57 Chapter 57

Who are you

It has been more than a month since he was originally admitted to the crew of "Dream Moon City", and on the surface, it seems that he has integrated into the life of the crew, but Su Wei knows that except for acting, he has not had much contact with people at all.

That's not to say how unsociable and out of place he is. People's hearts are the most complex thing, even if there is a director like Hu Tiantian who has a clear distinction between public and private, it can't stop most people's strange eyes and rejection hearts.

The news of that year was not without sensation, and the hidden marriage and derailment and domestic violence were criticized by anyone for any of them.

The original pride has been fixed in their hearts and cannot be changed. Su Wei began to understand a little why he didn't want to touch the role he was good at before, it was a kind of disappointment, the results of years of hard work, how many people cried and laughed and said they loved him, but the result was just a piece of news, and everything changed.

He thought he could rely on those favorites and be willful for once. But this time, he lost everything. The so-called dreams, beliefs, loves, and hopes have become a joke.

Playing the role of the past will only make him linger in the shadow of the past all year round, so he would rather take on those characters who are easily abused. At the very least, the first thing the audience sees when they scold is the character itself, not the original story.

It's good to love what you do, but it's easy to get hurt if you're too persistent. Perhaps this dedication is the biggest difference between Yuan Xu and Ruan Chengze, and it is also the reason why Yuan Xu couldn't get used to Ruan Chengze back then.

Su Wei didn't know what the two had talked about that day, but she had a gut feeling that Ruan Chengze would not hide that he had helped Yuan Xu. She was just surprised that she didn't ask her anything afterwards.

In the past month, Ruan Chengze appeared several times, and the entire crew soon knew that he was one of the investors, and everyone was excited. He is actually very busy, and he only stays for half an hour at most at a time, but even this half hour will have some impact on the shooting.

It's another sunny day, and the sky is always clear and transparent blue as we enter May. Good weather but not necessarily good luck, and the second female number one who played against Yuan Xu was very unfortunate for the seventh time, Hu Tiantian announced a ten-minute break from the audience.

As soon as Yuan Xu took the water handed by Su Wei, he felt the projected gaze. He looked up, and not far away, Ruan Chengze was sitting with Hu Tiantian talking about something. Occasionally, eyes come to him, not on him, but on the people around him.

He opened the lid and took a sip of water and asked, "When did you guys start?" ”

Su Wei was stunned, but quickly understood, "Recently." ”

Yuan Xu frowned slightly: "He is not suitable for you." ”

Su Wei smiled, "I know." ”

He could read what the smile meant: "Are you serious? ”

"Yes." She is a person who never tries to play with her feelings.

Her voice was shallow, but with the usual seriousness. Yuan Xu twisted his eyebrows again, and his voice was a little colder, "I thought you wouldn't like his type." ”

That day, Nguyen Chengze said that he was lucky to have an agent like this, and if it weren't for her, he wouldn't have spoken for him. At that time, he thought that the other party was just wishful thinking, but he didn't expect Su Wei to be too.

Yuan Xu closed his eyes, and there was a dull pain in his head, which was a stubborn illness that had plagued him for many years. I've been resting before, and there are few recurrences, but recently I've been shooting at high intensity for days, and I'll have a seizure from time to time.

"It hurts again?" Su Wei noticed his expression and hurriedly took out the medicine from his bag, "There are still several pieces to shoot today, I'll coordinate with the director later, and see if I can finish filming your part first." ”

"It's okay, it'll be fine in a while." After taking the medicine, Yuan Xu closed his eyes and leaned back in the chair, and after a moment, he slowly opened his eyes and looked at Su Wei, his eyes were calm, "I don't want to interfere with you, but I have no reason to know and not ask out loud." There are a few things...... I don't want you to be scammed. ”

"I'm glad you cared about me, but Yves isn't exactly what you know." She paused, and then added, "I admit that he has a lot of flaws and feels very difficult to get along with, but he is not bad in nature. I've seen a lot of people who are really dark inside, and he is completely different from them, and his strength lies in the fact that his shortcomings are all in plain sight, and he disdains to disguise them, and even takes pride in having these shortcomings himself. ”

This is the first time she has confessed to others how she feels about Nguyen Chengze. In fact, she is not a person who is good at expressing herself, and her special experience makes her almost no friends, and she has no so-called girlfriends to talk to. After that year, Yuan Xu was the only person she confided in. She wrote him a lot of letters, about her life, about her heart, about what she saw and heard every day.

So, even if he didn't know it at the moment—and maybe won't know who she was in the future—she could still say it to him very naturally.

