Crossover Actors - Chapter 103
[Chapter 103]
The start-up banquet was almost over, Qu Yanting received a call from Ruan Feng, put on headphones and guarded the fruit plate while chatting and eating. Qu Yanting picked up the sun protection jacket on the chair next to him, beckoned to Sun Xiaojian
at the next table, and said, “Stop stalking all day, where have your artists gone?”
No one listened and said, “Shouldn’t you be fooling around?”
Qu Yanting suspected that Aijian Media was not very reliable from top to bottom, so he got up and walked out: “Okay, say hello to the program crew, I’ll go. Find him.” The
banquet hall was in disarray, and the outside was a bit chaotic. Qu Yanting walked along the corridor to a quieter place. Just as he was about to press the shortcut key, Lu Wen called over in a second.
“Hello?” Qu Yanting answered immediately, “Where are you?” The
phone was very noisy, it sounded like there was more than one person, Lu Wen muttered a few nonsense words, presumably drunk, and then gave a room number .
Qu Yanting took the elevator to the suite and sighed on the way. He couldn’t imagine how much trouble Lu Zhanqing had to pull Lu Wen. Finding the room, the door opened early with a gap.
Qu Yanting opened the door and smelled the strong smell of wine. He walked into the living room. Several empty red wine bottles were rolled on the carpet.
Lu Wen, Su Wang, Gu Zhuoyan, and Lian Yiming, the four of them huddled side by side, filling the sofa to the fullest. It is the first time that the brothers have gathered together since the turmoil of the press conference.
Seemingly drunk, at least slightly drunk, Lu Wen sat in the middle holding the cake and said with a big tongue, “Mr. Qu is here… It’s time to eat the cake…” On the
cake was written “Best at the Box Office” with chocolate sauce. , Qu Yanting can’t laugh or cry, it’s too early, obviously it hasn’t turned on yet.
The other three raised their heads, and Lian Yiming said, “Brother Qu, if you don’t come, this grandson will not eat.”
Gu Zhuoyan nodded: “I’m touched.”
Su Wang blushed: “Godfather is also moved.”
Lu Wen dragged the cake and held it up, Qu Yanting was afraid that he would fall, so he approached to pick it up. The others squeezed out a narrow position and dragged Qu Yanting to sit next to Lu Wen.
The smell of alcohol filled the surroundings, and Qu Yanting held his breath and cut the cake, giving each person a piece.
Before he spoke, Lu Wen said, “Brothers, I’m about to go on a long journey, and I’ll see you when I triumph!”
It was like an expedition, and Qu Yanting was eating by himself, as if he was bringing three younger brothers. At this moment, Su Wang, who was beside him, grabbed him, changed his aggressive style, and said sincerely, “Brother Ting.”
“Huh?” Qu Yanting responded.
Su Wang said: “Wen’er is up to you to win the Oscar.”
Lu Wen waved Su Wang’s hand: “I haven’t even won the three good students, so you want me to win the Oscar?”
Gu Zhuoyan said understandingly: “It doesn’t matter if you can’t get it, sing him the theme song, and he’s still stubborn.”
Qu Yanting smiled: “Okay.”
“Really?” Lu Wen said happily, “Then I won’t get the Grammys. Right?”
Lian Yiming asked, “All in all, you must keep a close eye on him, don’t make any more fuss, and don’t come to Sophie.”
Qu Yanting responded one by one, sandwiched between four drunkards to eat After finishing the cake, I got up and went to the bathroom, twisted a few wet towels, wrapped the ice cubes from the ice bucket and covered everyone’s faces.
The four of them woke up with shivering cold and hugged each other to keep warm. Qu Yanting’s cell phone rang. The driver told him to wait in the hotel garden. He helped Lu Wen up to go home.
Staggering out, Lu Wen turned back and shouted, “Brothers… I’m leaving!”
The three stood up in a dizzy manner and sent their farewells with emotion. Qu Yanting watched this reluctant atmosphere, Suddenly I thought it was the first college student from a backward mountain village.
