Dreamy

The set suddenly fell silent.

Chen Ning's cheeks were flushed, and his lips were trembling. He stood in front of the young actor, like an antelope confronting a lion and bursting into anger. Emotions blinded reason, forgetting the gap between size and strength. Slightly bowed forward, full of aggressive posture.

Gu Zichuan seemed to be stunned, and he didn't speak for a long time, but he was wearing a hat, his facial features were covered with a light shadow by the brim of the hat, and the rest of his skin was covered by a thick beard, making it difficult to see his expression clearly.

Suddenly, he raised his head and glanced at Chen Ning.

Panting heavily, Chen Ning was caught off guard and stared at Gu Zichuan. His eyes were as sharp as a knife, and he stabbed him through the camera and radio.

Chen Ning blinked, and the bulging sour liquid in his chest gushed out along the incision.He seemed to have forgotten everything, and there was only one thought left in his mind-how did he lose so much weight.

The young man behind him was stunned. He didn't know how he had such good luck today. Someone would stand up for him in front of the devil director. After a while, he took Chen Ning's hand: "That...brother, who are you?"

Chen Ning regained his senses and stopped watching Gu Zi's biography.He turned around and touched the little boy's head: "My name is Chen Ning, and your name is Wang Feiwen, right?"

"Yes." Wang Feiwen is 16 years old, but he is not tall, with a baby face full of tears, "Brother Chen Ning," he whispered again: "Thank you."

Wang Feiwen's tears made the wig wet, and Chen Ning raised his hand to straighten it for him. Behind him, Gu Zichuan said, "Have you found a backer? Wang Feiwen, you are a child, and you are also a child at work. You don't want to shoot today After that, no one knows how to get off work, so you can be coquettish here."

In a word, Chen Ning was so angry that he would carry it back again. He turned around and pulled Wang Feiwen behind him: "Gu Zichuan, can't you direct the play well? What are you doing here with such a strange mood?"

No one dared to speak, countless pairs of eyes stared at the confronting two without blinking.

"I'm yin and yang?" Gu Zichuan took off his hat and stroked his hair: "He can't understand what he's talking about. If one person delays the progress of the whole group, what else can I do? I can't even say a few words?"

It seems that he hasn't had a good night's sleep for a long time, and the two black and blue balls are shocking.

Chen Ning didn't know why, but he was not so angry again.He knew Gu Zi's style of conducting plays, and the so-called good speech probably meant pointing out the mistakes of Wang Feiwen's performance without tact.Gu Zichuan hardly knows how to guide actors in the correct way of acting. He can complete a scene with actors mirror by mirror, but commercial films are not like literary films, and the progress is rushed by the day. The style of the play, when there is nowhere to find, probably this is the only way to get angry.

Chen Ning calmed down and his voice became softer.He looked at Gu Zichuan, and said word by word: "What effect do you want, you can talk to Wang Feiwen, if you lose your temper like this, you will be the one who delays the progress of the crew."

Gu Zichuan stopped talking, the script was deformed by him, and he looked so fierce, as if he was about to eat Chen Ning.After a while, he threw the script in his hand towards Chen Ning: "Wang Feiwen doesn't understand what I said, since you want to protect him, then teach him how to act."

Chen Ning staggered to catch the script, and heard Gu Zi's legend: "Page three, scene four."

Gu Zichuan threw down the script and never looked at Chen Ning again. He turned around and walked outside the set, "Everyone rests for three to 10 minutes!"

Gu Zichuan's legacy is still there, even if he leaves the scene temporarily, no one on the set dares to discuss it, each one of them, as if they didn't see anything, continue to do what they should do.Chen Ning was ordered in danger, and he couldn't care about anything for a while. He took advantage of the gap between the makeup artist to touch up Wang Feiwen's makeup, and hurriedly finished reading the scene.

It is a play by Wang Feiwen alone, without the cooperation of other actors, it is indeed more difficult for children to enter the play than usual.Chen Ning is familiar with "Overseas", and he can almost know which plot in the book corresponds to it at a glance. After thinking about it, he roughly listed a few scenes that need to be deliberated in his mind. When the makeup artist left, he took Wang Feiwen to sit The pony on the side is tied up.

At least Wang Feiwen acted in three "Overseas", and the acting was not as unsightly as the legend of Gu Zi.Chen Ning asked Wang Feiwen about his own understanding, made some suggestions, and sorted out the psychological activities of the characters at this time for him. Half an hour passed quickly. Chen Ning finally had a scene with Wang Feiwen. He turned his head and saw Gu Zichuan and sat back. Behind the monitor, he patted the boy on the shoulder and said, "It's very good. Now take it easy and try to pass it!"

