Even though half a world away, Lin Xi on the other side of the ocean has adapted well to the filming life in the United States, not at all like someone who went abroad for the first time.
Ji Chengshu arrived in the United States just a week after starting the machine. He had already confirmed the X-Storm contract by e-mail before. But now, less than a month after starting the machine, after confirming that Lin Xi's affairs are all right, Ji Chengshu flew back to Tian X Dynasty to deal with another artist's affairs.
It was the first time to film at Hollywood House, and Lin Xi was actually quite curious at first. Different from the film shooting methods of the Chinese Dynasty, Steven, as a well-known director of commercial films in the United States, Lin Xizhen has never seen a director who burns as much money as him.
Although Lin Xi's scenes are not many, there are still a few scenes of urban racing and gun battles. Every frame can be said to be a burning expense. At first, Lin Xi thought that Steven would only let himself shoot some close-up scenes, while the long-range scenes would still use the original shots taken by Geer. However, to his surprise, on the first day of starting the machine, Steven touched his round belly and waved his big hand boldly: "Retake all!"
"..."
It's really... rich and self-willed.
This also hurt Lin Xi.
At the beginning, Ji Chengshu also thought that it would only take a week or two to complete the supplementary filming of supporting roles, but because of Steven's bold words, Lin Xi spent nearly a month of supplementary filming before finishing most of the scenes. Counting the days, it is estimated that when I return to China, it will be just in time for the promotion period of "Yin Ge Jue 2".
At the same time, on the other side of the ocean, "Dark War" has already begun to make up files in major theaters across the country.
Fans said one after another: How can it be enough after only playing for a few weeks! Must watch another month! ! !
Therefore, during the agreed golden winter vacation, "Dark War" snatched the most proportion of theaters from major New Year's films and foreign blockbusters. Breaking through 100 million on the first day, and breaking 200 million in three days, "Dark War" has a vague tendency to become this year's box office champion.
However, Wu Zhen did not plan to put all his eggs in the same basket.
Just when the movie fans were crazy about "Dark War", director Wu was uncharacteristically, just two months after the filming, he put the film of "Ying Ge Jue 2" into major theaters and broadcast it to the outside world. There is no need to deliberately choose a good time, just play a clip before "Dark War" is played, is this a reasonable use of resources
Therefore, countless fans who came to the theater for the second, third, or even Nth time to review "Dark War" saw a sharp and cold sword light on the large movie screen before their butts were hot. Sweep over. Immediately afterwards, the three words "Yin Ge Jue" appeared in the center of the screen in a black atmosphere.
"!"
Without giving the stunned fans any time to react, the familiar melodious music came from the theater's high-end wall speakers immediately. The melody of the flute is harmonious, and the music is moving, just like a long and gentle breeze, slowly blowing through the hearts of every audience.
This is the theme song of "Yin Ge Jue"!
Five years ago, together with the movie "Yin Ge Jue", it swept the entire land of China. Even on the streets of the United States, where foreigners gather, you can occasionally hear the sound of the piano and flute that contains the connotation of Chinese ancient style.
The audience came back to their senses. I don't know who exclaimed first, "This is the trailer of "Yin Ge Jue 2"?!", the entire first-class hall of the cinema suddenly fell silent, and everyone's eyes widened, watching the rapidly changing pictures on the screen attentively stand up.
The white clothes are chic and heroic. The red sleeves are dancing, charming and stunning.
The flickering silver sword light and the bloodthirsty red whip shadow made all the audience hold their breath. The editing of the whole film is very fast, and a shot takes no more than 3 seconds. With the ups and downs of the music, it makes people feel concentrated and the heart tightens.
At the end of just a few minutes, there is a silver-white sword light flying towards the outside, so real that it seems to be able to pass through the thin screen, making people feel the cold air emanating from the blade.
A few minutes after the entire credits were over, and even the opening credits of "Dark War" ended, the audience who had been stunned in place slowly came back to their senses. They stared blankly at the world full of guns and bullets on the big screen, and suddenly exclaimed at the same time——
""Ying Ge Jue 2" will be released nationwide on March 29?!!!"
That's right!
There is only one month left, the majority of movie fans read it right, it is one month!
