The sickly beautiful woman is crazy [Entertainment]
Chapter 41 Publication (1)
The living room was not as brightly lit as before, probably Xu Jue turned it off because he felt dazzling while lying down, leaving only a floor lamp beside the sofa.
The dim warm yellow halo was sprinkled evenly on Xu Jue's blanket, making him look particularly fragile.
Qi Yanjing's complexion was not very good, she wiped the cold sweat from Xu Jue's forehead, and said worriedly: "Why is it still hurting, please call the doctor? Or go directly to the hospital?"
Xu Jue could clearly feel the dull pain in his stomach dissipating gradually, but his body couldn't exert himself. "No need..." He whispered, "It's just a little pain. I vomited it just now, and it's much better now."
Qi Yanjing frowned, "Have you vomited yet?"
"..." Xu Jue's throat rolled, and he blinked, not knowing how to round it.
Seeing such an innocent expression, Qi Yanjing had nothing to do, she could only hold back and pat Xu Yu's waist: "Tell me, why do you have a stomachache."
Xu Jue's eyes lit up and he was about to speak, and the strength in his waist increased. Qi Yanjing's tone was a little menacing: "You don't need to use excuses like running for a while, and you'll feel better if you don't say a few words."
"..."
This person can guess everything, why not change his career to fortune-telling and become an actor.
Xu Jue thought quickly, but decided to tell the truth: "I drank mineral water during the day."
Qi Yanjing was thoughtful: "One mouthful?"
"..." Xu Jue was hit directly to the point and reluctantly confessed: "A bottle."
Qi Yanjing didn't say a word for a short time, she laughed angrily in disbelief, and squeezed his waist heavily: "You are very good, Xu Jue, I spent so much time to nourish your stomach, staring at him every day You eat, is that how you treat yourself?"
He was a little strong, Xu Jue didn't pay attention, he was pinched and let out a soft breath, and bit his lip involuntarily: "Can't you be gentle?"
Qi Yanjing was merciless: "Then you have a long memory."
"You!" Xu Jue was a little annoyed by the strength on his waist, and stared at Qi Yanjing: "Be careful of me no matter how hard you try——I won't promise you, don't forget that you are chasing me now."
Qi Yanjing couldn't help raising his eyebrows when he heard the words, and the corners of his lips curled up, "Really?" He took off his strength and rubbed the place where Xu Jue was pinched, "Then I'm really scared."
The smile on his face was so peaceful that it could be called gentle, there was no sign of "fear" at all, obviously teasing Xu Jue in his palm.
Seeing that the quarrel could not be won, Xu Jue was not reconciled, and lowered his eyes after thinking for a moment.The living room was dimly lit, his long eyelashes drooped, and the light and shadow were enough to cover up all the little thoughts in his eyes, leaving only a fragile and helpless appearance.
"Actually, it's not because of this," his voice softened, and he left Qi Yanjing's arms and shrank back to the sofa, "You are too strong, it makes my stomach hurt..."
Qi Yanjing's expression of ease froze for a moment, remembering that Xu Jue would always bend over and pinch his waist when he was in pain, which meant that his stomach could indeed be involved, and Xu Jue's waist was pitifully thin with big hands, it might be true if he was strong. will make him uncomfortable.
This completely unexpected reason made Qi Yanjing momentarily at a loss, "I... I'm sorry."
Qi Yanjing's voice was still calm, but there was no sign of teasing Xu Jue at all, and he became serious, "I didn't think about it, so I feel uncomfortable again?"
Xu Jue's eyelashes trembled. If the light was bright now, Qi Yanjing might still be able to see his triumphant eyes, but now all he could see was Xu Jue's long eyelashes trembling in grievance.
Qi Yanjing was flustered by Xu Jue's silent and aggrieved appearance, "Is it hard? I'm sorry baby, I was wrong."
A series of worried apologies coaxed Xu Jue to be satisfied, but he still didn't speak immediately, and continued to hang him for a few seconds.
It wasn't until he felt that this person was about to be unable to hold back and rushed to the hospital with his arms, then slowly moved his forehead to Qi Yanjing's shoulder: "It's okay, it's fine, you have to be gentler in the future."
Qi Yanjing's hand that landed on his back again was as light as a feather, and he hugged with lingering fear: "Okay, I won't force myself anymore, why don't I really need to go to the hospital?"
Xu Jue gently raised the corners of his mouth in front of his chest: "I really don't need it, the pain will stop gradually, tomorrow's scene is very important, go to sleep and refresh yourself."
There are only the last two scenes left in the movie. From tomorrow night, we will probably shoot the entire first half of the night. The next day at dawn, we will directly shoot the last scene and then wrap up the whole team.
If we go to the hospital now, it will definitely delay the whole crew. No matter what Qi Yanjing says, Xu Jue is absolutely unwilling to delay by himself.
Seeing that he is indeed in good condition, Qi Yanjing no longer forced himself to hold Xu Jue's shoulder, "Then shall I carry you to the bed?"
Xu Jue nodded slightly.
Qi Yanjing carefully folded the blanket and hugged Xu Jue. Unknowingly, Xu Jue's coquettish nature rose a lot in his heart, to the stage where he couldn't touch it.
Xu Jue was hugged into bed by Qi Yanjing extremely tenderly, and fell into the soft blanket, feeling extremely comfortable. When he looked at Qi Yanjing, he also had a smile in his eyes: "I want to drink hot water."
Qi Yanjing has been in a state of disarming and surrendering since just now, and now she is even more responsive, "Okay, wait for me."
Seeing Qi Yanjing's back disappearing at the door, Xu Jue shrank into the quilt and tossed excitedly, and then lay down obediently when his stomach ached from the lingering pain, only covering his reddish cheeks tightly with the quilt.
His heart was pounding, and he sighed that Qi Yanjing was so easy to control!
Sure enough, soft ones are better than hard ones.
Xu Jue has never truly experienced the great power of "acting like a baby" like he does now.
Qi Yanjing anxiously waited for the water dispenser to boil water in the living room, pinching the glass and turning it around.
Suddenly he stopped, and felt something was wrong with hindsight, and Xu Jue's state began to replay in his mind like a revolving lantern.
Xu Jue was just now... so soft and delicate?
And looking at his medical history, which can be counted on both hands, he never said a word when he was really uncomfortable. There can only be one explanation for his appearance just now - pretending.
Why pretend?Of course, I am afraid of being educated by myself.
Qi Yanjing couldn't help laughing, Xu Jue was... too good at showing weakness.
As for the deliberate and somewhat contrived show of weakness, probably only a lustful fool like himself would be deceived into turning around, even if he speaks loudly, he is afraid of scaring him, let alone education.
"Drip—" The indicator light of the water dispenser is on, and the water is ready.
Qi Yanjing carefully mixed a cup of warm water and brought it into the room.
Xu Jue enjoyed the Queen's treatment for half a minute, was hugged by Qi Yanjing and fed water, gently wiped his mouth with a tissue, and then carefully stuffed into the bed.
He closed his eyes contentedly, said goodnight to Qi Yanjing, thinking that as long as he used his coquettish skills more, he would not walk sideways in front of Qi Yanjing in the future.
Before the first punctuation of the good idea, the cheek was suddenly pinched, it was Qi Yanjing's familiar force of wanting to educate him.
Xu Jue opened his eyes abruptly, his cheeks were pinched and he couldn't speak clearly: "You, what are you doing..."
Qi Yanjing still had the usual gentle smile on her face, but her taste changed after careful consideration, "You know it yourself."
Xu Jue was taken aback for a moment, and a flash of inspiration suddenly came to his mind, and his eyes opened wider. He will never... get lost so soon, right?
There will be a show tomorrow, but Qi Yanjing still saved his strength and didn't leave a mark on Xu Jue's face.
When Xu Jue's eyeballs were rolling and thinking about his words, he bent down, shrouded Xu Jue's whole body under his own shadow, and leaned into his ear to say a word.
Xu Jue's pupils shook violently, his eyes filled with disbelief.
After Qi Yanjing finished speaking, she straightened up, didn't stay long, and returned to the appearance of a gentleman, patted Xu Jue's head: "Sleep, call me or call if you feel uncomfortable at night, I will always turn on the phone."
He turned off the small desk lamp for Xu Jue, picked up the glass beside the bed, turned and left, and gently closed the door.
