"Lin Tai, have you made up your mind?"

Lin Tai lowered his head, and in front of him was a mobile phone with only communication functions.No one could see his face, it was like being immersed in a deep pool of water.

Seeing that Lin Tai didn't answer, the captain didn't have much trust in him, and now he was even more suspicious.He winked at the team members, and they slowly stretched out their hands, holding their arms around their waists, holding their breath and concentrating.

Seeing the tense atmosphere, Zhong Zhihong raised his hand to stop the captain.He shook his head heavily.For some reason, he believed from the bottom of his heart that the ruthless young killer in front of him actually had a warm heart.

Several people faced each other in silence.

After a long time, Lin Tai's slow but firm voice sounded: "I've made up my mind."

……

Gu Qiming fell ill early in the morning with a persistent low-grade fever.The whole person was groggy and couldn't get up from the bed.After the other people finished filming the other parts, they have been waiting for Wu Cheng and Jian Xing to discuss and come up with a result.Mu Ning was painting special effects makeup on the set, and was so anxious that he asked Amy Zhao to send WeChat messages every now and then to inquire about Gu Qiming's situation.

Without Gu Qiming, how would he act in this father-son confession scene?

Mu Ning had to admit that he was not as talented and intelligent as he imagined, and Gu Qiming needed to lead the scenes he was not sure about.

"Muning, Muning!"

"Huh? What's wrong?"

"Phone!" Amy shook the phone in front of his eyes.

Mu Ning picked it up, a little uneasy: "Jiayang..."

"Ning Ning! Guess where I am!" Lin Jiayang sounded elated on the phone: "I'm at the Arc de Triomphe! This is my first time in France, but my internet is too bad now, I'll send you a video later..."

Mu Ning could only smile perfunctorily: "Wow, I'll wait for you to post later, I'm a bit busy filming."

"Let me tell you, I have a surprise to tell you."

"What surprise? You returned home early?"

Lin Jiayang was stunned on the other end of the phone. He had indeed booked a flight ticket to return home tomorrow, so he paused for a while and said, "Ah, that's not true. I'd better keep it a secret for now!"

Mu Ning really didn't have time to date Lin Jiayang, so he evaded, "Okay... Jiayang, I'm a little busy right now."

"Isn't it going to be finished soon?"

"It stands to reason that it's going to be finished..." Mu Ning paused, feeling really worried about Gu Qiming, and hurriedly said: "No, I have to hang up first, and I'll call you after the completion." Without waiting for the Lin family to finish speaking Yang answered, hung up the phone, got up and went to the hotel.

"Boss, don't go!" Amy Zhao quickly grabbed his hand, "The filming will start in a while!"

"I'll go and see him," Mu Ning said, "It will take a while for them to push the water truck over."

Amy Zhao didn't stop her, but Wucheng said, "Muning, don't go."

The focus of this scene was on Lin Tai, and the weather was cold and it was a scene in heavy rain. Whether Gu Qiming would fight in Wucheng himself was still unclear.Gu Qiming's illness is also good.

Wu Cheng pushed the substitute to put on the makeup to Mu Ning.Play against each other as early as possible to get familiar with the atmosphere.

Zhong Yizhen was wrapped in a military coat and stood not far from Mu Ning.He stared at the young man coldly alone, as if he could get some information from his frowning.He really didn't like Mu Ning's reckless personality, but he had to admit that this was the quality that Gu Qiming most wanted his students to have.He didn't do it back then, and he almost turned against his mentor, and he still has a grudge in his heart.Can Mu Ning do it right now?Zhong Yizhen was actually waiting to see a joke.

The stand-in is about the same age as Gu Qiming, but compared to Gu Qiming's slender and open minded, this stand-in is stronger and a bit more vicissitudes.Mu Ning chatted with this elder, and learned that he is from Hebei, and his son and daughter-in-law are all working in Beijing. After retirement, he has nothing to do, so he often comes to the film and television base to wait for a chance to be a substitute.I'm too old to do dangerous jobs, and I don't have much money, but I can always kill some time.

Mu Ning chatted with the stand-in without saying a word.He enjoys chatting with "outsiders", which can relax him a bit.

In a blink of an eye, as night fell, news came from Jian Xing that Gu Qiming's fever had subsided.Mu Ning's frown was finally relaxed.

In Beijing in December, if you are exposed to the outdoors for a long time, the cold air will rush into people's collars, cuffs, and reach the whole body.The experienced staff have already started to go through the winter in full gear, and even Mu Ning, who has never been afraid of the cold, can only rely on the warm handbag in his hand to absorb some warmth.The long winter in Beijing has begun.

