Crossover Actors - Chapter 112
[Chapter 112]
There were many people in the crew, and the six-tier cake was divided up. Lu Wen has been controlling his diet for the characters. Tonight, he broke his precept once and occupied a whole piece of the top floor.
The lawn was covered with shading cloth, and Lu Wen and Qu Yanting sat cross-legged facing each other, digging and eating cakes one by one. Lu Wen ate the edge carefully, but Qu Yanting forked a piece directly from the middle.
“Hey!” Lu Wen hurriedly said, “You ate the words!”
Qu Yanting smacked his lips: “It tastes better with jam.”
Of course Lu Wen understood, but he was reluctant to destroy the words on it, tangled silently and childishly, Qu Yanting dug out another large piece and stuffed it firmly into his mouth.
The phone rang, and friends inside and outside the circle sent blessings after the early morning. Lu Wen sent a circle of friends, which was regarded as a unified reply and thanks.
Qu Yanting was subconsciously asked, “Did you send red envelopes to the little ones?”
“It’s necessary, don’t make a break.” Lu Wen opened the chat group, collected money, clicked a voice, and the chorus of the three came, “I wish you good luck. Happy birthday…”
Lu Wen grinned and replied: I had a very happy birthday today.
Lian Yiming: Thirty years old, Wener.
Gu Zhuoyan: Although it is the age of 30, I hope you are as happy as you are in your twenties.
Su Wang: Stop being emotional, he is happy every day.
Lu Wen chatted in the group for a while, then switched back to the circle of friends, glanced at the dense likes and comments, and found that Lu Zhanqing had liked him two minutes ago.
“My dad hasn’t slept yet?” he said, “Just like it, and don’t bless me.”
Qu Yanting said: “Don’t you understand Uncle’s character? Stop being arrogant, take the initiative, and I want to see Commander Huang.”
Lu Wen sent a video invitation to Lu Zhanqing, and it was connected. He moved to Qu Yanting’s side to enter the mirror together, the light was not very good, and the conditions seemed difficult.
Lu Zhanqing didn’t say anything, but his eyebrows were wrinkled. Fortunately, Lu Wen said a lot of joyful words, and he was a little relieved.
Talking about when the filming will end, Lu Wen and Qu Yanting can’t be sure, but the Spring Festival should also be spent in the crew, which made Lu Zhanqing’s stretched brows wrinkle again.
After the celebration, the whole group continued to shoot and worked all night.
It was a little cold in the morning, and when he finished work, Qu Yanting’s hands were slightly frozen, and he slowly picked up the walkie-talkie and the script.
Lu Wen took off his makeup and came over, took off the functional wind jacket with body temperature, wrapped it around Qu Yanting’s body, carried the bag again, and walked out of the studio with the other party in his arms.
Qu Yanting put his pockets in his pocket, found a car key, and asked
, “Have you borrowed a bicycle from the ‘Fenghuo’ crew again?” A little surprise.”
Indeed, after finishing work every day, Qu Yanting was so exhausted that he didn’t want to walk a step, and a few days ago, he was envious of a child who passed by on a roller coaster in the heat of the summer.
He asked curiously, “Then where did you get the car?”
Lu Wen stinked and said, “Me, there are many doors, and the backstage is hard, so it’s trivial.”
When he walked to the canteen near the studio, Qu Yanting saw the car parked at the door. The car is actually a four-seater tourist sightseeing car with a shed, and the body is painted with the color “Happy Tour of Charming Ancient Town”.
Lu Wen threw his bag on the back seat and said casually, “Get in the car.” There was
no door, so Qu Yanting sat in a low body, feeling that he could step on the ground as soon as he stretched his legs, Lu Wen started the car next to him, not sure where he pressed it wrongly, The sound suddenly sang loudly: “What a spring flower…”
“Fuck,” Lu Wen groped and turned off the music, “The spring flower will be in a few months.”
Qu Yanting was still cold just now, and now she is sweating , asked: “Where did you get the car from?”
Lu Wen replied: “Just…the scenic spot management office rented it. It was not rented to individuals. The boss’s daughter is my fan, so I rented it to me. How about it?”
Qu Yanting said truthfully: “It seems that two elderly people are going to go. Shopping at the market.”
“Huh?” Lu Wen hesitated, “I’m really going to buy something to eat on the way…”
Qu Yanting smiled and said, “Go, maybe our old age life is like this, it’s good to experience it in advance.
