Crossover Actors - Chapter 104
[Chapter 104]
After talking to Xian Qi, Qu Yanting drank the remaining half of the bottle of mineral water, picked up chopsticks, and turned it into a pile of pork ribs. The figure swayed in the corner of the light, and he tilted his head to see Lu Wen running over.
“Where have you been?” Qu Yanting asked.
Lu Wen got under the umbrella, sat on the small bench, and said, “I’ll buy you some food, don’t eat noodles.”
Qu Yanting took a wet towel to wipe his sweat, then took a bite of the beef rice, it tasted good , but the weather is so hot that he has no appetite.
“Drink herbal tea for appetizers.” Lu Wen said, “Eat some.” Qu Yanting
dug out a large spoonful and fed it: “Let’s eat together.”
people. Lu Wen leaned forward to eat the spoonful, and was too lazy to remove the chopsticks, so he let Qu Yanting occasionally feed him.
From preparation to launch, the time was too fast to count. Qu Yanting said, “Is the show almost finished?”
Lu Wen said “um”. According to the size of an ordinary reality show, it could have ended a week ago, but since its launch, the response has been hot. The program team wanted to shoot as much content as possible, so it has been recorded until now.
Qu Yanting mumbled: “Except for the awkwardness of the first episode, it went smoothly afterwards, and nothing went wrong.”
Lu Wen was a little guilty. Well edited and post-production. But it’s all said and done, so let’s go.
Filming continued in the afternoon. The actors needed to constantly touch up their makeup and redesign the lighting. The reunion scene of Meng Chuntai and Tao Suyi took a whole day to shoot.
Qu Yanting has absolute leadership, but he attaches great importance to the opinions of various working groups. No detail is allowed to be sloppy, and he strictly and professionally controls the effect of each frame.
After finishing work before dusk, Group A went back to the hotel to rest. Qu Yanting went to Group B alone to supervise the work. At night, he returned to the hotel to work overtime to check the renderings shot during the day.
The crew was assigned as usual, the floors where the actors and the work crew lived were separated, Lu Wen was on the seventh floor, and Qu Yanting liked quiet, and it was in the room at the end of the corridor on the eighth floor.
Sun Xiaojian was too aware of the virtues of his ancestors, and kept monitoring Lu Wen in the room. It was only the first day of the startup, and there was no rumor that the male protagonist entered the director’s room late at night.
On the second day, group A filmed in a grand mansion in the ancient town. It rained a little at dawn, and the old buildings in Nanyang style were combined with a more historical and heavy feel.
Lu Wen and Yu Xiaoqing are about to shoot the first opposite scene. The characters’ emotions are relatively flat, so there is no need to be too nervous, and the process of facing the scene early in the morning is also very easy.
What he didn’t understand was that Qu Yanting personally participated in the rehearsal, and filmed the scenes of one male and two males in the order of the story development as much as possible, giving him the time to get familiarized, immersed and digested to the greatest extent possible to reduce pressure.
After the on-site scheduling was completed, Qu Yanting held the walkie-talkie, and there was a faint echo of “action” in the living room.
Meng Chuntai arrived at Tang Mansion from the station. His dirty suit and elegant mansion seemed out of place. The servants looked at him with strange eyes. After all, Tang Deyin’s home had never seen such a shabby guest.
However, Meng Chuntai was very calm, and was led by the housekeeper to the Western-style living room. After standing still, he scanned the room roughly. The gilded candlesticks and aromatherapy bottles are all French, the mantle clock is carved from the sun god in Greek mythology, and the coffee pot on the table is carved from sterling silver, from Great Britain.
Meng Chuntai recognized the luxurious imported products in the house, played them, and even gave them to a bunch of wine and meat friends when they got tired of playing. It’s a pity he’s down and out, he has no possessions and no friends.
Meng Chuntai, with arrogant pride and defeated humbleness, touched the corners of his blood clotted mouth and called out “Uncle”.
Tang Deyin was sitting on the leather sofa wearing a light-colored long gown, and there was a trace of ridicule in his eyes. Three years ago, when he went to Peiping, this young master Meng ignored him, and was urged by his mother to call him uncle.
Now that the tiger has fallen to Pingyang, it seems that he understands that when people suffer, the least important thing is the backbone.
Tang Deyin raised his eyes with only kindness left, and replied, “Sit down quickly, at this time the bureau was bumpy from Peiping to Guangzhou, and I had to lose a layer of skin. Anyway, I arrived safely.”
Meng Chuntai took a seat and said, “I have no choice but to disturb you. Uncle.”
“What are you talking about?” Tang Deyin patted his knee, the emerald finger on his hand was very eye-catching, “Why is his face injured?”
