【Mo Mao】Best Actor
Chapter 10
Li Wuyi tightly grasped the steel pipe piercing through his chest, with blood dripping from the corner of his mouth, he stretched out his hand to Mu Xuanying in vain, gritted his teeth and said, "I, do, ghost, also, no, yes, let it go..."
Mu Xuanying came up and gave him a high five: "Congratulations!"
Li Wuyi spat blood again: "It's only two words, let me finish!"
Mu Xuanying couldn't help laughing out loud, and then felt a little melancholy: "You're all done filming."
"Yeah," Li Wuyi broke off the steel pipe props stuck to his chest, took the towel handed by his assistant and wiped his face, "I can't spit out this bento, and from now on I can only appear in your memories. And in the ending song, remember how much you miss me."
Mu Xuanying nodded solemnly, then laughed again: "It will definitely."
The two returned to the dressing room. Li Wuyi took off the costume stained with fake blood, put on his own T-shirt, scratched his hair and asked in a low voice: "The old monster hasn't abused you these days, has it?"
Mu Xuanying knew who he was talking about, and replied: "Of course not, I have no enmity with her, so it's so boring to abuse me."
"That's right, I think you played well with her, much better than I did at the beginning," Li Wuyi puffed up his cheeks, "Comrade comrades, I leave it to you to avenge me, don't fight with the old man." The monster is polite."
"I watched the movie you co-starred with her," Mu Xuanying curled her lower lip, "You obviously acted really well, don't be humble with me."
"Heaven!" Li Wuyi covered his chest with inexplicable grief and indignation, "You actually read my black history, and the only way to do it now is to kill people to silence them."
He pretended to pinch Mu Xuanying's neck, and just as he grabbed it, the door was pushed open.
Xiao Baiyan stood at the door wearing a water-colored cardigan, looking at them expressionlessly.
The choked person and the two little brothers who were choked instantly petrified.
In less than a second, Xiao Baiyan said "I went wrong", turned around and left gracefully.
The two people left in the room swallowed at the same time, let out a long breath, and then looked at each other, both couldn't help but laugh.
"Too cowardly..." Li Wuyi said quietly, "Why are we so cowardly when we see her?"
"It's common sense that it's normal for a son to be afraid of his mother," Mu Xuanying patted him on the shoulder, "it's fate."
"It doesn't matter, anyway, I've been liberated a long time ago," Li Wuyi comforted himself, "My mother-child relationship with Goddess Xiao has been terminated. The pity is you, the new son, who is still in the sea of suffering."
"It's not that exaggerated," Mu Xuanying paused, and continued, "Before I auditioned, someone told me that what I learned in this crew would be more useful than how many acting classes I took. He said That's right."
"Who fooled you?"
"He won't fool me!" Mu Xuanying raised her chin and said with a smile, "Come on, brother, from now on, we will be old monsters."
Although he has already finished his work, Li Wuyi has no intention of leaving in a hurry.He said that the grilled skewers here are not enough, and he wants to stay in the crew for a few more days, and watch Mu Xuanying's evolution history of the old monster by the way.
After Mu Xuanying finished filming the scenes of the day, she went back to the house to rest, but Li Wuyi asked him to play ball, but he didn't go.
Playing against a group of actors, it would be a lie to say that you are not tired.These days, he often has the illusion that he is stepping on a wire rope, the air around him is extremely tense, and the pressure comes from all directions.Every time the director yells "click", it seems to be a lifeline that pulls him back to the world.
Ups and downs in and out of the play are like breathing in a swimming pool, holding your breath and sinking underwater, raising your head to breathe oxygen.
A good actor acts like a fish in water.
Mo Yu is probably the one that swims the most freely.
Strange to say, since joining the group, Mu Xuanying seldom thinks of Mo Yu. He concentrates on dealing with the role of Tao Jue, and occasionally feels difficult, but never thinks of asking Mo Yu for help.
But today, he suddenly wanted to call Mo Yu, even if it was just to say hello.
***
Mo Yu arrived in City H at noon, and the hotel he stayed in was located in the downtown area in the east of City H, a little far from the Huaiyang River where the filming was scheduled.After Mo Hongni contacted the person in charge of the crew, she knocked on the door of Mo Yu's room and told him that she was going to the crew tomorrow.
"There are no other activities today," Mo Hongni said forcefully to the schedule, "you can go wherever you want, young master."
Mo Yu leaned on the sofa, with a half-smile: "Where am I going?"
"It takes less than half an hour to drive from here to a certain film crew." After Mo Hongni finished speaking, she quickly exited the room and closed the door, not giving Mo Yu a chance to silence her.
Mo Yu watched her flee, thinking that she had been too tolerant to her assistants recently, so she should be proud.
Mo Rongrong, as his assistant, posted Mu Xuanying's poster in the office, and Mo Yu turned a blind eye.By the way, that poster looks pretty good, the only problem is that the neckline is a bit low, which makes Mo Yu want to add a scarf to it every time he sees that poster.
Withdrawing his thoughts, he first ordered lunch, took a rest after eating, turned on the TV and began to change channels.
Most of the non-prime time TV is not very good. It is either an old drama rerun or an advertisement. Mo Yu changed a few channels and finally switched to a certain music on demand program.
Some viewers will contact this type of music show, hoping to play a special song on the show for a special person.
Wearing round glasses and dressed like a doraemon, the host said while shaking his funny thick eyebrows: Today, a viewer called and said that he wanted to order a song he liked very much for his crush 19 Listen to those who are young, wow, 19 years old, classmate, how old are you this year?Puppy love is bad.He said that he has liked her for 19 years and has been by her side all the time, but he dare not confess... Ah, I understand why he chose this song. I hope the song can give him strength and let him go bravely. Confess!Next, let us listen to this audience named SFL, the unspoken love.
As soon as the screen lens is changed, the MV image jumps out.
Like a black-and-white movie, there is a fastened notebook lying flat on the mottled wooden table. A gust of wind blows the notebook open, and three words pop out one by one on the blank paper: unrequited love.
——I still remember your appearance, hiding in my heart and writing poems for you, even though I have a lot of thoughts in the end, I haven't spoken yet...
The MV played one scene after another along with the singing, the drizzle fell on the puddles, and the gardenias were also wet, the playground became a barren grass, and the swing frame was full of rust.
It was a song that Mo Yu had heard, from Mo Rongrong's mobile phone, in a closed elevator car, there was another person inside, who was the one who sang this song.
Mo Yu leaned on the sofa and listened quietly. He suddenly wanted to call Mu Xuanying, even if it was just to say hello.
***
——Hello, are you busy now, can I give you a call?
It is said that there are expectations hidden in every interrogative sentence, and people with high emotional intelligence will hear whether the answer is affirmative or negative hidden in the other party's question.
For example, the translation of this sentence is: I hope you are not too busy now, I want to call you.
However, Mo Yu's reaction when he saw this text message was that Mu Xuanying was really the same as always, and every time he called him, he had to send an inquiry text message.This seemingly redundant behavior sometimes represents the importance of the other party, and sometimes represents a strange distance.
Mo Yu selfishly did not want to be the latter.
Holding the phone, he changed into a comfortable position, prepared for a long phone call, and dialed the number.
"Hello," the other side quickly picked up, with a high-pitched tone, "Hello!"
When he heard the other party's voice, the corners of Mo Yu's mouth couldn't help but curl up: "Well, do you have anything to do with me?"
Every word from the receiver is accompanied by a smile: "Yes! I miss you."
Mo Yu's face froze, almost breaking his nerves.
"I remember what you told me. There are indeed many great gods in this crew. I have benefited a lot. Thank you for helping me make up my mind at that time." Mu Xuanying paused, and said, "They are really amazing. ah."
"So happy?" Mo Yu calmed down, "I thought you would be abused, and I've been waiting for you to come to me and cry."
"To be abused is to be abused..." Mu Xuanying said embarrassedly, "Mr. Xiao is a strict type, but I am not afraid, and I will never cry."
"Which Xiao? Xiao Baiyan?"