Lu Wen retorted: “I’m also a person with a pilot’s license, so I won’t drive a scooter when I’m old, right? I don’t, I’m going to go for a ride with an open hood when I’m eighty.” Qu
Yanting said worriedly, “Don’t put your bones together . The shelves are broken.”
I was not used to it at first, and within a few days, Lu Wen and Qu Yanting could not wait to drive on the set. After finishing work every day and wandering around the town, once the electricity ran out, the two took turns pushing the cart back to the hotel, and when they saw other crews passing by, they immediately stopped and pretended to look at the scenery.
The weather is getting colder and cooler, but it fits the changes in the plot of the movie.
Meng Chuntai gradually realized that the number of people looking for him to study antiques was quietly changing. Some officials in the political and business circles decreased, while the number of Japanese people was increasing.
As the war spreads, some people transfer their assets and leave Guangzhou, some people wait and see, and some people are blindly optimistic.
Meng Chuntai didn’t like the Japanese, and even contemptuously. In the face of the Japanese’s invitation to refuse, he would refuse.
Meng Chuntai couldn’t help but feel panic. The things that everyone once bowed their heads to can no longer shake the power of the Japanese. In this city, under the current situation, the status of all walks of life changes subtly, and the cards are shuffled every day.
Chen Bizhi often asks him when the Japanese will leave and whether Guangzhou will become a battlefield.
To Meng Chuntai’s surprise, soon after, Tang Deyin, as the president of the Chamber of Commerce, began to work for the Japanese. For people with prestige and power to endure humiliation and treason, it only shows that the situation is really bad.
The inspection at the port in the city is getting tighter day by day, and the people dare not speak out, they can only pray that the gunshots will come later.
For Meng Chuntai, the invitation of the Japanese has become a threat, and he has no room for resistance. His antique treasure has turned from a capital close to him to a coveted prey.
Finally one day, the Japanese asked about the “green baby”.
Life forms an unsolvable closed loop, and the crisis comes again, and it is more menacing than the previous two.
The difference is that Meng Chuntai is no longer depressed and cowardly. He dresses up delicately and suavely every day, goes in and out of high-end restaurants, and mediates with various forces without being humble or arrogant.
Occasionally when he was free, he ordered the driver to park the car near the church. The war was tight, and the church took in some homeless children. Tao Suyi often came to help, and he would look at each other from a distance for a long time.
The tranquility was about to be broken soon, and Meng Chuntai looked at the cumulonimbus clouds in the sky, waiting for a storm that would come sooner or later.
As the story progresses to the middle and late stages, the difficulty of interpretation, shooting and scene scheduling is increasing in all aspects. Qu Yanting was very calm, slow, and insisted meticulously.
The Spring Festival was spent in the crew. Those two months were the time when there were the fewest people in Guzhen. They concentrated on filming large scenes with more group performances. One of the climax scenes took more than half a month to finish.
Qu Yanting is the backbone of the crew, and he is also the needle of the sea. As long as he is not chaotic, everyone can work in an orderly manner.
Under the dual pressure of physical and psychological, Qu Yanting’s body that stopped evenly lost too much weight, and his waist was so thin that only a twist remained, as if he would break it if he plucked it.
Lu Wen didn’t say anything, but he always pulled Qu Yanting gently to his knees, wrapped it in a thick coat, and circled it firmly. They read the script like this, comprehend the lines, and tell the play, and eventually Qu Yanting would fall asleep tiredly in his arms.
When spring starts, flowers are everywhere in the ancient town, and everyone is more energetic.
During this period, the chat group of the four became increasingly restless, and the other three voiced harassment from time to time——
“Are you settled in Guangdong?” “What level is your
Cantonese?”
“What epic masterpiece did you shoot? The film is four hours long. ”
Everyone has traveled back and forth to Tibet several times!”
Lu Zhanqing also felt that it was too long, but he had a different idea.
Lu Wen hesitated for a moment, and almost couldn’t help cheating a sum of money.
Until the end of April, the supporting actors were finished one after another, ushering in the shooting of the final scene.
The war has engulfed Guangzhou, and the situation in the city is chaotic. Massacres and deaths are being staged every day. The wharf is held by the Japanese army.
Several batches of courtesans were kidnapped, and Chen Bizhi hid at home. She didn’t know how long she could live. She hid a pistol/gun and joked: “If you can’t finish the Japanese, it’s a relief to kill yourself in a pinch.”
