Chapter 28: Yu Shu
When she returned, it was almost evening, Aunt Fang was preparing dinner in the kitchen, Lulu was eating with her iPad in her arms, and there was a newspaper next to her.
When Lulu saw her coming back, she turned her head and shouted in the direction of the kitchen, "Aunt Fang, come back, is the chestnut cake ready?"
Aunt Fang leaned out half of her body from the kitchen, "That's fine, wait a little longer." ”
She went upstairs to change her clothes and sat next to Lulu, and there was a big photo of herself and Hehui on the newspaper spread out on the coffee table, the photo was on the set of "Providence", Hechen leaned over to read a script with her, although the two of them had serious expressions, they seemed very close because of the angle.
The big title on the photo: Is it "Providence" or "Providence"?
If it weren't for the fact that he and He Chen's names in the play have the words 'Tian' and 'Yi' respectively, I really couldn't understand the meaning of the title at first glance.
Lulu saw that she was looking at the photos in the newspaper, and knew that she didn't like to watch these gossip news, and was about to put it away, but she took the initiative to say: "Every time I see these reports, I know which drama is about to be broadcast during the promotion period." ”
Lulu was happy while cleaning up, "That's not it, I usually can't dig up any gossip about you, and the publicity period of the new drama doesn't let people report it well, and people have to work." ”
She handed her a few newspapers in her hand, and didn't speak again, she understood, how could she not understand, if everyone understood me, I understood you, the world would have been peaceful a long time ago.
There was a smell from the kitchen, she got up and went over, and sighed as she walked: "In addition to the chestnut cake, Aunt Fang must have made egg roll cakes." ”
Aunt Fang turned around with a shovel in one hand and a plate in the other, "The nose is getting smarter and smarter, just out of the pot, eat it while it's hot." ”
She reached out and took the dish and put it in front of her nose to smell it, then turned back to Lulu, who was still packing up the newspaper, and said, "Lulu come quickly, it's too late!"
Lulu, who was holding a dozen newspapers, exclaimed exaggeratedly, "Don't do this! Aunt Fang, I strongly ask to do more at a time in the future!"
When Lulu was taking a bath at night, Lulu knocked on the door and poked her head in and said: "I almost forgot, Sister Qiao said that the new drama was negotiated, and I will arrange time to take you to sign the contract, and Yu Shu's endorsement over there should be a promotional film, Sister Qiao said that there will be no time to wait for the new drama to start filming, it seems that she is going abroad to film, so I rushed to shoot a promotional film before starting the film, it should be in these two days, and I will go to the company tomorrow to confirm." ”
She nodded, and Lulu suddenly said with a wicked smile: "Zhuan, you said that if I take a few photos now, will it be sold for a sky-high price?"
I couldn't help laughing, and then retracted my thoughts, this time the battle in the early stage of the play is so big, it is really rare for Qiao Lin to spend so much effort to fight for the role.
In this ever-changing industry, it is not uncommon to see news that has become popular overnight and fallen overnight, and she has become accustomed to all kinds of sudden news. In this world, every day and every moment, there are countless people who sharpen their heads and want to squeeze into this gorgeous and flashy circle.
As soon as she stepped in, she saw all kinds of life and choices in the scenery along the way, loyalty and betrayal, friends or enemies, often changing instantaneously, and no one could predict in advance.
She walked in, stood here, was pushed up to the clouds, and naturally had to endure wind, rain, thunder and lightning, this is a normal thing, she understands, she understands.
Another reason why she is reluctant to have too much contact with people in this circle is that from the bottom of her heart, she feels that she does not deserve to have the likes of so many fans, because she knows very well that the purpose of her coming here is not simple, she never wants to be an actor or a star, she is here just for one person, for her own selfishness, so she dare not accept so much like and respect, she is afraid that others will know her thoughts, after all, there are so many people who love acting who can't get these opportunities for themselves, and they will never even have the light she has。
Yu Shu is an ancient town that has not yet been fully developed, with a unique scenery, compared to those ancient towns that have been operating maturely, Yu Shu is like a girl raised in the deep boudoir as unknown. is a low-budget movie filming in S City, and needs a quiet town, so I found Yu Shu, who is not far from S City, and it is also because of this opportunity that the local developer found a business opportunity.
