With the successful end of the last scene, the crew began to pack things up again. Since the studio has been moved indoors today, all the tasks are not as onerous as before. Before Lin Xi finished taking off her makeup, she saw Uno was called out by a phone call.
After casually saying "I'll talk about it when I go back to the hotel tonight", Uno, who had just changed out of his dark black British overcoat, turned around and left the dressing room, closing the door behind him. The door wasn't completely closed tightly, it opened a finger-wide gap with a "squeak". Lin Xi narrowed his eyes and looked at the reflection in the mirror, only to see that tall and straight figure walking farther and farther through the thin crack of the door, and slowly disappearing from his sight.
Uno seems to be a little busy these days, answering some unknown calls every now and then. Since she questioned Zhao Xian's phone call last time, Lin Xi never asked about Uno again.
That night, he deliberately searched the Internet about the matter with Shu Shan and Tian Yu, and sure enough, as Uno said, it was just that a few media broke the news about the nasty things about Tian Yu when he and Shu Shan terminated the contract with Tian Yu. Although this incident was not a big deal at the beginning, it only caused a little disturbance, and the image of He Shushan was indeed slightly damaged. However, the more serious impact is Tianyu.
Many people began to secretly speculate about Tianyu's attitude and unspoken rules towards its artists through this incident. Some people even secretly reasoned that Yang Sichen was "injured" before. I don't know if it was a coincidence or some reason, but someone broke the news on the Internet that Yang Sichen and Pan Lun, the general manager of Tianyu, were lovers.
However, this incident was just a small stone that fell into the sea, and when it was about to set off a big wave, there was no reply. According to Lin Xi's speculation, Tianyu should have paid a huge price to suppress everything.
It's just that Tianyu's external image has not been very good in recent years. After this series of incidents, even the image of its artists has suffered some damage. Lin Xi only paid a little attention to Xu Yingying, who was asked at the launching ceremony of a certain TV series whether her Stars Award was worth something, and never inquired about these things again.
He even felt a little lucky. Since he is currently filming in a foreign country, the hands of most of the Chinese media cannot be stretched so far. If he was in China, he might be pressed by some entertainment reporters about the termination of the contract.
The high-wattage lighting in the dressing room emitted bright white light, and Lin Xi's entire face was hidden in the dim shadow because of the makeup artist's body, and his expression was unclear. He faintly felt that something was wrong recently, but he couldn't tell what happened.
"Okay, Lin. Your skin is really good, and it's very convenient to remove and clean every time." The female makeup artist with pink hair said with a smile.
Sighing lightly and putting aside all the complicated thoughts in his mind, Lin Xi looked up at the large makeup mirror. I saw that the young man in the mirror had returned to a simple and refreshing appearance. Obviously, it was just a layer of makeup that was so light that it was almost imperceptible, but it was quite different. This is a test of the makeup artist's ability, and it is obvious that all the members of Chen Yajing's team are top-notch.
He curled his lips with a faint smile, nodded to the fashionable female makeup artist, and said, "Thank you, Linda."
Looking at the young man's charming smile, Linda said without any shyness: "Lin, you are really the most beautiful actors I have ever seen. It's a pity that we only cooperated this time. It's such a pity."
"Thank you. I appreciate the compliment."
The two said a few more words, and then stopped talking. Unlike domestic film crews, where many big-name entertainers have their own exclusive dressing rooms, Raymond has always prepared only one public dressing room for all actors to use. So Lin Xi walked directly to the changing room after removing her makeup, and said hello to Edward and the others along the way.
By the time he left the dressing room, the people in the dressing room had almost left. Wang Fang stood obediently at the door of the changing room with a big black bag in his arms. When he saw Lin Xi coming out, he trotted forward immediately and said, "Boss, you finally came out."
"Well, there was a button that was a bit difficult to untie just now." The two walked out while talking.
After a busy day, it was getting late. A waning moon, as thin as a hook, hangs high in the middle of the sky. The moonlight is dim and colorless, sometimes covered by flowing clouds. There were not many stars on the pitch-black night, only the dense evening wind was blowing, which made Lin Xi feel a little bit of coolness which was rare.
Most of the people in the crew had already left, and just as Lin Xi stepped out of the threshold of the dressing room, he saw a few staff members of the logistics team who were still sitting and preparing for the next day's progress. Hearing the movement, they looked up and saw Lin Xi and Wang Fang, and they all grinned.
"Hey, fun, your blueberry tart is really delicious."
Fun is Wang Fang's English name for himself. According to the little fat man who is gradually showing signs of gaining weight again, it's really wonderful that he got this English name. It not only has the homonym of the word "Fang", but also has a humorous meaning, which is almost tailor-made for him.