Wang Feiwen was in a daze for so long, and now he became a little clearer. He took Chen Ning's hand and asked, "Brother, who are you? Do you know Director Gu?"

"I'm also an actor, come here to play a cameo." Chen Ning smiled and adjusted Wang Feiwen's wrinkled costume. "Guo Dao is my younger brother. We grew up together."

"That's it." Wang Feiwen rolled his eyes up and down, leaned in front of Chen Ning, and muttered in a low voice, "Director Gu has been looking at you just now."

"It's already this time, why don't you join the show?" Chen Ning's heart moved, but he gently slapped Wang Feiwen's hand: "Don't look around, find your emotions quickly, and Director Gu will scold you later, I won't speak for you anymore."

"Wang Feiwen, are you alright?"

"Okay!" Chen Ning shouted for Wang Feiwen, and he finally touched the boy's head: "Come on!"

Chen Ning sat on Wang Feiwen's ponytail and watched Wang Feiwen stand up in front of the camera.

"Meng Xiaohui, nine shots and eleven shots in four games, Action!"

Gu Zichuan sat behind the monitor and put on his hat again. Chen Ning sat on the edge, and he could only see Gu Zichuan's tight jaw.

He should have paid attention to Wang Feiwen, but his eyes wandered, and he couldn't help but wander to Gu Zichuan.They haven't seen each other for almost five months. Gu Zichuan has lost weight, has grown a beard all over his face, and his hair has grown too. It seems that he is too lazy to take care of it.

He is obviously an adult at 25, so he doesn't know how to take care of himself.

Chen Ning sighed, but this has nothing to do with him.

After being instructed by Chen Ning, Wang Feiwen finally withstood the scrutiny of Gu Zichuan's camera.After one shot, Gu Zichuan played it back on the monitor. He panicked and turned to look at Chen Ning. Chen Ning gave him a comforting smile.

"Great!" He gave a thumbs up and said with a mouthful smile, "No problem."

"Let's do it again." Gu Zichuan finally said, "Came from a different angle, and then we can call it a day."

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, Wang Feiwen was so happy that he almost jumped up, he looked at Chen Ning excitedly, but Chen Ning gestured to him to calm him down, then took a few deep breaths to stabilize the sense of drama, Passed one again.

After the filming was finished, Wang Feiwen instantly turned into a pigeon that had been let loose, flapping its wings and flying to Chen Ning, "Brother Chen Ning, you are so amazing!"

At the end of the day's shooting, the staff rushed up one after another to pack up the equipment and tidy up the set, and everyone was busy performing their duties.Across the stream of people, Gu Zichuan sat behind the monitor and watched the replay, with the brim of his hat pulled down, Chen Ning couldn't see anything clearly, but felt a little indescribably uncomfortable.

It's so lonely, not as lonely as you.

"Brother Chen Ning?" Wang Feiwen pulled Chen Ning's hand again, he came back to his senses, and smiled softly: "Huh?"

"Can you..." After all, he was still a 16-year-old boy, and Wang Feiwen felt a little embarrassed about his timidity: "Accompany me to apologize to the director, I... really delayed everyone's work today."

At a young age, he is sensible.Chen Ning nodded with a smile, and followed Wang Feiwen to Gu Zichuan.

Shen Shu had been left behind by him for so long, and now he also jumped out. With his trouser pockets in his pocket, he stabbed behind Gu Zichuan and patted Gu Zichuan's shoulder. Just as he was about to say something, he happened to see Chen Shu. Ning walked over with Wang Feiwen and waved at them.

Children don't quite understand the twists and turns between adults.Wang Feiwen walked up to Gu Zichuan, and apologized politely: "Director, I'm sorry today, I, I will definitely perform better next time."

Gu Zichuan probably also knew that he shouldn't get angry with children, so he looked up at Wang Feiwen, said "um" in a low voice, and then turned his head to look at the monitor again.Shen Shu still had the same smiling face, so he was no longer surprised. He said cordially to Wang Feiwen: "Feiwen is great today. Chen Ning gave me some pointers, and I immediately found the feeling. Next time, just calm down and don't be NGed." Messed up."

They have known each other for a long time since the first "Overseas". Wang Feiwen has always been close to Shen Shu, and now he relaxes a lot. Shen Shu reached out and pinched his dirty face, "Go and remove your makeup, you Mom is still waiting for you. Don't be greedy for fun, do your homework quickly and go to bed, and I won't see you yawning tomorrow."

