After Xia Yitong finished listening, she did not respond. Lu Yinbing asked in confusion on the other end of the phone: "Why don't you speak?"
"Nothing." Xia Yitong said these three words without thinking.
Lu Yinbing frowned when he heard this: "Just tell me what you have to say. If I find out you're hiding something, I'll be angry."
Xia Yitong paused for a few seconds and then expressed his concerns.
Lu Yinbing was sitting in a bright office at this time, stroking the black desk with his fingers, and smiled: "Am I the kind of person who would trip over the same stone a second time? The last time was many years ago. I know my limits, don't worry."
Hearing Lu Yinbing's relaxed tone, Xia Yitong's heart was temporarily put at ease, and she began to ask her about the specific arrangements. Lu Yinbing said that children forget things quickly, so she would contact the mental hospital first and put her in for four months to get her feeling, and then stay with the little girl for two months before the filming to avoid estrangement after a long time.
Xia Yitong agreed and asked her when she would come to Shaolin Temple to see her again.
Lu Yinbing held the phone and said, "Wait for me to see."
Then he looked through her schedule and counted backwards. Twenty days later, it was almost time for Xia Yitong to go down the mountain and join the crew. The two of them decided to just wait until then and then Lu Yinbing would go and pick her up.
It was late summer when we went up the mountain and the heat was still lingering, and it was already autumn when we went down the mountain with the ground covered in golden yellow.
Xia Yitong took off the leggings that had almost grown with her for the past three months, and bid farewell to Mr. Li Xiuyi who had taught her so carefully. She walked so lightly that she felt like she was about to take off. From time to time, she turned her head to ask Lu Yinbing beside her to hold her.
There was a protruding wooden stake on the side of the road. Lu Yinbing pointed at it and said, "Jump."
In the past, Xia Yitong would never have been able to jump over this height, but now, with a running sprint, she easily jumped over it. Lu Yinbing took out a DV from his bag and said, "You go ahead."
Lu Yinbing held up a DV and filmed from behind, explaining: "Three months have passed in a flash. Our Xia Yitong has undergone systematic training and I believe she will be able to handle the new role. Looking at her overall image, her hands and feet seem to be more powerful, and her punches are more powerful. But she is too dark, so I guess she will have to put on more powder when putting on makeup. I feel bad for the cost. But this is all done to polish the role, and I hope she can get better and better."
This road is rarely traveled. It is a small path developed by the monks themselves. Xia Yitong was "flying" in front. After flying for a while, he looked back at Lu Yinbing and asked in confusion: "Why have you been filming this DV since you bought it, Teacher Lu?"
"You didn't ask me for it." Lu Yinbing said with a smile, "If you want it, I'll give it to you."
Xia Yitong stopped and waited for her to come over, then took the DV from her and started filming Lu Yinbing. She was very quiet and too embarrassed to speak in a self-directed manner, so the camera was also very quiet. There was no sound except for her breathing, footsteps, and the rustling of wind through the leaves.
She filmed Lu Yinbing walking for half an hour. Occasionally, she would turn around and ask her a question, and she would reply, which would add a dialogue to the video. Otherwise, it would be silent. Lu Yinbing sighed and put the DV away, saying she didn't want to waste electricity.
How she came, how she will go back. When she got on the plane back to Beijing, Xia Yitong looked at her palms over and over again, and suddenly realized that three months had passed. She had to bid farewell to the role of an ordinary practitioner and return to the stage of an actor.
Lu Yinbing prepared a welcoming banquet for her. There were only three people, Laiying, her, and Lu Yinbing, in the villa. When Laiying saw Xia Yitong for the first time, she almost didn't recognize her. She looked at her for a long time before coming up. She sighed and said, "It's not easy."
Xia Yitong also became puzzled, and looked at Lu Yinbing and said, "I think your skin color looks good now, wheat color, so healthy."
Lu Yinbing was busy ordering takeout. He looked up at the two of them and said, "You're right."
I guess I didn't listen carefully.
The living room of the villa has a KTV with song ordering, a large display screen, and top-notch speakers. After having a good meal and a good drink, the three of them played Jay Chou's "Sunny Day" single on repeat as background music, took out a deck of cards from the cabinet under the coffee table, sat on the carpet to play Landlord, and tore a bunch of paper strips, soaked them in water and pasted them on the loser's face. Because Lu Yinbing only played the king bomb and didn't play cards properly at all, and Xia Yitong was still a novice, Laiying was very happy to play two games at once. He had red wine on hand and drank happily after winning. When Lu and Xia's faces were covered with paper strips, Laiying burped and fell asleep on his back.
Lu Yinbing and Xia Yitong drank less. They ordered dozens of songs on the computer, carried the red wine and the wine glass and placed them in the middle. They sang one song after another and poured down one glass after another. When they sang "thanks thanks thanks thanks monica", Laiying kicked Lu Yinbing in the butt and cursed in a daze: "Third your uncle, you're not done with three yet." Lu Yinbing was indignant and threw down the microphone and beat her.
Xia Yitong sang to the screen alone: "Who can replace you? You taught me the true meaning of love..."