"Ah."
"She's not bad," Mo Yu said with a little melancholy, resting on his hands, "Now that you've seen so many great masters, you don't think I'm special anymore. Good actors are everywhere."
"You are different," Mu Xuanying retorted immediately, "You are the best with me."
boom!Got hit again.
Mo Yu rubbed her chin, and suddenly had a feeling: It's not a bad thing to end this call early.Such a frank and direct dialogue between one side with ghosts in mind and one side should not go on for too long, as it is prone to accidents.
He changed the subject and said, "You don't have to be afraid of Xiao Baiyan, she used to have a nickname 'NG Xiao', don't you know?"
Mu Xuanying was indeed distracted by him: "Is there such a thing?"
"Of course, Xiao Baiyan was specially used as Ye Zhijing's stand-in before. Well, Ye Zhijing has retired, and she was also a famous actress in the film industry back then. Later, Ye Zhijing signed a movie However, she was temporarily injured and couldn’t get in the water. She dealt with the producer for a long time, and I don’t know how many concessions she made, but she managed to persuade the other party to let Xiao Baiyan take over. That was Xiao Baiyan’s debut and her success. The masterpiece, "The Strange Tan of Liaozhai: Bai Qiulian"."
"I don't think I've seen this movie..."
"That's, how young you are," Mo Yu said with a smile, "Your childhood memories are me, right? Come, tell me, you grew up watching Brother Mo Yu's plays."
"That's not it!" Mu Xuanying was amused by him, "My childhood memories are Doraemon and Nobita, and you are my childhood memories... No, I can't talk about memories, I like you very much now."
boom!
the third time.
Mo Yu rubbed his forehead, full of expectations that a law would be issued, expressly stipulating that Mu Juvenile should not always hit straight balls casually and abuse others' hearts.
People are too simple and sincere, and sometimes it is an unforgivable sin, especially for some people with ulterior motives.
He cleared his throat and continued, "Are you still listening to my story?"
"Listen, tell me, I won't interrupt." Mu Xuanying promised.
"Bai Qiulian's movie was filmed on location, and people really wanted to go down into the river. Xiao Baiyan was actually very afraid of water, so she bit the bullet and the result was that she kept NGing in the water on the boat, and was scolded by the director so much I didn’t know her, so she got the nickname of ‘NG Xiao’. She continued to do it over and over again despite the scolding, and persisted until the end of the filming. Fortunately, the result was good, and "Bai Qiulian" is still a classic today. , none of the subsequent Liao Zhai Qi Tan series can surpass it."
Speaking of this, Mo Yu was silent for a while, and then said: "She is on the set, does she always carry a thermos with her?"
"Yes," Mu Xuanying said, "I've seen it several times."
"That cup is not filled with water, but medicine." Mo Yu said in a deep voice.
"Uh!" Mu Xuanying exclaimed in a low voice, "Why, is she not in good health?"
"In order to play Bai Qiulian, she often soaked in the river, and she didn't ask for leave when she caught a cold. As a result, she was at the root of her illness and needed to take medicine frequently." Mo Yu sighed, "If you can still see that thermos, it means that she is still alive It's not going well."
Mu Xuanying's mood suddenly became complicated, and when she recalled Xiao Baiyan's indifferent expression, she couldn't help feeling admiration in her heart.
Although Li Wuyi often ridiculed Xiao Baiyan as an old monster, she also praised her for her outstanding acting skills and her dedication.
"I'm telling you this for two reasons." Mo Yu's voice pulled him back from his thoughts, and he heard Mo Yu's next words.
"First, if she is indifferent to you, don't be afraid of her, after all, she was once scolded as a rookie; second, I know you want to be a good actor, and you work very hard, but the premise of everything is, You can't sacrifice your health. Your body is the most important thing. Rest when you are too tired, and recuperate when you are injured or sick. You must learn to cherish yourself. I want you to achieve your dreams in peace."
On the other end of the phone, Mu Xuanying remained silent, feeling a strong emotion in her heart.He pressed the phone to his ear and felt that the body was hot, much hotter than his face.
He lowered his head and saw the scar under his knee, feeling a little guilty for no reason, secretly glad that Mo Yu couldn't see anything.
It's not that he didn't feel the kindness that Mo Yu treated him, the better he was treated by others, the more he wanted to give back to more people.
"Mo Yu," he said seriously, "If one day I can help you, please tell me what I can do for you. No matter what, I will do it."
He was answered with a long sigh.
He waited for a long time, and finally Mo Yu's smiling voice came.
Mo Yu said to him: "Can you say it again, I want to record it, so that you won't be reckless in the future."
***
It was still raining in the evening, and he was holding a dark blue umbrella with a pattern of white sailing boats around it.The backpack is only on the right side. He is holding an umbrella in his right hand and carrying a heavy plastic bag in his left hand.
On rainy days, there are few people on the road. Everyone is carefully opening an umbrella, carefully stepping, and rarely raises his head to look at others.This is the best way, no one will look at him, and no one will whisper behind his back, thinking he can't hear.
As long as he can remember, he has traveled countless times, but recently it has gradually made him afraid.The neighbors nearby used to have friendly and kind faces, but now they also frightened him. There was some soul hidden under the human skin, and they all wanted to look at him with secret eyes.
"The son of a murderer", "It can't be seen on the surface, but he is this kind of person", "Stay away from him, who knows if murder will be inherited"...
They thought he couldn't hear, and probably didn't care if he heard.
His foot accidentally stepped on a loose stone slab, and a puddle of water gushed out, soaking his shoes.
On rainy days, stepping on wet shoes is the most annoying, as if there is a wet monster lying on the feet, and every step is uncomfortable.
Tao Jue stopped, raised his umbrella slightly, looked through the rain, and saw a man standing at the door of his house.
Yan Yun held an open black umbrella in his hand, the most unpretentious black umbrella with a straight handle, which set off a pair of sharp black pupils even more sparkling, like light and electricity.
He shouldn't be laughing at the moment, how could he laugh, but Tao Jue laughed, thinking of the black cat sheriff.
His smile was very weak, and he put it away in an instant, and took a few steps forward indifferently: "Officer Yan."
Yan Yun put away the umbrella, raindrops fell along the eaves and wet his shoulders: "Have you eaten yet?"
Tao Jue lifted the plastic bag: "I bought it."
He also put away the umbrella, took out the key and opened the door. After the door was opened, he turned his face and said, "I bought too much. If you don't mind, let's eat together."
Yan Yun followed him into the house, took off his shoes, Tao Jue didn't stop him, didn't find him slippers, and went to the kitchen by himself.
Yan Yun had no choice but to sit down at the table with bare feet, and heard the clinking sound of porcelain from the kitchen, probably he was picking up tableware.He turned his eyes and saw the photos on the cabinet.The young Tian Xiaoli was wearing a white navy collar dress, holding the young Tao Jue in his arms, smiling brightly and beautifully at the camera.
He recalled the woman he saw in the monitoring room, her face was haggard and the corners of her mouth were drooping, obviously struggling for survival, it was hard to imagine such a smile.
There are several awards on the wall, different years, some have been deformed and the corners are warped, and some papers are still brand new.The certificates were all awarded to the same person, and they all wrote the name of the teenager who was busy in the kitchen at the moment.He has been an admirable child since he was a child, excellent and serious, with impeccable character. No wonder when his mother talked about him, the gloom in her eyes would suddenly fade away, revealing a proud light.
Yan Yun turned his head suddenly, looked in the direction of the kitchen, and frowned lightly and quickly.
The prisoner surrendered himself, and the details were fully explained, and there seemed to be no mistakes. However, there was always a slight difference, as if there was a misplaced gap in the jigsaw puzzle, which made him unable to accept the answer given by the mother.
He had a guess in his heart, but how could he rely on intuition to convict, he had to find evidence first, so he came here...
"Bang!"
Yan Yun stood up abruptly and rushed into the kitchen, seeing a still scene in front of him.
Broken pieces of porcelain were scattered on the ground, and Tao Jue leaned against the sink, staring at the pieces in a daze.