These things are all left to Qiao Lin to be in charge, and she only knows that she is the spokesperson of an ancient town, and it was not until she first came to the location that she knew that it was Yu Shu, the ancient town that carried her and his memories.
The world is too small to escape her memories.
Returning to Yu Shu, touching the scene and feelings, there were original memories everywhere, she avoided everywhere, and she was not in a good mood, so she naturally lost sleep. Originally, she thought that she could not think about the past events and reasons, but in the dead of night, she still couldn't get out of that labyrinth: she couldn't figure out why he suddenly changed his mind in the first place, why he left him so hastily and suddenly but insistently.
That beautiful ancient town like a paradise has become a place she misses but is afraid of.
A few days later, she and her team went to Yu Shulai to shoot the full version of the promotional video, she stood on the stone bridge in a cyan cheongsam, holding an oil-paper umbrella and looking into the distance. All the images in her eyes are stimulating the memories sealed in her heart.
"It's so beautiful, the picture is really good, change the scene, go take a break." ”
She retracted her gaze and thoughts, Lulu had already taken the oil-paper umbrella in her hand and put her coat on, the weather was not so warm, the temperature was not high, she was wearing a sleeveless cheongsam, it was really cold.
Lulu saw that she was still in a daze and asked, "Is your soul gone?"
She smiled slightly, didn't say anything, and walked down the stone bridge step by step.
The shooting has been very smooth, as long as the scenery is beautiful enough in this kind of promotional film, the picture is beautiful and the characters are moving, and Yu Shu's scenery is beautiful enough, especially when the smoke and rain are hazy, it has a unique flavor.
After the afternoon shooting, there was a period of rest, and when night fell, they had to shoot the night scene, and they were walking back, and they saw two people walking across the bridge from a distance, and when they looked at it, it was Chen Xi and Luo Jia.
"Zhuan!" Chen Xi greeted her warmly as usual after seeing her.
Chen Xi and Luo Jia are both in civilian clothes, or it should be said that they wrap themselves very tightly, and after chatting a few words, they know that the two of them are filming in the same group, just in the film and television base on the outskirts of S City, not far from here, it is rare to come to Yu Shu to eat fish after finishing work early and without night scenes. This is not surprising given the cheerful and enthusiastic personalities of both men.
Chen Xi is one of the first artists to sign a contract with Starlight International, and like Luo Jia, she entered the industry in high school, but she is filming directly, and Luo Jia is an advertisement. Chen Xi had acted in a lot of dramas before filming "Bihu Yuan", because he had to go to school and had been filming intermittently, and he never had a particularly outstanding masterpiece, and finally became popular with "Bihu Yuan".
Luo Jia and Yi Zhuan Xin are both artists under Xinyuan, and they have nothing to do with each other on weekdays, after all, they are artists of the same period, and they are both hot at the moment, although they are in different positions and scopes, and they are not the same type of female artists, so they will inevitably be compared by the media. Luo Jia has a cheerful temperament, and he will take the initiative to say hello when he sees him in the company, and he is a person who can be said to be indisputable, and the two have always been peaceful, but they are just nodding friends.
She wanted to go back to change her look, and the time was not enough, so she separated after chatting with the two of them for a few words, Chen Xi asked her to go back to T City to see her, and she agreed with a smile.
The night scene was filmed all night, and the next day the day ended again, and the promotional video basically ended. Lulu asked Lulu to book a ticket, and she had to go to the airport non-stop as soon as the time was over, and Lulu was very strange and said, "Zhuan, in fact, we don't have to be in such a hurry." ”
She didn't stop moving, "I'm a little tired and want to go back to rest early." ”
Lulu muttered quietly, "You can rest here, too." ”
She packed her things and went out of the car as if she hadn't heard it, and went straight to the airport.
She can escape from her dreams and memories, but she is destined to never escape the unchangeable trajectory of fate.
The Sino-Korean co-production drama "Behind the Lies", which has been preparing in a low-key manner in the early stage, has finally entered the final stage of preparation after meticulous revision of the script and the finalization of the actors. The male number one is Kim Jung-ho, a popular Korean artist in Asia, and the characters and action scenes in the play are tailor-made for him, and he himself started fitness and various training very early. The female number one originally hoped to be played by the cold and glamorous queen Han Yu, and Han Yu also said that she liked this mysterious character who was calm and smart and had unique skills and disguised her real identity under the profession of lawyer.
