Huayu: When the director changed his major

Chapter 256 Is Two Days Enough?

"what?"

Mao Xiaotong looked up and saw that it was Cheng Xi.

She had heard this voice several times, but it was still unfamiliar.

"I just have this one."

"Oh."

"Director Cheng, I'll give it to you. Not many people recognize me anyway."

Cheng Xi looked at Mao Xiaotong as she handed him the mask.

So he nodded, took the mask and said thank you.

It’s just a bit embarrassing that the mask is a little small, especially since it’s pink.

Cheng Xi looks a little funny when he wears it.

When Mao Xiaotong saw this, she couldn't help but cover her mouth and chuckle.

Seeing Mao Xiaotong smiling so sweetly, Cheng Xi felt a lot more relaxed.

"It's so cold, what are you doing downstairs?"

"I'm going to the supermarket to buy some earplugs. I don't sleep well because it's a bit noisy next door."

I heard Mao Xiaotong say that she was going to buy earplugs because there was a noise next door.

Cheng Xi blinked and thought of something.

Could it really be Xiaotong next door?

When Mao Xiaotong talked about her poor sleep, her face turned red.

She had hoped to just endure it and it would be over, but she didn't expect it to never end.

The voice sounds familiar, maybe it's from my own crew.

But could you please pay attention to the impact?

Later I couldn’t help it, as I had to film a movie the next day, so I got dressed and went downstairs to see if the supermarket had any earplugs for sale.

"Director Cheng, how about you?"

"My throat feels a little uncomfortable, so I'll buy some throat lozenges."

After saying that, he pinched his throat.

But Mao Xiaotong clearly heard from the beginning that Cheng Xi's voice was normal.

Just when Mao Xiaotong was still a little puzzled, the elevator door opened with a "ding" sound.

So the two of them went to the nearby supermarket downstairs to buy things.

The hotel is located in the center of Puzhehei Tourist Area in Wenshan Prefecture, and there is a large supermarket nearby.

Cheng Xi looked at Mao Xiaotong and saw her following him without saying anything.

After finding the throat lozenges, Cheng Xi asked the salesperson if they had earplugs.

So the two of them walked half a circle around the supermarket together before they got the earplugs.

Looking at this silent and calm atmosphere, Cheng Xi still spoke:
"How is it? Are you feeling accustomed to being on the set?"

"It's pretty good, the atmosphere on set, but the food is a little strange to me."

The taste of Yunnan may not suit this Tianjin girl.

"Director Cheng, I've always wanted to ask you a question."

The two chatted as they walked towards the cashier door.

After a few words, Mao Xiaotong seemed less nervous and suddenly asked.

"Just ask."

“Do you remember the audition for ‘The Beginning’?”

"Remember, I asked someone to leave your number with me."

When Mao Xiaotong heard this, she was instantly delighted.

She thought Cheng Xi had forgotten it long ago.

After all, it happened two years ago.

During the casting of "The Beginning", Cheng Xi lost to Reba, and he even left her number for her.

But there has been no further news.

Later she couldn't help it and shared it with her best friend.

My best friend helped me analyze it for a long time and came to a conclusion.

She was probably interested in you at the beginning, but you never took the initiative, and there are so many girls in the entertainment industry, so she probably forgot about you.

"Next time you have an opportunity like this, you must do your best!"

"If Director Cheng comes to me, I will definitely hug that thick thigh tightly!"

Seeing her best friend acting like a fangirl, Mao Xiaotong was speechless.

But at the same time, I also felt a little regretful.

Maybe if you seize the opportunity, your career path will be smoother.

When she figured it out and wanted to take the initiative to find Cheng Xi.

He had gone too far and he couldn't speak anymore.

So when I heard that he was casting for his new drama "Three Lives Three Worlds", I came here for an audition.

In her heart, she secretly hoped that Cheng Xi would see her again.

"Director Cheng, you still remember it. I thought you had forgotten it long ago."

"Why did you leave me your number?"