Fortunately, the media was not allowed to participate in the opening banquet, otherwise it would be another news to photograph Lu Wen’s drunken state. After so many things, Lu Wen’s reputation is somewhat polarized. He likes him for being genuine and free and easy, while disgusting scolds him for causing trouble.
Interestingly, whenever a public figure gets into trouble, the person who hates it runs faster than anyone else.
The day after tomorrow was about to leave. Lu Wen and Qu Yanting returned to Nanwan. After sobering up in the evening, they had a reunion dinner before leaving, and walked with Lu Zhanqing in the garden.
For four or five years as a singer, and for the past two years as an actor, Lu Wen and Lu Zhanqing broke up every time he left home, always ending with the harsh words of “do some achievements for you to see”.
Tonight is the first time to change the lines, he said with a smile – Dad, don’t miss me too much.
The night covered Lu Zhanqing’s dread. He stopped, took Lu Wen and Qu Yanting’s shoulders with both hands, and pressed: “Go, remember to take care of each other.”
Packing up the next day, it was obvious that the summer clothes were thin, but Lu Wen was stunned. I bought four boxes and more than 100 bottles of sunscreen spray online.
Qu Yanting hugged the cat and said, “Are you a purchasing agent?”
Lu Wen said sincerely, “I’m not white at first, but I can’t get tanned. Meng Chuntai should look pretty clean. To be honest, I wanted to go there last month. Whitening needles.”
Qu Yanting warned him: “Don’t make those messes.”
“Oh.” Lu Wen muttered, “Then I’ll put on a mask.” The
crew packed a passenger plane and flew to Guangzhou on the first day of August. Baiyun Airport, and then to Chikan Ancient Town, it took two days to settle down.
The actors received the first week’s shooting notice, and the intensity was much smaller than expected, but film actors like Yu Xiaoqing and Tu Ying knew that it was not “only one scene a day”, but “one scene can be shot for a day”.
Lu Wen stocked up two boxes of functional drinks to prepare for the big night. Fortunately, the hotel is not too far from the shooting location, so he can sleep for an extra ten minutes in the morning.
The shooting was divided into AB group, Qu Yanting led the A group, and the B group mainly shot the rendering shots. The first scene was filmed at the train station in the town. The scenery and objects have a history of two or three hundred years, retaining the old Guangzhou style of the Republic of China.
This scene requires dozens of extras. The casting director counts the number of people at the door of the carriage and arranges the group to get on the bus. Tao Suyi, played by Xian Qi, has done her makeup and is waiting under the pergola.
Ren Shu copied the loudspeaker and dispatched the audience, shouting: “Is the male number one ready?!”
“It’s all right!” Lu Wen bowed to let the stylist spray the final styling hairspray, strode over, Instantly caught everyone’s attention.
Meng Chuntai was born in a family of antiques. He was born with a golden spoon in his mouth. He had learned the ability to recognize treasures since he was a child, but he strayed into gambling and ended up ruining his family and his family.
It is rumored that before his death, Mr. Meng gave it to Meng Chuntai as a family heirloom. Afterwards, creditors, bandits, relatives and friends, all of whom had ghosts, all set their sights on the prodigal Meng Chuntai.
After mediating and hiding, Meng Chuntai left Peiping and went south to Guangzhou to go to his distant uncle Tang Deyin.
When he was desperate, he met the courtesan Chen Bizhi. By chance, Meng Chuntai realized that in the turbulent situation, hiding in the East and Tibet would not help at all, and he needed a real hiding.
Qu Yanting was talking to the lighting team leader, his eyes swept over Lu Wen from the bottom up, and said, “Get ready to shoot.”
Lu Wen boarded the train, sat down by the window in the crowded and stuffy carriage, and hugged a suitcase tightly. After the play, each group is in place and officially starts.
