Chapter 35: The Return
After the recording of "Unparalleled in the World", Locke's Condor work came to an end temporarily, and he would not continue to promote it until the premiere of the Condor in April.
Calculating the time, Locke has been injured for nearly twenty days, and his injury has finally healed under systematic treatment, and Locke feels finally liberated by removing the plaster cast and bandages on his legs.
Although it has healed, Locke is still unable to exercise vigorously and needs to rest for a few days. You can't even stand for too long, so as not to have problems. Locke, who has been held back for a long time, is finally relaxed, and he can't wait to return to the filming of "Baby Project".
"Hey, is it Locke? Are you okay? Are your injuries serious? There won't be any sequelae, right?" After Locke connected the phone from Lin Xin, there was a crackling question on the other end of the phone, which made Locke a little dizzy.
Locke smiled, "It's no big deal, I'm all cured now." Your message is too outdated. He was also surprised why he was injured Lin Xin didn't say anything about it, and then thought about it, he and her were just ordinary friends, maybe he had forgotten about himself a long time ago.
For Lin Xin, Locke still has a good impression, after all, her image is very similar to Locke's aesthetics, and they are all typical oriental beauties. It's just that Locke is not ready to think about his own affairs for the time being, in his opinion, he has the overlord system and has not yet dominated the world of entertainment~
"Uh, that's right. I'm really lagging behind. Hearing this, Lin Xin was a little lost now, but then she said in a pleasant tone: "Congratulations, you are finally out of the sea of suffering." When are you going to come back to shooting? I happen to have a catwalk in Hong Kong in a few days, so I'll stop by to see you. ”
"Okay, I'll fly to Hong Kong tomorrow and shoot some literary dramas first. The action scenes are left until the body is completely well. Are you in Taiwan now?"
"No, I've been on vacation in the U.S. lately. Anyway, if there is no activity recently, give yourself a vacation and relax. ”
Locke smiled unconsciously, it turned out to be in the United States. Then it's normal not to know the news of your injury, when you haven't developed to the whole world.
"Take good care of your body, don't do some dangerous things or make sure it's safe. At this moment, Lin Xin seemed to be the same as Liu Yifei, and she told him in the tone of a big sister that she wanted to dissuade Locke.
"It's nothing, I'm measured. This time it was just an accident, and you also pay attention to safety in the United States, do you have any gifts?"
Hanging up the phone, Locke let out a deep sigh. What should I do now to be able to regain my memory? Why should I win awards at international A-class film festivals? Can these commercial films help me?
He looks back on the films he has made, all of them are commercial films, and it is even more difficult to win awards than to climb to the sky. But what are the films that can win awards?
"It's time to choose movies seriously, otherwise you'll be an incomplete person. It was impossible for him to win the award for the script in his hand, so he decided to talk to Sister Zeng and ask him to help pay attention to whether there was any kind of award.
It's February 21st, and the weather in BJ is still as cold as ever, so Locke wraps up a thick down jacket and hat and strolls through the streets of BJ. Forgetting how long it had been since he had been so leisurely on the street, he looked at the hurried pedestrians next to him, and then found a video store and walked in.
It's cold and windy outside, but it's warm inside the video store. Locke took off his coat and looked carefully at the CD in front of him, yes, he was here to find the CD. What is playing in the store is Zhang Huimei's "Listening to the Sea", an explosive song.
Locke looked up at the shelves, and many customers were slowly flipping through them, carefully looking for what they wanted.
He looked aimlessly, wanting a nostalgic vinyl, but there didn't seem to be one here.
"Hi, Gangnam. You're here too. ”
"yes, I heard that Locke has a selection of discs, so I'm going to check it out. Are you too?"
"Hmm"
How could I not have known about it? Locke was full of questions, and he walked over to the two little girls, who were opposite them with a huge poster of Locke.
"Look at how many CDs Locke has here, I've collected them all but this one. Why not the second album, I'm so anxious to wait. A little girl in a pink coat pouted. It seems that these two little girls are only thirteen or fourteen years old, and Locke did not expect that they would actually like his songs.
He also walked up, picked up a plate, and looked at it. It turned out that the company composed some of its own classic songs into a disc, there are not many tracks, but they are very exciting. "Blue and White Porcelain", "No Change in This Life", "Love Without Breaking Up", "Elimination" and so on.
"Uncle, you like Locke too. The little girl named Jiangnan raised her head and said happily. In the eyes of these fans, one more person who likes Locke is their own happiness, and there is a feeling of finding a soulmate.
Hoarse, Locke replied, "Yes, I like the songs in it, take it back and listen to it slowly." He didn't expect to be called uncle. However, his raunchy appearance really looks like a middle-aged uncle, with a gloomy, disheveled beard, and a haggard face.
"Uncle, you can pick up a bargain. You must know that this boss is a fan of Locke, so there are only two or three selected discs in other video stores, and there are quite a lot of them here, and our fans of Locke generally choose this store. Tell you secretly, if you say you're a member of Locke's support club, the boss will give you a 10% discount. ”
Locke smiled and went with them to the cash register.