However, in the end, because Han Yu couldn't come back from the extension of the filming schedule abroad, he had to resign, so the producer looked for another candidate, and the twists and turns in the middle were naturally not a problem, and finally the producer felt that the overall temperament of Yan Lianxin was very suitable, and revised the positioning of the female number one Shen Min in the script, and only after everything was confirmed that she was decided.
Han Yu is a maverick and glamorous queen, and she is a low-key and mysterious goddess of temperament.
As soon as the news came out, it naturally became the focus of the media's pursuit. Han Yu couldn't be contacted abroad at all, and Qiao Lin also chose to avoid it to satisfy the appetite of the media.
In the living room, Lulu habitually flipped through the report, and there were words in her mouth: "Although there is only one word difference between the queen and the goddess, the meaning is really much worse, Han Yu is indeed beautiful, but my family's style is different, what is comparable." ”
In the dining room, while eating breakfast, she listened to Lulu talk to herself, put down her glass and took a free hand to look at her phone, and a text message from Jolene told her that she was going to work today. She replied with a "yes" and put down her phone, with Lulu by her side, even if she never went to the company, never watched TV or surfed the Internet, she was not afraid of not knowing all kinds of things.
At this time, let her go to the company, it should be about "Behind the Lies", there will be no problem with Jolene checking the contract, and the rest are some trivial things, and it won't take too long.
She went to the company in casual clothes, just got out of the elevator and turned a corner before she reached the administrative area, a petite and cute girl jumped up and ran to her with a look of adoration, and her voice was so sweet that it was tireless, "Hello Sister Zhuanxin, I'm Chen Jing, just call me Jingjing!"
She nodded politely, said hello to the other party, and was stopped before she could lift her feet, "Sister Zhuanxin, I like your plays, I like every role so much, I have seen every one of your plays." ”
She was a little unaccustomed to Chen Jing's tone of voice like this, but she reflexively showed a light smile and said, "Thank you." ”
Chen Jing took small steps closer and said, "It would be nice if I had the opportunity to act with Sister Zhuan Xin in the future, my sister should mention some Jingjing." ”
She really didn't know what to say, but fortunately, other colleagues came over to greet her and said, "Sister Qiao, they are waiting for you in the small conference room." If she was released, she nodded quickly, and her colleague said to Chen Jing: "There is still something to do, let's talk about it next time." ”
Chen Jing nodded very obediently, "Okay, okay, that Jingjing won't delay Sister Zhuanxin's time, and I will have the opportunity to ask for advice in the future." ”
He felt that the goosebumps all over his body were rising, and he tried his best to control his expression to make his expression appear more comfortable, and after signaling to Chen Jing, he quickly turned around and left, his pace was obviously much faster than usual.
After entering the industry, she has seen a lot of strangers, but it is the first time that a girl like Chen Jing has come into contact with it, and she is always a little uncomfortable. She shook her head and walked briskly to the small conference room.
After the car accident that year, the old problem of not liking to contact outsiders came back, and there was no change in the slightest after entering the industry, so that many artists in the circle had heard of it but had never seen it, and occasionally participated in activities and saw it from afar, and she would not take the initiative to speak.
As she expected, coming to the company this time is indeed a new drama, and she has all these things to Qiao Lin, and she is just here to show her face. Jolene at work is confident and meticulous, which is trustworthy.
With Qiao Lin there, she began to wander, thinking of Han Yu, she had seen her twice.
The first time was at the awards ceremony at the Flying Deer Film Festival, where she attended with the crew of "Guardian" and saw Han Yu from afar. A bright red custom dress outlines her golden ratio figure, coupled with delicate facial features and perfect makeup, she shows the demeanor of an international superstar in every gesture, and as long as she appears, she will always be the focus of media pursuit.
It was the first time that Zhu Lianxin had attended such a grand occasion, fortunately, Jiang Li had been taking her with her, the two of them were like mother and daughter, on such a occasion where the spotlights gathered and the stars were shining, Xuan Lianxin couldn't help but sigh from the bottom of her heart when she saw Han Yu, this woman was really extraordinary and unique.