This news spread like bamboo shoots after a spring rain in Huaxia Kyushu, and its momentum was even more ferocious than the "Dark War" in the previous few months!
There is no need to pay attention to actors and plots, just the three words "leading songs" are the most resounding signboard. On the Internet, in theaters, and even on the street, one can occasionally hear people talking about the news of "Ying Ge Jue 2".
Five years ago, "Yin Ge Jue" successfully made the king of heaven Qi Wenyuan and the queen of heaven Ye Yiyi popular, but now, can it send Lin Xi, the dark horse of this year, to the altar? This has become what the media and fans are most concerned about.
In fact, since the release of "Dark War", the evaluation of Lin Xi by major public opinion media has gradually changed from the idol group to the powerful group. You should know that the organizing committee of Tian X Chao Star Awards has accepted the application of the crew of "Dark War", and among them, Lin Xi, who played the role of Mo Wei in the film, was also nominated for Best Supporting Actor.
Therefore, when the beautiful trailer of "Yin Ge Jue 2" came out, there were even more positive reports about Lin Xi everywhere. The official website is gradually growing, Weibo fans exceed 8 million, everything seems to indicate that—
A bright and bright star is rising.
Just when all the fans and movie fans were eagerly waiting for the release of "Yin Ge Jue 2", a report with a sharp tone and sharp words and two mosaic photos suddenly appeared in the B city entertainment tabloid "Daily Entertainment Star". "superior.
On the front page, which is usually full of recent gossip news, today, uncharacteristically, only two large photos and an eloquent report of nearly 5,000 words were placed. On the top of the picture, a striking title is marked in bold black letters on the 1st—
"A male star surnamed L has a private meeting with a strange man in a hotel late at night, and his clothes are disheveled! "
On the first photo that took up almost half of the page, it was a tall man wearing only a white bathrobe. The bathrobe was very loose, revealing her fair and straight calves and most of her snow-white shoulders, and there seemed to be a little bit of water on the fragile collarbone. With his back to the camera is a tall man in a black windbreaker. Unfortunately, only half of his ears can be seen.
But... even if the other party's eyes are covered with mosaics, readers can still clearly recognize that this man with a slight smile is definitely Lin Xi!
Looking at the second photo on the side, the hearts of all the celestial beings suddenly fell into the ice cellar, and they were so cold...
them…
Kissing!
One raised his head, the other lowered his head, leaning against each other in an ambiguous posture, as if they were embracing each other. Even through the cold text and pictures, people can still feel that the two seamless bodies seem to be exuding fiery power.
Are you so anxious that you don't even close the door! ! !
No need to read the report in Song style on the 5th, just look at these two ambiguous photos, and everyone will understand——
What the hell is going on here!
On this day, the storm was raging, and all the celebrities related to Lin Xi were dragged into the water.
---------------
At this time, across the world's widest ocean, Lin Xi was silently unaware of what was happening on the other side of the earth.
It was late at night in the United States at this time.
Under the crimson city lights, a three-story building is still brightly lit.
The staff of the film crew were running around, packing things quickly. They put the clutter that needs to be packed and the items that are ready for the next day in the place where they should be placed, as fast as they have ever been. In just five minutes, the entire crew gathered at the door of the large shooting room, and then walked downstairs together.
"Haha, I didn't expect today to be Jia Kebu's birthday. It's a rare opportunity for everyone to get together." Steven walked in front of the crowd, turned to look at Lin Xi, and asked, "Lin Xi seems You haven’t been to a bar in the United States, this is not good! Tonight, let you feel the enthusiasm of our American people!”
A strong black man on the side also smiled and nodded: "Yes. Lin, you will definitely like 'Nightlight'."
Lin Xi smiled lightly and shook his head, and said, "No, Jia Kebu. I'm not very used to the noisy environment, but I still want to wish you a happy birthday."
Jia Kebu immediately shook his head: "You are wrong, Lin. The environment of 'Night' is very good, and it happens to be very close to the set. It would be a pity if you didn't go."
The blond and fat man walking ahead immediately turned his head when he heard Lin Xi's words, his small green eyes opened wide, and he said in a serious tone: "Lin, the whole crew is going, how can you be absent? The scene will be finished in a few days, let us create a good memory!"