The steam train slowly entered the station. Meng Chuntai sat in the carriage out of place. The cluttered environment and the vulgar language around him made him uncomfortable. He turned his face and looked out the window in annoyance.
The whistle sounded, and the passengers flocked to get out of the car. Meng Chuntai couldn’t help but spat a swear word when he was pushed by a stranger. Soon, a quarrel broke out in the car with dialects from all over the world.
Meng Chuntai was protecting the suitcase, but he couldn’t fight back when he was punched in the face. The villagers saw that the young master dressed like him was not pleasing to the eye, and took the opportunity to beat him up.
When the carriage gradually disappeared, Meng Chuntai climbed up from under the table with the box, touched the corner of his mouth and bled. Thinking back to the days when he was in Peiping, he would always be in front of him wherever he went, but now he is being bullied by a group of hillbillies.
With the tip of his tongue pressed against his cheek, Meng Chuntai tightened his tie and got out of the car. There was no one on the platform, only the hot and humid wind from Guangzhou was blowing.
Meng Chuntai was wearing a dark brown British suit, with her arms open, showing the waistline drawn from her waistcoat. The bumps all the way, the crisp fabric left creases and stains, and the pointed toe of the leather shoes was worn out.
He took out his carved pocket watch, and when he bowed his head, his jet-black hair fell into a tangle and tucked it in front of his forehead in embarrassment.
Not far away, Tao Suyi stood under a ray of sunshine, her blue Yindanshilin cheongsam swaying gently, she was too reserved to go forward, she summoned up her courage and called out “cousin”.
Meng Chuntai felt tactful and familiar, and looked up.
The last time I saw him was three years ago, in Peiping, Tao Suyi’s impression of Meng Chuntai was suave and romantic.
Meng Chuntai approached and looked at this slim cousin.
The picture on the monitor is very eye-catching. The poor boy is pure and beautiful, and he can imagine many kinds of stories, but Qu Yanting only wanted the one he wrote, and mercilessly shouted: “Stop, another one in the fourth act.”
After that, Qu Yanting held Horn: “However, another one.”
“Take the third one.”
“Come again.”
“Cheer up, another one .
”
strict. This scene was unknowingly worn until noon. The noon heat in Guangzhou in August was steaming, and the actors’ makeup was spent.
The assistant of the crew brought in the lunch box, and Qu Yanting said kindly, “Let’s eat first, and then shoot after eating.”
Lu Wen’s shirt was completely sweaty, he put on shorts and a vest, and got under the director’s big umbrella to enjoy the cool. It was too hot, and he had no appetite for the boxed lunch.
Not long after, Xian Qi came over after taking off her makeup, and said, “Director, tell me about
the drama.” Qu Yanting wanted her to take a break and talk about it after dinner. Since she came, she responded, just in time for the cameraman of the show team. When shooting, he uses the other person’s lens.
Tao Suyi is a smart woman who has read books, even if she is shy and timid, she must be restrained and generous. She had a crush on Meng Chuntai three years ago, so she came to the platform early to wait and saw Meng Chuntai turned upside down, she was both pleasantly surprised and sad.
“You are in a hurry to recognize him, but you are afraid that he will not recognize you. In this mood, you shout that cousin.”
This scene will be close-up, that is, staring at the camera. Qu Yanting sat on the chair with his legs tightly together, his lips tightly closed, and secretly grabbed the side of his trousers with both hands, like a woman grabbing a plain cheongsam.
He remained motionless, and when the camera zoomed in, Ruifeng’s eyes were slightly rounded, looking at “Meng Chuntai”‘s worn dress and leather shoes, and looking at “Meng Chuntai”‘s colorful mouth, the small expression would be magnified on the screen.
Lu Wen watched with mineral water. This was a rivalry without an opponent. At this moment, Qu Yanting pretended to be in front of the camera with a soft heart, silently pouring out his hazy love.
He squeezed the bottle tightly and had the urge to smash the camera and stand in front of the man.
