【Mo Mao】Best Actor
Chapter 9 (1)
After a heavy rain, most of the ginger flowers in front of the door fell.The crew came and went, and the camera operator set up the tripod and adjusted the position of the digital film camera.
Mu Xuanying turned sideways to give way to a field worker holding a reflector.
There was something strange under his feet, as if he had hit something hard. When he raised his feet, he saw that it was a branch of a cherry tree.
Mo Caiwei also saw it, and said regretfully: "The cherry season is over, I can't eat any more."
Mu Xuanying smiled and said, "Isn't there still in the supermarket? If you want to eat, go buy it. I invite you."
Mo Caiwei curled her lips and said, "The supermarket only has cherries, which are different from cherries."
She let out a long hum, and said with a smile: "Every family in my hometown planted cherry trees. Every March and April, there are pink cherry blossoms everywhere on the wall and river bank. The adults don't ask us to pick flowers, but say that a flower is A cherry. There is also a folk remedy, which is to rub the ears with cherry leaves and snow water, and the ears will not get frostbite, but you can no longer eat cherries. I would rather have frostbite than give up eating, poor year Chilblains don’t develop until you go to the north.”
City H is Mo Caiwei's hometown, and it is also the filming location of "Once Upon a Time in Yancheng".
Lacking pillar industries and unique tourism resources, City H's development speed is much slower than other economically developed cities, and it retains a lot of old-fashioned features.
There are many one-story houses with red bricks and gray tiles that have escaped demolition, and the shooting base has covered an entire street.One of the yards will become the home of Tian Xiaoli and Tao Jue, a mother and son.
After obtaining the consent of the head of the household, the props were moved in one by one, and a home was rearranged.
Mu Xuanying stepped over the threshold, looked up, and saw a few photos of herself when she was a child put in photo frames and placed on the cabinet.The photo has been processed to look thin and faded, giving it a sense of antiquatedness that has gone through real years.
"BOSS was so cute when he was a child!" Mo Caiwei took out her mobile phone and took continuous pictures, "His smile is so sweet, and his eyes are so bright."
She turned her head to look at the current Mu Xuanying, and was very relieved: "It's not crooked."
Compared with the pink and round dumplings in childhood, Mu Xuanying's eyebrows and eyes are still beautiful when she grows up, and she has transformed into a handsome man with smooth cheeks. When she smiles, it's like a breeze blowing through a clear spring.
Not only is it not long and crooked, it should be said that the longer it is, the more brilliant it is.
"Hey, let me take a look?"
A person poked his head out from behind them, looking straight at Mu Xuanying.
This man was wearing a black T-shirt with a big tiger's head painted on the front chest, and an orange baseball cap was buckled on his head. His round eyes looked Mu Xuanying up and down without any scruples.
Mu Xuanying felt uncomfortable being looked at by him, and didn't know who he was, so she could only ask: "Hi, may I ask you..."
The man stretched out his hand first, and said with a smile: "Hi, my name is Li Wuyi, and I'm playing Zhou Wenying, ah, that unlucky guy you accidentally pushed to death."
"...Pfft," Mu Xuanying took his hand back, "Hello, my name is Mu Xuanying, and I will play Tao Jue, the unlucky guy who accidentally pushed you to death."
The two looked at each other and laughed.
Li Wuyi wiped the corners of his eyes and wiped away the tears from laughter: "As soon as I saw the script, I thought, these two people have memorized too much, the one who died was wronged, and the one who murdered is also quite unlucky."
"Manslaughter is also murder," Mu Xuanying said, "Tao Jue should accept legal punishment."
Li Wuyi choked for a moment, fell silent for a while, and asked, "Let me confirm, you are really playing Tao Jue, aren't you a five-good young man from the criminal investigation team?"
Mu Xuanying raised one corner of her mouth, raised her chin, and made a gesture of wiping her neck: "Why, don't I look like this?"
Li Wuyi shook his head from left to right in slow motion: "It's not like that, I believe you are the young version of Yan Yun."
Mu Xuanying opened her eyes wide: "Mr. Luo Feng and I don't look alike at all."
Luo Feng played the role of Yan Yun, the captain of the criminal investigation team of the Yancheng Police Department in "Once Upon a Time in Yancheng".
Li Wuyi supported his forehead: "It's not the face, it's the temperament. You and Luo Feng were probably knights in ancient times, the kind who shouted when they saw injustice, and drew their swords to cut off the head of the wicked."
He glanced at Mu Xuanying, said with a smirk, "Do you know which role I auditioned for?"
"Who?"
Li Wuyi pointed at him with two index fingers: "It's you, brother! I want to play Tao Jue!"
Mu Xuanying was dumbfounded, how should he answer, I'm sorry I stole the role you wanted to play, or did I actually want to play the corpse or should we switch?
"Our audition may not be on the same day, I didn't see you," Li Wuyi began to complain, "Director Yang is so cruel, he said I have ADHD, so he just asked me to act as a corpse to see if it can be cured. Nodding desperately beside me, is it my own..."
"Your father?"
"My dad is the producer of "Once Upon a Time in Yancheng". Haven't you seen him, the oldest and most frustrated one?" Li Wuyi raised his hand excitedly.
Mu Xuanying: "..."
It seems really adopted.
Mo Caiwei who was on the side finally broke in: "Young Master Li, if Mr. Li hears you say that, it might be worse than playing a corpse next time."
"Be sure to keep it secret for me, Sister Caiwei." Li Wuyi winked.
"Hey, do you know each other?" Mu Xuanying blinked.
Mo Caiwei nodded and smiled happily: "I've seen it in other productions before. Young Master Li played a ruffian who molested little girls everywhere, and was thrown from one end of the street to the other by the young master hahahaha...uh."
She froze suddenly, with a big crap in her heart.
... exposed.
Li Wuyi rolled his eyes: "I dedicated my life to art. I'm not like the Great God. Only art has been dedicated to him."
Mu Xuanying was silent for a while, then turned to look at Mo Caiwei.
"I confess, I confess!" Mo Caiwei raised her hand, carefully observing Mu Xuanying's expression, "My last employer was Mo Yu."
Mu Xuanying was stunned. He was dumbfounded for a while, then frowned suddenly, and said in a low voice: "Didn't you say that these are all commercial secrets and cannot be disclosed?"
"I, I thought you knew..." Mo Caiwei paused, feeling stupid.
"I wanted to ask you something else," Mu Xuanying murmured, "If I interrupt now, forget it."
The fact that Mo Caiwei was Mo Yu's former assistant did not have a small impact on him. How could he have imagined that there was such an intersection between Mo Yu and Mo Yu.
"Sister Caiwei is Mo Yu's assistant, who doesn't know, it's still a secret," Li Wuyi looked at the two of them, "Hey, she is already your assistant?"
Everyone knows it, but Mu Xuanying doesn't.
His mind was a little confused, and he pressed his forehead: "Sorry, I'm a little tired, I'm going to drink some water."
As soon as he walked away, Li Wuyi asked: "What's the matter, he doesn't know that you are Mo Yu's assistant? The reaction is so big?"
Mo Caiwei looked left and right, pouted in the direction Mu Xuanying was walking, and said word by word: "Small, fish, dry."
"Aha, I got it," Li Wuyi suddenly realized, giggling happily, "It's too cute."
"Yeah, our boss is really cute!" Mo Caiwei said proudly.
***
On the morning of the third day after joining the group, Mu Xuanying received his shooting schedule.
The first page of the schedule shows that the filming of his first scene will officially start at [-] pm, and it will also be his first scene with Xiao Baiyan, the actor who plays Tian Xiaoli.
As soon as Mu Xuanying saw the scenes marked above, her heart skipped a beat.
In this scene, after Tao Jue killed his friend by mistake, he fled home in shock, and had a difficult conversation with his mother, who was questioned repeatedly.Even in the whole unit story, it is not a small climax.
After participating in two dramas, Mu Xuanying learned early that filming often does not follow the scene. For economic reasons and consideration of time balance, actors sometimes have to act in the climax part as soon as they come up, and then go to the plain and low-key filming. role.
However, the overall style of the dramas he acted in before did not have much ups and downs. When he played Wei Xuan, the biggest difficulty for senior high school students was the college entrance examination. Huanxi's enemies are repeatedly entangled in the emotional scene.
