32. Chapter XXXI
Mu Xuesong exchanged a few words with the director, and Zhao Lin began to speak on his behalf.
Mu Xuesong followed behind Zhao Lin and greeted the director, assistant director and other staff members with him, and it took about half an hour before he found an opportunity to ask him why he didn't need to audition.
Zhao Lin calmly told him that this role was predetermined, and he didn't even need to go through the form, and he could start filming directly, which didn't take any time. Anyway, just look at the face, as long as you can pronounce the line words and don't have facial paralysis, you can basically get on it.
Although he didn't want to act, as soon as he heard that his role requirements were so low, Mu Xuesong, who was holding the script, was still a little unhappy.
Although Mu Xuesong had read the script before, he couldn't help but take a few more glances after arriving at the scene, afraid that he would be embarrassed by the ducks on the shelves. Basically, this is a happy campus comedy that integrates Qiong Yao's dog blood and basic feelings, called "My Youth, My Decision".
As soon as you hear the name, you can think that this plot is very old-fashioned, but the plot is old-fashioned and funny, and it is really not enough for the actors. In the final analysis, the most important selling point of this show is the handsome guys and beauties, and the male and female protagonists are the most popular standard beauties at the moment, although they are not as good as the predecessors with some qualifications, but they are the leaders in the new generation.
Mu Xuesong plays the role of a senior gentleman who helps the heroine in the school, and he has no role, and his appearance is mainly to give the heroine a plug-in, except for brushing his face and pretending to be a coerc, he has no other functions.
Although this drama is not a big production, the male and female protagonists and main supporting roles are currently very popular, and there are many announcements, in order to complete the filming of the TV series faster, the crew is also specially divided into several groups.
Responsible for Mu Xuesong and some supporting roles is Group B, which was filmed in another location. The protagonists are group A, and team C is responsible for some other scenes.
Mu Xuesong doesn't know the filming process of the TV series, and he has to go to the scene to learn everything, but he has a smart brain and patience, and he is good at finding shots, and this drama doesn't require much acting skills, so there are no major problems before playing against the main characters.
Mu Xuesong first finished filming the scene where he was not with the heroine in this play, and the day of playing against the heroine was set for the last few days. Even the assistant director in charge of this side couldn't help but say that Mu Xuesong is very talented as an actor.
The progress of filming a TV series for the first time was so smooth, which Mu Xuesong and Zhao Lin did not expect, and after a few days of filming, Mu Xuesong even gave birth to the illusion that he actually had the talent to be an actor. It wasn't until he cooperated with the main characters and needed to show the ups and downs of his feelings that Mu Xuesong finally exposed the problem. Originally, Mu Xuesong thought that he could hold up the whole drama with the slightly raised corners of his mouth and a kind smile.
Speaking of which, the actor who plays the heroine of this TV series is called Dai Meiqi, she is a very sweet and cute girl, with a bumpy figure, and is known as an otaku goddess. Twenty-five-year-old Dai Meiqi also made her model debut, but she was not tall enough to be a graphic model and almost did not walk the catwalk.
Although it is not from the same company as Mu Xuesong, it can still be regarded as Mu Xuesong's predecessor.
Dai Meiqi is still a good person, very kind to people, and never plays a big name. Although everyone knows that she entered the group by her connections, the people in the crew have a good relationship with her at least on the surface.
Because she was not in a group before, and Dai Meiqi left as soon as she finished filming her role as if something was chasing her behind her, so this filming with the protagonist was the first time Dai Meiqi met Mu Xuesong.
The first time they met, Dai Meiqi saw Mu Xuesong from a distance and walked over to say hello to Mu Xuesong very cordially.
Facing Dai Meiqi, who was smiling like a flower, Mu Xuesong just felt that she was not as good-looking as she imagined. Obviously, reading the script should be a beautiful woman who has captivated the country and the city, Mu Xuesong complained silently in his heart.
Although the character played by Mu Xuesong in the play has a good impression of the heroine, Mu Xuesong privately saw that Dai Meiqi did not have a good impression of him, and even subconsciously wanted to keep a distance from her, which was probably an intuition if he had to say it. Anyway, he has an inexplicable dislike for Dai Meiqi, probably because Dai Meiqi's peach blossom eyes are too charming? Mu Xuesong didn't know if he was being amorous, when he wasn't acting, he always felt that Dai Meiqi was seducing and teasing him with every gesture.
Zhao Lin expressed his satisfaction with Mu Xuesong's subconscious distance from Dai Meiqi.