On the table was the pork ribs noodles that had fallen off slightly. Qu Yanting only ate two bites. After the play was over, the noodles would probably be soaked. Lu Wen withdrew from the umbrella, ran out of the platform without calling the assistant who was eating.
There are many local restaurants in the ancient town, which are very authentic. Lu Wen took a look around the station and picked the one with the most prosperous business.
The restaurant was full. Lu Wen stopped at the glass window for cooking. When he turned around, he found that the camera and the director of the program group had followed him and said, “My God, you don’t take a break at noon, are you not afraid of heatstroke?” The
director chatted . “Aren’t you used to eating boxed lunches?”
“I don’t care, come and buy something for Teacher Qu.” Lu Wen looked at the menu on the wall and muttered, “I don’t eat fish, shrimp and seafood, and I don’t like to eat internal organs. Let’s have beef rice and another cup of herbal tea.”
The interval between meals was a bit boring, since the first interview was interspersed in the first episode of the show, Lu Wen and Qu Yanting were too busy to get in for the second time. The director seized the moment and wanted to ask a few random questions.
Lu Wen had no objection. He scratched his hair first and reminded the cameraman not to photograph his big shorts.
Director: “Is there a lot of pressure for this drama to play with the best actor and actress?”
“It’s quite a lot.” Lu Wen said, “Although I am blindly confident, but facing Teacher Yu and Teacher Tu at the same time, it is indeed It’s a test.” The
director: “The shooting with Xianqi in the morning didn’t go well, what do you think is the reason?”
Lu Wen’s performance was fine, he explained for Xianqi euphemistically: “It’s normal, just started looking for someone I’m looking for the status, and Director Qu is more strict, so I took a few more shots.”
Referring to Qu Yanting, the director said, “We have been paying attention to the audience’s discussions since the broadcast, and there are a lot of topics surrounding you and Director Qu, you know. Is it?”
Lu Wen answered frankly: “I know.” The
director tried to go further: “There are some rumors between you.”
“Well.” Lu Wen nodded, “I heard a little bit.” The
director asked: “Then what is your attitude?”
Lu Wenle said: “Look at what you asked, who is my attitude towards? For the audience, everyone has the freedom to discuss public figures. I don’t care, and I don’t mind.” The
director said . : “What about Director Qu?”
It was too hot in the restaurant, Lu Wen squeezed his vest and fanned, and said, “Attitude towards him… I have come to buy food for him myself. Let’s experience it for yourself.”
Seeing that Lu Wen did not contradict these topics, he boldly said : “The audience joked that among the people you’ve worked with, Director Qu fits your ideal type.”
Lu Wen laughed: “I knew I would guess that.” The
director: “Then do you want to take this opportunity to clarify? ”
Forget it.” Lu Wen satirized the status quo of public opinion, “The rumors swarmed and clarified that no one cares.”
So the editor and director concluded: “So similar speculations are baseless.” The
beef rice and herbal tea were packed, and Lu Wen carried them When he walked out of the restaurant, it might be hot. He took a few beats to realize what the other party had just said for him.
Is it baseless?
Of course not, it is precisely because there are too many “bases”.
Lu Wen doesn’t care how people who hate him see him, but for those who like him, he can’t deceive with confidence. Moreover, it has been a long time since the first time it was secretly photographed, and there will be various speculations in the future.
He stopped and asked, “Are the audience curious about my relationship with Director Qu?” The
director replied, “Yes.”
Lu Wen said, “I can satisfy everyone’s curiosity.” The
director looked at him in surprise, In the face of the star’s self-exposure, he was a little helpless and forgot to smooth the game.
Lu Wen stared at the camera, and stood with his hands behind his back in the golden sunlight. The background was the old front of the restaurant. The whole picture was full of the feeling of social news.
He was sweaty and hot-headed, and it was hard to tell what the consequences would be.
The whole world probably doesn’t believe it.
But Lu Wen actually came out of the closet – “Yes, I like Teacher Qu very much.”