But in "Once Upon a Time in Yancheng", all past experience is useless.
For the past two days, he has been staying on the sidelines, watching the performances of other actors, observing all the way, the more he watched, the more frightened he became.
Every actor here has a wealth of acting experience. Even the old man who poured water on the criminal investigation team is a golden supporting role that has acted in dozens of plays.
The curvature of their lips, the expression in their eyes, the subtle changes in facial expressions, and the small movements of their limbs are all like precision-positioned instruments, which are extremely precise when they should be closed and released.
The scene that Mu Xuanying impressed the most was when Yan Yun, played by Luo Feng, sat alone in the interrogation room, lowered his head and lit a cigarette, slowly exhaled a smoke ring, rubbed his eyelids, and then glanced at the opposite side, as if Suddenly reacted, stubbed out the cigarette, and said apologetically: Sorry, I shouldn't smoke in front of ladies.
There was a trace of sympathy on his weary and vicissitudes face, but sympathy was mixed with suspicion: Ms. Tian, can I trouble you to say it again, starting from the time you asked Zhou Wenying to meet, do you still remember, how old are you? What day and what time did you see him?
He paused for a while, as if he was listening carefully, with a wry smile on his lips: I'm sorry, I'm really not wasting time. The real murderer ran away, and the good man was wronged.
Speaking of the last sentence, his smile gradually faded, his face gradually became solemn, and a sharp light shot out of his eyes, which was a kind of repressive firmness.
Mu Xuanying stared at him closely, until director Yang Ning called out, then he moved his gaze to the opposite of Luo Feng.
The chair opposite Luo Feng was empty.
From the beginning to the end, he was acting alone, but he performed the effect of two people, as if Tian Xiaoli was sitting opposite him, stubbornly resisting his scrutiny.
One tried to hide the truth in order to protect his son.
One is determined to investigate thoroughly in order to reveal the truth.
Luo Feng pulled back the chair, stood up, rubbed the back of his neck, looked up at Mu Xuanying, and smiled at him.Luo Feng's face is heroic, and when he doesn't smile, he has a kind of righteous and awe-inspiring alienation, but when he smiles, his expression is gentle and soft, which makes people want to get close involuntarily.
As soon as Mu Xuanying smiled back, she was dragged away by Li Wuyi.
Li Wuyi pulled him outside the police station, and said with a chuckle, "Even if Luo Feng is handsome, you wouldn't look stupid, would you?"
Mu Xuanying's attention was elsewhere: "In the scene just now, Tian Xiaoli should have been there, I remember it was in the script."
Li Wuyi shrugged: "The director must have his reasons for this arrangement. You can watch it after editing the film. It is estimated that when Goddess Xiao arrives, there will be another reshoot. I am sure no one will be able to see that they were filmed separately. These old people Monsters can perform a big show against stones, but if you look at the whole crew, we are the real ones."
Speaking of this, he looked at Mu Xuanying and said worriedly: "Xiao Mu, are you thick-skinned enough?"
Mu Xuanying touched her face subconsciously: "How thick is thick?"
Li Wuyi scratched his scalp: "For example, my dad kicked my ass and kicked me into the air, and I could still get up, ran to him and laughed and apologized, you always kicked it right, kicked me!" Are you cool, do you want to come again?"
"My dad never kicked my ass," Mu Xuanying recalled. "He said no matter what I did, he believed that I was right."
"Your father never beat you, I'm so envious," Li Wuyi squinted and sighed, then shook his head, "No, why is your baby so upright? The point is not to kick ass! The point is, even if someone scolds you and mocks you, If you are beaten to no avail, you can also laugh it off, don't take it to heart, and continue to love whatever you want!"
Mu Xuanying wiped her chin with the back of her hand: "What do you mean by telling me this?"
Li Wuyi swallowed, and said falteringly: "I have worked with Xiao Baiyan before, in the last play, I played her son."
Mu Xuanying's eyes moved, this time, it was his turn to play Xiao Baiyan's son.
Li Wuyi shivered, spread his hands, and his shoulders slumped.
"I was crushed and I was defeated."
Judging from Li Wuyi's description, Goddess Xiao Baiyan is a ruthless devil, a ruthless workaholic, with straight eyebrows and straight eyes, the female version of Zhong Kui.
Even though she had known this new friend for a short time, Mu Xuanying could see that he couldn't take his words seriously and had to discount them.What's more, judging from Xiao Baiyan's screen image in the past, most of the female characters are gentle, virtuous, and patient.
Not long after he got the shooting schedule, Li Wuyi came to ring the alarm and told him that Xiao Baiyan's nanny car had already left the set, so he had to be more vigilant and don't be caught off guard.
Mu Xuanying laughed straight at his vivid expression, handed the schedule to Mo Caiwei, and went to say hello to Xiao Baiyan first.
He walked to the black nanny car and waited for the people inside to get off.
The car door opened, and a thin young girl stepped out with a satchel on her back. She was probably Xiao Baiyan's assistant.
After she got out of the car, she turned her head and closed the door, walked a few steps to stop, and raised her wrist to look at her watch.
Mu Xuanying couldn't wait for the second person to get out of the nanny's car, so she walked up to the girl and asked, "Hi, is Teacher Xiao there?"
The girl raised her head suddenly, with a vigilant look on her face: "Who are you?" She quickly recognized Mu Xuanying's face, "Oh it's you, do you have anything to do with Teacher Xiao?"
"Uh," the other party's attitude was cold, and Mu Xuanying couldn't help being surprised, "I want to say hello to Teacher Xiao, and I will have a scene with her in the afternoon, so I want to ask if we should match the words first."
"No need," the girl said bluntly, "don't worry, she knows that she will be filming in the afternoon, and she has already memorized the lines. The teacher rushed over just after getting off the plane and is resting. You'd better not disturb her."
"Oh, yes," Mu Xuanying said dryly, "Thank you, sorry to bother you."
Li Wuyi asked him why he was thick-skinned enough, and he felt it a little bit.
At 03:30 in the afternoon, Xiao Baiyan walked into the set, wearing a simple white-bottomed light blue rhombic dress, with slender eyebrows and eyes, straight nose bridge, round lips, forehead hair neatly combed back, revealing a small and beautiful tip.Her walking posture is calm and elegant, like a noble lady who has been pampered all the year round.
Seeing her, Mu Xuanying's first reaction was that this didn't fit well with Tian Xiaoli who raised Tao Jue so hard in the script, it was like asking a rich lady who drives a luxury car to ride a tricycle.
He exchanged this opinion with Li Wuyi, and Li Wuyi sighed and patted him on the shoulder: "Wait a minute before the eyeballs fall out."
Just as she was talking, Xiao Baiyan came out of the dressing room, Mu Xuanying raised her eyes and was speechless.
She was dressed in white-washed coarse shirt and trousers, with a bun casually tied on the back of her head, broken hair hanging from the side of her face, her complexion was yellow and black, and her skin was rough and dull. These may all be due to styling and makeup, but the most let Surprisingly, her whole demeanor changed.
The back is slightly bent, the shoulders are shrunk, listless, and the eyes are timid when looking at people. It can be seen that the life is very hard and the people live at the bottom.
In the unit story "Mother and Son", when Tian Xiaoli appeared on the stage, he was such a timid and shy person, hard-working, soft-spoken, and extremely unconfident.What really changed her was her son's crime.At the moment when she was determined to take the blame for her son, she straightened her back, and her whole body glowed with a terrifyingly persistent power.
Xiao Baiyan, no, Tian Xiaoli walked over slowly, brushed past Mu Xuanying, went into the house one after another, lit a fire to cook.
Her son is coming back from school, with a drowsy mind and a hungry stomach after a day of test questions, she wants to feed him, let him study well, and get into a good university , find a good job with a future, marry a beautiful and virtuous wife, live a good life freely, don't be like her, live so hard, your son must not be like her, absolutely not...
"Tao Jue is ready!"
Mu Xuanying was awakened by the shout, and ran all the way to the outside of the house, and found the prop bicycle placed there.
He gripped the handlebars, his chest heaving, his heart beating fast.
How does it feel after killing someone?What's it like to kill your best friend by mistake?What feelings do you have to show other than fear?
