Lin Xi came out of the dressing room, put on a wig, put on a costume, and put on a simple makeup that was much lighter than the makeup photo the day before yesterday. Because it is no longer a hard photo that does not require much stereoscopic effect, Amei just casually applied some base makeup on his face and deepened the color of his eyebrows.

Lin Xi took a few steps and stopped. He bent down and tied the long hem of the crimson costume around his waist for easy movement. Before he could raise his head, a black shadow landed on the bluestone floor in front of him. superior.

"Hey, isn't this Lin Xi? I can't get along in Tianyu, so I can only go to CX Entertainment and beg for mercy?"

Lin Xi raised his head slowly, only to see Xia Cheng was blocking his way forward, and he spoke in a strange way. He wore a light white dress with a round neck and narrow sleeves, the sleeves and the edges of the belt were embroidered with intricate patterns with silver thread, his long hair was tied with a cloud-white opal crown, his sword-shaped eyebrows fell into his temples, and his starry eyes were shining brightly. A dignified look.

Brushing away the dust stuck to the long sleeves due to the movement of lowering his body, Lin Xi glanced at Xia Cheng with his indifferent eyes, and asked, "Is there something wrong?"

Xia Cheng didn't expect that the other party would ignore his words. He was stunned for a while, then sneered and said, "I haven't seen you for a while, it's become a big name. Whose thigh did you enter the film crew this time?"

Xia Cheng's voice was not low, many nearby staff members heard their conversation, even Chen Yajing happened to pass by, she couldn't help but look cold when she heard the words, just about to interject a few words, only to see Lin Xi hugging each other Looking at the light amber phoenix eyes, he said: "Senior, I have to get familiar with the script again, if there is nothing else, please make way for me?"

The ridicule and sarcasm didn't work, Xia Cheng was stuck in his throat, so he had to give way in a desperate manner. When Lin Xi walked by his side, he could hear Xia Cheng's not-so-quiet cold snort: "There is only a face but no acting skills, just relying on hugging people's thighs to take the show, hum."

Lin Xi pursed his lips and smiled, assuming it was just the wind blowing in his ears, he was just a little lucky at this time—fortunately, he let little fat man Wang Fang go to run errands, otherwise these two people would probably be quarreling at this time.

Thinking of that scene in his mind, he couldn't help laughing amusedly. When he walked to the chair and was about to sit down, before he picked up the script that was full of drawings, he suddenly heard Li He shouting in a raised voice: "Lin Xi, you are ready to take the first scene, see Prince Luo Qing's That scene."

Lin Xi couldn't help being taken aback when he heard this, and it took him a while to understand, he nodded slightly, and responded, "Okay, Director Li."

There has always been an unwritten rule in the industry - when the filming starts and the auspicious time is selected, the filming starts with a good start.

Basically, the first scene after each crew starts up either chooses a relatively simple scene, or chooses the one with the most confident actors. Each of them hopes that it will not be NGed and passed at one time, so as to get a good omen.

The scene Li He chose was Qiu Huan's first encounter with the prince Luo Qing in the Prince's Mansion, which was also the scene Lin Xi had chosen in his previous audition. Although there are both Prince Luo Qing and Qiu Huan in this scene, a discerning person can see at a glance that the prominent character in this scene is Qiu Huan, and Lin Xi is the only one who really tests his acting skills.

Lin Xi thought back to the look in Director Li's eyes when Xia Cheng was talking to him just now, and suddenly understood.

Tsk, Director Li... really cute.

The arc of Lin Xi's mouth gradually widened, and his eyes moved up to Xia Cheng not far away.

Although the other party is just a brat who likes to talk, but...he doesn't mind at all, talk to the brat about life, and save the pitiful and barren worldview of the brat.

The sun is setting, and the lanterns are beginning to come on.

At this time, Qiu Huan had just rushed back to the capital from Jiangnan.

The whole family was imprisoned and executed at noon, and he ran away eight horses and failed to catch up with his parents and relatives for the last time. Resisting his grief, he disguised himself and sneaked into the Prince's Mansion with the help of his friends from Kyoto, hoping to ask the Prince Luo Qing to report to the Holy Majesty, and to cleanse the innocence of the Qiu family!

Qiu Huan, wearing a black mask, carefully entered the Prince's Mansion under the leadership of the staff of the Prince's Mansion. He ignored the magnificent carved beams and painted buildings, and hurried on his feet. A pair of dull eyes were exposed, but they were like a pool of stagnant water without a single drop.

The crown prince Luo Qing sat high on a gold-encrusted throne, wearing a light white silver silk python robe, which looked arrogant and luxurious.