Meng Chuntai Hearing a sadness, he grabbed Chen Bizhi’s gun and said, “I won’t let you die.”
Chen Bizhi laughed at him: “You can’t protect yourself.”
Meng Chuntai was not joking. Now inflation is serious, and banknotes are like waste paper. And his antiques are even more in demand in troubled times. He gave all the antiques to Chen Bizhi as a dowry, and married a bureau chief as his aunt in exchange for the qualification to escape to Taiwan.
When they parted, Chen Bizhi said, “I don’t know if you would give it up.” Meng Chuntai
used her original words and replied, “One night and a hundred days for a husband and wife.”
Before the Japanese came to arrest him, he took the lead to find Tang Deyin.
Meng Chuntai knew that although Tang Deyin was willing to be a lackey, he would never be ambiguous in the face of interests. He would pretend to promise the Japanese to offer the green treasure, and actually hand it over to Tang Deyin.
“What conditions do you have?” Tang Deyin asked.
Meng Chuntai knew that there would be a transoceanic ship leaving the pier in three days and would send the foreigners away in the city. He said, “Please tell the Chief, if you want to get the green treasure, you can exchange the boarding quota.”
Tang Deyin laughed at him for being naive . “You still want to leave Guangzhou?”
“No, not for me.” Meng Chuntai said, “I should leave here safely and go to San Francisco to find her grandfather.”
Tao Suyi was the bargaining chip that Tang Deyin had been holding, and finally sent When it came into use, he rubbed the jade wrench on his hand and agreed to Meng Chuntai’s conditions.
Three days later, the wharf was full of people. Tao Suyi was holding her child alone. When she was about to board the ship, she couldn’t help but look back.
Meng Chuntai stood quietly not far away, wearing the dark brown suit that he had first arrived in Guangzhou, which was very old and was gently stirred by the sea breeze. He approached and tightened Tao Suyi’s cloak.
The child was hidden in the package, Meng Chuntai pressed down a little, and said, “I’m fatter than before.”
Tao Suyi’s eyes were red, “What will you do in the future?”
“Don’t worry.” Meng Chuntai looked down at her, “When you arrive in San Francisco, live a good life. , re-establish a good marriage.”
Tao Suyi burst into tears: “Cousin…”
Meng Chuntai hugged her, buried her head in her fluttering hair, and a moment of twilight was the last memory in this life.
After letting go for a long time, he said, “Come on board, take care.” The
deck was full of people, Tao Suyi’s figure became small, Meng Chuntai waved his hand, and smiled like the day we first met in Beiping in midsummer.
The whistle blared, and the ship pulled away from the dock.
Meng Chuntai turned around, walked along the edge, suddenly jumped, and jumped into a moored small cargo ship amid the surrounding screams. Immediately, the secretly monitoring military police dispatched in full force, and dozens of stabs/swords/guns were aimed at the hull.
Shaking, Meng Chuntai got into the empty cabin and slumped on the ground weakly.
The space on this side was like a gloomy prison cell. Meng Chuntai leaned against the wall of the ship, his eyes fixed on a certain point, and a chaotic picture flashed back in front of his eyes.
His father held him to teach, Fei was a red-feathered sparrow, and Cui was a green-feathered sparrow.
He went to school, identified hundreds of treasures, spent thousands of dollars and festered on a gambling table, the tree fell and the family was defeated, and the south went through another ups and downs.
Meng Chuntai’s face was as calm as the sea, and his eyes were as dark and dull as a handful of dried ashes. Through the window, he could see the white smoke wafting from the ship, and he wondered if Tao Suyi had noticed what he had stuffed in the child’s package.
Let’s fly away with the green baby.
A little afterglow was cast, and tiny flying dust swirled in the humid air. Meng Chuntai hid in the simple cabin and took out the handle/gun from his arms.
Bang, a gunshot.
Seagulls swept the waves, and crows flew over the mountains.
Qu Yanting’s directorial debut “Hidden”, the final scene of the filming was completed.
The male protagonist Lu Wen is officially finished.
They hugged tightly off-camera.
The author has something to say: I like period dramas very much, and I wrote such a story through the drama within the drama. I am grateful, and everyone can ignore it if it is too long-winded. Although Sinian is mentioned, it has nothing to do with Shattering Jade and Casting Beads, and it cannot be linked together. It is my idea of a split father’s story (it’s only rough, the details can’t be explored in depth). Just skip it and rant freely.