Yuan Xu was silent for a while before he smiled faintly, "Maybe it's because of different personal opinions." ”

Su Wei looked back at him, the makeup in the play made his face silent, even so, when he was not in the play, others could still feel the elegant handsomeness between his delicate eyebrows from his decadent and pale shape.

But once he enters the play, these handsomeness between his eyebrows at this moment will magically turn into nothingness, leaving only Sensen cold and gloomy.

"Do you mind if he helps you?" Su Wei still asked. She knew how stubborn and proud he was when it came to acting.

"I do sometimes mind the help of others, and that's because I don't need pity. But this time it's different, he's because of you. His slightly pale lips pursed a complicated arc, and his gaze deepened a little, "In other words, I accept your help, and I don't want to waste your heart." ”

She didn't say anything this time, just smiled slowly.

He paused, then continued, "Also, I haven't told you all this time—I'm sorry. ”

After that day, he never got a chance to apologize to her. She was by his side to help him wholeheartedly, and she should not bear his unreasonable anger. After all these years, he thought he might learn to forget.

Su Wei took out the puff, bent down and carefully touched up his makeup a little bit, "No need to apologize, I'm not angry at all." ”

"You should be angry, you are my agent, you have this right." Her breath was close at hand, her hands were lightly scented, and her pale eyes were like two pieces of clear amber in the sun.

He looked at it for a moment, "Are you half-blood?" ”

"You finally asked." She said, her hand movements non-stop, "You must have seen those old photos on the forum a long time ago, right?" Yes, I'm of mixed race, but I look more oriental. ”

"You used to live in France?" He remembered the information about Anna Sui provided under the photo.

"Yes." After a simple touch-up, she got up to clean up the puff.

"France is a nice country, and I have a friend I have known for many years who lives there." Yuan Xu seems to be stuck in memory.

The fingers that were packed stopped, and Su Wei asked softly, "What kind of friend is it?" ”

"It's a friend I've known for a long time. However, I haven't seen her for many, many years, and there have been a few times when I want to meet before I have been interrupted by some accidents, so I haven't seen her all the time. Afterward...... Then something happened, we lost contact, and now she probably forgot about me. A hint of gloom passed through the man's clear pupils. If he hadn't been so proud and cut ties with force, some things might have been completely different.

"If I were her, no matter how far away I was, no matter how big the change was, it would be impossible to forget you." Her gaze met his, and in an instant, he had that strange feeling again, and they ...... Have you ever seen it somewhere?

Hu Tiantian motioned to everyone to continue filming on the side.

Yuan Xu got up, took two steps, stopped again, turned back to her and said, "Thank you." ”

It wasn't until later, when he finally knew who she was, that he realized that this repeated déjà vu was not his delusion.

The filming of the urban part of "Dream Moon City" will be completed at the end of June, and then the crew will go to Yunnan and Xi'an to shoot the filming, and then re-edit according to the plot in the later stage.

Nowadays, the dramas filmed in the cinema are basically incoherent, maybe the first scene is just getting acquainted, and the next scene is already love-hate and emotionally conflicting.

Special effects will inevitably be used in the tomb robbery expedition, but Hu Tiantian also understands that with the current technology in China and the funds that the producer plans to allocate to computer technology in the later stage, the effect will not be much better than that of cartoons. So he discussed with Pang Zhen at the beginning and tried not to have a plot that required computer technology.

Among the three main points of suspense exploration and tomb robbery, suspense and exploration are the mainstay.

And the house keeper played by Yuan Xu has always maintained a moderate amount of mystery in the first fifteen episodes, accompanied by a series of bizarre events, making it difficult for the audience to distinguish between good and bad. From the sixteenth episode onwards, his role will be aggravated, after the protagonists return from Yunnan, he unexpectedly helped the protagonists with his gloomy and terrifying image when a frame-up incident occurred, which surprised several people who had always thought he was on the opposite side.

Subsequently, the role of the house keeper will gradually show a clearer background state, and he will also guide everyone to the end of the mystery.

The whole series is not long, only twenty-five episodes, and now there are forty or fifty episodes and seventy or eighty episodes of dramas in China, which pay attention to a tight sense of rhythm and a gripping plot atmosphere, of course, the humorous lines and funny love of the protagonist are also a highlight.

Pang Zhen has always written movie books, knows how to firmly catch the audience's attention within the opening ten minutes, and also knows how to be light and humorous in the funny place, and bring people into the play in the emotional part of the tearful sensational.

Hu Tiantian is also an ideological director, and he doesn't want to shoot a brain-dead footcloth series, and the cooperation between the two is seamless.

