Lu Yinbing firmly believed that timely communication was the most important thing in maintaining a relationship. Many relationships were lost in the process of guessing. She herself was not a person who liked to beat around the bush, so she asked directly, "Have you ever learned to sing before?"
Xia Yitong held up her phone in one hand and stretched out her other hand, dancing barefoot on the floor in an invisible house. When she heard her question, she answered without thinking, "I have learned it."
"How long have you studied?"
"Since—" Xia Yitong's voice paused, "When I was in junior high school, I liked a singer very much, so I went to learn singing."
Xia Yitong did not start learning music in junior high school, but in elementary school. Before her parents had a car accident, their financial situation was good enough, so she learned piano and violin. Later, she went to an orphanage, but the director never gave up. The director thought she had talent, so he used his own pocket money to enroll her in a special vocal training class. She practiced until she was fifteen, and then suddenly stopped. Over the years, she would squeeze out free time to learn about this, but she no longer wanted to go down the music path again to realize her previous dream. She just regarded it as a hobby that could sustain her for a lifetime.
But it would be better for Lu Yinbing not to know about this, at least not now. If she knew, it would only make her feel guilty. Maybe she would make up for it by re-planning her career and move towards being a singer or a dual-role singer, but she had to take one step at a time. She knew her own strengths and weaknesses. She was still shaky on the road of being an actor, so she really had no time to focus on another thing. It was okay to sing occasionally, but she was not capable of doing it as a career at the moment.
As an actress, she has been doing this for many years, not just because of Lu Yinbing. She also likes acting and has her own goals. As Lu Yinbing told her, why doesn't she believe that she can reach the top
The real strength is to do one thing to the extreme, leaving no regrets. If you have the energy to do it, then go and realize the dream that was once forgotten.
"Don't you only like me?" Lu Yinbing said resentfully, not expecting that such an old secret could be dug out.
"You are an actor, and he is a singer. It's different."
"Then why don't you like others to like me?"
"Because she's not as pretty as you." Xia Yitong said confidently.
Lu Yinbing: “…”
When did Xia Yitong learn this trick from her? This aura of "all the principles in the world are in me" is so Lu-like that it makes her feel a little secretly happy while gritting her teeth, as if Xia Yitong is being marked with her mark.
Lu Yinbing said: "I'll take this as a compliment."
Xia Yitong: "It's a compliment. You are the most beautiful person in the world."
Lu Yinbing asked: "What about you?"
"I'm the third best looking."
"Who is the second?" Lu Yinbing showed a dangerous expression.
"Dean."
"Okay," Lu Yinbing asked again, "Who is the singer?"
"Stefanie Sun."
"Oh, I saw her at an event a while ago."
"Really?" Xia Yitong smiled.
"Next time I see her, can I express my love for her on your behalf?"
"No need, I met her on xx TV's New Year's Eve last year and she said it herself."
Lu Yinbing snorted softly.
Xia Yitong let out a soft "Ah" and said, "Didn't I tell you that I like another singer? My favorite one is not Stefanie Sun."
Lu Yinbing was almost drowned in jealousy and asked unhappily, "Who is it?"
“You.”
"… "
"I downloaded the theme song and interlude song you sang for the movie on my phone. I listen to them whenever I have nothing to do. I just listen to other people's songs and then delete them."
"I was just singing casually. It's all thanks to the tuner."
"I don't care, it just sounds good. I like you the most. You are the singer and you are also the actor." Xia Yitong said shamelessly.
Lu Yinbing got goose bumps all over his body because of her sourness. He laughed and cursed at the same time: "You're annoying. I need to eat now. After dinner, I'll take a break from filming. We'll talk to you tonight."
Xia Yitong: "Okay, muah."
Lu Yinbing: “Ding.” and was about to hang up the phone.
Xia Yitong shouted unwillingly: "How about muah, muah?"
Lu Yinbing decisively refused: "No."
Xia Yitong: “Oh, oh, oh.”
Lu Yinbing touched his arm, which was covered with hair standing on end, and said, "Hang up, I really need to eat."
"Well, the filming went well this afternoon." Xia Yitong regained his composure in a second, "You hang up first."
Lu Yinbing pursed her lips, pointed her finger at the hang-up button, said "momo" to the microphone, and pressed it immediately. Half a minute later, a WeChat message came into her phone:
Xia Yitong - [Crazy]
Lu Yinbing replied—hahahaha burp
Xia Yitong - Can you kiss me again? [Poor]
Lu Yinbing - Not good [Proud]
Xia Yitong - hum q(s^t)r
Lu Yinbing fell asleep to Xia Yitong's singing every day, and looked at the countdown when he woke up in the morning. Because he was full of anticipation, he went to the set every time with high spirits, and his shooting state was better than before. Finally, the number on it turned to 0.
At two o'clock in the afternoon, Xia Yitong finished her notice and gave Fang Wei four days off. She rushed to the airport alone with her suitcase, her feet were so fast that she wished she could just fly with wings instead of a plane. The fewer people who knew about her visit to the set, the better. It was not that she did not trust Fang Wei, but she was afraid of attracting attention. It was stealthy and easier to get away alone.
When they arrived at the city airport where the filming was taking place, Xia Yitong put on sunglasses and a mask in advance, fastened the hood of her hoodie, came out of the VIP channel, and took out her mobile phone to send a message to Lu Yinbing.