Maybe some people don't know, but as an "old man" in the modeling industry, Zhao Lin is still very clear about Dai Meiqi's things. Starting from a third- or fourth-rate graphic model, step by step to the female number one in today's idol dramas, this is not a simple road.
Moreover, according to his reliable sources, Dai Meiqi initially relied on betraying her friends in the modeling industry, and turned to the film and television industry when she became famous in the circle. At first, he relied on the financial owner, and later tied up with the actor who played with him to stir up scandals, which slowly became famous and walked out of the trough of his career.
Mu Xuesong was not interested in Dai Meiqi's history of ascending to the throne, and he said coldly that he was not what anyone wanted to hear about gossip.
In addition to Dai Meiqi always seems to want to hook up with him intentionally or unintentionally, what he feels most annoying about Dai Meiqi is filming with her.
First of all, Dai Meiqi is obviously only 1.6 meters tall, but the official is 1.68 meters. Not to mention, lying about height is a very common method in the entertainment industry. But you must know, let alone one meter six, even Cao Youyou, who is more than one meter seven, and Mu Xuesong standing together are not tall. Therefore, when zooming in close-up, Dai Meiqi, who looks particularly birdish in flat shoes, has to stand on a small wooden box to be able to be in the same picture with Mu Xuesong.
If Dai Meiqi stood on it, she always pretended to be unstable and leaned on Mu Xuesong, but Mu Xuesong did not back down out of politeness. The main reason is that he is worried that Dai Meiqi will fall, in the end, she is a girl, and she doesn't look good if she falls in a skirt.
Dai Meiqi has a faint smell of perfume on her body, which can be smelled if you get a little closer.
This taste is not too strong and too bland, it may be a vague temptation for many men, but it has no effect on Mu Xuesong, who is already bent and even a straight man will not be interested in her.
Mu Xuesong had little experience in filming, and Dai Meiqi was not good at cooperating, so the two of them repeated their scenes almost ten times. The director repeatedly relaxed the requirements and failed to reach the most basic level, and the director, who was angry in front of Mu Xuesong for the first time, turned off the camera angrily and asked them to find a feeling next to them.
Mu Xuesong took the water handed over by Zhao Lin, feeling a little depressed, after all, it is impossible for anyone to be in a good mood if they are scolded. Dai Meiqi, who was in a bad mood at this time, stepped forward to comfort him and said, "It's okay, Director Wang won't be very angry, don't care." ”
Mu Xuesong nodded indifferently: "Oh." ”
Dai Meiqi didn't care about Mu Xuesong's coldness, and sat directly next to Mu Xuesong: "Director, let's communicate, how can I communicate with you if you don't speak?" ”
Mu Xuesong was expressionless when he learned Rong Xuan's appearance, but there was no deterrent effect under his pure aura: "I don't think there's anything to say." ”
Dai Meiqi blinked: "Are you looking at me a little nervous?" ”
Mu Xuesong: "......"
"I feel a little stiff when I get close to you." Dai Meiqi got closer, she put her hand on Mu Xuesong's shoulder and instructed as if she had come over, "Relax, nervousness is easy to make mistakes." ”
Mu Xuesong rolled his eyes and said, "I'm not nervous. ”
Zhao Lin watched Mu Xuesong desperately push back, but Dai Meiqi still leaned next to him unwaveringly, stretched out a helping hand and led him to the toilet. When he came back, the director just shouted to restart the film, and Mu Xuesong took the lead in filming.
Because he was filming in the field, Mu Xuesong, who had been filming for a long time but was more tired than the work of the previous days and days, returned to the hotel with an unhappy face. Zhao Lin looked at Mu Xuesong, who looked like a fried cat, and knew that the other party had been wronged. It's not that he didn't see that after today's filming, the director almost pointed his nose and scolded Mu Xuesong.
Zhao Lin bought a small cake for Mu Xuesong, and then sent a text message to Rong Xuan.
Rong Xuan knew that Mu Xuesong went to other places to shoot a TV series, and joked that he was a man with status and status, so he didn't need to ask, Zhao Lin himself honestly "offered" Mu Xuesong's itinerary to Rong Xuan.
Rong Xuan himself received a text message from Zhao Lin after work, in which he said that Mu Xuesong was in a bad mood today. Rong Xuan was a little worried, and quickly dialed Mu Xuesong's number, Mu Xuesong, who was always full of energy in front of him, had a hoarse and low voice at this time, Rong Xuan frowned: "Are you uncomfortable?" ”
"I'm so tired."