"Tao Jue!" Yan Yun grabbed his hand and examined it carefully, "Aren't you injured?"
"I didn't touch it..." Tao Jue raised his head, his eyes dazed, and he muttered to himself, his whole body was fragile and confused, like a deer lost in the dark night forest.
Yan Yun kept silent, took the broom and dustpan, and bent down to clean it.When he finished tidying up and turned his face again, he saw the young man with his head down, his forehead covering his eyes.
"Tao Jue," he slowed down, "I want to ask you a few questions, is it convenient?"
"I also want to ask you a question," the boy said in a low voice, "Really, did my mother kill Wenying?"
***
Mu Xuanying walked to the courtyard with an umbrella, avoiding the wires and props laid out on the ground, and found an open place to open the umbrella.
The rain was already light, and it made a clear beeping sound when it hit the umbrella surface.
He turned the handle in a circle, and water droplets flew out along the tip of the umbrella, like a merry-go-round music box, flowing out a series of crystal arcs.
"Oh!" Mo Caiwei exclaimed.
When Mu Xuanying turned her head, she saw that she was wiping the water splashed on her face.
"Sorry," he quickly took out a tissue, "I didn't notice."
"It's okay, you can't see me from the back of your head," Mo Caiwei smiled, and then said, "The manager called, and you were filming at the time, and I told him that he would tell you."
"Brother Ying? Did he say what it was?"
"He didn't tell me, but he asked me about your recent filming schedule, and you may need to go out."
Mu Xuanying gave her the umbrella to hold, took the mobile phone she handed over, and called back Tang Ying's number.
As soon as it was connected, Tang Ying said: "Clean up, don't bring too many things, fly back to City B tomorrow morning, and go back the day after tomorrow to continue filming your movie."
"Wait, why don't you tell me what you want to do," Mu Xuanying raised her forehead, "And it's not that simple, you can let me run away casually."
"I've asked, and two days are still enough. Besides, taking a few hard photos is not a trivial matter for you."
Mu Xuanying paused and asked, "Which magazine is in such a hurry?"
"FHM," Tang Ying paused, "Su Mansha came to the door by herself, and said she wanted you to be the cover character of the next issue."
"FHM" is one of the top fashion magazines in the entertainment industry featuring male stars.The content of each issue is uniquely designed, and the stylists and photographers are all well-known figures in the industry.There is a saying that if you want to know whether a male star is popular, you have to see if he has ever been on the cover of "FHM".
The editor-in-chief Su Mansha was born as a supermodel. She walked on the stage in major shows when she was a teenager, and she also endorsed two beauty brands.After becoming famous, she began to guest star in film and television dramas, and became a familiar face.What really made her popular was a variety show called Beauty Made.
In this program, guest contestants come to transform the image of ordinary amateurs.Each issue will give a difficult theme, and in a limited time period, makeup and clothing will be designed according to limited materials.This is where Su Mansha's best skills come in handy. She has worked hard in the fashion industry for many years. What she is most familiar with is how to tap the greatest charm of a person, so that the most ordinary people can shine on the stage.
The ratings of the show rose steadily with the masterpieces that Su Mansha handed over in each episode, and finally she won the championship of that season of Beauty Maker.Holding the trophy, Su Mansha stood on the stage smiling confidently: It took me ten years to finally find my favorite and best job, and please look forward to it, I will bring more to the world Surprise, thank you!
Afterwards, she jumped straight into "FHM", planning topic selections, making appointments with celebrities, building momentum against the wind, and climbed to the position of editor-in-chief all the way.
The first time Mu Xuanying met Su Mansha was at a charity reception.The two were separated by a long distance and never greeted each other.At that time, Su Mansha Gu Panshenfei was exquisite in all aspects, her huge earrings set off her small and delicate face, and there were celebrities in the circle sitting on the left and right.
At that time, he couldn't think of it. It didn't take long for Su Mansha to make up his mind.
"I haven't watched "The Gang of Men"..." Mu Xuanying didn't want to go because of selfishness. After filming "Once Upon a Time in Yancheng" day by day, he finally started to get his hands on the right script, and even Luo Feng praised him But he did well.This time I suddenly left the group, what if I become unfamiliar with the role after returning?
"Nonsense, that book sells masculinity. If you like to read it, I should suspect your sexual orientation," Tang Ying joked, "Don't worry, "FHM" has a good reputation and stable sales. Su Mansha dares to find it. You, it means that she has confidence in you. That woman never does business at a loss. "
"So, you suggest I go?"
"Why don't you go to the great publicity opportunity, unless you don't want to be popular."
"It doesn't matter whether it's popular or not, I'm still in the learning stage..." Mu Xuanying's reflex arc took a sharp turn, and she suddenly came to her senses, "Wait a minute, what is masculinity! Do you still need to sell lust?"
Tang Ying laughed at the other end: "Food and sex, today is the world of looking at faces, young people, who doesn't like beautiful things? None of the photos taken by Su Mansha are ugly. Her specialty is To discover the charm of a person, don’t you want to see what she will take of you? A deep understanding of all aspects of yourself is also an important learning.”
After hearing what he said, Mu Xuanying said, "Let me think about it first."
"By the way, this time it's not just a photo shoot, but also an interview about you. Be careful, Su Mansha is very good at clichés, if you have any little secrets that you don't want to tell the public, remember to keep them secret."
***
Tang Ying had seen Su Mansha's methods before, so she had to say hello to her in advance: There is a limit to everything, and you must be merciful to a newcomer like Mu Xuanying who is not involved in the circle.
Su Mansha said yes naturally in front of him, then turned her head and began to calculate.The first thing she noticed about Mu Xuanying was not his debut work "When the Flowers Bloomed", but a short commercial of Pang Cha Cha Potato Chips.
She has a lot of entertainment, so she would not pay attention to a newcomer actor in a short commercial, but one day she happened to be talking to the sponsor of the magazine, and she casually looked out of the floor-to-ceiling glass windows of the restaurant and saw the LED screen on the outside of the opposite shopping mall building. , just in time for a picture of a boy in school uniform walking past the classroom window.
Su Mansha's fingers holding the goblet stopped suddenly, and her eyes lit up.
She has been working on the runway for many years, and she sees people very deeply, and she can tell who is the truth and who is the embroidered pillow at a glance.Take this boy eating potato chips as an example. He walks steadily and his back is straight, his face is bright and straight, and his eyebrows and eyes are beautiful.
She was lost in thought, but the sponsor on the opposite side smiled: Ms. Su also likes fresh meat, doesn't she?
Su Mansha came back to her senses, and said with a smile: No, I only care about how much the fresh meat can sell for a catty.
She remembered this newcomer named Mu Xuanying, and also thought about putting him on the scale when she had time.However, this "free time" also depends on the opportunity. If you want to lure Mu Xuanying into the studio, you have to find an opportunity that suits him, not to mention that Su Mansha is really too busy.
But this time, when her capable officers stayed up for several nights and handed in the plan for a new issue of "FHM", when she saw the plan, a young and energetic face immediately appeared in her mind, and she did it as soon as she said it. Without any hesitation, she went straight to Tang Ying.
How did Mu Xuanying know the twists and turns, he has more experience in filming commercials than filming, and two-dimensional photos are more common.Tang Ying's last sentence reminded him to be careful of Su Mansha's stereotypes, but he still didn't take it seriously.
He feels that he has always been aboveboard, that he has nothing to say to others, and whoever wants to gossip is allowed to gossip. Presumably, with Tang Ying's recommendation as a guarantee, that magazine should not just make up random rumors.
After he got off the plane, he asked Mo Caiwei to help him buy the latest issue of "FHM" at the bookstore at the airport, in order to learn about the style of the magazine.Unexpectedly, the cover character of this issue is someone he knows, Luo Feng who is currently in the same crew as him.