Just as Qiu Huan raised his left foot and was about to step into the main hall of gold bricks, he stopped for a moment for some reason, and then walked forward quickly without any hesitation, and walked to the center of the hall. He tore off the black mask covering his face, revealing a delicate and beautiful face.

He took out an exquisite crimson jade fractured fan from the gold silk long sleeve, and with his knuckles pressed hard, the fan surface swung open, revealing a graceful figure of a dancing beauty on it.

This priceless jade bone fan is a relic of the former court. It was acquired by Qiu Huan with a lot of money a year ago, and it can be used as the most powerful symbol of the identity of the Qiu family's son.

Prince Luo Qing suddenly realized the identity of the person in front of him when he saw the rumored and extraordinary jade fracture fan. Those light-colored, penetrating eyes were staring at him quietly, with slightly long brows and fluttering eyelashes, and there was a dead stillness in the jade-like eyes, desolate and lonely, as if there was no more life.

As deep as the sea, as clear as jade.

Luo Qing felt a click in his heart, and his body froze.

Although Qiu Huan had no expression on his face, there was a strong and frozen sense of grief in his gestures. He held the fan with his left hand above and his right hand below, with his waist bent, his proud head hanging down to the ground, but his back was straight and unyielding like a green pine.

The long black hair slid down from the side of his face following his movements, covering the face that was as calm as stagnant water, only to hear a low and melodious voice resounding in the hall: "Qiu Huan pays homage to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."

"Card! Very good, pass this one."

As Li He's affirmative words sounded, the entire crew cheered, happy that they had successfully won a good start.

Li He looked at the scene repeatedly, frowning more and more. He called Xia Cheng, pointed to a few paragraphs behind the scene, and said, "Xia Cheng, why do you look dumb here? Are you looking stupid or Are you confused? Have you lost your mind at home? You have no expression. Fortunately, your role in this scene is not important. Do you know that you are the leading actor? Hey, have you read the script yet?"

Li He reprimanded his head and face, but the person being scolded kept nodding in a daze, and it took a while to fully recover. Xia Cheng stared wide-eyed at Lin Xi who was already resting on the rattan chair, his eyes were full of surprise.

Those deep and elegant eyes flashed repeatedly in his mind, and the sadness in them was so thick that it was about to overflow, as if a big hand grabbed his heart fiercely, making him even stop breathing and forget.

What a scary look.

… what beautiful eyes.

For the next few hours, as long as he wasn't filming, Xia Cheng would stare at Lin Xi with a strange expression, his eyes were weird, and his expression...complicated.

Wang Fang handed Lin Xi the heavy and large thermos cup. The cup contained refreshing tea made with Luo Han Guo, Pang Dahai and Hangbai Chrysanthemum. Lin Xi specially ordered Wang Fang to go to the pharmacy to buy it.

"Hey boss, have you noticed that Xia Cheng seems to have been staring at you for a long time?"

Hearing this, Lin Xi glanced at Xia Cheng who was opening a cup to drink tea from the corner of his eye. As soon as the latter noticed Lin Xi's gaze, he suddenly sprayed the tea in his mouth back into the cup, his face flushed from choking.

"Huh? What's the matter?"

Wang Fang rubbed his chin, his small eyes wandered around and he didn't know what he was thinking about. Lin Xi put down his cup, got up and went to filming again. After returning half an hour later, I found that the little fat man was still rolling his small eyeballs, and he didn't know what he was thinking.

Lin Xi sat down without paying attention, took the script and found that he had only one scene left today and it was over.

Just as he was thinking, he suddenly heard Wang Fang exclaim, clapped his hands together, and said, "Boss, I got it! That Xia Cheng must want to wear small shoes for you!"

"..." It's really hard work on your IQ. After thinking about it for half an hour, you guessed it all.

At this time, Xia Cheng, who was reciting lines impassionedly under the bright lights, trembled for some reason, and the lines that were originally smooth and opened his mouth were suddenly broken.

"Ca! Xia Cheng, what's going on with you today? I don't ask you to memorize every line, can you at least open your mouth according to the mouth shape? Did you leave your mouth at home today?"

"..."

For more than half a month, Xia Cheng stared at Lin Xi from a distance with this "resentful and awkward" look from time to time. And the latter seems to be completely unaware, filming when filming should be filming, drinking water when it is time to drink, never NG once a day, as strict as Li He these days, looking at Lin Xi's face feels refreshing.

"Tsk tsk, why don't you think Xiao Lin is a girl? If I were a girl, I would still play the part of worrying about Nuwa."

Cheng Hanfei, who was sitting not far away, really wanted to cry when he heard this, so he could only silently swallow the bitterness into his stomach.

In fact, Cheng Hanfei's acting skills are not bad. With such a beautiful face and her pretty good acting skills, it is only a matter of time and opportunity to become a first-line actor. But when she was still "thriving", she met Li He, a weird old man who was picky to the point of hair.