Lin Xi, on the other hand, held back his smile all the time and didn't have the heart to tell the poor little fat man that this name, which was so perfect for him, also had a kind of...entertaining and joking meaning.
"Haha, Jack, of course."
Although he can't speak foreign languages very badly, Wang Fang did well in the crew. According to the full communication skills of the little fat man from head to toe, looking at the entire "Chaconne" crew, he has not conquered the staid and dull director Raymond so far.
Lin Xi was worried about Wang Fang's communication problems because Ji Chengshu left first, and specially invited Zhao Xian to teach the little fat man. Unexpectedly, without Zhao Xian's help at all, Wang Fang could still get along like a duck to water even with his stuttering Chinglish.
"Hey boss, I remember that we should go to Eisenach to film in a few days?" Wang Fangyuan's face showed an expectant look, "I really made money by following the boss. I heard from Jack that we It's such a great feeling to be able to film in some kind of castle, boss!"
As soon as he left the gate of the film crew, a gust of bleak night wind blew away the broken hair on Lin Xi's forehead. He looked at Wang Fang who was full of expectations, raised a helpless smile, nodded and said: "Well, there are a few scenes in the Wartburg Castle, and you can go around with Jack and the others. The scenery there is still very beautiful. That's right, I remember that Forest Park is right here..." Before he finished speaking, he suddenly saw two straight figures in his corner of the eye, and Lin Xi's voice was drowned out in the noisy evening wind.
He slowly turned his head to look at the two people standing in front of him, his delicate phoenix eyes widened slightly, and he did not speak.
Standing on the left is a tall man with brown hair. His facial features are profound and handsome. Although there are some fine lines at the corners of his eyes, his majestic aura is not diminished. His eyes are a rare dark blue, melancholy like the deepest lake in the blue hole, with no bottom visible, just looking at it reminds Lin Xi of the faint blue that often appears in the eyes of the most familiar person.
Standing on the right is a lady in a small dress, a white waistcoat, and a lace-trimmed hat. There is no wrinkle on the well-maintained face. It has the softness of the Jiangnan water town in China, but it has an elegant and generous temperament.
"Hey boss, what's the matter?" Wang Fang's gaze swung back and forth between Lin Xi and the two strangers, he scratched his head in confusion, he didn't understand why Lin Xi stopped suddenly and didn't say anything up.
The gentlemanly and elegant middle-aged man first nodded to Lin Xi politely, and then said with a smile: "Good evening. You are Lin, and you must know who we are."
After only a moment of daze, Lin Xi woke up. There was an elegant smile on Yili's face, Lin Xi nodded and said: "Nice to meet you, Mr. Arman." Then, he turned sideways to look at the noble lady at the side, and after thinking for a long time, he made a decision Still can't kiss the face, just bowed slightly and said: "Good evening, Mrs. Arman."
Wang Fang still stood blankly by the side and didn't realize what happened, but he obviously felt it too, and the current atmosphere didn't allow him to interject a word at all. The little fat man honestly hugged the big bag in his arms a little tighter, and looked at Lin Xi at a loss.
Seeing the young man's polite movements and greetings, the tall man nodded in satisfaction, then turned to look at his lover on the side. Mrs. Yarman naturally understood what her husband meant. She looked up at Lin Xi, and asked with a smile: "We sat in the coffee shop on the corner for a while while waiting for you to take off your makeup. It's just after eight o'clock, if you have time Shall we have a cup of coffee together?"
Without any hesitation, looking at the other party's kind and warm smile, Lin Xi nodded: "Very happy, Mrs. Arman." After speaking, he turned to look at Wang Fang and said, "Wang Fang, you go back to the hotel first. I Be back in two hours."
Although he didn't understand the meaning of Lin Xi's move, Wang Fang never made any objections to Lin Xi's decision. He just took a strange look at the two people who appeared suddenly, and said, "Good boss, then I'll go back first." As soon as he finished speaking, he clung to Lin Xi's ear mysteriously and said in a low voice : "Boss, when I go back, I will tell the Great Master and Brother Zhao, you have to pay attention to safety."
"..."
---------
This is a simple and clean small coffee shop. A metal wind chime is hung on the small wooden door, and there are crisp and pleasant jingling sounds from time to time. There are not many seats, and they are sparsely distributed in every corner of the store, separated by several tall and emerald green geraniums to ensure the privacy of every customer.
The soft and slow blues lingered throughout the cafe, and the waiter in a tuxedo delivered three cups of coffee to the corner seats in the store, and then left quickly.