Although Luo Feng can be recognized at a glance, it is not Yan Yun's appearance, but the ancient costume of the Taoist uniform with a crown.In the ice and snow, Luo Feng's long sword was behind him, and he swung the sword in front of him with one hand.A head of black hair was gathered into the Taoist crown, clearly revealing the entire face, with a solemn face, serious and unsmiling, like a Taoist who practiced deep in the mountains, who only knew the meaning of swords all his life, and listened to the moon and pine wind.
The words on the cover are: body like a crane, intended to listen to the piano.Ask why, clean water is in the bottle.There is no sun and moon in the mountains, and the world travels all the way. ——Xia Ke Xing Luo Feng.
Mu Xuanying opened the inside page, besides Luo Feng wearing Taoist clothes, standing on the top of the mountain practicing sword, or sitting cross-legged and plucking the strings on his knees, there is also him wearing a short black jacket, wearing a bamboo hat, sitting The appearance of fishing in the green water valley.The water is shining, and the time and space are full of smoke, presenting a quiet and elegant charm.
Mu Xuanying is already familiar with Luo Feng's appearance in casual clothes and police uniform, but the Luo Feng in this magazine feels completely different.It seems that another soul has been pulled out of the body, from the era thousands of years ago.In that distant rivers and lakes, perhaps there really was such a young swordsman like the breeze and the moon, handsome and handsome, secluded like a fairy.
Seeing Luo Feng's excellent filming in "The Gang of Men", Mu Xuanying couldn't help but think of what Tang Ying said, Su Mansha has the ability to discover the charm of others.Now he is also starting to wonder how he will be photographed.
When Su Mansha saw him, she leaned towards him enthusiastically. The strong rose fragrance on her body made Mu Xuanying's nose itchy, and she turned her head and sneezed.
"Oh, I finally saw you," Su Mansha rested her chin on her slender hands, narrowing her eyes, like a lazy and luxurious cat, "Tang Ying told me that you are short on time, fortunately this time it was all studio shots, You don’t need to travel long distances to shoot the location.” She bit her fingertips unconsciously, and said in a coquettish manner, “Next time I have a chance, I’ll find a good place for you to shoot a set, and that’s the deal.”
"Can I take a look first, the shooting plan for this time."
Su Mansha rolled her eyes and waved her hands: "Don't worry, it's your first time working with us, you have to find out how you feel first, wait a moment."
She turned around and left the reception room, and came back not long after, with a stack of magazines in her hands, and put them in front of Mu Xuanying.
"These are back issues. The best-selling copies are here. If you browse through them, you should be able to understand our style."
The magazine on the top was the one that Mu Xuanying had just read, Luo Feng's Special Collection of Antiques.
He picked it up and said to Su Mansha, "I bought this book, it's really wonderful."
Su Mansha blinked: "I heard that you are filming with Luo Feng now, but you are busy, and I have to thank you for taking the time to come over. Or, when you guys are done, I invite you two to have dinner together? "
"It's okay, I've coordinated with the crew," Mu Xuanying put down Luo Feng's book, and continued to flip through the others, "You should tell me how to shoot...uh."
He stared at one of the "Men's Gang", attracted by the characters on the cover, and was momentarily speechless.
Su Mansha glanced at it, and the corner of her mouth lightly curled up: "This book sold like crazy at the time, and it was reprinted three times in a row. It really deserves to be him."
Mu Xuanying looked down at the cover for a while, then raised her head suddenly: "Is this leopard real?"
Su Mansha was taken aback, and burst into a loud laugh: "It must be fake! If the leopard bites him, I can't afford to pay even if I go bankrupt."
She pursed her lips and showed a smirk: "I thought it was Mo Dashen who fascinated you, but it turned out to be a leopard. Hey, I'm so disappointed."
The cover of that magazine was a tropical rainforest with deep greenery. Mo Yu was naked from the top to the top and wore a pair of camouflage trousers on the bottom. His skin was shiny bronze. There was a flame-shaped totem on his left cheek, and there were unrestrained tattoos on his body. .He knelt down on one knee, bowed his back, and exposed his longbow and arrow feathers behind him.He raised his left hand and firmly pressed the head of a black panther with smooth fur, like a hunter ready to go.Wild, violent, unconquerable.
In fact, what Su Mansha said was right, Mu Xuanying was fascinated by it, and it was indeed Mo Yu on the cover.
Mu Xuanying turned another page, glanced at it, and subconsciously closed it.
Sure enough, I heard Su Mansha's undisguised laughter.
"What's there to be embarrassed about? Look, the little girls in our agency have read this book many times. They like it."
Mu Xuanying suppressed the embarrassment on her face, pressed the cover, and read the accompanying words carefully: From the wind, from the fire, from the wilderness, from the land of no one——The Predator·Mo Yu .
Su Mansha clapped her palms, and thoughtfully said: "Mo Dashen is the most straightforward, take it off as soon as you say it, tell him what it feels like, he will understand it immediately, don't take it too smoothly."
She poked the cover of Mu Xuanying's magazine with her index finger, and said meaningfully: "Maybe, this is his true character. He is very much like him."
Mu Xuanying looked up at her, but said nothing.
He slowly opened the magazine, returning to the page that made him close it in a panic.
Mo Yuren was in an abandoned factory, surrounded by giant mechanical beasts that had long been abandoned and rusted. The light was dim, but his whole body seemed to be glowing.He stood upright and drank from a long army green water glass in one hand. Some of the water flowed onto his bare upper body, making the skin that had flowed through it look brighter and more moist.The belts of the low-waisted trousers were not tied properly, and they were pulled loose, and the concave curve at the waist was imaginative.
On the next page, he is holding a submachine gun in his hand, his camouflage trousers are tucked into military boots, his green shirt is half unbuttoned, revealing his strong chest, and a cigarette is slanted from the corner of his mouth, smiling cynically, the smoke is blurred That handsome and outstanding face also reveals a soul-stirring sex appeal.
"How about it, isn't it amazing!" Su Mansha was triumphant, "This issue is the proud work of "FHM". It's cool and sexy enough, so handsome that people's legs are weak."
It's hard for Mu Xuanying to say if he's so handsome that his legs are weak, but indeed every page is full of impact, and the hormone bursts straight out of the paper, choking him to panic.
Fortunately, the next page is full of text, only a half-length photo of Mo Yu is placed in the upper left corner. Looking closely at the text, it should be an interview with Mo Yu.
Mu Xuanying secretly breathed a sigh of relief, only to realize that his breathing had been tight all the time. He shook his head and read the words seriously.
Before he read a few lines, Su Mansha, who was opposite, had already knocked on the table.
"Little handsome guy, I invite you to come here, I didn't ask you to sit here and read a magazine," Su Mansha rolled her eyes, her face was enchanting, "Well, you can take this book home and read it slowly, okay? First help Let's finish taking pictures."
Su Mansha's mobility was beyond ordinary people, Mu Xuanying didn't have time to say anything, and just watched her grab the Mo Yu's special edition and stuff it into his carry-on backpack.
Most of the big names in the entertainment circle are a little nervous.Once in the workplace, everyone seems to be a different person, as if they have had enough chicken blood, stomping their feet and waving their hands, wishing to dominate the country immediately.
Su Mansha is also a member of neurotic workaholics.
Mu Xuanying discovered this after entering the studio with her.
In the reception room just now, Su Mansha's mask of being soft and flirtatious has long been taken off. As soon as she stepped into the studio, her toes spun quickly, calling this and that, her eyes were full of magic and her voice was loud.
Mu Xuanying was sent by her to change clothes, and followed the stylist to the dressing room.There was a row of well-matched clothes hanging on the hanger, and the stylist quickly took a set and handed it to him.He put it on and took a look in the mirror. The white cotton shirt and beige cotton linen trousers were all loose and not close-fitting.
The stylist put a pair of slippers by his feet for him to change into, and said to the makeup artist, "I'll leave it to you."
The make-up artist was a thin and small girl, but she was extremely strong. She put her hand on Mu Xuanying's shoulder and told him to sit down.Turning the chair around, Mu Xuanying faced the makeup mirror, and before she could take a second look at herself, the cotton pads had fallen off.
