Chapter 24 Rejection

Three days later, Chen Ning received another WeChat message from Gu Zichuan.

Simply saying, "Did you move out?" Chen Ning pinched the phone and looked around for a moment, it was indeed the case.

As soon as he returned to China, he dragged Ruan Xiaocheng to clear out his belongings from the apartment of the two of them, clothes, shoes, scripts, books... As for those things that are not clear, they can be said to belong to him or to others. It was passed down by Gu Zi, so Chen Ning didn't want any of it, and kept everything.

This house is an apartment that his parents bought for him.East Third Ring Road, 120 square meters, two bedrooms and two living rooms, the community is very green, and the transportation is convenient. Chen Ning thought it was expensive when he bought it, and he has never been here twice. He always wanted to rent out the house, but he didn't In a few years, he will be eager to move here.

The house has not been lived in for a long time, and Chen Ning moved here for two days, cleaning every day.He had just finished cleaning the toilet, and Ruan Xiaocheng received this message after he went to buy a router but didn't come back.

He read it many times for a short one.

He didn't intend to reply, but stared at the chat interface in a daze.The background of their chat was a photo taken by Chen Ning in Africa. Gu Zichuan held up his camera, stood under a tree, and took a picture of a giraffe in the distance.

There was a knock on the door, Chen Ning turned off his phone and opened the door, Ruan Xiaocheng stood outside the door with a big bag in his hand, "Brother Ning, I'm back!"

Chen Ning turned sideways to let Ruan Xiaocheng in. The big fat man was sweating in the cold spring of March. He took the router and manual and ran to the corner of the living room to fiddle.

"Ruan Ruan, I will join the group tomorrow, so don't follow me." Chen Ning went to the refrigerator to get a bottle of mineral water and handed it to Ruan Xiaocheng.

Ruan Xiaocheng took the water and took a big gulp, "Why?"

Chen Ning crossed his arms: "Actually, Director Gu hired you at the beginning... I don't think he has any suitable helpers. If you want to follow him, I..."

Ruan Xiaocheng interrupted Chen Ning excitedly: "Brother Ning, I'm not going anywhere!" He half-installed the router and stood up holding the white plastic box, "Why should I follow Director Gu? I, I, I are you Assistant! You can't, you can't... I'll follow you!"

Ruan Xiaocheng couldn't speak clearly when he got excited. At the beginning, Gu Zichuan thought that this man was not smart enough. It was Chen Ning who liked him to be honest and not a monster, so he kept Ruan Xiaocheng.Chen Ning knew what Ruan Xiaocheng wanted to say. When he moved, Ruan Xiaocheng accompanied him, holding up the things one by one and asking, "Brother Ning, do you take this away? Shall we take this?" Then he shook his head over and over again, saying no, no ,stay.Ruan Xiaocheng was afraid that he would also become someone who didn't know who he belonged to. It could be his or Gu Zichuan's, so Chen Ning didn't want it and left him to Gu Zichuan.

Seeing that Chen Ning didn't speak, the fat man almost crushed the router: "Brother Ning, I'll follow you, can't I?"

When Ruan Xiaocheng went to pick him up at the airport, his eyes were so red that he seemed to be breaking up with him, but the child didn't say anything or ask anything along the way.

Chen Ning thought that there must be someone who knows the basics by his side, so he left Ruan Xiaocheng behind.

Two days later, Chen Ning returned to the crew of "The Human Heart Is Not Ancient" and made up three weeks of filming.

Xiao Lele's character, Yu Zicheng, has found a newcomer, Cen Lu, who just graduated from the Central Opera, and is talking to Chen Ning about his seniors.The little girl wanted to play against Chen Ning when she had nothing to do, but Chen Ning had nothing to do, so she let her.A week after joining the group, Zicheng organized a press meeting, which was not only for publicity in the early stage, but also to catch up with Xiao Lele.

On that day, Chen Ning was still wearing a costume, and Yu Zicheng drove him to a large group of long | guns and short guns for an interview.This group of reporters were all smart people. When they saw Chen Ning, they seemed to be holding back the big news, and spoke one after another.Chen Ning heard the words "magazine" and "Gu Zizhuan" in a trance, and was at a loss for a while, so Zicheng helped him smooth things over, "In my crew, I dare to ask questions about other films, are there any rules? "When the reporters heard the words, they all laughed together and asked questions related to "The Human Heart Is Not Ancient".

Cen Lu was a newcomer, and was encouraged to speak, so she kept saying good things about Chen Ning.Standing aside, Chen Ning listened to the little girl recounting every detail of how he acted for her. His head was so big that it was not easy to interrupt, so he answered some innocuous questions in a perfunctory manner.

Sure enough, within two days, the manuscripts were overwhelming, all of which were "Chen Ning was praised for his careful teaching of newcomers, Cen Lu: "The senior helped me to be considerate of the play"", with a picture When Cen Lu answered the question, Chen Ning listened sideways Gentleman look.

Chen Ning doesn't have a public relations team, so he can only worry about the news.He sat in the dressing room and sighed. When he didn't respond, the door of the dressing room rang again, "Senior, are you there?"