Xu Jue couldn't recover, he kept staring at the dark door frame, and Qi Yanjing's words echoed in his ears:
"I haven't caught up with you yet, so I just squeezed your face. If you don't take your body seriously in the future, I don't guarantee where you will strike."
Xu Jue shrank back into the bed with a howl, squeezed the quilt and covered his face fiercely, red from the roots of his ears to his neck.
After a while, in the dark room, a muffled roar came from the off-white quilt ball on the bed: "Beast!"
Like the poor ordinary people who only dare to draw circles and curse under the bed under the rule of power.
·
So Xu Jue had a dream of being kneaded everywhere all night, and he still had lingering fears when he woke up.
He got out of bed to wash up, and opened the door, Qi Yanjing was sitting at the dining table with a little wet hair, it looked like he had come back from a morning run and took a shower.There was a bowl of gruel and two steamed buns on the table, Qi Yanjing didn't move, it should be for him.
Xu Jue took the script and walked over to sit down, and took a look at Qi Yanjing: "Aren't you going to eat?"
Qi Yanjing tapped on the phone screen with her fingertips, and raised her eyes when she heard the words: "I have eaten, these are taken out of the thermal bag when I heard you get up, you should try it and it should still be hot."
Seeing that Qi Yanjing didn't continue to talk about what happened last night, Xu Jue heaved a sigh of relief. It's rare that the speed of light would see through the benefits of acting like a baby, which is really a bit embarrassing.
The steamed buns on the plate were small and delicate. Xu Jue picked them up and took a bite. The beef stuffing was at the right temperature and tasted good, but he didn’t have much appetite today. After two mouthfuls, his stomach was full of panic, so he put down the steamed stuffed buns while reading the script. Sip the porridge.
The last few scenes will be finished tomorrow. Even though he has memorized them by heart, Xu Jue still watched the script over and over again, trying to finish the filming in one go without delaying the time.
Qi Yanjing watched him eat badly, and tapped on the table: "Concentrate on eating."
"Oh, good." Xu Jue responded, and took a sip of steamed stuffed bun porridge. After a while, the movements slowed down again, and all their attention was focused on the script.
Seeing that the food was getting cold, Xu Jue porridge hadn't finished half of his porridge, and he hadn't finished eating any big buns. Qi Yanjing had no choice but to forcefully accept his script, and then turned his face back: "Eat first, Let's watch after eating."
The script that was in front of him suddenly disappeared. Xu Jue looked up at Qi Yanjing for a moment in a daze. The man looked very serious, even a little fierce.
Xu Jue pressed his stomach and whispered, "But I'm a little full."
Qi Yanjing's sun jumped twice, and he couldn't believe what he heard, "Are you full?" He brought the porridge bowl in front of Xu Jue, "See for yourself how much you ate!"
This level is about to catch up with the most serious time of Xu Jue's anorexia.
The bang when the porcelain bowl was put back on the marble table made Xu Jue tremble in fright.
Qi Yanjing couldn't stop being annoyed because Xu Jue never liked to eat. This confiscated anger fell into Xu Jue's eyes, and he would be scolded even if he ate a meal early in the morning.
Xu Jue's eyes turned red suddenly, "Can you stop being mean to me all the time!"
Is it because he doesn't want to eat?
He is also very irritable if he can't eat, and he doesn't want to share this broken body, but what can he do?
Always uncomfortable and still being scolded, the backlog of grievances suddenly found an outlet to vent for a while, and Xu Jue lowered his head and tried desperately to hold back his tears.
His eyes turned red, Qi Yanjing was so frightened that he lost all anger, only flustered.
Xu Jue's usual grievances and acting like a spoiled Qi Yanjing are very helpful, but when he is really wronged, Qi Yanjing is a little at a loss.
"Xu Jue?" He put his arm around Xu Jue's shoulder and looked down at his face: "I'm sorry...I..."
Qi Yanjing was very annoyed, and he didn't understand why he couldn't hold back from being fierce to Xu Jue. He slowed down his tone: "I'm sorry, I shouldn't be fierce to you, and I won't in the future."
"Are you sad? It's all my fault, don't cry, don't cry."
Xu Jue's grievances came and went quickly. After the energy passed, he began to reflect on whether he was too hypocritical. After all, he was an adult, how could he only cry to solve problems like a child.
Qi Yanjing is already very good, this time it was because he didn't eat well, if someone else could bear his hypocrisy, it was Qi Yanjing who coaxed him nicely.
Xu Jue sniffed, trying to swallow her tears back: "Don't you despise me? I'm too troublesome..."
"How could it be..." Qi Yanjing hugged Xu Jue into his arms with mixed feelings, without any ambiguous emotions, just pure encouragement and comfort: "You are great, I definitely can't bear so much, I can't eat How uncomfortable, I was too impatient. Obviously the doctor said that you can recuperate slowly and recover, I always hope that you can recover soon, and I can't hold back my emotions, I'm sorry baby. "
Xu Jue shook his head, straightened up from his arms, and wiped his eyes: "I'll eat some more."
"Okay," Qi Yanjing touched his stomach, "Does it still hurt?"
Xu Jue took a sip of the porridge, "It doesn't hurt, it just hurts."
"It's okay," Qi Yanjing rubbed his stomach lightly, "Let's take our time and eat as much as we can, don't be too forceful."
Xu Jue nodded, chewing hard mouthful after mouthful, and finally ate half of it with sweat on his forehead.
Qi Yanjing wiped his sweat for him, and smiled encouragingly: "That's great, let's go, go and wash your face."
Xu Jue got up and walked to the bathroom together, "I want to take a shower, but I can't take a shower at night."
This day's scene will be filmed directly from the evening to the early morning of the next day. Everyone has no time to go back to the hotel. If they don't wash it now, they have to wait until tomorrow after the film is finished. Xu Jue can't stand it.
"Okay, I'll wait for you outside, and go straight to the set after washing."
Xu Jue put away his clothes and went into the bathroom to close the door. Qi Yanjing looked at the frosted glass door for a while, then turned and went back to his room, and called the accompanying doctor.
They didn't need to hang on to Wia when they went out to film this time, and there was no dangerous play. The accompanying doctor only showed Xu Jue's knee once.
Qi Yanjing stood by the window holding the phone with a solemn expression.
"I broke a bone once, and the steel needle was removed not long ago. I was anorexic after taking too much painkillers before, and I recovered a little bit. But yesterday I complained of stomach pain, and today I can't take it anymore..."
"I don't have a stomach problem. I should have caught a cold. I vomited once last night, and it didn't hurt after that..."
"...Half a bowl of porridge and a small steamed bun, it's quite uncomfortable to eat..."
"He didn't take any medicine. He is a little allergic and dare not use it indiscriminately, but now he seems to be in good spirits and has no other discomfort..."
"Okay... Let's drive here, just in case."
The crew provided a caravan for the accompanying doctors, converted it into a small infirmary, and would be on standby on the set for daily filming of slightly dangerous scenes.
The master who drove the car today had asked for leave and would not be there, Qi Yanjing was not at ease, even if he found another master temporarily, he would have to have the car brought over, no matter what, the last scene tomorrow is a bit dangerous.
When Xu Jue and Qi Yanjing went to the set to put on makeup, they saw a modified RV parked at the side, and a doctor in a white coat sitting at the door chatting with the lady on set.
Yan Chongping was confirming the setting, saw the two people and explained a few words to the surroundings, then walked over, took out a pack of cigarettes, handed one to Qi Yanjing and Xu Jue, looked at Xu Jue: "Have you learned it? "
Xu Jue has been slowly learning to smoke since he knew about this scene, and was always choked at first, but later Qi Yanjing taught him a few times to barely learn to smoke.
But his body is actually not suitable for smoking, Qi Yanjing let him try a small sip every time, even though he knows how to do it now, but he is not as easy and neat as Qi Yanjing, and he will choke if he is not careful.
Xu Jue was embarrassed, "I know it, but I'm not proficient."
"It's okay." Yan Chongping was very easy to talk this time.
"It's really annoying that you are smoking, just follow this kid later." He pointed to Qi Yanjing, "In this scene, he has more words and you have less words. He learns, just take a sip, and then it doesn’t matter if you just hold it in your hand.”
As he spoke, he patted Xu Jue's shoulder, solemnly: "Smoking is harmful to your health, don't touch it again when you go back—" Looking at Qi Yanjing: "You are too, don't smoke if you have nothing to do."