Cheng Xi thought about the situation at that time and why.

Of course, you were attracted by her beauty, and you also studied dance, so you wanted to form a dance troupe at that time.

It hasn’t been done yet, alas.

Boss Xu deserves to die. So he said:

"I thought you had great potential and there was a role suitable for you. But then the project never came to fruition, so I didn't contact you."

Cheng Xi found that he had really learned to speak differently to different people.

A little more sophisticated than in the previous life.

In fact, this habit is not good and should be changed.

After hearing this, Mao Xiaotong's expression improved a little.

Cheng Xi paid for the earplugs and throat lozenges together.

"Director Cheng, let me pay!"

"It's okay, the same."

Then he gave the earplugs to Mao Xiaotong.

“Thank you for the mask.”

When the two walked to the corridor of the hotel room, Mao Xiaotong's pace was obviously slowed down.

Mao Xiaotong thought at this time:
Should I invite Director Cheng in for a glass of water?

My best friend also told me to be more proactive.

He left me his number before, so he must have some feelings towards me, right?

Will Director Cheng think I have other ideas? Will he look down on me and reject me?

Just as Mao Xiaotong's mind was racing, Cheng Xi stopped at the door of her room.

Mao Xiaotong was delighted. I wanted to thank him for buying me earplugs and also asked Director Cheng for some acting advice.

It should be fine, right?
So he opened his mouth and said:
"Director Cheng, your throat is uncomfortable. Would you like to come in and have a glass of water?"

Cheng Xi was stunned when he heard this, blinked at Mao Xiaotong, and said:

"Xiaotong, thank you. I'm not free today, maybe next time."

Mao Xiaotong was stunned when she heard this. Isn’t your stopping here a hint for me to invite you?

At the same time, her face turned red to her ears.

The first time I suggested inviting Director Cheng into the room, I was ruthlessly rejected.

It's so embarrassing.

What surprised her even more was that after Cheng Xi finished speaking.

He took out a room card from his pocket and the door opened with a "beep"!
Mao Xiaotong's eyes suddenly widened like copper bells!

next door!

It's him!

Director Cheng!

Is that woman Reba? Nazha? Or Huang Mengying?
It can’t be Tan Songyun!
They are all from Beijing Film Academy, so they should know each other.

"Good night."

After Cheng Xi finished speaking, he ignored the surprised Mao Xiaotong and pushed the door open.

Only Mao Xiaotong was left standing in the corridor in a mess.

"So, the lozenges are for the other person to suck on."

After the throat lozenges were in place, Cheng Xi still wanted to take some action.

But Reba rejected it.

No matter how Cheng Xi coaxed her, she said she would be gentler.

Reba looked unconvinced.

This made Cheng Xi feel very uncomfortable. If it weren't for the eldest princess, who would dare to reject me like this?

"Be good, brother. Wait until my throat feels better, otherwise I really won't be able to film tomorrow."

"Then I'll be gentler."

"I don't believe it. My arm was pinched blue by my brother."

It seems so, because Reba's arms are used as a fulcrum.

That burst seemed to be too fierce.

Too much force and no attention.

No wonder his throat was broken from shouting.

So Cheng Xi had to give up.

Oh, if I had known, I would have gone next door to drink water.

But since Ermei is here, I can’t do such a beastly thing.

How could I, Cheng Xi, be such a person?

So the next day Cheng Xi said to Zhang Mingzhong:
"Mao Xiaotong seems to be unwell. Please postpone her filming for two days."

"Ah?"

"uncomfortable?"

"You didn't tell me."

So Cheng Xi pretended to cough twice.

Zhang Mingzhong slapped his head and seemed to have suddenly realized something:
"I told you yesterday, but you see, I almost forgot."

"No problem, postpone it for two days. Let Reba and Nazha shoot the freed-up time for her drama first."

"Uh, but Director, are two days enough?"

Now it was Cheng Xi's turn to scratch his head:

"enough."