Lin Xi raised his eyebrows slightly: "Did I say I won't go?"
Steven was at a loss for words, and after a long time, he pouted and said, "You Chinese people like to bully our honest Americans. Whether it's Lin or Mantes, you are really bad!"
Lin Xi couldn't help laughing out loud when he heard this. He didn't deny Steven's words, but he also mourned for a few seconds in his heart for Uno, who could be shot while lying down even if he wasn't there.
Taking advantage of the thick night, the group did not disguise their identities, just walking on the streets of the city openly. Fortunately, the "Night Color" bar is very close to the studio, only one street away, and from a distance, Lin Xi saw the huge "Night Color" signboard hanging high on the outer wall of the high-rise building.
With a very charming pink, the cursive words "A night love" are enchantingly outlined. It was obviously a very obvious grammatical error, but no one questioned it at all, as if it should have been expressed in this way.
"A night love?" Lin Xi murmured a few words in his heart, and suddenly a strange Chinese translation appeared in his mind. He was only stunned for a moment, then he came back to his senses. Smiling helplessly, Lin Xi quickly put this weird name behind her.
Not noticing Lin Xi's abnormality, Steven waved his hand, and a group of middle-aged and strong men like wolves and tigers rushed into the half-meter-wide small door of "Night". It doesn't look like they're here for a drink, but rather... they're here to smash the scene.
Unable to restrain himself from sighing softly, Lin Xi covered most of his face with his right hand, and walked a few steps aside calmly, keeping a distance from the group of burly men. When he entered the bar, he even found the most remote place and sat down at the corner of the bar counter, obviously he didn't want to be with the group of reckless men sitting in the middle of the bar, holding high-end bartenders as water.
Holding a glass of pomegranate red "Yankee" in his hand, Lin Xi shook the glass casually while looking at this quiet and elegant bar—well, except for the crowd in the central area who have already started to go crazy with alcohol, the whole bar environment is still very peaceful of.
Different from its seductive name, you will find that this is a completely clean bar once you enter the night.
The hippie black tuner stood at the height of the bar, scanning the audience, and played the soft and soothing blues. The decoration of the entire bar is based on the pirate style of the medieval Mediterranean. In the center of the bar hangs a huge round tan steering wheel, which is covered with white marks of different shades, which seems to be caused by cutting with knives and axes. .
Looking at the entire bar from Lin Xi's position, because the light was rather dim, I could only see that almost everyone was walking around today's birthday star Jia Ke. I don't know who said what, and there was a loud cheer from the crowd.
Seeing this, Lin Xi slightly hooked the corners of his lips, picked up the low-strength cocktail with a smile, and took a sip.
It's not that he didn't join this group of crazy men, but... he really doesn't have the capacity to drink with these old fritters.
If Rang He Shu Shan, Rang Ye Yiyi, and even everyone who knew Qi Wenyuan in the past knew that the former wine sage is now "down and down" to such a point, then I'm afraid they would laugh so hard that their stomachs hurt.
Since being drunk by Ye Yiyi last time at the Lingyun Building next to the Film and Television City in City B, Lin Xi has deliberately tested how much he can drink at home. It's a pity... It's just three or two Erguotou, and when Lin Xi opened his eyes again, he saw the sun of the next day.
It's not that I haven't practiced alcohol secretly behind others, but... none of them didn't die without a problem!
This body is basically an alcohol insulator! Can drink, but pour a few cups!
A wry smile appeared on Lin Xi's lips, and his handsome brows and eyes also relaxed.
At this time... it seems that he can only comfort himself in this way: it is better than a glass of wine dregs and Shu Shan, isn't it!
"Hey Lin, why don't you go to the dance floor with us?" A clear and hearty male voice suddenly sounded from behind Lin Xi. Everyone, go to the bar.
A tall and strong black man sat down on the seat beside Lin Xi, grinning, revealing a mouthful of white teeth. Under the light of the bar counter, the teeth glowed white, which contrasted with the dark skin, making it even more dazzling.
"I don't drink well, so I can't drink with you." Lin Xi smiled lightly and answered honestly.