Qi Yanjing laughed, holding the unlit cigarette between her fingers, "I didn't smoke at all, I only practiced for filming, eh, I remember the first time I smoked, it was also your film, old Yan, do you think Think how many good young people of Zhengmiaohong you have harmed?"
"Tsk, don't rely on me for everything," Yan Chongping waved his hand and sat down in front of the two of them, without lighting a cigarette in his hand: "You were so considerate at that time, but when the rebellious period came, you wanted to think about it yourself. Smoke it, don't rely on my movies for everything."
Xu Jue heard it interesting, and pursed his lips and laughed.
Seeing him smile, Qi Yanjing felt relieved, and she also made some nonsense with Yan Chongping: "How long did I debut at that time? Brand new, your director Yan's reputation is so famous that I smoke, how can I be reluctant?"
"Mr. Qi, your words are not beautiful," Yan Chongping pretended to be angry, "Did I force you?"
Qi Yanjing burst out laughing, causing everyone to laugh: "I didn't say that."
Xu Jue liked this atmosphere very much, sitting down and chatting like good friends, without any pressure between the director and the actors, Qi Yanjing's presence also made him feel at ease.
"Is it the movie "The Mountain"?" Xu Jue asked.
"Mountain Ridge" is the first film that Qi Yanjing and Yan Chongping collaborated on. It is a niche literary film. The box office in China is not high, but there are many awards. It can be said that it is a milestone work for Qi Yanjing to gain a foothold in the film industry. Li didn't write much about this period, but Xu Jue was very curious.
"Yes," Yan Chongping said, "At that time, he was about the same age as you are now, and his temper was much worse than yours."
"Really?" Xu Jue looked at Qi Yanjing with a smile.
Qi Yanjing shook his head, his hair was disheveled by the sea breeze, and the corner of his mouth was smiling like a hero of a literary film, "Why are you so naive, Xu Jue?" He took a cigarette and lit Yan Chongping, "Don't say anything just because he is the director Believe it all, he made it up, I was very humble when I was a rookie."
"Come on, you," Yan Chongping refused to accept the move, "he was afraid that there would be a lot of opinions on the show. If he was not satisfied here, he would have to change it there. If there is some truth in what he said, I would have kicked this guy out a long time ago. .”
Xu Jue's interest was aroused, and he dragged his ponytail to Yan Chongping's side, "Hahaha, is it true, Director Yan, please tell me more."
"Okay," Yan Chongping also got excited, "Don't look at him smoking and pretending to be very chic now, when he was just learning, he was not as good as you, he got burnt fingers, right here-"
Yan Chongping pointed to the inside of his index finger, "It's just burning here, maybe you can't see it now. I have never figured out why there is a person like him. Don't you know how to move your hand back when the smoke burns? Just stick it He was waiting to be scalded there, so his brain is not very sharp, and he looks like a fish in water now because of all these years of hard work."
When the old embarrassment was revealed, Qi Yanjing couldn't hold back her face: "Shut up, old Yan, it's not as exaggerated as you said, I was just distracted and didn't pay attention at the time."
"Then your god has gone far enough, did you go to the gods in the sky?" Yan Chongping didn't show any sympathy, and continued to share with Xu Jue the little things about Chen Zhima and rotten millet.
"Xiao Jue, let me tell you, the real situation is that he sat in front of the table as soon as he was dazed, staring at the script, with a cigarette in his hand, and then remained motionless. The smoke was burning between his fingers, and he was completely We didn’t feel it, we yelled to regain our senses, the smoke fell and burned a hole in the script.”
As long as Xu Jue thought about it, the stunned Qing Qi Yanjing couldn't stop laughing as if he was almost burned by the smoke.
Qi Yanjing coughed, trying to reverse her image in Xu Jue's heart: "Make it up, make it up!"
"Hey, I don't like it when you say that. I still keep the script you ironed out. I didn't miss the behind-the-scenes footage of that movie, but it doesn't mean I don't have it. It just happened to be recorded." He shot Pat Xu Jue on the shoulder, "Xiao Jue, if you're interested, I'll copy it to you when it's done tomorrow."
Xu Jue's eyes lit up: "Okay!"
Qi Yanjing: "...Yan Chongping!"
Xu Jue didn't have to explore Qi Yanjing's embarrassing things in his early years, but he just found it amazing.
In his world view, Qi Yanjing is always an excellent hero, and his life is only connected with a thin book.
Even though Qi Yanjing said at the time that he had friends, family members, complete life experiences, joys, sorrows, and joys, he didn't feel that he was just a one-sided character, and he didn't feel that his life could be controlled by the simple framework in the book.
But for Xu Jue, apart from being hugged by Qi Yanjing and feeling the warmth of his body, Qi Yanjing is more like a well-designed protagonist in many cases, with strong abilities and a prominent family background, with almost no flaws.
It was the first time Xu Jue heard about Qi Yanjing's past from the perspective of the other party's friend. Although most of it was ridicule, a few words built a completely different image, not so perfect, but very vivid.
It was probably at this moment that Xu Jue really understood what Qi Yanjing said that night.
Is the world in the book that important?He thought he knew Qi Yanjing well after reading the whole book, but how much could he write in a book with hundreds of thousands or even millions of words?
The truly complete Qi Yanjing was pieced together in minutes and seconds that were not mentioned in the book and accumulated blank spaces between the lines.
And those are all very important moments that Xu Jue has never understood, never touched.
"Okay," Yan Chongping got up, "Come on, try to move first, and then walk a few times."
Xu Jue was stopped by the makeup artist to touch up her makeup, and Qi Yanjing and Yan Chongping went to the set first.
"Let's discuss it," Qi Yanjing said in a low voice, "You can choose whatever you want from my calligraphy, painting and wine. Don't give the video to Xu Jue."
Yan Chongping glanced at him, "Your kid wants to know you, but you still want to stop him?"
Qi Yanjing frowned: "Then it's good to know something about it. It's nothing to look at some embarrassing things. Don't refuse me when the time comes."
Yan Chongping sighed again and again: "You have all those brilliant things on the Internet and still need to find them? No wonder you are [-] years old and don't have a wife. You can't save face and talk about love?"
"Yan Jing, I heard a piece of advice from someone who came over," Yan Chongping said earnestly, "It is impossible to have only good things in life. The past that you feel ashamed of is also very precious in the eyes of your lover. If he doesn't like you because of some embarrassing things, it means that he originally I don't like you."
Qi Yanjing was startled.
Yan Chongping also said: "No matter how romantic you are when you are in love, in the end it is not two people who live together. When my wife was in love, she refused to see me without a single eyelash. Now she can go without washing her face in front of me. You Don't tell me, I really don't see any difference from wearing makeup, maybe her technique is too poor."
"So you think, do you dislike Xu Jue because he always eats in a daze? I think you like it so much, you can't wait to feed him directly." He lit the cigarette and looked at Qi Yanjing, "It's the same if you change it. of."
"How can anyone be perfect every moment? Robots still have program failures, not to mention your embarrassing incident is nothing at all, it's almost a little fun."
After Yan Chongping finished speaking, he stopped looking at Qi Yanjing, and went forward to greet the field workers who moved things.
Qi Yanjing stayed on the spot alone and fell into deep thought.
He was not interested in dating in the first 30 years of his life, and finally found someone he likes in the 30th year of No. [-], so he always felt that he must use a perfect image and a strong attitude to protect the other party, but it turns out that two people also need to have a relationship Are there advances and retreats?
Xu Jue is very good at advancing and retreating, and controls himself by cleverly showing weakness.
He felt that showing weakness and acting like a baby was Xu Jue's prerogative, and it was very smart for weak people to turn their vulnerability into a weapon to protect themselves, and he was willing to walk into Xu Jue's trap.
But when it comes to himself, Qi Yanjing doesn't want to let Xu Jue see any bad things about him, even if it's something like smoking and burning his fingers.
Now it seems that he doesn't know anything about Xu Jue's past, and Xu Jue doesn't fully understand everything about him. They really still have a lot to work on.
·
The preparations for the set were carried out in an orderly manner, the sky was getting dark, the sea water was slapping the shore and rolling up the waves, and the watchtower in the distance cast a beam of light from time to time, and then drifted away in the sea breeze.
Xu Jue and Qi Yanjing came to the pier by the sea together. In front of them was the churning sea water. If they took a few steps forward, the waves on the shore could be photographed wet their trousers.