Lin Xi subconsciously took four or five sugar cubes and put them into the bitter coffee. The surface of the milky white sugar cubes was soon stained with a light brown layer, floating and sinking in the fragrant liquid.
"That young man just now, is he afraid that we will abduct you?" A deep male voice suddenly sounded, it was in bad Chinese, the pronunciation was very strange, but it seemed that he had practiced for many years, at least Lin Xi could understand him clearly .
Lin Xi put the small metal spoon on the white porcelain tray, and said apologetically, "Sorry, Mr. Yarman. My assistant is always a little worried, so I laughed at you." The answer was also fluent in Chinese, deliberately slowing down Speak quickly so that the other party can hear you more clearly.
Yarman couldn't help shaking his head helplessly when he heard the words, and said, "Your partner is really cute."
Lin Xi smiled and didn't answer. No one spoke for a while, and the quiet and awkward atmosphere shrouded the small space again. Lin Xi lowered his head and was at a loss. He stirred the sugar cube in the coffee over and over again to speed up the melting.
This was not the first time he had met his lover's parents. The majestic chairman Pan called him directly to the chairman's office, and he was reprimanded straight away. Every word was spoken with deep meaning, and it seemed that he was not insulted, but even the punctuation marks revealed a hint of mockery and contempt.
But now, although he is no longer the stunned boy he was back then. But...he didn't even have the guts to be presumptuous in front of these two elders, he even had to think carefully about what he said, and in the end he still didn't know what to start with.
Probably because I care.
Because he cared, he didn't dare to face his parents, worried that a single word would arouse the other party's resentment.
Lin Xi was hesitating, feeling that heaven and man were at war in his heart, not knowing what to do. But different from the entangled mood, there was no timidity on his exquisite face, it was very frank and natural, as if he was really just communicating with two friends and drinking coffee.
Looking down at his own reflection in the coffee cup, Lin Xi breathed a sigh of relief. Judging from the simple contact just now, the Yarmans seemed to be very understanding as Chen Yajing said, and the purpose this time did not seem to have any conflicting meaning.
Lin Xiti's heart sank in mid-air. He was organizing his words and was about to speak when he suddenly heard a soft and elegant female voice: "You seduced my Nuo'er?"
"..."
"clatter". Lin Xi shook his hand, and the metal spoon collided with the wall of the white porcelain cup, making a crisp and piercing sound. He tried to make the expression on his face look more natural and peaceful. Reluctantly curling the corners of her lips, Lin Xi smiled and said, "Ma'am, you seem to have misunderstood, but it's actually Uno..."
"Well, my Nuo'er has never been close to any beautiful women since she was a child, and she never thought that she would be fascinated by sex in the end." Saying this, the lady with delicate make-up raised her hand and covered her face with a silk handkerchief. Through the indistinct translucent silk handkerchief, Lin Xi vaguely saw the other party's trembling shoulders, and seemed to say very sadly: "My poor Nuo'er, it's really about appearance, figure, family background, and family background. There are careers and careers. That is the kung fu on the bed, which is absolutely top-notch."
"..."
It seemed that he couldn't stand it anymore, and Mr. Arman, who was planning to hang up high, couldn't help but whispered: "Liz, you're a bit too much."
With a jerk, the madam, who was sobbing softly, cleared her throat. Wiping the teardrops oozing from the corners of her eyes with a white silk handkerchief, she said with a sad expression: "I don't know what method you used to make Nuoer, my proud son of the day, fall for you. But since the matter has come At this point, I can only accept my fate and suffer this loss."
"..."
The background music of the coffee shop was changed, it was no longer melodious and soft blues, but a light and bright Allegro sounded. Contrasted with Lin Xi's speechless mood, he felt the corners of his mouth twitching even more.
"I think my Nuoer is young, how many young girls are rushing to the gate of my house, and the line goes directly from Munich to Berlin." Although the tears in the corners of the eyes never stopped, but the beautiful eye makeup is a little Not stained by tears. Mrs. Arman's tone was heavy, with a sad look on her face: "But my Nuo'er has said since she was a child that if he recognizes someone, it must be a matter of his life. How infatuated and affectionate this is, whoever marries My Nuoer, that is simply the happiest person in the world!"
Lin Xi couldn't stop the corners of her mouth from twitching: "..."
"Pfft..." Mr. Yarman, who was drinking coffee at the side, suddenly heard what his lover said. He couldn't even maintain his image as a gentleman, and sprayed a mouthful of coffee on the glass table. The eyes of Lin Xi and Mrs. Arman immediately cast their eyes on him. He coughed twice in embarrassment, and while wiping the coffee residue on his lips with a tissue, he said: "Actually, Lin is also a very good child, Liz .”