Some people are born stars.
The second time I saw Han Yu was at a party hosted by Xinyuan Media, and she had to attend as a contracted artist of Xinyuan, Qiao Lin walked among the crowds, she went to the venue directly after the announcement, and she was still hungry, looking for something to eat alone. As soon as she took a bite of the cake, she heard someone calling her 'Xiao Yan' behind her, and she knew that it was Zhao Jin without looking back. She put down the plate containing the cake in her hand, picked up the corner of her skirt and walked over, it was Han Yu who was chatting with Zhao Jin at that time.
Zhao Jin's first sentence when he saw her was: "I must have just finished filming, and I have a handful of bones left." The tone was extremely firm.
He smiled and nodded, habitually lowering his eyes, and at this moment, a white hand reached out, "Hello, I'm Han Yu." ”
She raised her eyes and saw Han Yu up close, Han Yu, who was named the Queen of Leng Yan by the media, looked at it so closely, her facial features were still impeccable, she couldn't help but think: How can there be such a beautiful woman in this world.
She stretched out her hand to take the white hand and said, "Hello, I'm Juanxin." ”
Han Yumei swept her eyes up and down and said with a smile: "Cut autumn water with your eyes, and peel spring onions with your ten fingers." Then he turned sideways and said: "Hui Xin is good, Huai Jin holds Yu, and Li Lan Yuan Zhi." ”
For a moment, she felt that Han Yu's dark eyes were bottomless, such an incomparably beautiful woman could get to this point, relying not only on the rare beauty in the world, but also on a few words to see through a person, this skill alone is not simple.
The place where Han Yu appeared must be the focus of attention, and after a few words of greeting, she left first, leaving Zhao Jin and Zhu Lianxin to catch up. She looked at Han Yu's departing figure, and remembered a sentence in the "Book of Songs" that was used to describe her, "The hands are like soft wattles, the skin is like clotted fat, the collar is like a grub, the teeth are like a rhinoceros, the head of the mantis is like a moth eyebrows, the smile is clever, and the eyes are beautiful." "Such a perfect woman is really rare in the world.
Whether it was praise or slander, wind and sunshine or thunder and lightning, Han Yu always looked up to her beautiful and proud head and calmly responded. Whether you love her or hate her, appreciate her or despise her, you can't shake half of her belief and status, she is a unique Han Yu.
"That's basically the way it is, no other objections to that's it for today. ”
Yan Zhuan Xin came back to her senses, and she didn't know what everyone said just now, but it didn't matter, with Qiao Lin here, she didn't need to worry about anything other than filming.
Early the next morning, "Zhuan, today I will prepare the things for filming, and I won't go to the company after a while when the driver comes to pick you up, and there are the last two classes tomorrow, so I made an appointment with the teacher." Lulu had already changed her clothes and was ready to go out, and she replied that she knew.
During this time, Lulu accompanied her to class and gym every day, and occasionally practiced with her, but every time she couldn't hold on for a while, she said that she couldn't stand it. The extreme physical exertion made her not want to go back to her residence every day, take a shower and go straight to sleep, and even the constant dreams no longer disturbed her. The softness of her body is not bad, but the strength is a little worse, the classes arranged by Jolene for her are mainly exercises, and the tea art and flower arrangement are very quiet courses, which are suitable for her temperament, and she learns quickly, and she has become interested in herself.
Because she doesn't have too many friends and doesn't go to socialize, she still has a lot of time left except for filming. She never rushes to film, every time she films, as long as the role is needed, she will learn in advance, 'there are not many works', this is the truth that Zhao Jin taught her.
She never took this path to become a shining star, and the secret that had been hidden in her heart had been so long that she almost thought she would forget it.
She has time breaks for work and rest, and Lulu, as an assistant, naturally does not work day and night like other artist assistants. Lulu likes to watch movies and TV series when she's not working, and in this business, there's almost nothing she doesn't know about entertainment news or gossip reports, and Jolene likes her too.
Every time before filming, Lulu has done her homework, not only is she clear about the cooperative team and artists, but she will also keep instilling in her, just like the actor Kim Jung-ho who is going to cooperate with "Behind the Lie" this time, Lulu has long seen his works and was once very fascinated by him.