When Tao Jue returned home, he threw away his bicycle, rushed into the room and got under the blanket, hiding under the blanket, his eyes wide open, his whole body was cold and trembling.
His mother would come in and care about her son, and then, and then, would the mother see it?
Would it be obvious that her son had just killed someone?
The lines flashed in front of my eyes, as fast as lightning, bright and dazzling, and captivating.
Her throat was congested, and Mu Xuanying's palms holding the handlebars were sweating.
He was waiting, waiting for the moment when he let go and swung the bicycle heavily to the ground.
"Action!"
***
The stomach pouch is full of gravel, grinding the stomach wall with every step.The air breathed into the nose is moist, forming a clammy barrier at the throat.The ear automatically turns on the filter function, which isolates all the noisy sounds in the world, and only plays the agitation in the atrium infinitely, echoing in an invisible closed space...
Boom, boom, boom, boom...
The sound of heartbeat, or the sound of footsteps, rhythmically knocked on the top of the head, never leaving, like a shadow.
In the blink of an eye, he had run into the house.He ran like a blind man, tripped on the threshold, and the sharp pain in his shin made him burst into tears.
A chair fell to the ground with a bang, and after he pushed it hard, he had no patience to help the chair up.
He got into the room, locked the door, shivered under the blanket.
Someone knocked on the door outside: Pengpeng, Pengpeng?
Pengpeng was his nickname, he had forgotten it, and didn't realize it was calling him at all.
He covered his ears, closed his eyes, and a salty taste came out of his mouth, like a green-skinned pineapple sprinkled with thick salt, stuffed into his mouth.
The key turns in the lock, clicks—
Someone came in, sat by his bed, and sighed carefully, as if he was afraid that he would be angry when he heard the sigh, and then the female voice flinched: Pengpeng, what's wrong with you?
He covered his ears more tightly, he didn't want to speak, he didn't want to hear, he really wanted to lose his sensory ability in an instant, exile himself to a place where he couldn't hear or see, and didn't need to receive any information.
However, the female voice didn't let him go: What's the matter, you are unhappy, can't you tell your mother?Did you lose your temper with your classmates, or did your teacher criticize you?Mom made braised fish today. It's your favorite food. Let's get up and have a meal first, Pengpeng...
The nagging babbled into his ears, and no matter how tightly he covered his ears, he could still hear them.In the bewildered and confused heart, a burst of anger was suddenly provoked, and the flames rose up, burning so depressed and manic.
I'm so bored!
He threw off the quilt and jumped up from the bed, without even looking at the woman sitting in front of him, he got out of bed and wanted to escape out the door.
The woman exclaimed: Your legs!
He lowered his head and saw a black, purple and blue patch under his knee, he held his throat, as if someone was holding his heart tightly, with a crying voice in his throat, he shouted: Leave me alone!
The woman stood up, rushed to the door, closed the door, and leaned against the back of the door, with her hands outstretched to cover her, as if afraid that he would run away, her eye circles suddenly turned red: I don't care who cares about you!
He raised his head, his eyes were strange and cold, which made her shiver.
The two stared at each other. It had been a long time since they observed each other carefully like today.
Silence filled the room like smog, and the air was pulled out little by little, breathing gradually became difficult, and the hearts of the pair of mother and son who met each other were sinking.
She blinked, her waist straightened slowly, and she stood like a flagpole, her momentum gradually rising, majestic, like an irresistible authority.
She lifted her chin slightly and spit out a word: Say.
It was his turn to be at a disadvantage, his hands and feet were weak, he rubbed back, and fell down on the bed.
mom……
It was as if someone was choking his throat, every word was exhausted, and his teeth chattered coldly.
...I killed people.
***
Li Wuyi strolled around, holding a glass of iced orange and lemon in one hand.
Wearing a dark blue basketball vest and beige shorts, he walked to the dressing room where Mu Xuanying was, stepping on hiking shoes.
"You're thirsty, come and drink some water." He handed over the cold drink and realized it later, "Oh my god, what's wrong with your legs!"
The little nurse who was squatting in front of Mu Xuanying raised her head and glared at him: "Don't make noise!"
As soon as she turned her head, the little nurse softened her tone several times, and said to Mu Xuanying, "Remember to apply ice, and ask your assistant to apply safflower oil on you after 24 hours. Don't apply hot compresses, or you will get swollen."
Waiting for Mu Xuanying to hold down the ice pack, the little nurse began to pack the medical first aid kit, pouting while tidying up: "If you are in severe pain, let Sister Caiwei come to me, if it doesn't work, let the crew send you to the hospital, don't hold on , the joints are the easiest to age, don't take it seriously because of your youth."
"Well, okay, I'm sorry to trouble you." Mu Xuanying nodded in a good-tempered manner.
The little nurse walked to the door, turned around and explained again: "Remember, apply ice, don't apply heat."
Mu Xuanying smiled and waved at her.
Li Wuyi, who was the background board for the whole time, pulled a chair and sat down, his eyes were full of meaning: "The peach blossoms are very prosperous, brother."
"Don't talk nonsense, they came to see the injury," Mu Xuanying removed the ice pack and looked at the injury, "I accidentally fell while filming just now, it's fine."
Li Wuyi paused for a moment: "How did you fall?"
"Just... when I ran into the house," Mu Xuanying smiled, "Maybe I ran too fast and didn't pay attention."
Li Wuyi silenced his voice again, and said after a while: "You are too hardworking."
Mu Xuanying lowered his head, and the white sun protection jacket with blue border slipped off his shoulders. He grabbed the jacket with the hand that was not holding the ice pack: "Do me a favor, take off the ice pack, I'll put on some clothes."
Li Wuyi took the ice pack and smacked his teeth repeatedly: "Oh, it's so cold."
Mu Xuanying put on the sleeves of the sun protection suit, straightened the hood behind her neck, and put the ice pack on again.
He hangs his head, with no desire to speak.
Seeing him like this, Li Wuyi couldn't find anything to say for a while.
Mo Caiwei pushed the door open and entered, and said in a low voice, "Boss, Teacher Xiao is coming this way, he should be looking for you."
Li Wuyi jumped up immediately: "I have a psychological shadow, I will flash first, and I will come to express my condolences later, goodbye!"
Chi slipped out and ran away without a trace.
Mo Caiwei grabbed the door frame and looked outside: "She came here alone, I guess she wanted to talk to you alone, I'll go first too," she looked at Mu Xuanying's leg, "I must be uncomfortable Call me, I'm next door."
She backed out and closed the door behind her.
The ice cubes melted a little, leaving two streams of water along the legs, which flowed into Mu Xuanying's shoes and socks.
He picked up the dry towel on the back of the chair, wiped the water stains on his legs, then wrapped the ice pack into the towel, and stuck it to the bruise.
Someone pushed open the door and stood there looking at him.
Mu Xuanying clutched the ice pack, raised her head: "Mr. Xiao?"
He tried to stand up, but the other party waved his hand and said, "Sit down, don't get up."
Xiao Baiyan took off her makeup and was still wearing a costume. Her long hair was let down, and the ends of her hair were curled into beautiful arcs.She brushed her hair back to one shoulder, walked into the dressing room, pulled up a chair nearby, and sat down opposite Mu Xuanying with a distance of one meter.
After she sat down, Mu Xuanying noticed that she was holding a sky-blue thermos in her hand, and the nails on the fingers holding the thermos were short.
"I received a call from Director Yang just after I finished my nails." Xiao Baiyan curled his fingers, blew on the gathered fingertips, and said calmly, "For filming, I cut everything."
Mu Xuanying's eyelashes moved, and he just took a look, so that the other party knew what he was paying attention to.
"Does it hurt?" Xiao Baiyan asked.
"fine……"
"I guess it hurts. You fell hard. It's such a big piece. I forgot the words when I saw it." Xiao Baiyan unscrewed the cup and took a sip of water.
Mu Xuanying moved her legs uncomfortably.
During filming, Xiao Baiyan suddenly asked about his legs, which should have been absent from the script.He was immersed in anxious emotions at the time, and subconsciously responded, leave me alone!
The director didn't call to stop all the time, so he just kept filming like this. After filming this section, he didn't ask them to reshoot, as if he had acquiesced.
At that time Mu Xuanying was still relieved, but now hearing Xiao Baiyan's words aroused his faint uneasiness.