He didn't look carefully when he entered the studio, but now that he thinks about it, there seems to be a big bed in the middle of the studio?
"Ah, your eyebrows are so beautiful," the makeup artist pinched
Mu Xuanying came up and gave him a high five: "Congratulations!"
Li Wuyi spat blood again: "It's only two words, let me finish!"
Mu Xuanying couldn't help laughing out loud, and then felt a little melancholy: "You're all done filming."
"Yeah," Li Wuyi broke off the steel pipe props stuck to his chest, took the towel handed by his assistant and wiped his face, "I can't spit out this bento, and from now on I can only appear in your memories. And in the ending song, remember how much you miss me."
Mu Xuanying nodded solemnly, then laughed again: "It will definitely."
The two returned to the dressing room. Li Wuyi took off the costume stained with fake blood, put on his own T-shirt, scratched his hair and asked in a low voice: "The old monster hasn't abused you these days, has it?"
Mu Xuanying knew who he was talking about, and replied: "Of course not, I have no enmity with her, so it's so boring to abuse me."
"That's right, I think you played well with her, much better than I did at the beginning," Li Wuyi puffed up his cheeks, "Comrade comrades, I leave it to you to avenge me, don't fight with the old man." The monster is polite."
"I watched the movie you co-starred with her," Mu Xuanying curled her lower lip, "You obviously acted really well, don't be humble with me."
"Heaven!" Li Wuyi covered his chest with inexplicable grief and indignation, "You actually read my black history, and the only way to do it now is to kill people to silence them."
He pretended to pinch Mu Xuanying's neck, and just as he grabbed it, the door was pushed open.
Xiao Baiyan stood at the door wearing a water-colored cardigan, looking at them expressionlessly.
The choked person and the two little brothers who were choked instantly petrified.
In less than a second, Xiao Baiyan said "I went wrong", turned around and left gracefully.
The two people left in the room swallowed at the same time, let out a long breath, and then looked at each other, both couldn't help but laugh.
"Too cowardly..." Li Wuyi said quietly, "Why are we so cowardly when we see her?"
"It's common sense that it's normal for a son to be afraid of his mother," Mu Xuanying patted him on the shoulder, "it's fate."
"It doesn't matter, anyway, I've been liberated a long time ago," Li Wuyi comforted himself, "My mother-child relationship with Goddess Xiao has been terminated. The pity is you, the new son, who is still in the sea of suffering."
"It's not that exaggerated," Mu Xuanying paused, and continued, "Before I auditioned, someone told me that what I learned in this crew would be more useful than how many acting classes I took. He said That's right."
"Who fooled you?"
"He won't fool me!" Mu Xuanying raised her chin and said with a smile, "Come on, brother, from now on, we will be old monsters."
Although he has already finished his work, Li Wuyi has no intention of leaving in a hurry.He said that the grilled skewers here are not enough, and he wants to stay in the crew for a few more days, and watch Mu Xuanying's evolution history of the old monster by the way.
After Mu Xuanying finished filming the scenes of the day, she went back to the house to rest, but Li Wuyi asked him to play ball, but he didn't go.
Playing against a group of actors, it would be a lie to say that you are not tired.These days, he often has the illusion that he is stepping on a wire rope, the air around him is extremely tense, and the pressure comes from all directions.Every time the director yells "click", it seems to be a lifeline that pulls him back to the world.
Ups and downs in and out of the play are like breathing in a swimming pool, holding your breath and sinking underwater, raising your head to breathe oxygen.
A good actor acts like a fish in water.
Mo Yu is probably the one that swims the most freely.
Strange to say, since joining the group, Mu Xuanying seldom thinks of Mo Yu. He concentrates on dealing with the role of Tao Jue, and occasionally feels difficult, but never thinks of asking Mo Yu for help.
But today, he suddenly wanted to call Mo Yu, even if it was just to say hello.
***
Mo Yu arrived in City H at noon, and the hotel he stayed in was located in the downtown area in the east of City H, a little far from the Huaiyang River where the filming was scheduled.After Mo Hongni contacted the person in charge of the crew, she knocked on the door of Mo Yu's room and told him that she was going to the crew tomorrow.
"There are no other activities today," Mo Hongni said forcefully to the schedule, "you can go wherever you want, young master."
Mo Yu leaned on the sofa, with a half-smile: "Where am I going?"
"It takes less than half an hour to drive from here to a certain film crew." After Mo Hongni finished speaking, she quickly exited the room and closed the door, not giving Mo Yu a chance to silence her.
Mo Yu watched her flee, thinking that she had been too tolerant to her assistants recently, so she should be proud.
Mo Rongrong, as his assistant, posted Mu Xuanying's poster in the office, and Mo Yu turned a blind eye.By the way, that poster looks pretty good, the only problem is that the neckline is a bit low, which makes Mo Yu want to add a scarf to it every time he sees that poster.
Withdrawing his thoughts, he first ordered lunch, took a rest after eating, turned on the TV and began to change channels.
Most of the non-prime time TV is not very good. It is either an old drama rerun or an advertisement. Mo Yu changed a few channels and finally switched to a certain music on demand program.
Some viewers will contact this type of music show, hoping to play a special song on the show for a special person.
Wearing round glasses and dressed like a doraemon, the host said while shaking his funny thick eyebrows: Today, a viewer called and said that he wanted to order a song he liked very much for his crush 19 Listen to those who are young, wow, 19 years old, classmate, how old are you this year?Puppy love is bad.He said that he has liked her for 19 years and has been by her side all the time, but he dare not confess... Ah, I understand why he chose this song. I hope the song can give him strength and let him go bravely. Confess!Next, let us listen to this audience named SFL, the unspoken love.
As soon as the screen lens is changed, the MV image jumps out.
Like a black-and-white movie, there is a fastened notebook lying flat on the mottled wooden table. A gust of wind blows the notebook open, and three words pop out one by one on the blank paper: unrequited love.
——I still remember your appearance, hiding in my heart and writing poems for you, even though I have a lot of thoughts in the end, I haven't spoken yet...
The MV played one scene after another along with the singing, the drizzle fell on the puddles, and the gardenias were also wet, the playground became a barren grass, and the swing frame was full of rust.
It was a song that Mo Yu had heard, from Mo Rongrong's mobile phone, in a closed elevator car, there was another person inside, who was the one who sang this song.
Mo Yu leaned on the sofa and listened quietly. He suddenly wanted to call Mu Xuanying, even if it was just to say hello.
***
——Hello, are you busy now, can I give you a call?
It is said that there are expectations hidden in every interrogative sentence, and people with high emotional intelligence will hear whether the answer is affirmative or negative hidden in the other party's question.
For example, the translation of this sentence is: I hope you are not too busy now, I want to call you.
However, Mo Yu's reaction when he saw this text message was that Mu Xuanying was really the same as always, and every time he called him, he had to send an inquiry text message.This seemingly redundant behavior sometimes represents the importance of the other party, and sometimes represents a strange distance.
Mo Yu selfishly did not want to be the latter.
Holding the phone, he changed into a comfortable position, prepared for a long phone call, and dialed the number.
"Hello," the other side quickly picked up, with a high-pitched tone, "Hello!"
When he heard the other party's voice, the corners of Mo Yu's mouth couldn't help but curl up: "Well, do you have anything to do with me?"
Every word from the receiver is accompanied by a smile: "Yes! I miss you."
Mo Yu's face froze, almost breaking his nerves.
"I remember what you told me. There are indeed many great gods in this crew. I have benefited a lot. Thank you for helping me make up my mind at that time." Mu Xuanying paused, and said, "They are really amazing. ah."
"So happy?" Mo Yu calmed down, "I thought you would be abused, and I've been waiting for you to come to me and cry."
"To be abused is to be abused..." Mu Xuanying said embarrassedly, "Mr. Xiao is a strict type, but I am not afraid, and I will never cry."
"Which Xiao? Xiao Baiyan?"
"Ah."
"She's not bad," Mo Yu said with a little melancholy, resting on his hands, "Now that you've seen so many great masters, you don't think I'm special anymore. Good actors are everywhere."