There are too many expressions, card!

The eyes are not cold enough, Ka!

Where do you put your hands? Card!

Card! Card! Card!

It can be said that, except for Lin Xi who only NGed once in the entire crew, whoever was not scolded by Director Li almost couldn't recognize the south, east, north, and west. These days, the entire cast and crew are literally living in hell, in dire straits and beyond.

"Hey, Sister Amei, come and have some snacks, just baked."

"Brother Qi, try this crispy rice... Haha, let me just say it's delicious. This is a new variety I just researched last night."

In every corner of the set, Wang Fang was carrying a plastic bag, inside which were a lot of small plastic crisper boxes, some filled with good-looking onigiri sushi, and some filled with weird-shaped cookies. The only thing they have in common is that they are all delicious.

"Boss, your refreshing tea."

Lin Xi silently took the thermos that Wang Fang took out from the bottom of the plastic bag, and remained silent. Wang Fang wiped the sweat from his head, and sat down on the small stool next to Lin Xi.

Against the sunlight, Lin Xi squinted his eyes and found that the little fat man's chin seemed to be missing a layer. The sun shines through the white fat, and it suddenly feels less greasy than before.

"Wang Fang, have you lost weight?"

Wang Fang was startled when he heard the words, and stared at Lin Xi with wide eyes. Seeing that the little fat man's eyeballs are much bigger than before, the fat on the eyes will no longer squeeze the eyes. Lin Xi understood... the little fat man really lost a little weight.

"Hey boss, how did you find out?" Wang Fang said with a smile: "I make these gadgets every day and bring them to the crew to share with everyone. The more I make them, the more I don't want to eat them. When I see everyone eating It’s the same, you don’t need to eat anything to be full.”

"..."

Lin Xi suddenly remembered a joke he and Shu Shan had told him before.

A certain female college student is very loyal, and every time she buys something, she will give it to her roommates and classmates to eat. Four years later, when everyone graduated, only this female college student found a boyfriend...

Watching the little fat man fold the plastic bag and put it in his backpack, Lin Xi asked, "By the way, when did you like to make something for others to eat?"

Wang Fang chuckled: "Didn't you ask me to make Qingrun tea for you before, boss? One day I was grinding Luo Han Guo, and I found it very fun while grinding it. Later, I bought something to make it myself. I will be addicted to it if I do it. Alright." After a pause, the little fat man looked around seriously, then leaned into Lin Xi's ear, and said mysteriously, "Boss, I'll tell you a secret."

Lin Xi was taken aback, and all kinds of TV drama scenes flashed through his mind quickly, such as crotons and bitter herbs, a basketful of them flashed in his mind.

"Actually..." Lin Xi also straightened up and listened carefully.

"Actually, I may have entered the wrong profession, Boss, if I had chosen to be a chef in the first place, maybe I would be a five-star chef now!"

"..."

Gradually the setting sun is slowly moving towards the ground level. There is a beautiful purple cloud on the edge of the sky, and it is colorful when it goes upwards. The clouds are steaming and colorful.

A spacious and elegant black Mercedes-Benz SUV drove past City B Film and Television City at a constant speed. The handsome man in the back seat lowered his eyes and watched the scenery outside the window expressionlessly changing from high-rise buildings to green walls and cornices.

Sitting in the front passenger seat was an elite-looking man, with the sleeves of his white shirt rolled up, looking quite capable.

He clicked on the tablet computer in his hand to inquire about today's announcement. He raised his head inadvertently once, and suddenly saw the big golden characters of "B City Film and Television City" flashing by the side of the road. He suddenly remembered something, turned his head and said to the man behind the driver's seat: "Arnuo, I suddenly Remembering that Erica is in City B, do you want to go and see her?"

Hearing this, the man turned his head slowly, his resolute and handsome brows were slightly frowned, his deep and dark eyes narrowed, and he asked, "Erica? When did she return to China?"

The elite man in a white shirt smiled happily and said, "Didn't she tell you?"

The man glanced at the co-pilot man coldly with displeasure, and the man immediately stopped the schadenfreude smile on his face.

"What is she doing back home?"

The co-pilot man spread his hands helplessly and said, "How do I know, why don't you ask her yourself? If you turn around now, you will see her in about three minutes."

The man pursed his thin lips, calmly picked up the black sunglasses that were set aside and placed them gently on the bridge of his tall nose, and did not speak for a long time. Just when the man in the front seat turned his head consciously and bored, he suddenly heard a sound so slight that it was almost inaudible from the back seat.

"Turn around."

With a snigger in his heart, the elite man immediately told the driver: "Turn around and go to City B Film and Television City."