Jia Kebu was taken aback when he heard this, and asked strangely: "Lin, you don't hold a lot of alcohol? I thought you people from the Tian Dynasty can hold a lot of alcohol." After a pause, he continued: "Mantes He is very good at drinking. I will tell you secretly, when we finished filming before, all of us were drunk by him alone! Even the alcoholic director Steven was so drunk that he hugged a pole and danced pole dance on the street! Ha ha."
Suddenly learning that Uno's drinking capacity is very good, Lin Xi was taken aback for a moment. Before he had time to speak, a loud and dull male voice suddenly sounded behind him.
"Hmph, Jacopo, are you speaking ill of me?"
Came to the bar but didn't have any interest in trying cocktails, so Steven directly held a large bottle of high-strength whiskey. He snorted at Jia Kebu, then turned his head to look at Lin Xi, and said, "Lin, is your drink so bad?" He pointed at the "Yankee" in Lin Xi's hand, and teased : "Is this kind of woman's drink particularly sweet?"
Lin Xi couldn't help raising her eyebrows when she heard this, and she wasn't angry because of Steven. He just looked Steven up and down, and smiled casually: "I don't know if it's sweet or not, but I really don't know how to dance pole dancing."
"..." Steven's face turned red immediately, and he shouted angrily, "Lin! You heavenly people are so bad, so bad!"
Lin Xi covered her lips, and calmly sipped the transparent red cocktail.
Slowly, on the other side of the dance floor, the shaking crowd gradually dispersed because the music stopped. Several people came to the bar. One of them patted the bar and said, "I'm a little dizzy, Mike, have a glass of water."
The middle-aged man named Mike nodded with a smile, and after a few movements, he handed a glass of transparent water to the sweating man. Lin Xi slowly drank the last sip of "Yankee". He just pushed the diamond-shaped glass a few centimeters forward with his fingers and said "have another glass". Before he could finish speaking, he was caught by Steven Suddenly interrupted.
"Lin, since you have a poor capacity for drinking, stop drinking." As he spoke, Steven patted the wooden tabletop of the bar and shouted, "Hey Mike, have a glass of cold water."
At this time, the melodious blues sounded again in the whole bar, and Jia Kebu had already left the bar, slowly shaking his body on the dance floor with everyone. At the long wooden bar, only Steven and Lin Xi, who were shaking the half bottle of whiskey, sat aside and did not join the dancing crowd.
Mike was obviously taken aback when he heard what Steven said, he nodded quickly, then poured a glass of white water and put it on the bar counter.
Passing the wine glass containing the transparent liquid to Lin Xi, Steven grinned with a malicious smile and said, "Lin, drink some water to sober up."
Lin Xi scanned Steven up and down with probing eyes, but the latter seemed to spread his hands openly, with a frank look.
"You don't even dare to drink water, do you, Lin? Sure enough, except for that half-breed freak of Mantes, you people from the Heavenly Dynasty are all so timid."
After looking at each other seriously for a long time, Lin Xi no longer hesitated after hearing this obviously provocative words.
It's just a glass of wine, and it won't make him drunk.
Lin Xi calmly picked up the wine glass from the bar, carefully put it in front of his nose and sniffed it gently—
No taste at all.
I felt a little surprised in my heart, but Lin Xi's vigilance did not let go. He slowly took a sip of the clear liquid. Only the tip of the tongue was wet, but it still had a dull and ordinary taste, as if it was really just ordinary pure water.
Lin Xi frowned, still feeling a little confused. He didn't think Steven would really order a glass of water for himself. Lifting the wine glass suspiciously, Lin Xi was just about to take a sip, when he suddenly felt a force pouring into the bottom of the glass.
Next second!
The cold, flat liquid slid down his esophagus all the way to his stomach. It was obviously a bland liquid like white water in the mouth, but when it touched the esophagus, it instantly turned into a fiery irritation.
Lin Xi suddenly opened his eyes wide, and suddenly realized in his mind... This is simply a glass of strange spirits!
Lin Xi's consciousness gradually became blurred, and the last thing that echoed in his ears was Steven's undisguised laugh: "Hahahaha, 'cold water' is not bad! Lin!"
"..."