"You are different," Mu Xuanying retorted immediately, "You are the best with me."
boom!Got hit again.
Mo Yu rubbed her chin, and suddenly had a feeling: It's not a bad thing to end this call early.Such a frank and direct dialogue between one side with ghosts in mind and one side should not go on for too long, as it is prone to accidents.
He changed the subject and said, "You don't have to be afraid of Xiao Baiyan, she used to have a nickname 'NG Xiao', don't you know?"
Mu Xuanying was indeed distracted by him: "Is there such a thing?"
"Of course, Xiao Baiyan was specially used as Ye Zhijing's stand-in before. Well, Ye Zhijing has retired, and she was also a famous actress in the film industry back then. Later, Ye Zhijing signed a movie However, she was temporarily injured and couldn’t get in the water. She dealt with the producer for a long time, and I don’t know how many concessions she made, but she managed to persuade the other party to let Xiao Baiyan take over. That was Xiao Baiyan’s debut and her success. The masterpiece, "The Strange Tan of Liaozhai: Bai Qiulian"."
"I don't think I've seen this movie..."
"That's, how young you are," Mo Yu said with a smile, "Your childhood memories are me, right? Come, tell me, you grew up watching Brother Mo Yu's plays."
"That's not it!" Mu Xuanying was amused by him, "My childhood memories are Doraemon and Nobita, and you are my childhood memories... No, I can't talk about memories, I like you very much now."
boom!
the third time.
Mo Yu rubbed his forehead, full of expectations that a law would be issued, expressly stipulating that Mu Juvenile should not always hit straight balls casually and abuse others' hearts.
People are too simple and sincere, and sometimes it is an unforgivable sin, especially for some people with ulterior motives.
He cleared his throat and continued, "Are you still listening to my story?"
"Listen, tell me, I won't interrupt." Mu Xuanying promised.
"Bai Qiulian's movie was filmed on location, and people really wanted to go down into the river. Xiao Baiyan was actually very afraid of water, so she bit the bullet and the result was that she kept NGing in the water on the boat, and was scolded by the director so much I didn’t know her, so she got the nickname of ‘NG Xiao’. She continued to do it over and over again despite the scolding, and persisted until the end of the filming. Fortunately, the result was good, and "Bai Qiulian" is still a classic today. , none of the subsequent Liao Zhai Qi Tan series can surpass it."
Speaking of this, Mo Yu was silent for a while, and then said: "She is on the set, does she always carry a thermos with her?"
"Yes," Mu Xuanying said, "I've seen it several times."
"That cup is not filled with water, but medicine." Mo Yu said in a deep voice.
"Uh!" Mu Xuanying exclaimed in a low voice, "Why, is she not in good health?"
"In order to play Bai Qiulian, she often soaked in the river, and she didn't ask for leave when she caught a cold. As a result, she was at the root of her illness and needed to take medicine frequently." Mo Yu sighed, "If you can still see that thermos, it means that she is still alive It's not going well."
Mu Xuanying's mood suddenly became complicated, and when she recalled Xiao Baiyan's indifferent expression, she couldn't help feeling admiration in her heart.
Although Li Wuyi often ridiculed Xiao Baiyan as an old monster, she also praised her for her outstanding acting skills and her dedication.
"I'm telling you this for two reasons." Mo Yu's voice pulled him back from his thoughts, and he heard Mo Yu's next words.
"First, if she is indifferent to you, don't be afraid of her, after all, she was once scolded as a rookie; second, I know you want to be a good actor, and you work very hard, but the premise of everything is, You can't sacrifice your health. Your body is the most important thing. Rest when you are too tired, and recuperate when you are injured or sick. You must learn to cherish yourself. I want you to achieve your dreams in peace."
On the other end of the phone, Mu Xuanying remained silent, feeling a strong emotion in her heart.He pressed the phone to his ear and felt that the body was hot, much hotter than his face.
He lowered his head and saw the scar under his knee, feeling a little guilty for no reason, secretly glad that Mo Yu couldn't see anything.
It's not that he didn't feel the kindness that Mo Yu treated him, the better he was treated by others, the more he wanted to give back to more people.
"Mo Yu," he said seriously, "If one day I can help you, please tell me what I can do for you. No matter what, I will do it."
He was answered with a long sigh.
He waited for a long time, and finally Mo Yu's smiling voice came.
Mo Yu said to him: "Can you say it again, I want to record it, so that you won't be reckless in the future."
***
It was still raining in the evening, and he was holding a dark blue umbrella with a pattern of white sailing boats around it.The backpack is only on the right side. He is holding an umbrella in his right hand and carrying a heavy plastic bag in his left hand.
On rainy days, there are few people on the road. Everyone is carefully opening an umbrella, carefully stepping, and rarely raises his head to look at others.This is the best way, no one will look at him, and no one will whisper behind his back, thinking he can't hear.
As long as he can remember, he has traveled countless times, but recently it has gradually made him afraid.The neighbors nearby used to have friendly and kind faces, but now they also frightened him. There was some soul hidden under the human skin, and they all wanted to look at him with secret eyes.
"The son of a murderer", "It can't be seen on the surface, but he is this kind of person", "Stay away from him, who knows if murder will be inherited"...
They thought he couldn't hear, and probably didn't care if he heard.
His foot accidentally stepped on a loose stone slab, and a puddle of water gushed out, soaking his shoes.
On rainy days, stepping on wet shoes is the most annoying, as if there is a wet monster lying on the feet, and every step is uncomfortable.
Tao Jue stopped, raised his umbrella slightly, looked through the rain, and saw a man standing at the door of his house.
Yan Yun held an open black umbrella in his hand, the most unpretentious black umbrella with a straight handle, which set off a pair of sharp black pupils even more sparkling, like light and electricity.
He shouldn't be laughing at the moment, how could he laugh, but Tao Jue laughed, thinking of the black cat sheriff.
His smile was very weak, and he put it away in an instant, and took a few steps forward indifferently: "Officer Yan."
Yan Yun put away the umbrella, raindrops fell along the eaves and wet his shoulders: "Have you eaten yet?"
Tao Jue lifted the plastic bag: "I bought it."
He also put away the umbrella, took out the key and opened the door. After the door was opened, he turned his face and said, "I bought too much. If you don't mind, let's eat together."
Yan Yun followed him into the house, took off his shoes, Tao Jue didn't stop him, didn't find him slippers, and went to the kitchen by himself.
Yan Yun had no choice but to sit down at the table with bare feet, and heard the clinking sound of porcelain from the kitchen, probably he was picking up tableware.He turned his eyes and saw the photos on the cabinet.The young Tian Xiaoli was wearing a white navy collar dress, holding the young Tao Jue in his arms, smiling brightly and beautifully at the camera.
He recalled the woman he saw in the monitoring room, her face was haggard and the corners of her mouth were drooping, obviously struggling for survival, it was hard to imagine such a smile.
There are several awards on the wall, different years, some have been deformed and the corners are warped, and some papers are still brand new.The certificates were all awarded to the same person, and they all wrote the name of the teenager who was busy in the kitchen at the moment.He has been an admirable child since he was a child, excellent and serious, with impeccable character. No wonder when his mother talked about him, the gloom in her eyes would suddenly fade away, revealing a proud light.
Yan Yun turned his head suddenly, looked in the direction of the kitchen, and frowned lightly and quickly.
The prisoner surrendered himself, and the details were fully explained, and there seemed to be no mistakes. However, there was always a slight difference, as if there was a misplaced gap in the jigsaw puzzle, which made him unable to accept the answer given by the mother.
He had a guess in his heart, but how could he rely on intuition to convict, he had to find evidence first, so he came here...
"Bang!"
Yan Yun stood up abruptly and rushed into the kitchen, seeing a still scene in front of him.
Broken pieces of porcelain were scattered on the ground, and Tao Jue leaned against the sink, staring at the pieces in a daze.
"Tao Jue!" Yan Yun grabbed his hand and examined it carefully, "Aren't you injured?"