Aside from his uneasiness, he also suspected that Xiao Baiyan would forget his words?Or in that situation, she showed the most appropriate reaction. How could a mother not feel distressed or anxious when seeing her son injured, and would not even ask?
"Lao Yang knew I was busy, so he asked me to set a schedule." Xiao Baiyan didn't care whether Mu Xuanying said or not, he just wanted to speak freely, "I made a request to him, asking him to put Tian Xiaoli and Tao Jue's first meeting together. Changed it to this scene." She closed the lid of the cup and said calmly, "It's also your first scene in the group."
Xiao Baiyan raised her eyelids, her lips moved slightly, and a question floated out.
"How do you feel?"
Mo Caiwei and Li Wuyi entered the house step by step, and found that Mu Xuanying's condition was not quite right.
If it was just a little trance before, now it seems to have lost its soul.
The two surrounded Mu Xuanying and exchanged worried looks.
Li Wuyi shook his head and sighed: "It's over, another one is hung up, the old monster is so scary."
Mo Caiwei said: "Bah, don't curse my boss." She lowered her head and whispered to Mu Xuanying, "Let's go eat first, I'll help you there?"
Li Wuyi clapped his hands: "That's right, let's eat first. There is no trouble that can't be solved by eating a big meal. If there is, then eat a few more meals."
Mo Caiwei cooperated and said: "Young Master Li is right, I have seen it all, the food is good, there are fish, shrimp and watermelon."
Mu Xuanying suddenly raised his hand and patted the other shoulder. As if he remembered something, he pursed his lips and laughed: "The box lunch of "Once Upon a Time in Yancheng" is quite delicious."
The two people around him said in unison: "That's right! Let's go and eat!"
Chopsticks picked up a shrimp ball and put it into her mouth, chewing slowly, although Mu Xuanying was preoccupied, she also tasted something.
Fresh, bouncy and salty.
There was another taste in his mouth, which continued to be bitter, more numb than swallowing a handful of peppercorns.
Before Xiao Baiyan left, she said to him: I believe in Director Yang's vision in casting roles, but I am the one who will play Tian Xiaoli.The reason why this scene was filmed in the first scene was to observe the actor playing Tao Jue.
If he disappoints me, there is still time to make a substitution.
***
"Hey, aren't you kidding me? Director Cao just said that he wants to re-shoot the location?"
After saying a few words at the other end, Mo Yu pulled the leaves of the iron tree in the bonsai and lazily replied: "Tell me, where are you going to shoot?"
When the other party reported a place name, he stopped his fingertips and placed them on the leaves, with a smile on his eyes: "Okay, no problem, contact my assistant to make an appointment."
He turned around, walked towards the overly large office, and sent a message to Young Master Liu.
Seeing him enter the door, Mo Hongni stood up and took off the earphones in her ears: "The ticket is booked, the plane at 10:30 tomorrow morning, I will go with the young master, do you want to book a ticket for Rongrong?"
"No, let her take a vacation," Mo Yu pondered, "It's been raining in City H for the past two days, which will affect the shooting."
"Director Cao said that the arrangements have been made, and we can shoot even if it rains, so there will be no delay."
Mo Yu raised her lips: "I'm not talking about "Wu Ding He"."
"That's..." It was rare for Mo Hongni to be stupid, so she thought again, "Ah!"
Mo Yu raised his eyebrows: "Ah what?"
Mo Hongni took a step back, with an innocent face: "I'm stupid, if the young master doesn't explain it clearly, I definitely don't."
Mo Yu leaned back against the table, and said with a half smile but not a smile: "It's good if you don't understand, if you understand too much, I'm going to silence you."
Mo Hongni silently took two steps back.
"Don't hide, hurry up and ask Caiwei, if there is anything she needs, we will take it there for her."
Mo Hongni quickly dialed Mo Caiwei's number under Mo Yu's staring gaze, but no one answered after a long busy tone.
"I'm probably busy, I'll call her later," Mo Hongni mustered up her courage, "If the young master is impatient, you might as well...call Mr. Mu directly."
Mo Yu crossed his arms and looked from bottom to top, making Mo Hongni silent immediately.
impatient?How does he look anxious?
It's just that I haven't contacted Mu Xuanying for more than a week. Since the other party joined the group, he seemed to have disappeared. There was no news at all, and there was no movement on Weibo.
Before joining the group, Mu Xuanying posted a Weibo: I am going to film again, this time the role is very different from before, so I will keep it secret for now. [rabbit]
The accompanying picture is a photo of the left hand, with the index finger and middle finger spread out, making a comparison of the word Ye.
Mo Yu opened a comment, facing the vast ocean of Mu Xuanying's fans.
Compared with the bunch of cold-faced and obsessive comments on his Weibo, Mu Xuanying's comment section is simply too normal.
"Don't just shoot! We need to look at the face! Please take a selfie with Jiugongge!"
Mo Yu resisted the urge to like this post.
"As a girl, I feel intense jealousy! The little angel's hands are too beautiful! I really want to touch them~【Wipe saliva"
It looks good and feels good... For some reason, Mo Yu immediately remembered the id who wanted to touch Mu Xuanying's hand.
"The little angel has learned [tears] badly, and learned to whet the appetite...it doesn't matter! We love you even if you play an ugly and weird little boy like Mo Yu in "Moon Corner"!"
Mo Yu said it in his heart, he could be shot.
"I'm looking forward to it! The ball of wool is waiting for you to come back! [心][心][心][心]"
Mo Yu frowned, and put a question mark: What is a ball of wool?
He sent a private message to Unextinguishable Cigarettes' Weibo account: Do you know the ball of wool?
Instantaneously replied: I wipe it, how do you know this number is me.
Rainy_MO: ID.
Cigarette butts that can't be extinguished: Even if there is the word "cigarette" in the ID, it may not be me!You got the wrong person!
Rainy_MO: IQ...
Unextinguishable cigarette butt: ... Are you mocking me?
Rainy_MO: Yes.
Rainy_MO: Look at your Weibo, the first one.
Cigarette Butts That Can't Be Put Out's first Weibo post was a forwarding of the Male Star Appearance Vote held by Fashion Weekly.
Brother Yantou said: I think Unextinguishable Smoke is more masculine than Mo Yu. What's so good about a bear man like Mo Yu with empty muscles? Unextinguishable Smoke is the real good-looking handsome guy. If you agree, please give me a thumbs up!
The cigarette butt that can't be extinguished: ... Hi, you can see this.God, I was wrong!In fact, I am laughing at myself, ignore me, let me lead the dog quietly.
Mo Yu decided to bring back the topic, and asked again: Balls of wool?
There was no reply to his private message, so Buquerah simply called.
"The ball of wool is the collective name of the fan group of your sweetheart. His nickname is Mao Mao, and the fans are naturally called Xiaomaoxian." The mouth of the immortal cigarette seemed to be chewing, and the voice was vague, "Well, I didn't say that. Ah, you don't care about him too much, you don't even know what his nickname is, no wonder the relationship still stays as a friend~friend~"
"I already know his nickname, why do I need to get to know the fans?" Mo Yu said, "He lives downstairs from me."
After getting acquainted with Mu Xuanying, Mo Yu never thought of searching for his information on the Internet. Let me ask, when you interact with others, is the second-hand information on the Internet more reliable, or face-to-face communication is more in-depth?
What's more, the Internet is a hodgepodge of scandals and gossips, true and false. Who knows what to believe and what not to believe?
The Mu Xuanying that Mo Yu knew was someone he had talked with and touched at close range, and he believed in his own observation and judgment even more.
"I think Mu Xuanying will be attacked by you at night one day..." Buquerting Smoke finished muttering in a low voice, and before Mo Yu could hear him, he hurriedly said, "Don't underestimate the fans! Their enthusiasm is terrifying, don't play tricks Too much." At this point, he paused, swallowed the food in his mouth, and spoke clearly and quickly when he spoke again, "Oh, I remembered, didn't I tell you that there was something good to show you last time Is it? Wait a moment, I will send you the address, you must read it, it will be a pity if you don’t read it~”
It's okay if he doesn't say anything, but when he says it, Mo Yu really doesn't want to see it too much.