This is the penultimate scene of the whole movie. The dust has settled in the plot, and everything is going according to the plan of the protagonist Cheng Xiaowu. Those who hurt them are sentenced to death and executed on the same day.
The police officer Sheng Yang played by Qi Yanjing used various details to infer the truth of the incident, but he couldn't find any evidence to prove it. The day before the execution, he found Cheng Xiaowu, and the two had a conversation by the sea.
Xu Jue left the edge of the pier where his trousers would get wet, and sat down on the cardboard boxes stacked behind him. Qi Yanjing stood beside him, the actors took their positions, the lights were in place, and the scene was played.
At night, the sea breeze was lingering, Qi Yanjing stood wearing a dusty jacket with pockets, and the street lamps clearly reflected his facial features.But Xu Jue, who was one step away from him, was completely in the shadows.
"The deceased is your uncle. The person who killed your uncle will be executed tomorrow. Don't you seem very happy?" Qi Yanjing said casually like chattering.
Xu Jue was holding a few pieces of grass that he didn't know where he tore, and he was weaving something back and forth, without raising his head when he heard the words: "Do I look unhappy?"
Qi Yanjing nodded, "Not only unhappy, but even quite depressed."
Xu Jue paused with his hands, but still didn't look up, and Qi Yanjing didn't care either.
He turned around and took two steps forward, standing on the edge of the pier, the sea was within easy reach.
"After so many days of investigation, I have a little idea. I said, listen, don't laugh at bad words."
Xu Jue didn't answer, so he spoke on his own.
"The murder weapon was a Swiss Army knife. A wave of tourist groups came to play two years ago. When they left, they wholesaled this kind of knife as a souvenir. So there was only one left in the whole pier, and no store bought it in the next two years. The last one It was sold cheaply to Du Huaqiang, the murderer in this case, two months ago, and the knife was left at the scene of the crime, which became the key evidence in the case."
"Du Huaqiang came to work on the dock three months ago, and had frequent quarrels with your uncle. Everyone knows that they have a bad relationship."
With his back turned to Xu Jue, Xu Jue glanced at his straight back, then slowly lowered his head.
"Do you think there will be such a person who has enmity with Du Huaqiang and your uncle. Soon after Du Huaqiang arrived at the pier, he started planning. He first approached the little wandering beggar, because the pier he built for himself was very close to the pier. You can clearly see the daily work of those two people without being noticed."
"After thoroughly understanding the contradiction between the two, you only need to provoke them a little when the time is right. It is easy for the two to fight if they have a bad temper."
"Du Huaqiang drank alcohol on the night of the incident, and that person managed to get the Swiss Army Knife that Du Huaqiang had been carrying all the time. He knew that Du Huaqiang liked little boys, and he also entangled a certain little boy on the pier, so he released it on purpose. Children's Channel, after Du Huaqiang left work. He needs to pass through the alley behind the warehouse where he lives. From the window, he can clearly see everyone who comes in, and he can also see Du Huaqiang fighting angrily. Yours uncle."
He turned to look at Xu Jue, and the sea breeze blew the corners of his clothes upside down.
"Du Huaqiang is strong and strong. Although your uncle is fat, he can't fight, and his leg is limped because of an accident. He is not Du Huaqiang's opponent at all. It takes time to beat people half to death and then kill them. You only need to make up for the knife." But it’s very fast. Get out of the house, kill people, and then buy something from a restaurant or clinic, and the alibi will be invincible. What do you think?”
The thing in Xu Jue's hand has already been braided. It is a rabbit, and he gently put it beside him.
He raised his head and looked back at Qi Yanjing, with a smile: "How can there be such a person, you police officers have a rich imagination."
Qi Yanjing came to Xu Jue, "Your uncle was imprisoned 15 years ago on the charge of intentionally hurting others, and was sentenced to six years in prison. Harassing a boy cannot be punished as rape, but only intentionally hurting others.—— And Du Huaqiang, not long after he arrived at the pier, he hurt your younger brother Cheng Xiaoshuang who was dependent on you."
He looked deeply at Xu Jue, "Six years is really too short, you still haven't had time to grow up."
Xu Jue returned with eyes as calm as a deep pool: "Do you want to say that person is me?"
Qi Yanjing shook her head: "I'm just sorry, as a policeman, I couldn't protect you from harm, and I couldn't stop that person from hurting himself again."
Xu Jue's eyes trembled slightly, and then he lowered his head deeply.He took out a pack of cigarettes and a lighter from his pocket, gave one to Qi Yanjing, and shouted the cigarette in his mouth, but the wind at the seaside was too strong, and the fire failed to ignite several times.
Seeing that Yan Chongping was about to call out if this went on, Qi Yanjing stretched out his hands in front of Xu Jue, "Come on."
With Qi Yanjing's palm blocking the wind, Xu Jue quickly lit a cigarette, "Thank you."
Qi Yanjing squatted down in front of Xu Jue, and touched his cigarette butt to his, sparks collided and ignited.
Xu Jue took a deep breath, and the smoke ring he exhaled made his facial features hazy.
After taking this sip, he didn't continue, looking aimlessly at the dark sea.
Qi Yanjing thought he would explain, even tell, but he didn't say a word.
It wasn't until the cigarette in his hand was about to burn out that his eyes turned away from the receding tide and fell on Qi Yanjing's face.
Xu Jue's eyes were reddish, and there was despair and pain in his calm eyes.
"I was just thinking..." His voice was slightly hoarse, "Xiao Shuang is only ten years old."
"He started school later than others, six years, and he didn't even go to high school. Just thinking about it makes me..."
I had to kill him.
I don't want him to live in the shadows forever like me.
I can't go on talking here, and I can't go on talking.
He turned his eyes away from Qi Yanjing's face again, and turned to the vast sea, as if only there was a world where he could embrace him without malice.
"Card--!"
"Very well, come back and have a rest!"
Yan Chongping yelled in the distance with a loudspeaker, Zhang Chang quickly hugged the down jacket and put it on Xu Jue.
Xu Jue's whole body became stiff from sitting in the cold wind for too long, and with Qi Yanjing's support, he could barely stand up and move his limbs.
"Are you okay?" Qi Yanjing played quickly, looking at Xu Jue with a little worry.
Xu Jue changed his acting method in the later stage, and instead of being proficient in using skills, he completely substituted himself and completely regarded himself as the character himself.
He took several deep breaths repeatedly, tried to adjust for a long while, and only managed to slow down a little when he returned to the rest shed, and smiled at Qi Yanjing: "It's okay."
The two had a short rest, and in the second half of the night, they changed the scene to several cameras to shoot, and it was almost four o'clock in the morning when it ended.
The last scene that follows is Xu Jue's solo scene, which needs to be filmed at dawn. If you go back to the hotel at this time, you may have to rush back to the set before you even have time to take a shower.
The field worker set up a tent on the spot, and asked Xu Jue to rest in it for a while, and then start shooting directly.
Xu Jue huddled in the tent with the hot water bottle in his arms, but his body couldn't warm up. He kept shaking and couldn't fall asleep for a second.
Before dawn, he changed into a snow-white shirt, put on a down jacket and stood by the pier last night, ready to start shooting.
This scene is as simple as jumping into the sea.
When Yan Chongping was talking about moving, he was hesitant about whether to really dance. Of course, the real dance would be much better according to the shooting effect, but Xu Jue's body might not be able to bear it.
"It's okay, let's dance." Xu Jue's lips were purple from the cold all night, shivering beside Qi Yanjing, with ice cubes in his mouth in order not to get angry later.
Yan Chongping looked serious: "You have to make sure whether your body can bear it. For us, no matter how good a movie is, it is not as important as the actor himself."
Xu Jue thought for a while and said, "I remember seeing the storyboard of this scene at the beginning, and there was a picture of the main character slowly disappearing on the sea..."
With ice in his mouth, he said each word very slowly: "I thought this paragraph was very shocking at the time. It's a pity to remove it. Anyway, the doctor's car is here today, and the accident can be saved."
"Xu Jue." Qi Yanjing looked at him with a frown, not liking to hear such unlucky words.
Xu Jue smiled at him in relief.
In these aspects, Xu Jue and Qi Yanjing are actually very similar. They both have the ultimate pursuit of the filming effect of the movie. In order to achieve a satisfactory level, they can completely ignore themselves.