Meng Chuntai was already the prey of many forces in Peiping, so he was embarrassed to hide in Tibet. , but still retains the face of the young master, and refuses to admit that he was crushed by a group of villagers at the station.
Tao Suyi stood quietly and said for him, “Cousin has been bullied.”
Tang Deyin immediately ordered the housekeeper to ask the doctor from Belarus to come over, and ordered the servant to take good care of Meng Chuntai. After the arrangement was made, he asked, “Do you still remember Su Yi?”
Meng Chuntai lowered his eyelashes and nodded.
Tang Deyin said, “She has always missed you, and yesterday she begged me to pick you up at the station.”
Tao Suyi shyly turned her face away. Her father, Tang Deyin’s younger brother, had been an officer in Nanjing for a long time, and her mother died of illness a year ago. Apart from Tang Deyin, the uncle, his only relative is his grandfather in San Francisco.
Tang Deyin seemed to feel sorry for Meng Chuntai, and asked the housekeeper to bring the prepared silver dollars and bills, and said, “Take this money for your pockets, and ask the tailor to measure the size tomorrow. Make more suits and cheongsam, and ask the housekeeper if you need anything in the future. Speak up .”
Meng Chuntai has only known profligacy since he was a child, but he also understands the situation of relying on others. He had heard from his mother that Tang Deyin was the chairman of the chamber of commerce, with considerable fame and status, with countless shops, docks and trading companies.
He said: “Uncle, you can assign me any position you want. I can’t eat rice.”
“It’s good for you to be motivated, but don’t be in a hurry.” Tang Deyin said with relief, “When you first arrive, let’s take care of your energy and spirit first. Let’s go and relax .”
Meng Chuntai gave up, thanked him gratefully, and went with the old servant to see the doctor of Belarus to treat the wound. Tao Suyi couldn’t rest assured and went with him hesitantly.
Tang Deyin stroked Jade’s fingers, waited for the footsteps to go away, and said to the housekeeper, “Good life to serve Young Master Meng.” The next week was mainly about Lu Wen and Xianqi’s rivalry, and the tacit understanding between the two was getting higher and higher.
The scenes are divided into primary and secondary, and the emotional scenes in the early stage were relatively easy, and Qu Yanting did not have to work hard to direct them. Looking at Lu Wen’s “falling in love” from a side-by-side perspective, it felt quite fresh.
Meng Chuntai settled down in Guangzhou. He thought it would depend on people’s face, but Tang Deyin treated him very well, and asked the housekeeper to give him a banknote every three or five minutes.
Meng Chuntai lived a life of brocade clothes and jade food again, but after experiencing a family breakdown, his temperament became dull, and he was afraid that such a day would disappear one day.
Fortunately, there is Tao Suyi, who gets along day and night under the same roof, and Meng Chuntai is taken care of and considerate by Tao Suyi. He knew that this new-found cousin adored him, and Tao Suyi also gave him unique comfort.
Meng Chuntai is used to being romantic. He has won famous actresses in Peiping City, chased dancers, entangled female students of normal schools, and there are countless eldest ladies who have scandals with him.
In the current downturn, I didn’t expect that there is a cousin who likes him, and God treats him well.
Tao Suyi wanted to make Meng Chuntai happy, take him around to relax, visit the flower market, eat sugar water, and watch the latest movie. In fact, it is a pastime of some girls’ homes. Meng Chuntai is not interested, but is happy to accompany Tao Suyi to do it together.
A classmate asked Tao Suyi for an outing. She took Meng Chuntai with her. A group of young men and women chatted and laughed. Meng Chuntai was rarely happy and played a harmonica to Tao Suyi.
In the later stage of the musical instrument session, Lu Wen actually played a melodious tune. After finishing work a few nights ago, he practiced by himself after reciting the script.
This scene was filmed in a park, with live radio, and even a small fan could not be used. Qu Yanting’s temples were wet with sweat, staring at the close-up shot of Meng Chuntai playing the harmonica on the monitor, her voice becoming sticky when she called to stop.
After a five-minute rest, Ren Shu unscrewed the big water bottle and said jokingly, “Is it vinegar?”
Qu Yanting reacted for a while, then denied: “How come.”
Ren Shu took a few sips, and wiped his mouth roughly: “What are you arguing, your eyes are straight.”
“Am I turning a corner to see you?” Qu Yanting sorted out the messy director Taiben, “It’s hot, I’m too lazy to raise the bar with you.”
Ren Shule said: “I am reminding you with good intentions. You have to pay attention to adjusting your mentality. This is pure love. When you get a hot shot, I’m afraid you won’t be able to bear it.”
Qu Yanting laughed and scolded : “Are you bothered?” The
sky was still bright at the end of work, and Lu Wen was almost fainted by his shirt and trousers. After changing his clothes and stepping on flip-flops, he saw Qu Yanting waiting under a big banyan tree with a bag.