With a cold snort from her nose, Mrs. Yarman put down the silk handkerchief in her hand, looked at Lin Xi and said, "You said that if you abandon my Nuoer, then my Nuoer will have to marry forever and become a nun... Cough, are you a monk? I think you must have made an agreement with my Nuoer when you were here, to stay together forever, right?" As soon as she finished speaking, Mrs. Yarman carefully looked at Lin Xi's expression.
Seeing that the handsome and beautiful young man didn't seem to have any intention of speaking, Mrs. Yarman choked up her voice again, took out a brand new silk handkerchief from her leather handbag, and sobbed: "My poor Nuoer, how beautiful you are!" My girl misses you day and night, but you choose someone who is not willing to stay with you for the rest of your life. Oh, my Nuoer, your life is really hard. Warm, not enough to eat, not even a bit of meat in the whole body, running away when the wind blows, and now even my lover refuses to give you a lifetime promise!"
"..." After being silent for a while, Lin Xi finally couldn't help sighing, and then raised his head with a dumbfounding expression: "Ma'am, I promise, I will never abandon Uno in my life. He is the only one who puts down my love first." At the moment of holding hands, there is absolutely no possibility that I will leave first."
As soon as Lin Xi finished speaking, the tears in the corners of Mrs. Yarman's eyes disappeared immediately. She quickly threw Sipa aside, and a kind and kind smile once again bloomed on that elegant face: "Lin, you are such a good boy. It is the greatest luck in his life for my family Nuoer to be with you .”
"..."
"Ahem." As if feeling a little embarrassed by the rapid change of his lover's face, Mr. Arman coughed twice as a reminder.
And Mrs. Yarman obviously didn't care about her husband's face. The beautiful hands holding the bow and pressing the string reached into her handbag, and she didn't know what she was taking out. While moving, Mrs. Yarman said, "Lin Xi, I'm really happy to know from Erica that you and Nuoer are together."
Lin Xi has long been impressed by this first-class acting Mrs. Arman, and he can't help but wonder why the other party chose the violin instead of acting. If she is engaged in acting, she must be the best actress of the Golden Ridge Award with the highest gold content, and the other party is also easy to grab.
"Madam, before I saw you today, I was also a little worried."
"I watched your film, it's very good." Mr. Arman, who was always silent, suddenly said, "The emotion in Mantes' eyes is absolutely unmistakable, I can see it too, you I like him very much." There was a serious look on his handsome face, and Mr. Arman looked at Lin Xi seriously with a solemn tone.
Lin Xi couldn't help straightening his body, and began to face up to this conversation.
"Ans, it's the eyes, not the eyeballs." Mrs. Alman reprimanded in a low voice, and immediately broke up the serious atmosphere that was so hard to create. She gave her husband a supercilious look, then grabbed Lin Xi's hand, and stuffed the things she took out with great difficulty into Lin Xi's hand: "This is a family heirloom of our Ou family. It has been handed down since the Qing Dynasty. Pass it on to your daughter-in-law but not to your daughter-in-law, so take care of it."
"..." Looking at the high-grade mutton fat jade bracelet in the palm of his hand, Lin Xi forcibly held back the feeling of running away on the spot. He smiled and raised a nice smile, and said, "Thank you, madam. I will definitely keep it properly."
"You are so sensible, child." As she spoke, Mrs. Alman touched the smooth and delicate back of Lin Xi's hand, and said, "Speaking of which, I have to thank you. Originally, Ans and I were still talking about "Chaconne" A few episodes of "I'm a bit confused, after watching the play between you and Nuoer today, I think it should be no problem. So, we plan to go back to Berlin tonight and start composing and recording properly."
Mr. Alman heard this and asked in surprise, "Liz, when did we get inspired?"
"Ans, do you stay here and want to be beaten by that bastard Uno?" Mrs. Yarman replied reflexively, suddenly realizing Lin Xi's existence, she quickly explained: "I'm worried about seeing Nuoer After that, we really couldn’t bear to leave. Lin Xi, you know, my cruel Nuoer, who doesn’t go home every time I’m in Berlin, really makes me miss him so much.”
"..."
"To see you this time, our business is really not in vain." After a pause, Mrs. Arman added: "Lin Xi, if Nuoer dares to bully you in the future, you must tell me, and I will teach you a lesson his."
"..."
The corners of Lin Xi's mouth had already twitched and become numb. Hearing Mrs. Arman's swearing assurance, he sighed softly, and thought helplessly in his heart:
Ma'am, I really think that you don't have this way at all, so teach me a lesson...
Your No. er.