Only then did Wang Feiwen remember that he was still a freshman in high school, and hurriedly bid farewell to everyone. Before leaving, he looked at Chen Ning with some reluctance: "Brother Chen Ning, are you still here tomorrow?"

Gu Zichuan was in good spirits at the moment, looked away from the monitor, and stared fiercely at Wang Feiwen: "Why, after so many years of acting in a play for nothing, do you still have to teach me personally?"

"No, no!" Wang Feiwen was fine, but now his face turned pale: "I, I didn't mean that. The director is sorry. I, my mother is still waiting for me, so let's go! Ming, see you tomorrow, I Must act well!"

Wang Feiwen, a little pigeon, came like flying, and fled away like flying again.Shen Shu looked at the young man's back in costume, and couldn't help but tapped Gu Zichuan's shoulder, "Director, you're so angry, do you want to introduce you to a doctor?"

Gu Zichuan gave Shen Shu a cold look: "Screenwriter, you are so free all day, why don't you see you holding back the next script?"

Shen Shu rolled his eyes, fuck, who the hell doesn't know that the script can't be written because you, the devil, are making criticisms.He didn't want to talk about Gu Zichuan anymore, turned to Chen Ning and smiled affectionately, and pulled him to his side: "Bao'er, let's go and have a barbecue. I'm useless as a screenwriter. Tomorrow's book director will come out. Let's have a drink." Let's go!"

Hearing this, Gu Zichuan turned his face away again, and didn't even bother to give him a look.

No greetings, no introduction, they are more familiar than anyone else, but unfortunately, they can't even say a word calmly.

Chen Ning suddenly felt aggrieved, but he was the one who wanted to leave, and he was also the one who rushed to confront him, what position did he have? ?

But he is an actor, so Chen Ning smiled, and did not signal to Gu Zichuan, and was led away by Shen Shu.

The entire film and television city was built by Yan Yu for Shen Shu, and it would not be difficult to find a chef to go to the hotel to cook skewers for them, but Shen Shu was particular about the atmosphere, so he insisted on pulling Chen Ning to eat at the barbecue stand.He ordered half a dozen beers, and ordered a bunch of vegetarian dishes such as lotus root, gluten, and green peppers for Chen Ning. He ordered less oil, less salt, and slightly spicy, and ordered a pot of corn porridge to fill Chen Ning's stomach.

Chen Ning was not a person with a bad temper, and he didn't have the heart to care about Shen Shu's little schemes against him this afternoon. He poured half a glass of beer, shook it at Shen Shu, and signaled: "Brother , this time you tricked me."

"It's me, me, it's me!" Without saying a word, Shen Shu drank half a bottle of beer in one breath. He burped, scratched his head, and said, "Actually, you didn't sign the contract. If you don't want to shoot, we After two days of playing, you will leave, and you should just come and see me."

"I will shoot." Chen Ning also took a sip of wine: "We are all adults, and we won't take a detour if we break up. I like this character and want to participate in "Overseas". I won't."

Summer evening breeze, charcoal barbecue, Asahi beer...Chen Ning was wearing a simple white T-shirt, his hair was blown up gently by the wind, he smiled slightly, showing some white teeth, as if he had let go of his hands .

After eating for a while, Yan Yu also came. He changed into a more casual sweatshirt and looked younger by several years.As soon as Yan Yu sat down, Shen Shu put his hand on Yan Yu's thigh, and he asked softly, "Do you want to order something?" After Yan Yu shook his head, he picked out two skewers of delicious food and peeled them off with chopsticks , into Yan Yu's bowl.

Yan Yu patted the back of Shen Shu's hand, but he was not in a hurry to eat. He smiled at Chen Ning and asked, "Is the afternoon going well?"

Chen Ning nodded with a smile, but Shen Shu got excited when he heard this, and began to complain to his man: "Let me tell you, Gu Zichuan really deserves a beating, Fei Wen was made to cry by him today! Fortunately, Chen Ning is here and gave Feiwen guidance, otherwise I think he would have to drag the production crew until ninety o'clock today to call it a day!"

Chen Ning's face was a little stiff, and Shen Shu's accusation actually made him a little uncomfortable.

It's very subtle, he is like a parent who has not raised his child well, his own child, behind closed doors, can say whatever he wants, but when he is blamed, it only makes him restless, wishing to defend Gu Zichuan.

Yan Yu looked at Chen Ning clearly, and touched Shen Shu's ear: "You didn't ask for it at the beginning, but now you are going to retreat?"

