Several seconds passed after Director Wang called the card, and Qi Cong slowly got out of the character's emotions. He sat up, raised his hand and pressed lightly on his chest.
"Are you OK?"
Qi Cong looked at the person who asked the question, and after two seconds, he recognized that this was the little actor playing his servant. He suppressed the emotional weakness in his heart because of his full-strength performance, put down his hands and sat upright, shook his head and said, "I'm fine. What about you? Did I hurt you when I pushed you a few times? Sorry, I didn't pay attention when I was acting."
The little actor shook his head, glanced at Qi Cong, hesitated for a moment, lowered his head and took out a neatly folded cotton checkered handkerchief, and handed it to Qi Cong: "You..."
"Brother Gong!"
Shen Jia's shouting interrupted the silence in this corner, Qi Cong was distracted and looked sideways. The little actor was startled, and hurriedly retracted his hand, and also turned his head to look in Shen Jia's direction.
After Shen Jia came over, he threw himself halfway onto the desk and said excitedly, "Brother Cong, you are amazing, really good, really, really good! You just acted really well!"
After Shen Jia, several staff members gathered with various tools, and one staff member followed suit and said, "Mr. Qi Cong really did a good job, it was so heart-wrenching to watch on the scene, and when the music was added in the later stage, the effect was not good enough. I know how amazing it will be."
Teacher Qi Cong
Qi Cong was stunned by this title, and before he could digest it, more "Teacher Qi Cong" rang out around him.
"Mr. Qi Cong, Director Wang said that you need to make up the shots, and the makeup on your face needs to be adjusted."
"Mr. Qi Cong, the water is here, and there are buckets. You can spit the water here after you rinse your mouth."
"Mr. Qi Cong..."
All the things they need are put in front of them thoughtfully, everyone's expressions are kind and smiling, and what they catch in their ears are words of concern.
Since waking up from "sleep", this is the first time that Qi Cong has been surrounded by the care of a group and strangers like this in reality.
Qi Cong passively took the water handed over by the staff and went to the bucket to rinse his mouth.
The strange taste of the blood in his mouth was diluted, and he gradually recovered. When he took the tissue to wipe his mouth, he met Shen Jia's gaze from lying on the desk, and stopped.
Shen Jia immediately raised a big smile after Qi Cong looked over, and said silently: Teacher Qi Cong, congratulations on your successful first shooting.
Shooting was successful.
Qi Cong lightly pinched his palm with his fingers and slowly laughed. The smile gradually widened, from a smile that only slightly raised the corners of the mouth, to a smile with slightly exposed teeth, and finally a bright smile with curved eyes.
It worked.
He did not fail everyone's help.
He was also one step closer to Gu Xun.
The last day of August seems to be good luck.
He put down the tissue, looked at the busy staff around him, and said sincerely, "Thank you." Then he looked at Shen Jia, his smile deepened again, "Thank you too, Jiajia."
Shen Jia opened his eyes slightly. The staff suddenly quieted down. Yuanyuan and Jiang Meng, who had just squeezed in with a makeup case and wet tissues, were also stunned.
Qi Cong was puzzled, his smile narrowed, and he looked back and forth at the people with strange expressions. Just as he was about to speak, Director Wang spoke again.
"What are you doing around there, retreat a little, don't mess up the scene! And Shen Jia, come here! Don't lie on the table and read the script, the next scene will come to you. Qi Cong, don't make up for it yet. Make up, come here, I'll tell you which shots you need to make up."
The strange atmosphere on this side of the desk was broken.
When the chief director spoke, everyone did not dare to delay any longer, and they were busy packing up their work and leaving. Shen Jia also got up honestly, walked around and waited for Qi Cong to pack up and walked towards Wang Dao with Qi Cong.
In the next ten minutes, under the guidance of Director Wang and Director Guo, Qi Cong re-shot some places that needed close-up and close-up shots. During this period, he was sensitively aware that everyone's eyes and attitude towards him had changed.
Since joining the group, because of the ups and downs on the Internet, he has always been secretly looked at and kept at a distance in the crew. Everyone didn't deliberately isolate him, but everyone invariably avoided contact with him as much as possible. When it was unavoidable, everyone spoke to him politely and alienatedly, and invisibly erected a high wall that was unwilling to communicate in depth.