The little junior sister came to play with him again.Chen Ning rubbed his brows, glanced at Ruan Xiaocheng, the fat man understood, and went out to help him.

He didn't want to provoke these things, and after Xiao Lele's time passed, he was even more frightened. Cen Lu was frightened by Ruan Xiaocheng, and she didn't dare to pester Chen Ning anymore, but those remarks on the Internet would not be because of the indifference of the master But the flags died down, and the gossip about Cen Lu and Chen Ning took a full week to die down.

Another week, he asked for leave from the crew to attend the premiere of "Wild" in China.Gu Zichuan never liked the publicity strategy of running around the country, and this time he won the award, he was too lazy to bother.The premiere was held in Beijing Zhongyi International Cinema, and Chen Ning asked Heather to come over and dress him up.Fireworks are in March, but Beijing is warm and cold. Heather picked out a Margiela color-block sweater for Chen Ning, slightly permed her hair, and put on a little lipstick, making Chen Ning look tender and fresh , as if just stepped out of the university gate.

After seeing Gu Zichuan for [-] days, Chen Ning still trembled when he saw him.Gu Zichuan's hair has grown, and he has grown a beard. His beard stubble covers half of his cheeks. He is wearing a black sweater, which looks like no stranger.

Chen Ning is also a stranger now.He didn't reply to two messages in a row, leaving a room full of memories and walked away. When he saw Gu Zichuan, he had to do his best to pretend to be magnanimous.They didn't say hello, but walked towards one place tacitly. After a few steps, it turned from dark to bright, and the room was full of lights. All the reporters and moviegoers present stood up and applauded. Chen Ning finally felt at ease, showing a gentle and decent smile.

They stood on stage, interacted with the host, and answered questions from reporters.I probably mentioned it in advance, and most of the questions were only about the plot and creation of "Wild", and there was nothing out of the ordinary.

There was only one reporter who stood up and asked Gu Zichuan: "This is the second, no, the third time I have worked with Chen Ning. The record is gratifying. You are already golden partners in everyone's eyes. Then director Gu has an idea for his next movie now." Are you going to challenge newcomers, or are you going to continue working with Chen Ning?"

This question was not very authentic, and the venue was silent for a while, occasionally whispering into Chen Ning's ears.The host seemed to be stunned, and no one answered for a long time, but Chen Ning thought for a moment, took the initiative to pick up the microphone, and made a joke: "Which reporter is this? Go back and find my assistant to get a red envelope. I'm worried about filming appointments."

The pressure suddenly relieved, and the scene burst into laughter immediately.Chen Ning paused, then continued: "You ask Director Gu this question, how will Director Gu answer? The script is out, and you don't plan to invite me. Well, you start writing tomorrow. Chen has no more cooperation, if the script has not come out, if you ask me this, and you want to rack your brains to conjure up a character for me, you are interfering with the director's creation, understand?"

The atmosphere in the audience was very good, this question was turned over, Chen Ning put down the microphone, and naturally, under the camera of the audience, he smiled at Gu Zichuan.

Gu Zichuan was also looking at him, there was probably some emotion in his eyes, but Chen Ning didn't dare to read carefully, he should learn to let go.

After the premiere, Chen Ning went back to the dressing room to take off her makeup, and then went back to the set by car.He made an agreement with You Zicheng to go back at night to shoot a night scene, but just as he walked out of the studio, he was stopped by a boy he didn't know.

Ruan Xiaocheng stood in front of Chen Ning, and the boy shrank a little. He looked very young, and said to Chen Ning through Ruan Xiaocheng, "Ning, brother Ning, are you free now? Director Gu, Director Gu wants to tell you something Son."

"What's the matter, can you tell me?" Chen Ning was wearing a dark suit, only his red lips could be seen, "I have to rush back to the set, and I may not have much time right now."

"I'm not very clear either." The boy lowered his head, "Are you free?"

"No time." Chen Ning didn't know what it felt like, but it seemed much easier to reject Gu Zichuan than he imagined, "Sorry, I'm in a hurry."

After saying this, he ignored the boy and followed Ruan Xiaocheng into his nanny car.

"Brother Ning," Ruan Xiaocheng suddenly said while driving the car, "Do you still remember the magazine you filmed with Director Gu?"

Chen Ning covered his clothes and sat in the back seat in a daze. After hearing the words, he came back to his senses and said slowly: "The one from GQ? If you don't tell me, I'll forget it."

"The magazine came out two weeks ago, and it's said that it sold very well." Ruan Xiaocheng turned a corner and drove on the highway: "The sample magazine is probably sent to Director Gu, do you want to buy a copy?"

"I don't want to." Chen Ning flatly refused: "Why should I make trouble for myself?"

"Really." Ruan Xiaocheng looked forward: "I saw it. The photos are very good, and the article is very moving."

Because the past is beautiful, so moving.

But Chen Ning doesn't want to dwell on the past anymore, his future is still very long, and the time will all belong to him.

"I'm already awake." Chen Ning looked out the window, his voice was very soft, he didn't expect Ruan Xiaocheng to understand, because he said this to himself: "Don't go back to sleep again."