Before all the staff around, Lu Wen walked over and asked, “Director Qu, are you still going to Group B today ?
”
The alleys above are complicated and narrow, and it is inconvenient for the crew to drive on Broad Street, so the vehicles are parked far away. Lu Wen took Qu Yanting’s bag and walked out slowly together.
When there was no one left, Lu Wen took out a car key from his pocket and said, “Director Qu, can I take you for a ride?”
Qu Yanting couldn’t think of how to do it, but nodded immediately and said, “Go.”
Park An old-fashioned bicycle was parked under the iron fence. Lu Wen walked over to unlock it, put the bag on the handlebars, straddled his long legs and squeezed the bell handsomely.
Qu Yanting laughed and said, “Where did you get the bicycle?”
Lu Wen said, “I borrowed it from the crew of “Fenghuo Girl Love”, come up quickly.”
Qu Yanting ran to sit in the back seat, wrapping one arm around Lu Wen’s waist , Riding on the street, the T-shirt filled with the warm evening wind, jolted violently, and he screamed.
“What’s the matter?”
“It’s okay, my butt hurts.”
“Scared me, I thought you stuck your feet in the wheel of the car.”
“Are you my child?”
Since joining the group, the two of them haven’t had a chance to get along alone, let alone let loose like this. Qu Yanting grabbed Lu Wen’s hands tightly. T-shirts, he wasn’t jealous during the shoot, but he couldn’t see or touch them these days, he simply missed each other a little.
Qu Yanting raised his head and asked, “What do you do every day after work?”
“Read the script, exercise.” Lu Wen turned around and complained, “Sun Xiaojian has been monitoring me, and I’m about to be stared out of depression by him!”
Qu Yanting hammered him Back: “Look carefully at the road!”
Gradually riding to the scenic area, due to the weather, there were very few tourists, and every small shop was empty. The two of them were just thirsty and stopped at the door of an ice room.
The store is not big, so Lu Wen and Qu Yanting picked the table closest to the fan, ordered Yangzhi nectar and coconut ice cream, and ate them face to face.
Many actors who came to film have visited this store. There is a large photo on the wall. Lu Wen said: “It seems that there is such a store near every school, and there is one at the entrance of my middle school.”
“Me too.” Qu Yanting said. , “I went there every day for a while.”
This is a holy place for targets. Gu Zhuoyan and Zhuang Fanxin often date in this place. Lu Wen asked, “Who are you with?”
Qu Yanting asked in return, “Then who are you with?”
Lu Wen said : “Mingzi and the others, sometimes they also invite the band to drink.”
Qu Yanting said with a smile, “I’m going to work.” Snack bars are his first choice. Go home and cook something delicious for Ruan Feng.
The coconut-flavored ice cream melted on the tip of his tongue, and Lu Wen couldn’t help but imagine: “If I go to drink milk tea after school and meet you working part-time, will there be any story?”
The rich man fell in love with the poor student at first sight. After that, he went to eat ice cream every day. After work, he escorted him home in the dark. One day, a poor student put a note in the ice cream saying “I like you too”.
Lu Wen was dreaming endlessly, with a smirk on his face.
Qu Yanting thought for a moment and said, “I’m a sophomore in high school. You just graduated from elementary school and entered your first year of junior high. Who wants to have a story with you.
”
Leaving the ice room, Lu Wenzai and Qu Yanting took a circle along the seaside road, and it was already dark when he returned to the hotel. After entering the elevator, Qu Yanting swiped
his card to press the eighth floor. When Lu Wen was about to swipe, he covered the button and said, “Come to my place tonight.”
Next door, Lu Wen was irritated when he thought about it, and when he wanted to refuse, he greeted him, “Is it suitable? Wouldn’t it be inconvenient?”
Qu Yanting wanted to say “what are you pretending to be?”, thinking of the conversation in the ice room, he said, “Look at it. For the sake of your handsomeness, if you’re still waiting for me to get off work, then I’ll…”
Ding, the elevator door opened on the third floor, and the two drama managers packed dinner from the restaurant and came in to say hello: “Director Qu, Teacher Lu.” Qu
Yanting nodded . , Waiting for the elevator door to close, the four quietly watched the numbers jump.
Suddenly, Lu Wen asked awkwardly: “Mr. Qu, what are you doing?”
Qu Yanting really wanted to give him a kick, so he bit the bullet and said, “Just for tomorrow’s scene… Help you make up for the lesson.”
When he arrived on the eighth floor, Qu Yanting went out first, Lu Wen followed closely, and deliberately took out the script, and when the ladder door was closed, the two drama managers looked at each other behind the door.
“Then what, Teacher Lu’s scene tomorrow…”
“If I remember correctly…is it a bed scene?”