Although he is in the group, he has always been outside the group.
But now the high wall is gone.
Many people sent friendly signals to him from behind the cracked wall. Everyone no longer avoided his sight, no longer deliberately avoided getting along with him, no longer felt alienated when talking to him, and were willing to take the initiative to find him and talk to him. He communicated with more people.
He seems to be really accepted by the big group at this moment.
Qi Cong suddenly wanted to talk to Gu Xun, to chat with him about today's filming, the changes brought about by this filming, and... Thank him very much.
When all the shots were finally completed, Qi Cong took out the mobile phone that Yuanyuan helped him put away from his backpack as soon as he could move freely, found a corner and sat down and opened WeChat.
Someone approached and sat down on the stool beside him.
Qi Cong's attention was all on his mobile phone. After noticing the movement, he shyly glanced aside for less than a second. He withdrew his gaze without even knowing whether the person sitting next to him was a man or a woman. The chat box at the top of the WeChat chat bar.
Gu Xun didn't send a message.
Qi Cong's fingers loosened. Just as he was about to click into the chat box to send a message to Gu Xun, a bottle of water was suddenly brought in front of him, blocking the phone screen.
He was stunned for a moment, raised his eyes, and saw the familiar palm holding the water bottle, and the red pomegranate flower gem ring on that hand.
"You've just been sweating a lot and need hydration."
A familiar male voice came from beside him, Qi Cong turned his head stupidly and looked to the side.
On the small plastic stool that is not high, Gu Xun sat on it with a pair of long legs, holding a plastic bag in one hand and water in the other hand. During the live broadcast, his hair that was neat and tidy was a little messy at this time, and there were a few strands of it. It fell to cover his forehead, the black shirt on his body was a little wrinkled, and his sleeves were rolled up. The overall shape gave people a very casual feeling, which was completely different from the formal one during the live broadcast.
"Let's make a statement first." Gu Xun and Qi Cong looked at each other for two seconds, then withdrew their gazes, and at the same time took back the water that was handed out, put down the plastic bag they were holding with their other hand, and said while twisting the bottle cap, "I am serious. Complete my work on the premiere. Today's premiere lasts two hours and fifty minutes, including red carpet walks, crew interviews, interaction with audiences, personal interviews, feature film viewing, etc. I'm talking to the crew ahead of time After greeting the guests and the media, I left early in the final feature film viewing session, boarded the plane back here at 4:25, got off the plane at 6:50, and got off at 7:40. Arrive at the other courtyard where you filmed."
Qi Cong opened her eyes wide.
Arrived at the other courtyard at 7:40? Isn't that...
"I've finished watching your performance." Gu Xun put the unscrewed water in front of Qi Cong, stretched out his other hand, hooked a strand of Qi Cong's long hair that fell in front of him, and wrapped it lightly, raising his eyes to meet Qi Cong smiled, "Congratulations to my first and last student for completing the first performance assignment with full marks. Teacher Gu is very satisfied and proud."
Qi Cong stared at Gu Xun in a daze, and after a few seconds, she suddenly returned to her senses, leaned back to take the water, and turned her head to look around.
Director Wang is greeting the staff to change the scene layout and prepare for the next scene. Shen Jia and other leading actors all lined up on Director Guo's side. Yuanyuan and the others were on standby, ready to touch up the actors' makeup and shape them later. Zhao Zhenxun is talking to the chief screenwriter Tang Mou.
Everyone is busy, and no one seems to be paying attention here.
Qi Cong retracted his gaze, looked at Gu Xun, and opened his mouth: "You..."
Gu Xun has sat up straight again. He lifted the plastic bag at his feet, took out another bottle of water and twisted it open, then looked at Qi Cong, raised the water bottle and bumped the water bottle in Qi Cong's hand lightly.
"Cheers. Good luck to us."
The water bottle in his hand was gently touched, causing the water inside to sway slightly... It was like Qi Cong's heart lake that was disturbed by Gu Xun at this time.
Qi Cong squeezed the bottle tightly, glanced at Gu Xun who raised his head to drink water, also raised the water and took a sip, and then looked at Gu Xun again.