"Listen to him." Qi Yanjing said to Yan Chongping.
Yan Chongping wanted to know that he couldn't beat him
The dim warm yellow halo was sprinkled evenly on Xu Jue's blanket, making him look particularly fragile.
Qi Yanjing's complexion was not very good, she wiped the cold sweat from Xu Jue's forehead, and said worriedly: "Why is it still hurting, please call the doctor? Or go directly to the hospital?"
Xu Jue could clearly feel the dull pain in his stomach dissipating gradually, but his body couldn't exert himself. "No need..." He whispered, "It's just a little pain. I vomited it just now, and it's much better now."
Qi Yanjing frowned, "Have you vomited yet?"
"..." Xu Jue's throat rolled, and he blinked, not knowing how to round it.
Seeing such an innocent expression, Qi Yanjing had nothing to do, she could only hold back and pat Xu Yu's waist: "Tell me, why do you have a stomachache."
Xu Jue's eyes lit up and he was about to speak, and the strength in his waist increased. Qi Yanjing's tone was a little menacing: "You don't need to use excuses like running for a while, and you'll feel better if you don't say a few words."
"..."
This person can guess everything, why not change his career to fortune-telling and become an actor.
Xu Jue thought quickly, but decided to tell the truth: "I drank mineral water during the day."
Qi Yanjing was thoughtful: "One mouthful?"
"..." Xu Jue was hit directly to the point and reluctantly confessed: "A bottle."
Qi Yanjing didn't say a word for a short time, she laughed angrily in disbelief, and squeezed his waist heavily: "You are very good, Xu Jue, I spent so much time to nourish your stomach, staring at him every day You eat, is that how you treat yourself?"
He was a little strong, Xu Jue didn't pay attention, he was pinched and let out a soft breath, and bit his lip involuntarily: "Can't you be gentle?"
Qi Yanjing was merciless: "Then you have a long memory."
"You!" Xu Jue was a little annoyed by the strength on his waist, and stared at Qi Yanjing: "Be careful of me no matter how hard you try——I won't promise you, don't forget that you are chasing me now."
Qi Yanjing couldn't help raising his eyebrows when he heard the words, and the corners of his lips curled up, "Really?" He took off his strength and rubbed the place where Xu Jue was pinched, "Then I'm really scared."
The smile on his face was so peaceful that it could be called gentle, there was no sign of "fear" at all, obviously teasing Xu Jue in his palm.
Seeing that the quarrel could not be won, Xu Jue was not reconciled, and lowered his eyes after thinking for a moment.The living room was dimly lit, his long eyelashes drooped, and the light and shadow were enough to cover up all the little thoughts in his eyes, leaving only a fragile and helpless appearance.
"Actually, it's not because of this," his voice softened, and he left Qi Yanjing's arms and shrank back to the sofa, "You are too strong, it makes my stomach hurt..."
Qi Yanjing's expression of ease froze for a moment, remembering that Xu Jue would always bend over and pinch his waist when he was in pain, which meant that his stomach could indeed be involved, and Xu Jue's waist was pitifully thin with big hands, it might be true if he was strong. will make him uncomfortable.
This completely unexpected reason made Qi Yanjing momentarily at a loss, "I... I'm sorry."
Qi Yanjing's voice was still calm, but there was no sign of teasing Xu Jue at all, and he became serious, "I didn't think about it, so I feel uncomfortable again?"
Xu Jue's eyelashes trembled. If the light was bright now, Qi Yanjing might still be able to see his triumphant eyes, but now all he could see was Xu Jue's long eyelashes trembling in grievance.
Qi Yanjing was flustered by Xu Jue's silent and aggrieved appearance, "Is it hard? I'm sorry baby, I was wrong."
A series of worried apologies coaxed Xu Jue to be satisfied, but he still didn't speak immediately, and continued to hang him for a few seconds.
It wasn't until he felt that this person was about to be unable to hold back and rushed to the hospital with his arms, then slowly moved his forehead to Qi Yanjing's shoulder: "It's okay, it's fine, you have to be gentler in the future."
Qi Yanjing's hand that landed on his back again was as light as a feather, and he hugged with lingering fear: "Okay, I won't force myself anymore, why don't I really need to go to the hospital?"
Xu Jue gently raised the corners of his mouth in front of his chest: "I really don't need it, the pain will stop gradually, tomorrow's scene is very important, go to sleep and refresh yourself."
There are only the last two scenes left in the movie. From tomorrow night, we will probably shoot the entire first half of the night. The next day at dawn, we will directly shoot the last scene and then wrap up the whole team.
If we go to the hospital now, it will definitely delay the whole crew. No matter what Qi Yanjing says, Xu Jue is absolutely unwilling to delay by himself.
Seeing that he is indeed in good condition, Qi Yanjing no longer forced himself to hold Xu Jue's shoulder, "Then shall I carry you to the bed?"
Xu Jue nodded slightly.
Qi Yanjing carefully folded the blanket and hugged Xu Jue. Unknowingly, Xu Jue's coquettish nature rose a lot in his heart, to the stage where he couldn't touch it.
Xu Jue was hugged into bed by Qi Yanjing extremely tenderly, and fell into the soft blanket, feeling extremely comfortable. When he looked at Qi Yanjing, he also had a smile in his eyes: "I want to drink hot water."
Qi Yanjing has been in a state of disarming and surrendering since just now, and now she is even more responsive, "Okay, wait for me."
Seeing Qi Yanjing's back disappearing at the door, Xu Jue shrank into the quilt and tossed excitedly, and then lay down obediently when his stomach ached from the lingering pain, only covering his reddish cheeks tightly with the quilt.
His heart was pounding, and he sighed that Qi Yanjing was so easy to control!
Sure enough, soft ones are better than hard ones.
Xu Jue has never truly experienced the great power of "acting like a baby" like he does now.
Qi Yanjing anxiously waited for the water dispenser to boil water in the living room, pinching the glass and turning it around.
Suddenly he stopped, and felt something was wrong with hindsight, and Xu Jue's state began to replay in his mind like a revolving lantern.
Xu Jue was just now... so soft and delicate?
And looking at his medical history, which can be counted on both hands, he never said a word when he was really uncomfortable. There can only be one explanation for his appearance just now - pretending.
Why pretend?Of course, I am afraid of being educated by myself.
Qi Yanjing couldn't help laughing, Xu Jue was... too good at showing weakness.
As for the deliberate and somewhat contrived show of weakness, probably only a lustful fool like himself would be deceived into turning around, even if he speaks loudly, he is afraid of scaring him, let alone education.
"Drip—" The indicator light of the water dispenser is on, and the water is ready.
Qi Yanjing carefully mixed a cup of warm water and brought it into the room.
Xu Jue enjoyed the Queen's treatment for half a minute, was hugged by Qi Yanjing and fed water, gently wiped his mouth with a tissue, and then carefully stuffed into the bed.
He closed his eyes contentedly, said goodnight to Qi Yanjing, thinking that as long as he used his coquettish skills more, he would not walk sideways in front of Qi Yanjing in the future.
Before the first punctuation of the good idea, the cheek was suddenly pinched, it was Qi Yanjing's familiar force of wanting to educate him.
Xu Jue opened his eyes abruptly, his cheeks were pinched and he couldn't speak clearly: "You, what are you doing..."
Qi Yanjing still had the usual gentle smile on her face, but her taste changed after careful consideration, "You know it yourself."
Xu Jue was taken aback for a moment, and a flash of inspiration suddenly came to his mind, and his eyes opened wider. He will never... get lost so soon, right?
There will be a show tomorrow, but Qi Yanjing still saved his strength and didn't leave a mark on Xu Jue's face.
When Xu Jue's eyeballs were rolling and thinking about his words, he bent down, shrouded Xu Jue's whole body under his own shadow, and leaned into his ear to say a word.
Xu Jue's pupils shook violently, his eyes filled with disbelief.
After Qi Yanjing finished speaking, she straightened up, didn't stay long, and returned to the appearance of a gentleman, patted Xu Jue's head: "Sleep, call me or call if you feel uncomfortable at night, I will always turn on the phone."
He turned off the small desk lamp for Xu Jue, picked up the glass beside the bed, turned and left, and gently closed the door.
Xu Jue couldn't recover, he kept staring at the dark door frame, and Qi Yanjing's words echoed in his ears:
"I haven't caught up with you yet, so I just squeezed your face. If you don't take your body seriously in the future, I don't guarantee where you will strike."