Lu Yinbing was restless the whole day. After taking a shot, he immediately looked for his phone. This time, Xia Yitong sent a message during his break. He replied immediately—Ahhh
Xia Yitong—Teacher Lu, what’s wrong with you
Lu Yinbing - [Groundhog screaming.gif]
Lu Yinbing - [Groundhog screaming.gif]
After ten screams in a row, Xia Yitong pulled his hat down and hid in the shadows to laugh. Then Lu Yinbing said - calm down your excitement, Xue Yao is outside the airport, I asked her to call you and she will bring you over.
Xia Yitong—President Xue came to pick me up in person. Is this a big deal for me
Lu Yinbing - If possible, I would like to pick you up in person, roll out a red carpet for you, scatter flower petals all the way, and have a long line of Bentley cars line the road to welcome you. Wouldn't that be a great honor
Xia Yitong - Flattered, Flattered [Cheers]
Lu Yinbing—The director called me, ah, wait for me to come back.
Before Xia Yitong could even say "OK", Xue Yao called. Xia Yitong had already changed her name to her future manager. She took a deep breath and said with a hint of respect, "Sister Yao."
Then she got into the car according to Xue Yao's instructions and sat in the back seat.
This was the second time she and Xue Yao met. The first time was on the set of "Breaking Snow". Xue Yao went to visit Lu Yinbing on the set and they met. Xia Yitong had the impression that Xue Yao was smart, decisive and taciturn. However, unlike Su Han's efficiency, Xue Yao always made Xia Yitong feel like a fox was smiling at her.
Xue Yao was driving in front, observing Xia Yitong through the rearview mirror. She noticed her nervousness and fear, and couldn't help but laugh. Since she was the daughter of Little Devil Lu, she would naturally treat her as her own daughter... Bah, treating her like a real sister, she almost made herself look old.
"You..." Xue Yao started.
Xia Yitong sat up straight reflexively: "Sister Yao, go ahead."
Xue Yao smiled and said, "Don't be so nervous. It's Lu Yinbing who wants to eat you, not me."
Xia Yitong was stunned for a moment, then her ears turned red and she lowered her eyebrows uncomfortably.
"I see you're quite looking forward to it." Xue Yao looked up at the rearview mirror and said teasingly.
"I...I..." If someone else teased her, Xia Yitong would definitely not be so nervous, but the person in front of her was Lu Yinbing's agent, and had a close relationship with Lu Yinbing. According to Lu Yinbing, he was like half her mother. However, she must not let Xue Yao hear this. Being told this by her half-mother-in-law, Xia Yitong was so embarrassed that she wanted to crawl into the seam of the car.
Xue Yao sighed.
Xia Yitong plucked up her courage but still didn't dare to ask her why she sighed. Xue Yao took the initiative to explain: "I originally saw that you were very domineering on Weibo and in the show, and I thought you could control her. I planned to win you over so that I could save myself some worries. Now it seems that you are also a paper tiger, worrying me."
Xia Yitong couldn't help but laugh.
Xue Yao really acted like a half-mother-in-law, recounting with her daughter-in-law Xia Yitong the troubles that Lu Yinbing had caused since his debut, and she was the one who had to clean up every one of them. Xia Yitong had heard about those things, but the version she knew was very different from Xue Yao's first-hand information. The two chatted all the way, and when they arrived at the set, Xia Yitong no longer felt that Xue Yao was like a fox, but like a big female cat who was worried about her own ignorant kitten.
At the same time, Xia Yitong also felt from these things that Lu Yinbing Studio had strong adaptability and public relations capabilities to emergencies. Compared with them, her own company's public relations were simply rubbish.
Xue Yao said that Lu Yinbing was definitely the biggest contributor.
Xue Yao pretended to be serious and said, "I suspect she is training us on purpose!"
Xia Yitong couldn't stop laughing. The longer she knew Lu Yinbing, the more she found that she was different from what she had imagined. This made her feel vaguely relaxed during the process of digesting the truth. It turned out that Lu Yinbing was just a mortal, a person like herself, not a god.
The car stopped outside the studio. Xue Yao told her not to move and went down to take a walk. When she came back, she called her, "Come down. There are no paparazzi waiting." Xia Yitong covered herself and jumped out of the car.
Xue Yao brought her a takeaway lunch box and said, "Just pretend to be Lu Yinbing's assistant and bring her dinner. She has several assistants and they are very busy inside. No one will notice you."
With Xue Yao leading the way, Xia Yitong had no problems and entered the backstage after many twists and turns. As Xue Yao said, the staff were busy moving around, moving props, taking things, calling each other, and had no time to pay attention to the extra person in ordinary clothes.
Xue Yao asked: "Do you want to go over and see her?"
Xia Yitong was so excited that she was looking forward to the filming area in the distance. Upon hearing this, she didn't even bother to hide her emotion and nodded vigorously.
Xue Yao led her there.
In the central shooting area, Lu Yinbing's scene was indeed being filmed, but it should be before a scene started. Lu Yinbing was wearing a costume, with a slender figure and a casual standing posture. One of her hands clenched and unclenched mechanically. The director was explaining the scene to her, and she occasionally nodded thoughtfully, and suddenly the corner of her mouth curled up. The director was puzzled, and then saw her retract her hand.
One minute later.
The director exhaled, and his mouth seemed to say, "Get it?"
Lu Yinbing replied: "OK."
The director stepped out, sat behind the monitor, and said loudly, "Get ready for the next scene."
The stage manager came over with a clapperboard. Before starting, Lu Yinbing suddenly looked up in the direction of Xia Yitong and met her eyes, with the corners of his eyes slightly curved upwards.
Did she see me? I clearly didn't tell her, and she hadn't looked over here just now.
Are you in sync
Xia Yitong's heart skipped a beat.