"I didn't touch it..." Tao Jue raised his head, his eyes dazed, and he muttered to himself, his whole body was fragile and confused, like a deer lost in the dark night forest.
Yan Yun kept silent, took the broom and dustpan, and bent down to clean it.When he finished tidying up and turned his face again, he saw the young man with his head down, his forehead covering his eyes.
"Tao Jue," he slowed down, "I want to ask you a few questions, is it convenient?"
"I also want to ask you a question," the boy said in a low voice, "Really, did my mother kill Wenying?"
***
Mu Xuanying walked to the courtyard with an umbrella, avoiding the wires and props laid out on the ground, and found an open place to open the umbrella.
The rain was already light, and it made a clear beeping sound when it hit the umbrella surface.
He turned the handle in a circle, and water droplets flew out along the tip of the umbrella, like a merry-go-round music box, flowing out a series of crystal arcs.
"Oh!" Mo Caiwei exclaimed.
When Mu Xuanying turned her head, she saw that she was wiping the water splashed on her face.
"Sorry," he quickly took out a tissue, "I didn't notice."
"It's okay, you can't see me from the back of your head," Mo Caiwei smiled, and then said, "The manager called, and you were filming at the time, and I told him that he would tell you."
"Brother Ying? Did he say what it was?"
"He didn't tell me, but he asked me about your recent filming schedule, and you may need to go out."
Mu Xuanying gave her the umbrella to hold, took the mobile phone she handed over, and called back Tang Ying's number.
As soon as it was connected, Tang Ying said: "Clean up, don't bring too many things, fly back to City B tomorrow morning, and go back the day after tomorrow to continue filming your movie."
"Wait, why don't you tell me what you want to do," Mu Xuanying raised her forehead, "And it's not that simple, you can let me run away casually."
"I've asked, and two days are still enough. Besides, taking a few hard photos is not a trivial matter for you."
Mu Xuanying paused and asked, "Which magazine is in such a hurry?"
"FHM," Tang Ying paused, "Su Mansha came to the door by herself, and said she wanted you to be the cover character of the next issue."
"FHM" is one of the top fashion magazines in the entertainment industry featuring male stars.The content of each issue is uniquely designed, and the stylists and photographers are all well-known figures in the industry.There is a saying that if you want to know whether a male star is popular, you have to see if he has ever been on the cover of "FHM".
The editor-in-chief Su Mansha was born as a supermodel. She walked on the stage in major shows when she was a teenager, and she also endorsed two beauty brands.After becoming famous, she began to guest star in film and television dramas, and became a familiar face.What really made her popular was a variety show called Beauty Made.
In this program, guest contestants come to transform the image of ordinary amateurs.Each issue will give a difficult theme, and in a limited time period, makeup and clothing will be designed according to limited materials.This is where Su Mansha's best skills come in handy. She has worked hard in the fashion industry for many years. What she is most familiar with is how to tap the greatest charm of a person, so that the most ordinary people can shine on the stage.
The ratings of the show rose steadily with the masterpieces that Su Mansha handed over in each episode, and finally she won the championship of that season of Beauty Maker.Holding the trophy, Su Mansha stood on the stage smiling confidently: It took me ten years to finally find my favorite and best job, and please look forward to it, I will bring more to the world Surprise, thank you!
Afterwards, she jumped straight into "FHM", planning topic selections, making appointments with celebrities, building momentum against the wind, and climbed to the position of editor-in-chief all the way.
The first time Mu Xuanying met Su Mansha was at a charity reception.The two were separated by a long distance and never greeted each other.At that time, Su Mansha Gu Panshenfei was exquisite in all aspects, her huge earrings set off her small and delicate face, and there were celebrities in the circle sitting on the left and right.
At that time, he couldn't think of it. It didn't take long for Su Mansha to make up his mind.
"I haven't watched "The Gang of Men"..." Mu Xuanying didn't want to go because of selfishness. After filming "Once Upon a Time in Yancheng" day by day, he finally started to get his hands on the right script, and even Luo Feng praised him But he did well.This time I suddenly left the group, what if I become unfamiliar with the role after returning?
"Nonsense, that book sells masculinity. If you like to read it, I should suspect your sexual orientation," Tang Ying joked, "Don't worry, "FHM" has a good reputation and stable sales. Su Mansha dares to find it. You, it means that she has confidence in you. That woman never does business at a loss. "
"So, you suggest I go?"
"Why don't you go to the great publicity opportunity, unless you don't want to be popular."
"It doesn't matter whether it's popular or not, I'm still in the learning stage..." Mu Xuanying's reflex arc took a sharp turn, and she suddenly came to her senses, "Wait a minute, what is masculinity! Do you still need to sell lust?"
Tang Ying laughed at the other end: "Food and sex, today is the world of looking at faces, young people, who doesn't like beautiful things? None of the photos taken by Su Mansha are ugly. Her specialty is To discover the charm of a person, don’t you want to see what she will take of you? A deep understanding of all aspects of yourself is also an important learning.”
After hearing what he said, Mu Xuanying said, "Let me think about it first."
"By the way, this time it's not just a photo shoot, but also an interview about you. Be careful, Su Mansha is very good at clichés, if you have any little secrets that you don't want to tell the public, remember to keep them secret."
***
Tang Ying had seen Su Mansha's methods before, so she had to say hello to her in advance: There is a limit to everything, and you must be merciful to a newcomer like Mu Xuanying who is not involved in the circle.
Su Mansha said yes naturally in front of him, then turned her head and began to calculate.The first thing she noticed about Mu Xuanying was not his debut work "When the Flowers Bloomed", but a short commercial of Pang Cha Cha Potato Chips.
She has a lot of entertainment, so she would not pay attention to a newcomer actor in a short commercial, but one day she happened to be talking to the sponsor of the magazine, and she casually looked out of the floor-to-ceiling glass windows of the restaurant and saw the LED screen on the outside of the opposite shopping mall building. , just in time for a picture of a boy in school uniform walking past the classroom window.
Su Mansha's fingers holding the goblet stopped suddenly, and her eyes lit up.
She has been working on the runway for many years, and she sees people very deeply, and she can tell who is the truth and who is the embroidered pillow at a glance.Take this boy eating potato chips as an example. He walks steadily and his back is straight, his face is bright and straight, and his eyebrows and eyes are beautiful.
She was lost in thought, but the sponsor on the opposite side smiled: Ms. Su also likes fresh meat, doesn't she?
Su Mansha came back to her senses, and said with a smile: No, I only care about how much the fresh meat can sell for a catty.
She remembered this newcomer named Mu Xuanying, and also thought about putting him on the scale when she had time.However, this "free time" also depends on the opportunity. If you want to lure Mu Xuanying into the studio, you have to find an opportunity that suits him, not to mention that Su Mansha is really too busy.
But this time, when her capable officers stayed up for several nights and handed in the plan for a new issue of "FHM", when she saw the plan, a young and energetic face immediately appeared in her mind, and she did it as soon as she said it. Without any hesitation, she went straight to Tang Ying.
How did Mu Xuanying know the twists and turns, he has more experience in filming commercials than filming, and two-dimensional photos are more common.Tang Ying's last sentence reminded him to be careful of Su Mansha's stereotypes, but he still didn't take it seriously.
He feels that he has always been aboveboard, that he has nothing to say to others, and whoever wants to gossip is allowed to gossip. Presumably, with Tang Ying's recommendation as a guarantee, that magazine should not just make up random rumors.
After he got off the plane, he asked Mo Caiwei to help him buy the latest issue of "FHM" at the bookstore at the airport, in order to learn about the style of the magazine.Unexpectedly, the cover character of this issue is someone he knows, Luo Feng who is currently in the same crew as him.
Although Luo Feng can be recognized at a glance, it is not Yan Yun's appearance, but the ancient costume of the Taoist uniform with a crown.In the ice and snow, Luo Feng's long sword was behind him, and he swung the sword in front of him with one hand.A head of black hair was gathered into the Taoist crown, clearly revealing the entire face, with a solemn face, serious and unsmiling, like a Taoist who practiced deep in the mountains, who only knew the meaning of swords all his life, and listened to the moon and pine wind.