When she first got the exact news, Lulu was excited, and then she hugged her iPad and started to stay, it was rare that she didn't have to go to class, so she walked over and waved her hand, and asked, "What do you think?"
She came back to her senses and put the iPad on the table: "I'm thinking, what is the difference between foreign artists and Chinese artists." ”
"You mean Kim Jung-ho?" he said, sitting down beside her.
"South Korea and China are both Asian countries, so the difference shouldn't be huge, right?" asked Lulu, leaning back on the couch.
"What's wrong with you? It's not the first time I've worked with an artist I'm not familiar with, I've never seen you think about it so much before?"
"This time it's different!"
She knew what Lulu was thinking, the circle looked colorful, but what it looked like was not only different from person to person, but also from time to time, some people were willing, and some people couldn't help themselves. She never wanted to think too much about these things, and even if she was already in the middle of it, she always felt like she was just a passerby, I don't know when, but she knew that she wouldn't stay here forever.
Since her debut, most of the actors she has cooperated with are not bad, and she almost closed herself off when she was in "Trajectory", and she did not have any interaction with other actors in the crew outside of filming, so the relationship was not very good, except for Zhao Jin Ajing and a few staff members, the co-actors had no intersection.
Starting from "Fireworks of the Third World", whether it is Lin Su or Cen Yan, Yuan Zheng, Chen Xi, and Zhang Liyou who play rival plays, they have all become friends because of filming, including He Ye later, who are all very good.
But that's not all.
When she went to make a cameo or a friendship appearance, she met very bad artists, either she took herself too seriously, played a big name, and was okay with hypocrisy or cynicism, the most uncomfortable thing for her was that she didn't know it, she didn't see through it, and she didn't dislike it, but she had no other way but to watch from the sidelines, trying not to provoke herself.
"She was just lucky to be favored by Zhao Jin, and she played such a flattering role, otherwise she knows what acting is when she comes from a music background!"
"That's it, if it weren't for Zhao Jin's well-known eccentric temper and unsympathetic in the circle, I really want to wonder what means she used to make a big director like Zhao Jin take care of her so much! I heard that she signed a contract with Xinyuan Media was introduced by Zhao Jin, who is her agent? The book is all good, you see that the roles she plays are all likable, even if she is not the female number one, she can attract attention!"
"I know that Xinyuan has a gold medal agent Huo Zhen, her agent doesn't know who it is, eighty percent is that Huo Zhen doesn't want her, so I arranged one casually, the book is quite discerning, but I don't understand hype at all, you see that she has no exposure except for the news when she has a play, and it is estimated that even reporters are reluctant to shoot her!"
Lulu shook her head gently as she pulled Lulu, who wanted to rush out, and after a while, she waited for the two of them to leave before she came out, and Lulu asked her indignantly: "Why are you pulling me, and you're not afraid of them!
She went back and continued to flip through the script without even raising her head, "What's there to be angry about." ”
Lulu's eyes widened, "What's there to be angry about? If it weren't for Director Zhao's fame, they wouldn't know what more ugly things to say!
"It's a shame that you want to get it. She looked up and laughed.
"Boom!" Lulu pinched her waist with an unhappy face.
She knew that Lulu was upset for herself, so she put down the script and said: "Everyone has their own lifestyle and pursuits, I want a peaceful life, I don't have much ambition for acting, and I don't want to be a big star, but this is just what I want, and it doesn't mean that everyone is the same as me." Besides, they have the right to speak and comment, but I have no obligation to listen and remember, not to mention that we can't control the mouth on other people's faces, so why get angry and annoy yourself. ”
Lulu was still a little indignant, "They're just jealous! naked jealousy!"
She smiled when she saw Lulu's appearance, "Maybe I really went too smoothly on the road in this circle, and it was normal for others to be unaccustomed to it." ”
"Okay, okay, you're not angry, I don't have anything more to say, are you thirsty? ”
She nodded, and Lulu turned to leave.
Is it that God thinks she is too pitiful, so she can go so smoothly after choosing this path, but in fact, what she wants most is not these, the opportunities and light that cannot be asked for in the eyes of others are not important to her.