Xu Jue shrank back into the bed with a howl, squeezed the quilt and covered his face fiercely, red from the roots of his ears to his neck.
After a while, in the dark room, a muffled roar came from the off-white quilt ball on the bed: "Beast!"
Like the poor ordinary people who only dare to draw circles and curse under the bed under the rule of power.
·
So Xu Jue had a dream of being kneaded everywhere all night, and he still had lingering fears when he woke up.
He got out of bed to wash up, and opened the door, Qi Yanjing was sitting at the dining table with a little wet hair, it looked like he had come back from a morning run and took a shower.There was a bowl of gruel and two steamed buns on the table, Qi Yanjing didn't move, it should be for him.
Xu Jue took the script and walked over to sit down, and took a look at Qi Yanjing: "Aren't you going to eat?"
Qi Yanjing tapped on the phone screen with her fingertips, and raised her eyes when she heard the words: "I have eaten, these are taken out of the thermal bag when I heard you get up, you should try it and it should still be hot."
Seeing that Qi Yanjing didn't continue to talk about what happened last night, Xu Jue heaved a sigh of relief. It's rare that the speed of light would see through the benefits of acting like a baby, which is really a bit embarrassing.
The steamed buns on the plate were small and delicate. Xu Jue picked them up and took a bite. The beef stuffing was at the right temperature and tasted good, but he didn’t have much appetite today. After two mouthfuls, his stomach was full of panic, so he put down the steamed stuffed buns while reading the script. Sip the porridge.
The last few scenes will be finished tomorrow. Even though he has memorized them by heart, Xu Jue still watched the script over and over again, trying to finish the filming in one go without delaying the time.
Qi Yanjing watched him eat badly, and tapped on the table: "Concentrate on eating."
"Oh, good." Xu Jue responded, and took a sip of steamed stuffed bun porridge. After a while, the movements slowed down again, and all their attention was focused on the script.
Seeing that the food was getting cold, Xu Jue porridge hadn't finished half of his porridge, and he hadn't finished eating any big buns. Qi Yanjing had no choice but to forcefully accept his script, and then turned his face back: "Eat first, Let's watch after eating."
The script that was in front of him suddenly disappeared. Xu Jue looked up at Qi Yanjing for a moment in a daze. The man looked very serious, even a little fierce.
Xu Jue pressed his stomach and whispered, "But I'm a little full."
Qi Yanjing's sun jumped twice, and he couldn't believe what he heard, "Are you full?" He brought the porridge bowl in front of Xu Jue, "See for yourself how much you ate!"
This level is about to catch up with the most serious time of Xu Jue's anorexia.
The bang when the porcelain bowl was put back on the marble table made Xu Jue tremble in fright.
Qi Yanjing couldn't stop being annoyed because Xu Jue never liked to eat. This confiscated anger fell into Xu Jue's eyes, and he would be scolded even if he ate a meal early in the morning.
Xu Jue's eyes turned red suddenly, "Can you stop being mean to me all the time!"
Is it because he doesn't want to eat?
He is also very irritable if he can't eat, and he doesn't want to share this broken body, but what can he do?
Always uncomfortable and still being scolded, the backlog of grievances suddenly found an outlet to vent for a while, and Xu Jue lowered his head and tried desperately to hold back his tears.
His eyes turned red, Qi Yanjing was so frightened that he lost all anger, only flustered.
Xu Jue's usual grievances and acting like a spoiled Qi Yanjing are very helpful, but when he is really wronged, Qi Yanjing is a little at a loss.
"Xu Jue?" He put his arm around Xu Jue's shoulder and looked down at his face: "I'm sorry...I..."
Qi Yanjing was very annoyed, and he didn't understand why he couldn't hold back from being fierce to Xu Jue. He slowed down his tone: "I'm sorry, I shouldn't be fierce to you, and I won't in the future."
"Are you sad? It's all my fault, don't cry, don't cry."
Xu Jue's grievances came and went quickly. After the energy passed, he began to reflect on whether he was too hypocritical. After all, he was an adult, how could he only cry to solve problems like a child.
Qi Yanjing is already very good, this time it was because he didn't eat well, if someone else could bear his hypocrisy, it was Qi Yanjing who coaxed him nicely.
Xu Jue sniffed, trying to swallow her tears back: "Don't you despise me? I'm too troublesome..."
"How could it be..." Qi Yanjing hugged Xu Jue into his arms with mixed feelings, without any ambiguous emotions, just pure encouragement and comfort: "You are great, I definitely can't bear so much, I can't eat How uncomfortable, I was too impatient. Obviously the doctor said that you can recuperate slowly and recover, I always hope that you can recover soon, and I can't hold back my emotions, I'm sorry baby. "
Xu Jue shook his head, straightened up from his arms, and wiped his eyes: "I'll eat some more."
"Okay," Qi Yanjing touched his stomach, "Does it still hurt?"
Xu Jue took a sip of the porridge, "It doesn't hurt, it just hurts."
"It's okay," Qi Yanjing rubbed his stomach lightly, "Let's take our time and eat as much as we can, don't be too forceful."
Xu Jue nodded, chewing hard mouthful after mouthful, and finally ate half of it with sweat on his forehead.
Qi Yanjing wiped his sweat for him, and smiled encouragingly: "That's great, let's go, go and wash your face."
Xu Jue got up and walked to the bathroom together, "I want to take a shower, but I can't take a shower at night."
This day's scene will be filmed directly from the evening to the early morning of the next day. Everyone has no time to go back to the hotel. If they don't wash it now, they have to wait until tomorrow after the film is finished. Xu Jue can't stand it.
"Okay, I'll wait for you outside, and go straight to the set after washing."
Xu Jue put away his clothes and went into the bathroom to close the door. Qi Yanjing looked at the frosted glass door for a while, then turned and went back to his room, and called the accompanying doctor.
They didn't need to hang on to Wia when they went out to film this time, and there was no dangerous play. The accompanying doctor only showed Xu Jue's knee once.
Qi Yanjing stood by the window holding the phone with a solemn expression.
"I broke a bone once, and the steel needle was removed not long ago. I was anorexic after taking too much painkillers before, and I recovered a little bit. But yesterday I complained of stomach pain, and today I can't take it anymore..."
"I don't have a stomach problem. I should have caught a cold. I vomited once last night, and it didn't hurt after that..."
"...Half a bowl of porridge and a small steamed bun, it's quite uncomfortable to eat..."
"He didn't take any medicine. He is a little allergic and dare not use it indiscriminately, but now he seems to be in good spirits and has no other discomfort..."
"Okay... Let's drive here, just in case."
The crew provided a caravan for the accompanying doctors, converted it into a small infirmary, and would be on standby on the set for daily filming of slightly dangerous scenes.
The master who drove the car today had asked for leave and would not be there, Qi Yanjing was not at ease, even if he found another master temporarily, he would have to have the car brought over, no matter what, the last scene tomorrow is a bit dangerous.
When Xu Jue and Qi Yanjing went to the set to put on makeup, they saw a modified RV parked at the side, and a doctor in a white coat sitting at the door chatting with the lady on set.
Yan Chongping was confirming the setting, saw the two people and explained a few words to the surroundings, then walked over, took out a pack of cigarettes, handed one to Qi Yanjing and Xu Jue, looked at Xu Jue: "Have you learned it? "
Xu Jue has been slowly learning to smoke since he knew about this scene, and was always choked at first, but later Qi Yanjing taught him a few times to barely learn to smoke.
But his body is actually not suitable for smoking, Qi Yanjing let him try a small sip every time, even though he knows how to do it now, but he is not as easy and neat as Qi Yanjing, and he will choke if he is not careful.
Xu Jue was embarrassed, "I know it, but I'm not proficient."
"It's okay." Yan Chongping was very easy to talk this time.
"It's really annoying that you are smoking, just follow this kid later." He pointed to Qi Yanjing, "In this scene, he has more words and you have less words. He learns, just take a sip, and then it doesn’t matter if you just hold it in your hand.”
As he spoke, he patted Xu Jue's shoulder, solemnly: "Smoking is harmful to your health, don't touch it again when you go back—" Looking at Qi Yanjing: "You are too, don't smoke if you have nothing to do."