"Everyone, I'm on standby!"

Hearing this, Mu Ning stood up and took a long, slow, deep breath seriously.He took off his ankle-length down jacket and handed it to Amy, and walked into the set almost resolutely.

The last segment is Lin Tai's one-man show alone.He handed over Cheng Anzhi's location and was exempted by the police.However, a member of the police force once lost his best friend because of Lin Tai's influence. On a sudden thought, he raised his gun and aimed the black muzzle at Lin Tai's temple.Cheng Anzhi's intuition, which emerged from the hail of bullets for many years, was one point faster than Lin Tai's reaction——

The sound of the wind in the cold night was mixed with the sound of rain, and the bullet quickly passed by Lin Tai's ear and sank into Cheng Anzhi's body.

Dark red blood snaked down the rain.

But Mu Ning's brain stopped abruptly at this moment.

The substitute teacher fell to the ground step by step. Mu Ning knelt down mechanically, his knees were deeply immersed in the rain, and he helped the substitute teacher up with his back to the camera.Out of the corner of his eye he could see number two, covered in plastic, advancing along the track toward him.The water was bone-chillingly cold, the costume was attached to the body, and together with the warm pads in the waist and abdomen, the whole body became heavier and heavier.The set was silent.

In this scene, Mu Ning didn't have a few lines.There is only one long shot of more than three minutes.

What Gu Qiming taught, the level of this scene.Mu Ning thought desperately in his heart.He tried to get rid of those complicated images in his mind, and only recalled what Gu Qiming gave him.The curvature of the lips and the echo of the eyes, a few tears should be shed even in the rain, how to use facial muscles and expressions...

……

"cut!"

Amy Zhao had already prepared dry towels and coats beside her. When Wu Cheng gave an order, she rushed up and surrounded Mu Ning.Mu Ning gently pushed Amy Zhao away.

"Be careful of catching a cold." Amy said worriedly.

Mu Ning didn't take the coat handed by Amy, and got up from the ground, water was dripping from the costume, and his feet were so cold that he couldn't feel it.He struggled to walk to the monitor screen, only to see Wu Cheng staring at the screen worriedly, his brows furrowed.

The filming was not good, Mu Ning knew it.Not only Wucheng, this is far from the effect he and Gu Qiming originally expected.

Wu Cheng paused for a moment, and said tactfully: "The status hasn't been found yet, why don't you take a break?"

Mu Ning said, "Try again."

Before the staff got back on their feet, Wucheng quickly opened a second one.However, the second article.The third...the effect is still not getting better.Wu Cheng's expression was even worse.Even some staff began to whisper, although the rain scene is difficult to shoot, everyone is waiting for the finale, if it doesn’t work, it’s the same in the later stage for reshoots in the studio...

How difficult is it to be an actor with no distractions?

The lingering anxiety lingered in Mu Ning's heart. Even Wu Cheng could not approve of his performance, let alone Gu Qiming.But if he continued to shoot one after another, everyone would have to accompany him in the cold winter weather of December.

But the more anxious he was, the more he lost his way.As if in a foggy forest, anxiety and panic swept over, but I couldn't find the exit.

Wu Cheng asked again: "Why don't you take a break first, it's too cold. You can't stay in the rain all the time."

Mu Ning's ten fingers had already been soaked into white skin, and his lips were purple from the cold.The coat that Amy put on in time did not provide him with any warmth.He was shaking all over.

But Mu Ning still didn't answer.

Out of the corner of his eye, he noticed that Zhong Yizhen's eyes drifted from far to near, as if watching his joke.It seems that the child that Gu Qiming maintains and likes is nothing more than that.Although the sarcasm in those eyes was not explicit, it hurt Mu Ning's self-esteem like a sharp knife.

At the time when he played Fu Sheng: a leading actor, an outstanding actress, and a highly anticipated new work by a famous director, but he didn't have any acting experience.He was born out of the sky, like a firework blooming above the silent night sky.

And what did he do then?He used his most sincere and abundant feelings to hand over a perfect answer sheet.

For him like that, he has gradually been covered with dust in the past ten years because he has lost the reason to work hard for it.Zhuang Yao and the director insisted on reusing him at the beginning, and they also suffered a lot of rumors.But Munning finally made them respected, because their vision and choice were right.In the past ten years, he has never found that "Qi" again.But now, the existence of Gu Qiming has become his strength.

Mu Ning said, "Let's do it again."

And this was the last time, but also the first time, that he had a real conversation with Lin Tai.