The cigarette butt that can't be extinguished sent a link to Rainy_MO, and attached a recommendation: You two are so touching, I cried...
you two?
who?
Mo Yuxin
Mu Xuanying turned sideways to give way to a field worker holding a reflector.
There was something strange under his feet, as if he had hit something hard. When he raised his feet, he saw that it was a branch of a cherry tree.
Mo Caiwei also saw it, and said regretfully: "The cherry season is over, I can't eat any more."
Mu Xuanying smiled and said, "Isn't there still in the supermarket? If you want to eat, go buy it. I invite you."
Mo Caiwei curled her lips and said, "The supermarket only has cherries, which are different from cherries."
She let out a long hum, and said with a smile: "Every family in my hometown planted cherry trees. Every March and April, there are pink cherry blossoms everywhere on the wall and river bank. The adults don't ask us to pick flowers, but say that a flower is A cherry. There is also a folk remedy, which is to rub the ears with cherry leaves and snow water, and the ears will not get frostbite, but you can no longer eat cherries. I would rather have frostbite than give up eating, poor year Chilblains don’t develop until you go to the north.”
City H is Mo Caiwei's hometown, and it is also the filming location of "Once Upon a Time in Yancheng".
Lacking pillar industries and unique tourism resources, City H's development speed is much slower than other economically developed cities, and it retains a lot of old-fashioned features.
There are many one-story houses with red bricks and gray tiles that have escaped demolition, and the shooting base has covered an entire street.One of the yards will become the home of Tian Xiaoli and Tao Jue, a mother and son.
After obtaining the consent of the head of the household, the props were moved in one by one, and a home was rearranged.
Mu Xuanying stepped over the threshold, looked up, and saw a few photos of herself when she was a child put in photo frames and placed on the cabinet.The photo has been processed to look thin and faded, giving it a sense of antiquatedness that has gone through real years.
"BOSS was so cute when he was a child!" Mo Caiwei took out her mobile phone and took continuous pictures, "His smile is so sweet, and his eyes are so bright."
She turned her head to look at the current Mu Xuanying, and was very relieved: "It's not crooked."
Compared with the pink and round dumplings in childhood, Mu Xuanying's eyebrows and eyes are still beautiful when she grows up, and she has transformed into a handsome man with smooth cheeks. When she smiles, it's like a breeze blowing through a clear spring.
Not only is it not long and crooked, it should be said that the longer it is, the more brilliant it is.
"Hey, let me take a look?"
A person poked his head out from behind them, looking straight at Mu Xuanying.
This man was wearing a black T-shirt with a big tiger's head painted on the front chest, and an orange baseball cap was buckled on his head. His round eyes looked Mu Xuanying up and down without any scruples.
Mu Xuanying felt uncomfortable being looked at by him, and didn't know who he was, so she could only ask: "Hi, may I ask you..."
The man stretched out his hand first, and said with a smile: "Hi, my name is Li Wuyi, and I'm playing Zhou Wenying, ah, that unlucky guy you accidentally pushed to death."
"...Pfft," Mu Xuanying took his hand back, "Hello, my name is Mu Xuanying, and I will play Tao Jue, the unlucky guy who accidentally pushed you to death."
The two looked at each other and laughed.
Li Wuyi wiped the corners of his eyes and wiped away the tears from laughter: "As soon as I saw the script, I thought, these two people have memorized too much, the one who died was wronged, and the one who murdered is also quite unlucky."
"Manslaughter is also murder," Mu Xuanying said, "Tao Jue should accept legal punishment."
Li Wuyi choked for a moment, fell silent for a while, and asked, "Let me confirm, you are really playing Tao Jue, aren't you a five-good young man from the criminal investigation team?"
Mu Xuanying raised one corner of her mouth, raised her chin, and made a gesture of wiping her neck: "Why, don't I look like this?"
Li Wuyi shook his head from left to right in slow motion: "It's not like that, I believe you are the young version of Yan Yun."
Mu Xuanying opened her eyes wide: "Mr. Luo Feng and I don't look alike at all."
Luo Feng played the role of Yan Yun, the captain of the criminal investigation team of the Yancheng Police Department in "Once Upon a Time in Yancheng".
Li Wuyi supported his forehead: "It's not the face, it's the temperament. You and Luo Feng were probably knights in ancient times, the kind who shouted when they saw injustice, and drew their swords to cut off the head of the wicked."
He glanced at Mu Xuanying, said with a smirk, "Do you know which role I auditioned for?"
"Who?"
Li Wuyi pointed at him with two index fingers: "It's you, brother! I want to play Tao Jue!"
Mu Xuanying was dumbfounded, how should he answer, I'm sorry I stole the role you wanted to play, or did I actually want to play the corpse or should we switch?
"Our audition may not be on the same day, I didn't see you," Li Wuyi began to complain, "Director Yang is so cruel, he said I have ADHD, so he just asked me to act as a corpse to see if it can be cured. Nodding desperately beside me, is it my own..."
"Your father?"
"My dad is the producer of "Once Upon a Time in Yancheng". Haven't you seen him, the oldest and most frustrated one?" Li Wuyi raised his hand excitedly.
Mu Xuanying: "..."
It seems really adopted.
Mo Caiwei who was on the side finally broke in: "Young Master Li, if Mr. Li hears you say that, it might be worse than playing a corpse next time."
"Be sure to keep it secret for me, Sister Caiwei." Li Wuyi winked.
"Hey, do you know each other?" Mu Xuanying blinked.
Mo Caiwei nodded and smiled happily: "I've seen it in other productions before. Young Master Li played a ruffian who molested little girls everywhere, and was thrown from one end of the street to the other by the young master hahahaha...uh."
She froze suddenly, with a big crap in her heart.
... exposed.
Li Wuyi rolled his eyes: "I dedicated my life to art. I'm not like the Great God. Only art has been dedicated to him."
Mu Xuanying was silent for a while, then turned to look at Mo Caiwei.
"I confess, I confess!" Mo Caiwei raised her hand, carefully observing Mu Xuanying's expression, "My last employer was Mo Yu."
Mu Xuanying was stunned. He was dumbfounded for a while, then frowned suddenly, and said in a low voice: "Didn't you say that these are all commercial secrets and cannot be disclosed?"
"I, I thought you knew..." Mo Caiwei paused, feeling stupid.
"I wanted to ask you something else," Mu Xuanying murmured, "If I interrupt now, forget it."
The fact that Mo Caiwei was Mo Yu's former assistant did not have a small impact on him. How could he have imagined that there was such an intersection between Mo Yu and Mo Yu.
"Sister Caiwei is Mo Yu's assistant, who doesn't know, it's still a secret," Li Wuyi looked at the two of them, "Hey, she is already your assistant?"
Everyone knows it, but Mu Xuanying doesn't.
His mind was a little confused, and he pressed his forehead: "Sorry, I'm a little tired, I'm going to drink some water."
As soon as he walked away, Li Wuyi asked: "What's the matter, he doesn't know that you are Mo Yu's assistant? The reaction is so big?"
Mo Caiwei looked left and right, pouted in the direction Mu Xuanying was walking, and said word by word: "Small, fish, dry."
"Aha, I got it," Li Wuyi suddenly realized, giggling happily, "It's too cute."
"Yeah, our boss is really cute!" Mo Caiwei said proudly.
***
On the morning of the third day after joining the group, Mu Xuanying received his shooting schedule.
The first page of the schedule shows that the filming of his first scene will officially start at [-] pm, and it will also be his first scene with Xiao Baiyan, the actor who plays Tian Xiaoli.
As soon as Mu Xuanying saw the scenes marked above, her heart skipped a beat.
In this scene, after Tao Jue killed his friend by mistake, he fled home in shock, and had a difficult conversation with his mother, who was questioned repeatedly.Even in the whole unit story, it is not a small climax.
After participating in two dramas, Mu Xuanying learned early that filming often does not follow the scene. For economic reasons and consideration of time balance, actors sometimes have to act in the climax part as soon as they come up, and then go to the plain and low-key filming. role.
However, the overall style of the dramas he acted in before did not have much ups and downs. When he played Wei Xuan, the biggest difficulty for senior high school students was the college entrance examination. Huanxi's enemies are repeatedly entangled in the emotional scene.
But in "Once Upon a Time in Yancheng", all past experience is useless.