Qi Yanjing laughed, holding the unlit cigarette between her fingers, "I didn't smoke at all, I only practiced for filming, eh, I remember the first time I smoked, it was also your film, old Yan, do you think Think how many good young people of Zhengmiaohong you have harmed?"
"Tsk, don't rely on me for everything," Yan Chongping waved his hand and sat down in front of the two of them, without lighting a cigarette in his hand: "You were so considerate at that time, but when the rebellious period came, you wanted to think about it yourself. Smoke it, don't rely on my movies for everything."
Xu Jue heard it interesting, and pursed his lips and laughed.
Seeing him smile, Qi Yanjing felt relieved, and she also made some nonsense with Yan Chongping: "How long did I debut at that time? Brand new, your director Yan's reputation is so famous that I smoke, how can I be reluctant?"
"Mr. Qi, your words are not beautiful," Yan Chongping pretended to be angry, "Did I force you?"
Qi Yanjing burst out laughing, causing everyone to laugh: "I didn't say that."
Xu Jue liked this atmosphere very much, sitting down and chatting like good friends, without any pressure between the director and the actors, Qi Yanjing's presence also made him feel at ease.
"Is it the movie "The Mountain"?" Xu Jue asked.
"Mountain Ridge" is the first film that Qi Yanjing and Yan Chongping collaborated on. It is a niche literary film. The box office in China is not high, but there are many awards. It can be said that it is a milestone work for Qi Yanjing to gain a foothold in the film industry. Li didn't write much about this period, but Xu Jue was very curious.
"Yes," Yan Chongping said, "At that time, he was about the same age as you are now, and his temper was much worse than yours."
"Really?" Xu Jue looked at Qi Yanjing with a smile.
Qi Yanjing shook his head, his hair was disheveled by the sea breeze, and the corner of his mouth was smiling like a hero of a literary film, "Why are you so naive, Xu Jue?" He took a cigarette and lit Yan Chongping, "Don't say anything just because he is the director Believe it all, he made it up, I was very humble when I was a rookie."
"Come on, you," Yan Chongping refused to accept the move, "he was afraid that there would be a lot of opinions on the show. If he was not satisfied here, he would have to change it there. If there is some truth in what he said, I would have kicked this guy out a long time ago. .”
Xu Jue's interest was aroused, and he dragged his ponytail to Yan Chongping's side, "Hahaha, is it true, Director Yan, please tell me more."
"Okay," Yan Chongping also got excited, "Don't look at him smoking and pretending to be very chic now, when he was just learning, he was not as good as you, he got burnt fingers, right here-"
Yan Chongping pointed to the inside of his index finger, "It's just burning here, maybe you can't see it now. I have never figured out why there is a person like him. Don't you know how to move your hand back when the smoke burns? Just stick it He was waiting to be scalded there, so his brain is not very sharp, and he looks like a fish in water now because of all these years of hard work."
When the old embarrassment was revealed, Qi Yanjing couldn't hold back her face: "Shut up, old Yan, it's not as exaggerated as you said, I was just distracted and didn't pay attention at the time."
"Then your god has gone far enough, did you go to the gods in the sky?" Yan Chongping didn't show any sympathy, and continued to share with Xu Jue the little things about Chen Zhima and rotten millet.
"Xiao Jue, let me tell you, the real situation is that he sat in front of the table as soon as he was dazed, staring at the script, with a cigarette in his hand, and then remained motionless. The smoke was burning between his fingers, and he was completely We didn’t feel it, we yelled to regain our senses, the smoke fell and burned a hole in the script.”
As long as Xu Jue thought about it, the stunned Qing Qi Yanjing couldn't stop laughing as if he was almost burned by the smoke.
Qi Yanjing coughed, trying to reverse her image in Xu Jue's heart: "Make it up, make it up!"
"Hey, I don't like it when you say that. I still keep the script you ironed out. I didn't miss the behind-the-scenes footage of that movie, but it doesn't mean I don't have it. It just happened to be recorded." He shot Pat Xu Jue on the shoulder, "Xiao Jue, if you're interested, I'll copy it to you when it's done tomorrow."
Xu Jue's eyes lit up: "Okay!"
Qi Yanjing: "...Yan Chongping!"
Xu Jue didn't have to explore Qi Yanjing's embarrassing things in his early years, but he just found it amazing.
In his world view, Qi Yanjing is always an excellent hero, and his life is only connected with a thin book.
Even though Qi Yanjing said at the time that he had friends, family members, complete life experiences, joys, sorrows, and joys, he didn't feel that he was just a one-sided character, and he didn't feel that his life could be controlled by the simple framework in the book.
But for Xu Jue, apart from being hugged by Qi Yanjing and feeling the warmth of his body, Qi Yanjing is more like a well-designed protagonist in many cases, with strong abilities and a prominent family background, with almost no flaws.
It was the first time Xu Jue heard about Qi Yanjing's past from the perspective of the other party's friend. Although most of it was ridicule, a few words built a completely different image, not so perfect, but very vivid.
It was probably at this moment that Xu Jue really understood what Qi Yanjing said that night.
Is the world in the book that important?He thought he knew Qi Yanjing well after reading the whole book, but how much could he write in a book with hundreds of thousands or even millions of words?
The truly complete Qi Yanjing was pieced together in minutes and seconds that were not mentioned in the book and accumulated blank spaces between the lines.
And those are all very important moments that Xu Jue has never understood, never touched.
"Okay," Yan Chongping got up, "Come on, try to move first, and then walk a few times."
Xu Jue was stopped by the makeup artist to touch up her makeup, and Qi Yanjing and Yan Chongping went to the set first.
"Let's discuss it," Qi Yanjing said in a low voice, "You can choose whatever you want from my calligraphy, painting and wine. Don't give the video to Xu Jue."
Yan Chongping glanced at him, "Your kid wants to know you, but you still want to stop him?"
Qi Yanjing frowned: "Then it's good to know something about it. It's nothing to look at some embarrassing things. Don't refuse me when the time comes."
Yan Chongping sighed again and again: "You have all those brilliant things on the Internet and still need to find them? No wonder you are [-] years old and don't have a wife. You can't save face and talk about love?"
"Yan Jing, I heard a piece of advice from someone who came over," Yan Chongping said earnestly, "It is impossible to have only good things in life. The past that you feel ashamed of is also very precious in the eyes of your lover. If he doesn't like you because of some embarrassing things, it means that he originally I don't like you."
Qi Yanjing was startled.
Yan Chongping also said: "No matter how romantic you are when you are in love, in the end it is not two people who live together. When my wife was in love, she refused to see me without a single eyelash. Now she can go without washing her face in front of me. You Don't tell me, I really don't see any difference from wearing makeup, maybe her technique is too poor."
"So you think, do you dislike Xu Jue because he always eats in a daze? I think you like it so much, you can't wait to feed him directly." He lit the cigarette and looked at Qi Yanjing, "It's the same if you change it. of."
"How can anyone be perfect every moment? Robots still have program failures, not to mention your embarrassing incident is nothing at all, it's almost a little fun."
After Yan Chongping finished speaking, he stopped looking at Qi Yanjing, and went forward to greet the field workers who moved things.
Qi Yanjing stayed on the spot alone and fell into deep thought.
He was not interested in dating in the first 30 years of his life, and finally found someone he likes in the 30th year of No. [-], so he always felt that he must use a perfect image and a strong attitude to protect the other party, but it turns out that two people also need to have a relationship Are there advances and retreats?
Xu Jue is very good at advancing and retreating, and controls himself by cleverly showing weakness.
He felt that showing weakness and acting like a baby was Xu Jue's prerogative, and it was very smart for weak people to turn their vulnerability into a weapon to protect themselves, and he was willing to walk into Xu Jue's trap.
But when it comes to himself, Qi Yanjing doesn't want to let Xu Jue see any bad things about him, even if it's something like smoking and burning his fingers.
Now it seems that he doesn't know anything about Xu Jue's past, and Xu Jue doesn't fully understand everything about him. They really still have a lot to work on.
·
The preparations for the set were carried out in an orderly manner, the sky was getting dark, the sea water was slapping the shore and rolling up the waves, and the watchtower in the distance cast a beam of light from time to time, and then drifted away in the sea breeze.
Xu Jue and Qi Yanjing came to the pier by the sea together. In front of them was the churning sea water. If they took a few steps forward, the waves on the shore could be photographed wet their trousers.
