsciously, Xu Luoyang smiled, "No need, it means that I have no fate with it today. Maybe God will let me drink less water and reduce the number of trips to the toilet."
He was wearing ancient costumes and armor, and the cumbersomeness of going to the toilet made him collapse every time.
At this time, the thermos cup on the stool was suddenly picked up, followed by a worried voice, "Is your hand out of strength?"
Xu Luoyang blinked, didn't dare to look back, and whispered to himself, "Did I have a hallucination?" Otherwise, how could he hear Qi Changan's voice
The voice that appeared again contained some helplessness and a smile, "No auditory hallucinations, turn back."
So Xu Luoyang turned his head carefully and saw Qi Changan standing behind him. The other party's hair has been carefully groomed, and she is wearing a custom-made long cashmere coat with a casually tied scarf, making her tall and long legs. Holding a thermos cup in his hand, he wears a hand-made mechanical watch inlaid with sapphire on his exposed wrist.
"Chang'an!" Xu Luoyang's armor was too heavy to jump up, but his brows and eyes were full of smiles, obviously very happy, "Why are you here?"
"Come and twist the lid of the cup for you." Qi Changan handed him the thermos cup with the lid off, "Drink it."
Xu Luoyang completely forgot what he said just now that he didn't drink water, so he took the cup naturally and drank half of it in one go.
At this time, a hotel staff member who came with Qi Changan was pushing a trolley and giving the staff hot drinks next to each other.
When Xu Luoyang saw it, he immediately felt that boiled water was unpleasant to drink. He tugged at Qi Changan's sleeve, "What did you bring here?"
"Hot cocoa, hot coffee, and hot milk tea." After understanding Xu Luoyang's expression, Qi Changan smiled, "Do you want to drink it too?"
"I want to drink," Xu Luoyang nodded, looking at Qi Changan eagerly, "I want to drink hot cocoa."
"On New Year's Eve, who was determined to say that in order to maintain the current weight, we must reject all high-calorie and high-fat things?" That's what he said, but Qi Changan still went to get him a cup of hot cocoa and came back carefully. After inserting the straw, he handed it to Xu Luoyang and instructed, "It's a little hot, be careful."
After Xu Luoyang took a sip and squinted his eyes with satisfaction, Qi Changan looked at Xia Nan, who had been standing beside him and had not spoken, and his tone returned to his usual indifference, "Hello, I'm Qi Changan."
Glancing at Xu Luoyang, who was standing beside Qi Changan and was concentrating on drinking hot drinks, Xia Nan forced a smile, "Hello, I'm Xia Nan."
"It's the first time we met. Thank you for taking care of Luoyang these days. What would Mr. Xia like to drink? I'll have someone bring it over."
Xu Luoyang didn't notice the ups and downs at all, and nodded his head while biting the straw, "That's right, the hot drinks brought by Chang'an are very delicious. Would you like to try it, Xia Nan?"
Xia Nan couldn't laugh anymore, "Thank you, then I want a cup of coffee."