For the past two days, he has been staying on the sidelines, watching the performances of other actors, observing all the way, the more he watched, the more frightened he became.
Every actor here has a wealth of acting experience. Even the old man who poured water on the criminal investigation team is a golden supporting role that has acted in dozens of plays.
The curvature of their lips, the expression in their eyes, the subtle changes in facial expressions, and the small movements of their limbs are all like precision-positioned instruments, which are extremely precise when they should be closed and released.
The scene that Mu Xuanying impressed the most was when Yan Yun, played by Luo Feng, sat alone in the interrogation room, lowered his head and lit a cigarette, slowly exhaled a smoke ring, rubbed his eyelids, and then glanced at the opposite side, as if Suddenly reacted, stubbed out the cigarette, and said apologetically: Sorry, I shouldn't smoke in front of ladies.
There was a trace of sympathy on his weary and vicissitudes face, but sympathy was mixed with suspicion: Ms. Tian, can I trouble you to say it again, starting from the time you asked Zhou Wenying to meet, do you still remember, how old are you? What day and what time did you see him?
He paused for a while, as if he was listening carefully, with a wry smile on his lips: I'm sorry, I'm really not wasting time. The real murderer ran away, and the good man was wronged.
Speaking of the last sentence, his smile gradually faded, his face gradually became solemn, and a sharp light shot out of his eyes, which was a kind of repressive firmness.
Mu Xuanying stared at him closely, until director Yang Ning called out, then he moved his gaze to the opposite of Luo Feng.
The chair opposite Luo Feng was empty.
From the beginning to the end, he was acting alone, but he performed the effect of two people, as if Tian Xiaoli was sitting opposite him, stubbornly resisting his scrutiny.
One tried to hide the truth in order to protect his son.
One is determined to investigate thoroughly in order to reveal the truth.
Luo Feng pulled back the chair, stood up, rubbed the back of his neck, looked up at Mu Xuanying, and smiled at him.Luo Feng's face is heroic, and when he doesn't smile, he has a kind of righteous and awe-inspiring alienation, but when he smiles, his expression is gentle and soft, which makes people want to get close involuntarily.
As soon as Mu Xuanying smiled back, she was dragged away by Li Wuyi.
Li Wuyi pulled him outside the police station, and said with a chuckle, "Even if Luo Feng is handsome, you wouldn't look stupid, would you?"
Mu Xuanying's attention was elsewhere: "In the scene just now, Tian Xiaoli should have been there, I remember it was in the script."
Li Wuyi shrugged: "The director must have his reasons for this arrangement. You can watch it after editing the film. It is estimated that when Goddess Xiao arrives, there will be another reshoot. I am sure no one will be able to see that they were filmed separately. These old people Monsters can perform a big show against stones, but if you look at the whole crew, we are the real ones."
Speaking of this, he looked at Mu Xuanying and said worriedly: "Xiao Mu, are you thick-skinned enough?"
Mu Xuanying touched her face subconsciously: "How thick is thick?"
Li Wuyi scratched his scalp: "For example, my dad kicked my ass and kicked me into the air, and I could still get up, ran to him and laughed and apologized, you always kicked it right, kicked me!" Are you cool, do you want to come again?"
"My dad never kicked my ass," Mu Xuanying recalled. "He said no matter what I did, he believed that I was right."
"Your father never beat you, I'm so envious," Li Wuyi squinted and sighed, then shook his head, "No, why is your baby so upright? The point is not to kick ass! The point is, even if someone scolds you and mocks you, If you are beaten to no avail, you can also laugh it off, don't take it to heart, and continue to love whatever you want!"
Mu Xuanying wiped her chin with the back of her hand: "What do you mean by telling me this?"
Li Wuyi swallowed, and said falteringly: "I have worked with Xiao Baiyan before, in the last play, I played her son."
Mu Xuanying's eyes moved, this time, it was his turn to play Xiao Baiyan's son.
Li Wuyi shivered, spread his hands, and his shoulders slumped.
"I was crushed and I was defeated."
Judging from Li Wuyi's description, Goddess Xiao Baiyan is a ruthless devil, a ruthless workaholic, with straight eyebrows and straight eyes, the female version of Zhong Kui.
Even though she had known this new friend for a short time, Mu Xuanying could see that he couldn't take his words seriously and had to discount them.What's more, judging from Xiao Baiyan's screen image in the past, most of the female characters are gentle, virtuous, and patient.
Not long after he got the shooting schedule, Li Wuyi came to ring the alarm and told him that Xiao Baiyan's nanny car had already left the set, so he had to be more vigilant and don't be caught off guard.
Mu Xuanying laughed straight at his vivid expression, handed the schedule to Mo Caiwei, and went to say hello to Xiao Baiyan first.
He walked to the black nanny car and waited for the people inside to get off.
The car door opened, and a thin young girl stepped out with a satchel on her back. She was probably Xiao Baiyan's assistant.
After she got out of the car, she turned her head and closed the door, walked a few steps to stop, and raised her wrist to look at her watch.
Mu Xuanying couldn't wait for the second person to get out of the nanny's car, so she walked up to the girl and asked, "Hi, is Teacher Xiao there?"
The girl raised her head suddenly, with a vigilant look on her face: "Who are you?" She quickly recognized Mu Xuanying's face, "Oh it's you, do you have anything to do with Teacher Xiao?"
"Uh," the other party's attitude was cold, and Mu Xuanying couldn't help being surprised, "I want to say hello to Teacher Xiao, and I will have a scene with her in the afternoon, so I want to ask if we should match the words first."
"No need," the girl said bluntly, "don't worry, she knows that she will be filming in the afternoon, and she has already memorized the lines. The teacher rushed over just after getting off the plane and is resting. You'd better not disturb her."
"Oh, yes," Mu Xuanying said dryly, "Thank you, sorry to bother you."
Li Wuyi asked him why he was thick-skinned enough, and he felt it a little bit.
At 03:30 in the afternoon, Xiao Baiyan walked into the set, wearing a simple white-bottomed light blue rhombic dress, with slender eyebrows and eyes, straight nose bridge, round lips, forehead hair neatly combed back, revealing a small and beautiful tip.Her walking posture is calm and elegant, like a noble lady who has been pampered all the year round.
Seeing her, Mu Xuanying's first reaction was that this didn't fit well with Tian Xiaoli who raised Tao Jue so hard in the script, it was like asking a rich lady who drives a luxury car to ride a tricycle.
He exchanged this opinion with Li Wuyi, and Li Wuyi sighed and patted him on the shoulder: "Wait a minute before the eyeballs fall out."
Just as she was talking, Xiao Baiyan came out of the dressing room, Mu Xuanying raised her eyes and was speechless.
She was dressed in white-washed coarse shirt and trousers, with a bun casually tied on the back of her head, broken hair hanging from the side of her face, her complexion was yellow and black, and her skin was rough and dull. These may all be due to styling and makeup, but the most let Surprisingly, her whole demeanor changed.
The back is slightly bent, the shoulders are shrunk, listless, and the eyes are timid when looking at people. It can be seen that the life is very hard and the people live at the bottom.
In the unit story "Mother and Son", when Tian Xiaoli appeared on the stage, he was such a timid and shy person, hard-working, soft-spoken, and extremely unconfident.What really changed her was her son's crime.At the moment when she was determined to take the blame for her son, she straightened her back, and her whole body glowed with a terrifyingly persistent power.
Xiao Baiyan, no, Tian Xiaoli walked over slowly, brushed past Mu Xuanying, went into the house one after another, lit a fire to cook.
Her son is coming back from school, with a drowsy mind and a hungry stomach after a day of test questions, she wants to feed him, let him study well, and get into a good university , find a good job with a future, marry a beautiful and virtuous wife, live a good life freely, don't be like her, live so hard, your son must not be like her, absolutely not...
"Tao Jue is ready!"
Mu Xuanying was awakened by the shout, and ran all the way to the outside of the house, and found the prop bicycle placed there.
He gripped the handlebars, his chest heaving, his heart beating fast.
How does it feel after killing someone?What's it like to kill your best friend by mistake?What feelings do you have to show other than fear?
When Tao Jue returned home, he threw away his bicycle, rushed into the room and got under the blanket, hiding under the blanket, his eyes wide open, his whole body was cold and trembling.