This is the penultimate scene of the whole movie. The dust has settled in the plot, and everything is going according to the plan of the protagonist Cheng Xiaowu. Those who hurt them are sentenced to death and executed on the same day.
The police officer Sheng Yang played by Qi Yanjing used various details to infer the truth of the incident, but he couldn't find any evidence to prove it. The day before the execution, he found Cheng Xiaowu, and the two had a conversation by the sea.
Xu Jue left the edge of the pier where his trousers would get wet, and sat down on the cardboard boxes stacked behind him. Qi Yanjing stood beside him, the actors took their positions, the lights were in place, and the scene was played.
At night, the sea breeze was lingering, Qi Yanjing stood wearing a dusty jacket with pockets, and the street lamps clearly reflected his facial features.But Xu Jue, who was one step away from him, was completely in the shadows.
"The deceased is your uncle. The person who killed your uncle will be executed tomorrow. Don't you seem very happy?" Qi Yanjing said casually like chattering.
Xu Jue was holding a few pieces of grass that he didn't know where he tore, and he was weaving something back and forth, without raising his head when he heard the words: "Do I look unhappy?"
Qi Yanjing nodded, "Not only unhappy, but even quite depressed."
Xu Jue paused with his hands, but still didn't look up, and Qi Yanjing didn't care either.
He turned around and took two steps forward, standing on the edge of the pier, the sea was within easy reach.
"After so many days of investigation, I have a little idea. I said, listen, don't laugh at bad words."
Xu Jue didn't answer, so he spoke on his own.
"The murder weapon was a Swiss Army knife. A wave of tourist groups came to play two years ago. When they left, they wholesaled this kind of knife as a souvenir. So there was only one left in the whole pier, and no store bought it in the next two years. The last one It was sold cheaply to Du Huaqiang, the murderer in this case, two months ago, and the knife was left at the scene of the crime, which became the key evidence in the case."
"Du Huaqiang came to work on the dock three months ago, and had frequent quarrels with your uncle. Everyone knows that they have a bad relationship."
With his back turned to Xu Jue, Xu Jue glanced at his straight back, then slowly lowered his head.
"Do you think there will be such a person who has enmity with Du Huaqiang and your uncle. Soon after Du Huaqiang arrived at the pier, he started planning. He first approached the little wandering beggar, because the pier he built for himself was very close to the pier. You can clearly see the daily work of those two people without being noticed."
"After thoroughly understanding the contradiction between the two, you only need to provoke them a little when the time is right. It is easy for the two to fight if they have a bad temper."
"Du Huaqiang drank alcohol on the night of the incident, and that person managed to get the Swiss Army Knife that Du Huaqiang had been carrying all the time. He knew that Du Huaqiang liked little boys, and he also entangled a certain little boy on the pier, so he released it on purpose. Children's Channel, after Du Huaqiang left work. He needs to pass through the alley behind the warehouse where he lives. From the window, he can clearly see everyone who comes in, and he can also see Du Huaqiang fighting angrily. Yours uncle."
He turned to look at Xu Jue, and the sea breeze blew the corners of his clothes upside down.
"Du Huaqiang is strong and strong. Although your uncle is fat, he can't fight, and his leg is limped because of an accident. He is not Du Huaqiang's opponent at all. It takes time to beat people half to death and then kill them. You only need to make up for the knife." But it’s very fast. Get out of the house, kill people, and then buy something from a restaurant or clinic, and the alibi will be invincible. What do you think?”
The thing in Xu Jue's hand has already been braided. It is a rabbit, and he gently put it beside him.
He raised his head and looked back at Qi Yanjing, with a smile: "How can there be such a person, you police officers have a rich imagination."
Qi Yanjing came to Xu Jue, "Your uncle was imprisoned 15 years ago on the charge of intentionally hurting others, and was sentenced to six years in prison. Harassing a boy cannot be punished as rape, but only intentionally hurting others.—— And Du Huaqiang, not long after he arrived at the pier, he hurt your younger brother Cheng Xiaoshuang who was dependent on you."
He looked deeply at Xu Jue, "Six years is really too short, you still haven't had time to grow up."
Xu Jue returned with eyes as calm as a deep pool: "Do you want to say that person is me?"
Qi Yanjing shook her head: "I'm just sorry, as a policeman, I couldn't protect you from harm, and I couldn't stop that person from hurting himself again."
Xu Jue's eyes trembled slightly, and then he lowered his head deeply.He took out a pack of cigarettes and a lighter from his pocket, gave one to Qi Yanjing, and shouted the cigarette in his mouth, but the wind at the seaside was too strong, and the fire failed to ignite several times.
Seeing that Yan Chongping was about to call out if this went on, Qi Yanjing stretched out his hands in front of Xu Jue, "Come on."
With Qi Yanjing's palm blocking the wind, Xu Jue quickly lit a cigarette, "Thank you."
Qi Yanjing squatted down in front of Xu Jue, and touched his cigarette butt to his, sparks collided and ignited.
Xu Jue took a deep breath, and the smoke ring he exhaled made his facial features hazy.
After taking this sip, he didn't continue, looking aimlessly at the dark sea.
Qi Yanjing thought he would explain, even tell, but he didn't say a word.
It wasn't until the cigarette in his hand was about to burn out that his eyes turned away from the receding tide and fell on Qi Yanjing's face.
Xu Jue's eyes were reddish, and there was despair and pain in his calm eyes.
"I was just thinking..." His voice was slightly hoarse, "Xiao Shuang is only ten years old."
"He started school later than others, six years, and he didn't even go to high school. Just thinking about it makes me..."
I had to kill him.
I don't want him to live in the shadows forever like me.
I can't go on talking here, and I can't go on talking.
He turned his eyes away from Qi Yanjing's face again, and turned to the vast sea, as if only there was a world where he could embrace him without malice.
"Card--!"
"Very well, come back and have a rest!"
Yan Chongping yelled in the distance with a loudspeaker, Zhang Chang quickly hugged the down jacket and put it on Xu Jue.
Xu Jue's whole body became stiff from sitting in the cold wind for too long, and with Qi Yanjing's support, he could barely stand up and move his limbs.
"Are you okay?" Qi Yanjing played quickly, looking at Xu Jue with a little worry.
Xu Jue changed his acting method in the later stage, and instead of being proficient in using skills, he completely substituted himself and completely regarded himself as the character himself.
He took several deep breaths repeatedly, tried to adjust for a long while, and only managed to slow down a little when he returned to the rest shed, and smiled at Qi Yanjing: "It's okay."
The two had a short rest, and in the second half of the night, they changed the scene to several cameras to shoot, and it was almost four o'clock in the morning when it ended.
The last scene that follows is Xu Jue's solo scene, which needs to be filmed at dawn. If you go back to the hotel at this time, you may have to rush back to the set before you even have time to take a shower.
The field worker set up a tent on the spot, and asked Xu Jue to rest in it for a while, and then start shooting directly.
Xu Jue huddled in the tent with the hot water bottle in his arms, but his body couldn't warm up. He kept shaking and couldn't fall asleep for a second.
Before dawn, he changed into a snow-white shirt, put on a down jacket and stood by the pier last night, ready to start shooting.
This scene is as simple as jumping into the sea.
When Yan Chongping was talking about moving, he was hesitant about whether to really dance. Of course, the real dance would be much better according to the shooting effect, but Xu Jue's body might not be able to bear it.
"It's okay, let's dance." Xu Jue's lips were purple from the cold all night, shivering beside Qi Yanjing, with ice cubes in his mouth in order not to get angry later.
Yan Chongping looked serious: "You have to make sure whether your body can bear it. For us, no matter how good a movie is, it is not as important as the actor himself."
Xu Jue thought for a while and said, "I remember seeing the storyboard of this scene at the beginning, and there was a picture of the main character slowly disappearing on the sea..."
With ice in his mouth, he said each word very slowly: "I thought this paragraph was very shocking at the time. It's a pity to remove it. Anyway, the doctor's car is here today, and the accident can be saved."
"Xu Jue." Qi Yanjing looked at him with a frown, not liking to hear such unlucky words.
Xu Jue smiled at him in relief.
In these aspects, Xu Jue and Qi Yanjing are actually very similar. They both have the ultimate pursuit of the filming effect of the movie. In order to achieve a satisfactory level, they can completely ignore themselves.
"Listen to him." Qi Yanjing said to Yan Chongping.
Yan Chongping wanted to know that he couldn't beat him