She finished singing and turned her head. Lu Yinbing and Laiying fell asleep in the wrestling position. Xia Yitong chuckled twice, her eyes blurry with drunkenness. She tried to pry the light away with her hands, but it didn't move. Instead, double images appeared in front of her eyes. She glanced at the sky outside which had completely darkened, shook her head, struggled to crawl over to turn off the speakers, hugged one of Lu Yinbing's legs, rubbed her cheek on the denim fabric, and fell asleep.
Before dawn, a finger that was pressed underneath moved and pushed away the person on top of it. The three of them woke up one by one. Lu Yinbing took Xia Yitong upstairs to their room to sleep. Laiying climbed onto the sofa nearby, closed his eyes, used his hands and feet to unfold the towel blanket, covered himself, and became self-sufficient.
After a very decadent night, Laiying washed up early the next morning, had breakfast and left quickly. The dog food attack was too strong, and she was afraid that she would be killed if she stayed any longer.
Lu Yinbing lay in bed all morning without getting up. Xia Yitong brought her breakfast and lunch. Xia Yitong sat on the small sofa on the balcony and memorized her lines, while she used her Kindle to read professional books on mental illness.
The two do not interfere with each other.
The official Weibo of the TV series "Mei Qi" announces new cast members every day. Xia Yitong was the first to be confirmed, and gradually the second and third female roles and other important supporting roles were added. The original novel is very popular, and the main creative staff are all from the film industry. The drama has received great attention from the beginning. Book fans called the director a conscience as soon as they saw the name of the director, and when they saw the name of the female lead Xia Yitong, the reaction was not as strong as before when they saw the novel adapted into a TV series. Most of them maintained a good attitude and expressed their expectation for Xia Yitong's interpretation. It can be seen that the positive impact brought by "Breaking Snow" is long-lasting.
As luck would have it, in order to whet everyone’s appetite, the male lead has not been announced yet.
So some people began to speculate:
Holding on to the ice shrimp and not letting go: Will it be another cross-dressing? Is there a sex scene [starry eyes]
Shangqiongbiluxiahuangquan: No way, Shen Lu never took any TV series except the one she made her debut in. Now she has everything, and there is no benefit for her to take this TV series.
Qin Jiajun: It’s hard to say. Isn’t Xia Yitong from Lu Yinbing’s company? Maybe she will come back for a guest appearance. Director Qin has already gone into the entertainment industry, so anything is possible [laughs]
The Burning Years of Ji Love: The Legend of Two Ji in One Family[doge]
He is the young emperor vivian: The two girls upstairs are trying to make me laugh to death so that they can inherit my ant Huabei with a credit limit of 100,000 yuan 233333
Many netizens were just watching the fun, but even if the person involved wanted to make a cameo appearance, he had no chance. Without waiting for Xia Yitong to join the crew, Lu Yinbing had already agreed on a date for admission with the mental hospital.
On December 3, the weather in Beijing was still such that one had to wear anti-smog masks. Vehicles were moving slowly on the road, visibility was very low, and pedestrians on both sides were walking in a hurry. No one wanted to stay outside for even a moment longer.
No matter how hard they tried, they were still half an hour late for the appointment. The person who came out to greet them was a director of the hospital named Huang. Director Huang looked at the woman next to Lu Yinbing in a black windbreaker, a mask and a hat. Lu Yinbing said, "My assistant, she's the one who carries my clothes for me."
Xia Yitong got a lot tanned after this trip, and she was thinner than before. People who didn't know her well couldn't recognize her at first glance. Lu Yinbing asked her not to come, but she was worried and started pretending to be an assistant again.
Lu Yinbing slept in the staff dormitory. Xia Yitong put her clothes in order, checked the environment, and worried about everything, making everything tidy. Lu Yinbing said she was like an old mother, but Xia Yitong ignored her and gave instructions for everything she saw.
Only at times like this would she talk a lot. When Lu Yinbing wanted to use her phone to record her conversation, Xia Yitong smiled and stopped talking.
Lu Yinbing went to stay with the patients in the afternoon, put on makeup, messed up her hair, and wore a hospital gown. Like most people, she sat in the corner with a dull expression, playing by herself, but actually observing the expressions of the people around her. Xia Yitong didn't see this, and Lu Yinbing refused to let her see it, and urged her to leave after dinner.
On December 5, Xia Yitong set out from home, preparing to take a plane to a filming base in Province Z to join the crew in the filming of "Mei Qi".
Before leaving, she couldn't find something, so she searched through the boxes and cabinets at home. After searching the bedroom, she went to the study. She rarely used this study, one because she moved in late and didn't live there for long because she was busy, and the other because Lu Yinbing often read books here, so she spontaneously chose another place. But when people can't find something, they don't care about so many things. They opened the drawers one by one, looked in the gap between the pile of documents, and reached in to touch. She touched something hard, like a box.
When I took it out and looked at it, I found that it was a black velvet box with x and l written on the surface in silver cursive letters.
Xia Yitong's heart began to beat wildly uncontrollably and she slowly opened her eyes.
The light from the polyhedron diamond cut into eight hearts and eight arrows flashed her eyes for a moment.