His mother would come in and care about her son, and then, and then, would the mother see it?
Would it be obvious that her son had just killed someone?
The lines flashed in front of my eyes, as fast as lightning, bright and dazzling, and captivating.
Her throat was congested, and Mu Xuanying's palms holding the handlebars were sweating.
He was waiting, waiting for the moment when he let go and swung the bicycle heavily to the ground.
"Action!"
***
The stomach pouch is full of gravel, grinding the stomach wall with every step.The air breathed into the nose is moist, forming a clammy barrier at the throat.The ear automatically turns on the filter function, which isolates all the noisy sounds in the world, and only plays the agitation in the atrium infinitely, echoing in an invisible closed space...
Boom, boom, boom, boom...
The sound of heartbeat, or the sound of footsteps, rhythmically knocked on the top of the head, never leaving, like a shadow.
In the blink of an eye, he had run into the house.He ran like a blind man, tripped on the threshold, and the sharp pain in his shin made him burst into tears.
A chair fell to the ground with a bang, and after he pushed it hard, he had no patience to help the chair up.
He got into the room, locked the door, shivered under the blanket.
Someone knocked on the door outside: Pengpeng, Pengpeng?
Pengpeng was his nickname, he had forgotten it, and didn't realize it was calling him at all.
He covered his ears, closed his eyes, and a salty taste came out of his mouth, like a green-skinned pineapple sprinkled with thick salt, stuffed into his mouth.
The key turns in the lock, clicks—
Someone came in, sat by his bed, and sighed carefully, as if he was afraid that he would be angry when he heard the sigh, and then the female voice flinched: Pengpeng, what's wrong with you?
He covered his ears more tightly, he didn't want to speak, he didn't want to hear, he really wanted to lose his sensory ability in an instant, exile himself to a place where he couldn't hear or see, and didn't need to receive any information.
However, the female voice didn't let him go: What's the matter, you are unhappy, can't you tell your mother?Did you lose your temper with your classmates, or did your teacher criticize you?Mom made braised fish today. It's your favorite food. Let's get up and have a meal first, Pengpeng...
The nagging babbled into his ears, and no matter how tightly he covered his ears, he could still hear them.In the bewildered and confused heart, a burst of anger was suddenly provoked, and the flames rose up, burning so depressed and manic.
I'm so bored!
He threw off the quilt and jumped up from the bed, without even looking at the woman sitting in front of him, he got out of bed and wanted to escape out the door.
The woman exclaimed: Your legs!
He lowered his head and saw a black, purple and blue patch under his knee, he held his throat, as if someone was holding his heart tightly, with a crying voice in his throat, he shouted: Leave me alone!
The woman stood up, rushed to the door, closed the door, and leaned against the back of the door, with her hands outstretched to cover her, as if afraid that he would run away, her eye circles suddenly turned red: I don't care who cares about you!
He raised his head, his eyes were strange and cold, which made her shiver.
The two stared at each other. It had been a long time since they observed each other carefully like today.
Silence filled the room like smog, and the air was pulled out little by little, breathing gradually became difficult, and the hearts of the pair of mother and son who met each other were sinking.
She blinked, her waist straightened slowly, and she stood like a flagpole, her momentum gradually rising, majestic, like an irresistible authority.
She lifted her chin slightly and spit out a word: Say.
It was his turn to be at a disadvantage, his hands and feet were weak, he rubbed back, and fell down on the bed.
mom……
It was as if someone was choking his throat, every word was exhausted, and his teeth chattered coldly.
...I killed people.
***
Li Wuyi strolled around, holding a glass of iced orange and lemon in one hand.
Wearing a dark blue basketball vest and beige shorts, he walked to the dressing room where Mu Xuanying was, stepping on hiking shoes.
"You're thirsty, come and drink some water." He handed over the cold drink and realized it later, "Oh my god, what's wrong with your legs!"
The little nurse who was squatting in front of Mu Xuanying raised her head and glared at him: "Don't make noise!"
As soon as she turned her head, the little nurse softened her tone several times, and said to Mu Xuanying, "Remember to apply ice, and ask your assistant to apply safflower oil on you after 24 hours. Don't apply hot compresses, or you will get swollen."
Waiting for Mu Xuanying to hold down the ice pack, the little nurse began to pack the medical first aid kit, pouting while tidying up: "If you are in severe pain, let Sister Caiwei come to me, if it doesn't work, let the crew send you to the hospital, don't hold on , the joints are the easiest to age, don't take it seriously because of your youth."
"Well, okay, I'm sorry to trouble you." Mu Xuanying nodded in a good-tempered manner.
The little nurse walked to the door, turned around and explained again: "Remember, apply ice, don't apply heat."
Mu Xuanying smiled and waved at her.
Li Wuyi, who was the background board for the whole time, pulled a chair and sat down, his eyes were full of meaning: "The peach blossoms are very prosperous, brother."
"Don't talk nonsense, they came to see the injury," Mu Xuanying removed the ice pack and looked at the injury, "I accidentally fell while filming just now, it's fine."
Li Wuyi paused for a moment: "How did you fall?"
"Just... when I ran into the house," Mu Xuanying smiled, "Maybe I ran too fast and didn't pay attention."
Li Wuyi silenced his voice again, and said after a while: "You are too hardworking."
Mu Xuanying lowered his head, and the white sun protection jacket with blue border slipped off his shoulders. He grabbed the jacket with the hand that was not holding the ice pack: "Do me a favor, take off the ice pack, I'll put on some clothes."
Li Wuyi took the ice pack and smacked his teeth repeatedly: "Oh, it's so cold."
Mu Xuanying put on the sleeves of the sun protection suit, straightened the hood behind her neck, and put the ice pack on again.
He hangs his head, with no desire to speak.
Seeing him like this, Li Wuyi couldn't find anything to say for a while.
Mo Caiwei pushed the door open and entered, and said in a low voice, "Boss, Teacher Xiao is coming this way, he should be looking for you."
Li Wuyi jumped up immediately: "I have a psychological shadow, I will flash first, and I will come to express my condolences later, goodbye!"
Chi slipped out and ran away without a trace.
Mo Caiwei grabbed the door frame and looked outside: "She came here alone, I guess she wanted to talk to you alone, I'll go first too," she looked at Mu Xuanying's leg, "I must be uncomfortable Call me, I'm next door."
She backed out and closed the door behind her.
The ice cubes melted a little, leaving two streams of water along the legs, which flowed into Mu Xuanying's shoes and socks.
He picked up the dry towel on the back of the chair, wiped the water stains on his legs, then wrapped the ice pack into the towel, and stuck it to the bruise.
Someone pushed open the door and stood there looking at him.
Mu Xuanying clutched the ice pack, raised her head: "Mr. Xiao?"
He tried to stand up, but the other party waved his hand and said, "Sit down, don't get up."
Xiao Baiyan took off her makeup and was still wearing a costume. Her long hair was let down, and the ends of her hair were curled into beautiful arcs.She brushed her hair back to one shoulder, walked into the dressing room, pulled up a chair nearby, and sat down opposite Mu Xuanying with a distance of one meter.
After she sat down, Mu Xuanying noticed that she was holding a sky-blue thermos in her hand, and the nails on the fingers holding the thermos were short.
"I received a call from Director Yang just after I finished my nails." Xiao Baiyan curled his fingers, blew on the gathered fingertips, and said calmly, "For filming, I cut everything."
Mu Xuanying's eyelashes moved, and he just took a look, so that the other party knew what he was paying attention to.
"Does it hurt?" Xiao Baiyan asked.
"fine……"
"I guess it hurts. You fell hard. It's such a big piece. I forgot the words when I saw it." Xiao Baiyan unscrewed the cup and took a sip of water.
Mu Xuanying moved her legs uncomfortably.
During filming, Xiao Baiyan suddenly asked about his legs, which should have been absent from the script.He was immersed in anxious emotions at the time, and subconsciously responded, leave me alone!
The director didn't call to stop all the time, so he just kept filming like this. After filming this section, he didn't ask them to reshoot, as if he had acquiesced.
At that time Mu Xuanying was still relieved, but now hearing Xiao Baiyan's words aroused his faint uneasiness.