Gu Xun took a sip of water and smiled at Qi Cong, twisted his own water and put it aside, then dragged the stool to Qi Cong's side, touched his leg with Qi Cong, and asked, "Does it hurt?"
Qi Cong shrank his legs and asked, "What?"
"Does it still hurt here in your chest?" Gu Xun raised the plastic bag at his feet and handed it over, "I bought you a medicinal wine, and I will go back and apply it at night. If you can't apply it yourself and want me to help you, I can do it too. —”
"Thank you, I'll just do it myself." Qi Cong hurriedly took the plastic bag and hugged it into his arms, almost spilling the water in his hand during the process.
Gu Xun stretched out his hand to help Qi Cong hold the water bottle, and then laughed in a low voice.
Qi Cong felt embarrassed, picked up the bottle cap and screwed it on, and said calmly, "Thank you for the medicine. Also, I'm sorry, I lied to you before that it was officially filming tomorrow, you—"
"Monggong." Gu Xun interrupted Qi Cong's words, leaning towards Qi Cong while talking, his expression was deep and urgent, his eyes contained a burning emotion, his voice was low, and his tone was bewitching, "Let me help Come on, help you walk faster and come to me faster. I have a lot of resources, and my family has some contacts in the furniture industry, either you or Miki, as long as you—"
"Gu Xun." Qi Cong grabbed Gu Xun's hand, looked at Gu Xun seriously, and called again, "Gu Xun." Then shook his head.
Gu Xun shut his mouth, and his rationality that almost disappeared due to the desire to be with his sweetheart quickly returned to the cage in time. He looked at Qi Cong's gentle but serious and firm eyes, backed away a little, moved the hand held by Qi Cong, and ticked in Qi Cong's palm: "I'm sorry, I said some stupid things."
Qi Cong was hooked for a while, so he quickly let go of Gu Xun's hand, looked around again, dragged the small bench and moved to the side, away from Gu Xun's atmosphere, his tone softened: "I'm sorry... I There's still a scene today, it's playing a corpse, you..."
"I'll wait for you." Gu Xun retracted his legs and sat down, smiling at Qi Cong, with a well-behaved and honest look, "Come on."
Qi Cong looked at Gu Xun, her mood slowly calmed down, and nodded: "I will do my best."
A few minutes later, the final scene started filming. Qi Cong went to the location designated by the director, lay down and covered with a white cloth, and acted the corpse honestly.
On the sidelines, Zhao Zhenxun, who had been patient for a long time, walked to Gu Xun's side, sat down where Qi Cong sat just now, and said with a dark face, "The star of the movie left the stage early at the premiere, you really make news."
Gu Xun looked at Qi Cong in the field, squinted when Lian Pengxing squatted down to check the wound on Qi Cong's finger that was bitten by the worm, and said, "It's just that I didn't accompany you to watch the feature film, it was live broadcast at that time. It's over, it's not news."
"It counts as news among your fan base."
"So I asked my agent to post on Weibo for me in advance to appease the fans." Lian Pengxing finally let go of Qi Cong's hand, Gu Xun's expression was no longer so scary, he looked back at Zhao Zhenxun and asked, "What happened to Yan Huang?"
"It's been investigated." Zhao Zhenxun pulled out a text message from his mobile phone and handed it to Gu Xun, "The company he built by sucking blood Qi Cong will soon be gone."
Gu Xun glanced at the text message, straightened his long legs with satisfaction, and looked at the direction where Qi Gong was lying again: "Gong Gong should be very happy to know this news."
Seeing Gu Xun like this, Zhao Zhenxun had to remind him aloud: "Dogs will bite people if they're anxious, don't be too harsh, take your time."
"If you break a dog's teeth, won't it be able to bite people?"
Zhao Zhenxun was completely speechless, got up and left.
At 9 o'clock in the evening, after Lian Pengxing ng three times in a row, the last game of "the protagonist Iron Triangle learned about You Changqing's death, hurried back to check on You Changqing's body and study, and found many clues" finally ended the filming.
Two hours later, the official blog of the crew of "The Legend of Qinggu" suddenly released a wave of behind-the-scenes photos on the set.
There are nine photos in total, including eight group photos and one single photo.