"Stop talking, I'm so regretful now that I wish I could drink the water from the Yellow River!" After Shen Shu said this, he drank another sip of wine resentfully, raised his face and said to Chen Ning: "Ning, you don't know, I Having grown up so big, the things I wrote have never been picked on so many thorns!"

Chen Ning couldn't help laughing, and he was a little relieved. Thinking of the previous scene where Gu Zichuan and Shen Shu fought each other, it was actually quite cheerful.

If he and Gu Zichuan hadn't been separated, they might have sat together, with Yan Yu and Shen Shu on their side, laughing and eating barbecue like this.Gu Zichuan and Shen Shu refused to accept each other, and they would quarrel in the middle of eating. Like Yan Yu, he would touch Gu Zichuan's waist and bite his ears to make him take a step back.Gu Zichuan probably wouldn't be happy, frowning, asking him to agree to some strange and shameful demands, he would reluctantly compromise, in fact, there was also expectation in his heart, then he turned around, raised his glass, and said: "Brother, I I apologize to you for Xiao Chuan."

But he separated from Gu Zichuan, he could only listen silently, smile bitterly, and clink glasses with Shen Shu.

Chen Ning thought that he had already adapted to a person, but now he knew that he hadn't.He looked at Shen Shu and Yan Yu, saw their arms sticking to their thighs, and the rings on their ring fingers that were exactly the same, he thought, maybe he would never be able to adapt to a person.

This night, he drank a lot, but after returning to the hotel and taking a shower, Chen Ning couldn't feel sleepy at all.Shen Shu arranged for him a suite on the top floor of the hotel. The room had a big balcony. After applying his face, Chen Ning thought about it and decided to go outside to blow some air.

He only wore a bathrobe, his hair was still half wet, and he walked out wearing slippers. The cool wind in the middle of the night bulged the gauze curtain and messed up his hair.

The air in Chibi is fresh, and it seems that faint stars can be seen at night. Chen Ning looked up for a while, but suddenly smelled a strange smell of smoke.

He was a little confused, turned his head and looked around, only to realize that the smoke was coming from the left side of the balcony.He walked in, followed the faint white smoke, and saw a man in the next room, on the adjacent balcony, with his back to him, a laptop in front of him, a watch in his left hand, and his index finger and middle finger. smoking.

The watch was inexplicably familiar, Chen Ning took a closer look, and couldn't help screaming: "Xiaozhuan?!"

He drank, and the words rushed out without thinking, and he realized that this title no longer belonged to him.But Gu Zichuan still turned around, the cigarette between his fingers gathered a long piece of ash, and looked at him.

"Chen Ning?" Gu Zichuan was also stunned. With a shake of his hand, the cigarette ash fell onto his lap. He stood up so hot that he stomped his feet in a hurry, and the remaining half of the cigarette also fell to the ground. He stomped his feet resentfully. Then he raised his head and asked unfriendlyly, "Why are you here?"

"I..." For a while, Chen Ning only saw the watch in Gu Zichuan's hand, and he was in a daze for a while before replying, "I live in this room."

The balcony of the room was built in a half-arc, and the nearest place was less than a foot apart. He and Gu Zichuan were both standing in the corner, and they could hold each other just by stretching out their hands.

Gu Zichuan nodded, put his left hand in his trouser pocket, and the sports pants outlined a little outline of the dial: "I'm writing tomorrow's play."

Chen Ning let out an "oh", lowered his head, and saw the stomped cigarette butts at Gu Zichuan's feet. After a moment of silence, he still couldn't help asking: "Why do you start smoking?"

He didn't dare to look at people, his head was half down, and he looked at the street from the corner of his eye. Gu Zichuan seemed to snort, and the voice that came over was very cold: "If you want to smoke, then smoke."

After speaking, Chen Ning heard the lighter click.

He raised his face, saw Gu Zichuan lit another cigarette, put it in his right hand, and took a deep breath.

The smoke spit out from Gu Zichuan's mouth and floated into the dark night, covering a dim star.

And he had used that mouth, kissed his mouth.

"Stop smoking." For some reason, his heart throbbed with pain, Chen Ning put his fingers on the railing, and said in a soft voice, "It's not good for your body."

"What do you care about me?" Gu Zichuan spit out again, but this time it was directed at him.

Chen Ning turned his face away, avoiding the choking smoke, and heard Gu Zichuan continue to say: "It's not your body."

He couldn't say another word, staring blankly at Gu Zichuan holding a cigarette, picked up his laptop and walked to the room, "Let's go." With the last sentence, Gu Zichuan closed the balcony door.

The smoke was blown away by the wind.