Aside from his uneasiness, he also suspected that Xiao Baiyan would forget his words?Or in that situation, she showed the most appropriate reaction. How could a mother not feel distressed or anxious when seeing her son injured, and would not even ask?
"Lao Yang knew I was busy, so he asked me to set a schedule." Xiao Baiyan didn't care whether Mu Xuanying said or not, he just wanted to speak freely, "I made a request to him, asking him to put Tian Xiaoli and Tao Jue's first meeting together. Changed it to this scene." She closed the lid of the cup and said calmly, "It's also your first scene in the group."
Xiao Baiyan raised her eyelids, her lips moved slightly, and a question floated out.
"How do you feel?"
Mo Caiwei and Li Wuyi entered the house step by step, and found that Mu Xuanying's condition was not quite right.
If it was just a little trance before, now it seems to have lost its soul.
The two surrounded Mu Xuanying and exchanged worried looks.
Li Wuyi shook his head and sighed: "It's over, another one is hung up, the old monster is so scary."
Mo Caiwei said: "Bah, don't curse my boss." She lowered her head and whispered to Mu Xuanying, "Let's go eat first, I'll help you there?"
Li Wuyi clapped his hands: "That's right, let's eat first. There is no trouble that can't be solved by eating a big meal. If there is, then eat a few more meals."
Mo Caiwei cooperated and said: "Young Master Li is right, I have seen it all, the food is good, there are fish, shrimp and watermelon."
Mu Xuanying suddenly raised his hand and patted the other shoulder. As if he remembered something, he pursed his lips and laughed: "The box lunch of "Once Upon a Time in Yancheng" is quite delicious."
The two people around him said in unison: "That's right! Let's go and eat!"
Chopsticks picked up a shrimp ball and put it into her mouth, chewing slowly, although Mu Xuanying was preoccupied, she also tasted something.
Fresh, bouncy and salty.
There was another taste in his mouth, which continued to be bitter, more numb than swallowing a handful of peppercorns.
Before Xiao Baiyan left, she said to him: I believe in Director Yang's vision in casting roles, but I am the one who will play Tian Xiaoli.The reason why this scene was filmed in the first scene was to observe the actor playing Tao Jue.
If he disappoints me, there is still time to make a substitution.

"Hey, aren't you kidding me? Director Cao just said that he wants to re-shoot the location?"
After saying a few words at the other end, Mo Yu pulled the leaves of the iron tree in the bonsai and lazily replied: "Tell me, where are you going to shoot?"
When the other party reported a place name, he stopped his fingertips and placed them on the leaves, with a smile on his eyes: "Okay, no problem, contact my assistant to make an appointment."
He turned around, walked towards the overly large office, and sent a message to Young Master Liu.
Seeing him enter the door, Mo Hongni stood up and took off the earphones in her ears: "The ticket is booked, the plane at 10:30 tomorrow morning, I will go with the young master, do you want to book a ticket for Rongrong?"
"No, let her take a vacation," Mo Yu pondered, "It's been raining in City H for the past two days, which will affect the shooting."
"Director Cao said that the arrangements have been made, and we can shoot even if it rains, so there will be no delay."
Mo Yu raised her lips: "I'm not talking about "Wu Ding He"."
"That's..." It was rare for Mo Hongni to be stupid, so she thought again, "Ah!"
Mo Yu raised his eyebrows: "Ah what?"
Mo Hongni took a step back, with an innocent face: "I'm stupid, if the young master doesn't explain it clearly, I definitely don't."
Mo Yu leaned back against the table, and said with a half smile but not a smile: "It's good if you don't understand, if you understand too much, I'm going to silence you."
Mo Hongni silently took two steps back.
"Don't hide, hurry up and ask Caiwei, if there is anything she needs, we will take it there for her."
Mo Hongni quickly dialed Mo Caiwei's number under Mo Yu's staring gaze, but no one answered after a long busy tone.
"I'm probably busy, I'll call her later," Mo Hongni mustered up her courage, "If the young master is impatient, you might as well...call Mr. Mu directly."
Mo Yu crossed his arms and looked from bottom to top, making Mo Hongni silent immediately.
impatient?How does he look anxious?
It's just that I haven't contacted Mu Xuanying for more than a week. Since the other party joined the group, he seemed to have disappeared. There was no news at all, and there was no movement on Weibo.
Before joining the group, Mu Xuanying posted a Weibo: I am going to film again, this time the role is very different from before, so I will keep it secret for now. [rabbit]
The accompanying picture is a photo of the left hand, with the index finger and middle finger spread out, making a comparison of the word Ye.
Mo Yu opened a comment, facing the vast ocean of Mu Xuanying's fans.
Compared with the bunch of cold-faced and obsessive comments on his Weibo, Mu Xuanying's comment section is simply too normal.
"Don't just shoot! We need to look at the face! Please take a selfie with Jiugongge!"
Mo Yu resisted the urge to like this post.
"As a girl, I feel intense jealousy! The little angel's hands are too beautiful! I really want to touch them~【Wipe saliva"
It looks good and feels good... For some reason, Mo Yu immediately remembered the id who wanted to touch Mu Xuanying's hand.
"The little angel has learned [tears] badly, and learned to whet the appetite...it doesn't matter! We love you even if you play an ugly and weird little boy like Mo Yu in "Moon Corner"!"
Mo Yu said it in his heart, he could be shot.
"I'm looking forward to it! The ball of wool is waiting for you to come back! [心][心][心][心]"
Mo Yu frowned, and put a question mark: What is a ball of wool?
He sent a private message to Unextinguishable Cigarettes' Weibo account: Do you know the ball of wool?
Instantaneously replied: I wipe it, how do you know this number is me.
Rainy_MO: ID.
Cigarette butts that can't be extinguished: Even if there is the word "cigarette" in the ID, it may not be me!You got the wrong person!
Rainy_MO: IQ...
Unextinguishable cigarette butt: ... Are you mocking me?
Rainy_MO: Yes.
Rainy_MO: Look at your Weibo, the first one.
Cigarette Butts That Can't Be Put Out's first Weibo post was a forwarding of the Male Star Appearance Vote held by Fashion Weekly.
Brother Yantou said: I think Unextinguishable Smoke is more masculine than Mo Yu. What's so good about a bear man like Mo Yu with empty muscles? Unextinguishable Smoke is the real good-looking handsome guy. If you agree, please give me a thumbs up!
The cigarette butt that can't be extinguished: ... Hi, you can see this.God, I was wrong!In fact, I am laughing at myself, ignore me, let me lead the dog quietly.
Mo Yu decided to bring back the topic, and asked again: Balls of wool?
There was no reply to his private message, so Buquerah simply called.
"The ball of wool is the collective name of the fan group of your sweetheart. His nickname is Mao Mao, and the fans are naturally called Xiaomaoxian." The mouth of the immortal cigarette seemed to be chewing, and the voice was vague, "Well, I didn't say that. Ah, you don't care about him too much, you don't even know what his nickname is, no wonder the relationship still stays as a friend~friend~"
"I already know his nickname, why do I need to get to know the fans?" Mo Yu said, "He lives downstairs from me."
After getting acquainted with Mu Xuanying, Mo Yu never thought of searching for his information on the Internet. Let me ask, when you interact with others, is the second-hand information on the Internet more reliable, or face-to-face communication is more in-depth?
What's more, the Internet is a hodgepodge of scandals and gossips, true and false. Who knows what to believe and what not to believe?
The Mu Xuanying that Mo Yu knew was someone he had talked with and touched at close range, and he believed in his own observation and judgment even more.
"I think Mu Xuanying will be attacked by you at night one day..." Buquerting Smoke finished muttering in a low voice, and before Mo Yu could hear him, he hurriedly said, "Don't underestimate the fans! Their enthusiasm is terrifying, don't play tricks Too much." At this point, he paused, swallowed the food in his mouth, and spoke clearly and quickly when he spoke again, "Oh, I remembered, didn't I tell you that there was something good to show you last time Is it? Wait a moment, I will send you the address, you must read it, it will be a pity if you don’t read it~”
It's okay if he doesn't say anything, but when he says it, Mo Yu really doesn't want to see it too much.
The cigarette butt that can't be extinguished sent a link to Rainy_MO, and attached a recommendation: You two are so touching, I cried...
you two?
who?
Mo Yuxin