"Uncle, look. The cashier over there is the boss Miao Liang, a little handsome. He's the president of our BJ support club, and he often organizes us to pick us up at the airport, or cheer for Locke's show. ”
Locke looked down at her hand, and it was a young man about twenty years old who was saying, "This is your CD, a total of 78 yuan." Welcome to come back next time. ”
did not reveal his identity, after all, his appearance is not suitable for exposure. Locke remembered Miao Liang and Jiangnan and this "I love music" video store, and he would come here for an autograph session when he had the opportunity in the future.
Back in his apartment, the first thing Locke did was take care of his appearance. I haven't been going out to meet reporters much lately, so it's all natural, and I didn't expect my beard to grow so much.
He patted his face, a little pale and looked a little weak.
After playing his CD, Locke listened to his own voice ringing in the room, feeling an inexplicable sense of pride.
Flying to Hong Kong, Locke went directly to the crew. At this time, Jackie Chan and Gao Yuanyuan were filming a hazy emotional scene, Gao Yuanyuan, who was wearing a nurse's uniform, had a feeling of uniform temptation, and Jackie Chan was standing aside.
I didn't want to disturb the shooting, but Jackie Chan couldn't help but smile when he saw Locke, and the atmosphere he created before disappeared all at once. He didn't care about the director, he rushed up directly and punched Locke in the chest, "It's finally better, you young people are in good health, it's good to break the bone so quickly." Are you sure you can shoot?"
Locke's chest ached, and he took a small step back, and he heard a deep concern from Jackie Chan's mouth.
"I'm back~"
"It's good to be back, and the shooting after that has to be accelerated. We lost a lot of time. This is the voice of director Chen Musheng. When he saw Locke, he couldn't help but look up and down, "Are you sure you can film now?"
Locke patted his chest, "Of course you can, but the doctor said that for the time being, you can only shoot literary dramas, and the martial arts scenes will be able to do it for a while." ”
Matthew, who hadn't seen him for a long time, couldn't help but pounce when he saw Locke, and he wanted to grab Locke's ear. Locke took Matthew from his mom's hand with open hands, and then kissed him the cheek, causing him to giggle.
Gao Yuanyuan and Ah Sa both stood to the side reservedly, looking at Locke with a smile and greeting him. Locke greeted the crew members one by one, and it can be seen that Locke, who has an affinity aura, is quite popular, and everyone in the crew likes this young man who is serious about filming.
"In that case, let's hurry up and finish filming this scene, and after the filming, we will hold a banquet for Locke?" Chen Musheng struck while the iron was hot, called a group of actors back to their posts, and prepared to shoot again.
Locke's meeting with the crew was ruined by the director in less than three minutes. The actors are full of energy, and the filming is completed early and ends early.
Locke didn't have a role to play and walked to the side and sat down and watched their shooting. And Asa didn't have a role at this time, she sat next to Locke and complained to him: "You don't know, because you were injured, the filming progress of our crew was reduced all of a sudden." There are often hateful producers rushing the schedule, and you can't get up fast without you. ”
"It's not just rushing the schedule, they also want to change actors, saying that you broke the contract and caused the filming to lag, and they want to change you. But director Chen Musheng and Jackie Chan didn't agree to anything. ”
Locke looked at Jackie Chan and Chen Musheng in surprise, he didn't expect this kind of thing to happen.
"We're miserable, we have to finish filming every day, otherwise we won't have anything to eat, and we won't let you sleep. Asa said pitifully, and she constantly criticized Chen Musheng's crimes.
"Again! This one has to be repeated. Chen Musheng's roar came from the loudspeaker, "What are you doing, after saying this, today's shooting is over." Let's raise our spirits and think about how to punish Locke tonight. ”
The days of filming are both boring and quick. In the blink of an eye, it has reached the middle of March, and the filming of "Baby Project" has also reached the late stage, and the story is almost coming to an end.
In the past nearly a month, the whole crew has worked hard to finish the project as soon as possible. There are also many episodes in between. Locke stayed in Hong Kong for a month and all activities were canceled, his task was the tightest, and after shooting every day, Locke had to insist on learning more in the system and consolidating his attributes.
"The Condor Heroes" is about to usher in its premiere, so the two leading actors Locke and Liu Yifei cannot be absent from its publicity ceremony, and Locke can only bargain with him under the sharp eyes of director Chen Musheng.
"Director, I'll only take three days off, okay?" Locke said in a negotiating tone, and after finishing speaking, he looked at his face, and immediately changed his words after finding that it was a little unkind, "Is it okay to take those two days off? I will definitely not affect the filming schedule." ”
He almost patted his chest and promised that it was not easy to fight for a few days of vacation.
"Two days off, you have to adjust your condition, if you don't stop NG after you come back, you will be miserable. Chen Musheng waved his hand and granted Locke two days off.
Locke duly shut up, and he nodded. Sister Zeng bought all the air tickets, flew to Hangzhou tonight, held the premiere in Hangzhou, and then went to SH to promote it. The propaganda in the rest of the places can only be absent, and he can only rely on Liu Yifei to support the overall situation.
To be honest, Locke is looking forward to the broadcast of "The Condor Heroes", after all, it was his first time as the protagonist, which is very memorable. Besides, I still have a task that I need to complete with the broadcast of "The Condor Heroes" to help me complete.