The words on the cover are: body like a crane, intended to listen to the piano.Ask why, clean water is in the bottle.There is no sun and moon in the mountains, and the world travels all the way. ——Xia Ke Xing Luo Feng.
Mu Xuanying opened the inside page, besides Luo Feng wearing Taoist clothes, standing on the top of the mountain practicing sword, or sitting cross-legged and plucking the strings on his knees, there is also him wearing a short black jacket, wearing a bamboo hat, sitting The appearance of fishing in the green water valley.The water is shining, and the time and space are full of smoke, presenting a quiet and elegant charm.
Mu Xuanying is already familiar with Luo Feng's appearance in casual clothes and police uniform, but the Luo Feng in this magazine feels completely different.It seems that another soul has been pulled out of the body, from the era thousands of years ago.In that distant rivers and lakes, perhaps there really was such a young swordsman like the breeze and the moon, handsome and handsome, secluded like a fairy.
Seeing Luo Feng's excellent filming in "The Gang of Men", Mu Xuanying couldn't help but think of what Tang Ying said, Su Mansha has the ability to discover the charm of others.Now he is also starting to wonder how he will be photographed.
When Su Mansha saw him, she leaned towards him enthusiastically. The strong rose fragrance on her body made Mu Xuanying's nose itchy, and she turned her head and sneezed.
"Oh, I finally saw you," Su Mansha rested her chin on her slender hands, narrowing her eyes, like a lazy and luxurious cat, "Tang Ying told me that you are short on time, fortunately this time it was all studio shots, You don’t need to travel long distances to shoot the location.” She bit her fingertips unconsciously, and said in a coquettish manner, “Next time I have a chance, I’ll find a good place for you to shoot a set, and that’s the deal.”
"Can I take a look first, the shooting plan for this time."
Su Mansha rolled her eyes and waved her hands: "Don't worry, it's your first time working with us, you have to find out how you feel first, wait a moment."
She turned around and left the reception room, and came back not long after, with a stack of magazines in her hands, and put them in front of Mu Xuanying.
"These are back issues. The best-selling copies are here. If you browse through them, you should be able to understand our style."
The magazine on the top was the one that Mu Xuanying had just read, Luo Feng's Special Collection of Antiques.
He picked it up and said to Su Mansha, "I bought this book, it's really wonderful."
Su Mansha blinked: "I heard that you are filming with Luo Feng now, but you are busy, and I have to thank you for taking the time to come over. Or, when you guys are done, I invite you two to have dinner together? "
"It's okay, I've coordinated with the crew," Mu Xuanying put down Luo Feng's book, and continued to flip through the others, "You should tell me how to shoot...uh."
He stared at one of the "Men's Gang", attracted by the characters on the cover, and was momentarily speechless.
Su Mansha glanced at it, and the corner of her mouth lightly curled up: "This book sold like crazy at the time, and it was reprinted three times in a row. It really deserves to be him."
Mu Xuanying looked down at the cover for a while, then raised her head suddenly: "Is this leopard real?"
Su Mansha was taken aback, and burst into a loud laugh: "It must be fake! If the leopard bites him, I can't afford to pay even if I go bankrupt."
She pursed her lips and showed a smirk: "I thought it was Mo Dashen who fascinated you, but it turned out to be a leopard. Hey, I'm so disappointed."
The cover of that magazine was a tropical rainforest with deep greenery. Mo Yu was naked from the top to the top and wore a pair of camouflage trousers on the bottom. His skin was shiny bronze. There was a flame-shaped totem on his left cheek, and there were unrestrained tattoos on his body. .He knelt down on one knee, bowed his back, and exposed his longbow and arrow feathers behind him.He raised his left hand and firmly pressed the head of a black panther with smooth fur, like a hunter ready to go.Wild, violent, unconquerable.
In fact, what Su Mansha said was right, Mu Xuanying was fascinated by it, and it was indeed Mo Yu on the cover.
Mu Xuanying turned another page, glanced at it, and subconsciously closed it.
Sure enough, I heard Su Mansha's undisguised laughter.
"What's there to be embarrassed about? Look, the little girls in our agency have read this book many times. They like it."
Mu Xuanying suppressed the embarrassment on her face, pressed the cover, and read the accompanying words carefully: From the wind, from the fire, from the wilderness, from the land of no one——The Predator·Mo Yu .
Su Mansha clapped her palms, and thoughtfully said: "Mo Dashen is the most straightforward, take it off as soon as you say it, tell him what it feels like, he will understand it immediately, don't take it too smoothly."
She poked the cover of Mu Xuanying's magazine with her index finger, and said meaningfully: "Maybe, this is his true character. He is very much like him."
Mu Xuanying looked up at her, but said nothing.
He slowly opened the magazine, returning to the page that made him close it in a panic.
Mo Yuren was in an abandoned factory, surrounded by giant mechanical beasts that had long been abandoned and rusted. The light was dim, but his whole body seemed to be glowing.He stood upright and drank from a long army green water glass in one hand. Some of the water flowed onto his bare upper body, making the skin that had flowed through it look brighter and more moist.The belts of the low-waisted trousers were not tied properly, and they were pulled loose, and the concave curve at the waist was imaginative.
On the next page, he is holding a submachine gun in his hand, his camouflage trousers are tucked into military boots, his green shirt is half unbuttoned, revealing his strong chest, and a cigarette is slanted from the corner of his mouth, smiling cynically, the smoke is blurred That handsome and outstanding face also reveals a soul-stirring sex appeal.
"How about it, isn't it amazing!" Su Mansha was triumphant, "This issue is the proud work of "FHM". It's cool and sexy enough, so handsome that people's legs are weak."
It's hard for Mu Xuanying to say if he's so handsome that his legs are weak, but indeed every page is full of impact, and the hormone bursts straight out of the paper, choking him to panic.
Fortunately, the next page is full of text, only a half-length photo of Mo Yu is placed in the upper left corner. Looking closely at the text, it should be an interview with Mo Yu.
Mu Xuanying secretly breathed a sigh of relief, only to realize that his breathing had been tight all the time. He shook his head and read the words seriously.
Before he read a few lines, Su Mansha, who was opposite, had already knocked on the table.
"Little handsome guy, I invite you to come here, I didn't ask you to sit here and read a magazine," Su Mansha rolled her eyes, her face was enchanting, "Well, you can take this book home and read it slowly, okay? First help Let's finish taking pictures."
Su Mansha's mobility was beyond ordinary people, Mu Xuanying didn't have time to say anything, and just watched her grab the Mo Yu's special edition and stuff it into his carry-on backpack.
Most of the big names in the entertainment circle are a little nervous.Once in the workplace, everyone seems to be a different person, as if they have had enough chicken blood, stomping their feet and waving their hands, wishing to dominate the country immediately.
Su Mansha is also a member of neurotic workaholics.
Mu Xuanying discovered this after entering the studio with her.
In the reception room just now, Su Mansha's mask of being soft and flirtatious has long been taken off. As soon as she stepped into the studio, her toes spun quickly, calling this and that, her eyes were full of magic and her voice was loud.
Mu Xuanying was sent by her to change clothes, and followed the stylist to the dressing room.There was a row of well-matched clothes hanging on the hanger, and the stylist quickly took a set and handed it to him.He put it on and took a look in the mirror. The white cotton shirt and beige cotton linen trousers were all loose and not close-fitting.
The stylist put a pair of slippers by his feet for him to change into, and said to the makeup artist, "I'll leave it to you."
The make-up artist was a thin and small girl, but she was extremely strong. She put her hand on Mu Xuanying's shoulder and told him to sit down.Turning the chair around, Mu Xuanying faced the makeup mirror, and before she could take a second look at herself, the cotton pads had fallen off.
He didn't look carefully when he entered the studio, but now that he thinks about it, there seems to be a big bed in the middle of the studio?
"Ah, your eyebrows are so beautiful," the makeup artist pinched