"Tired from filming?"
"General." Mu Xuesong, who had planned to endure humiliation and persist in this wave, faced Rong Xuan and unconsciously began to complain, "I was very happy for the whole few days, but I don't like the person who played today." ”
"Oh?" Rong Xuan raised his eyebrows, Mu Xuesong actually rarely expressed his dislike for others, and this time he complained to himself, it seems that Mu Xuesong really doesn't like that person. Since he is the person Mu Xuesong hates, he has a bad impression of each other as if he loves the house and Wu, "What's the matter?" Tell me about it? ”
"Are you sure you want to listen to such a boring thing?" Mu Xuesong felt that Rong Xuan, who was so busy, should not have time to listen to these complaints. But in his heart, he actually wanted to vent his grievances, and the director knew that Dai Meiqi's station was an investor and didn't scold her much, but stared at Mu Xuesong and said that there was no love and no emotion in his eyes.
"Fortunately, the work is done."
"Oh, I'll cut it short." Although Mu Xuesong said that he wanted to make a long story short, he really talked about it completely. He talked about his dissatisfaction and small grievances in the past few days, but what Rong Xuan admired most was that most of Mu Xuesong's complaints were that he was not capable enough and did not do a good job, and accidentally caused some trouble. He maintains a very respectful attitude towards the other staff members in the crew.
Except, of course, the one who played the scene today and the director who scolded him.
"I think I might be a little self-inflicted." Mu Xuesong talked about a lot of messy things, and finally got into the topic, "But I always feel like Dai Meiqi is always hooking up with me when she gets along with me." ”
"Today a close-up scene of her standing on the wooden box, leaning on me with all her body, to be honest, we are talking about two feet standing on a box, even one foot standing on the box, that must be steady and motionless. It's a little uncomfortable for me to contact her......" Mu Xuesong's tone became more and more frustrated, he had never suffered such a big grievance since he was a child, and he even cried when he was excited, "So I am old NG today, it is obviously Dai Meiqi's fault, the director is still staring at me, and he will scold me for a long time if I make a little mistake." I just said I don't want to act!! ”
Rong Xuan listened to Mu Xuesong's words, his expression became more and more strict, thinking that his baby was being bullied, he couldn't wait to rush to Mu Xuesong immediately, and the liquidated damages of their crew directly threw the director in the face and said, "Play by yourself, we won't shoot." ”
But the most important thing now was to comfort the injured Mu Xuesong, Rong Xuan said softly: "It's not your fault. ”
"I don't think it's my fault." After venting a bunch of Mu Xuesong's mood, he calmed down a little, "But I still have to play with her tomorrow~"
Mu Xuesong's tone was coquettish when he spoke, Rong Xuan was very useful, and his expression softened a little. But for the female star Mu Xuesong said, he already had the urge to cut the other party with a thousand knives, and he dared to lean on Mu Xuesong? And the director who scolded. Don't look at whose family Mu Xuesong is, they dare to touch him?
Rong Xuan said: "Don't care, treat her as a fake model for showcasing clothes in the wardrobe." ”
"Fake models won't lean on me."
Rong Xuan didn't know what to say at this time, so he changed the topic and said, "Are you done filming this weekend?" ”
Mu Xuesong thought for a while: "If nothing else." ”
"I'll pick you up."
"Huh?" Mu Xuesong paused, "I'm in City C." ”
"I know."
"It's far away, don't come if you're so busy with work."
"But I miss you."
"......" Mu Xuesong's face turned red because of Rong Xuan's words, and he replied in a lower voice, "I miss my eldest brother too." ”
"Tsk......" Zhao Lin, who had just entered the door and was showing off his face, quietly retreated, he sighed that the child was older, and it seemed that he would have to knock on the door when he entered Mu Xuesong's room in the future.
After chatting with Mu Xuesong for a while, Rong Xuan hung up the phone. The next second, he dialed Bai Yi's number, and his tone was completely different from when he was chatting with Mu Xuesong: "Help me find out what's going on with the heroine of Xiao Mu's crew." ”
"Okay boss." Bai Yi calmly accepted what Rong Xuan said about something that had nothing to do with work, "Is there anything else?" ”
"Help me book a plane ticket to City C tomorrow." Rong Xuan thought about his work tomorrow and added, "Tomorrow's ICE meeting will let Rong Yan keep an eye on it." ”