Before Pang Zhen promised Xu Shen to change it to a movie book, it was also equivalent to cooperating with M&S, and occasionally he would go to M&S when he didn't have to go to the crew to work, of course, the premise was that the original was when the crew was not playing.

She knew from Su Wei that Yuan Xu was generally in M&s when there was no announcement recently. In fact, there has always been his exclusive lounge in the company, but he never went there before, so it was vacant.

Now that he has started anew, when Su Wei proposed that he go to the company every day, he did not refuse.

Pang Zhen drove the red A5 all the way into the underground parking lot of M&S, because he was in a hurry, he almost hit a person at the corner, but fortunately, the brakes were in time, but he just startled the other party. She hurriedly got out of the car, apologizing and helping the man pick up the dropped backpack and scattered items.

The man was quite young, and he looked a little familiar, and he should be an employee in M&S. The other party obviously knew her too, so he respectfully shouted Pang Bian, packed up his things, and hurried towards the staircase.

After the man left, Pang Zhen parked the car on the side, only to find that there was a black notebook lying on the ground, which should have been dropped by the man just now.

She bent down to pick it up, patted the dust off it, and flipped through it casually, only to find that the handwriting that caught her eyes was very familiar.

When she and Su Wei discussed how to make Yuan Xu interested in the role, they sat together and looked through the settings and scripts page by page, and Su Wei had the habit of recording them at any time. At that time, she also praised her for being a returnee, but her Chinese characters were more beautiful than her, a person who made a living by writing.

The handwriting on the book is clear and slender, there is no doubt that this is Su Wei's handwriting.

The notebook is Su Wei's? No wonder she looked a little familiar with the person just now, probably doing things next to Yuan Xu. Pang Zhen guessed and took his notebook into the elevator.

A moment later, she knocked on the door of a break room on the sixth floor.

The room was very quiet, Yuan Xu sat on the single sofa by the window and read the script, saw her come in, and greeted her with a bow, "Screenwriter Pang, Su Wei went to the Propaganda Department, something to find her?" Wait a minute. ”

When he was in the crew, Pang Zhen's excuse every time he talked to him was to discuss the script. There are too many times, and there is really nothing to discuss.

So she came here now with the excuse of looking for Su Wei. He would usually politely invite her to sit down, and then go about his business quietly, without any intention of chatting with her.

But today, she has a good way to chat.

"This is Su Wei's." She pinched the black notebook in her hand and walked closer to him, "What I just picked up, she should have dropped it." ”

"Just put it on the coffee table, thank you." After Yuan Xu finished speaking, he lowered his head again and flipped through the script.

That's it? Pang Zhen is a little crazy, he can't say a few more words? Anyway, she is the screenwriter of his current play!

After ten minutes of attempted dialogue, failed dialogue, and relative silence, Pang Zhen fell into a state of speechlessness.

"I'm going to do something first, that ...... When Su Wei comes back, you ask her to call me. She rested her notebook on the coffee table near him and got up to leave.

Pang Zhen hadn't walked a few steps away from the lounge when Yuan Xu's slightly anxious voice came from behind him, "Wait! ”

"What's wrong?" Pang Zhen looked back half delighted and half confused.

Yuan Xu's expression was a little strange, and there was a certain disbelief in his eyes that had always been indifferent, this was the first time Pang Zhen had seen him show such strong emotions outside of filming.

He was holding the black notebook in his hand, and his voice trembled slightly when he spoke, "You just said, whose notebook is it?" ”

"Su Wei's, it's all written by her, who else would it be if it wasn't hers?"

Yuan Xu was stunned. There seemed to be the sound of something collapsing in his ears, and it seemed that the whole person was instantly swallowed by the raging waves, and for a while, he was in a trance.

"You...... You okay? Pang Zhen walked up to him.

Pang Zhen asked a second time, and Yuan Xu came back to his senses, his gaze fell, and his eyes were bottomless, "Su Weishe...... How old is it? ”

She was stunned for a moment, and then said, "I think about it, she should be just over twenty-six." ”

His face was already slightly pale, and even his lips were pale at the moment. After a moment, he nodded at her, "Thank you." With that, he turned around and went into the lounge.

On the milky white coffee table in the lounge, the notebook was still open. Black on a white background, page by page is full of all the living habits of Nguyen Chengze. This is an assistant notebook, even if he didn't ask Pang Zhen just now, he should have guessed who wrote it.

That girl, because she often wrote letters, practiced a beautiful hand of Chinese characters very early. He often praised her for the charm of calligraphy in her hard pen writing, obviously she was just a girl, but her brushstrokes were as clear as a young man.

Yuan Xu closed the notebook, came to the window, and slowly closed his eyes.

Twenty-six years old, from France, and that feeling of déjà vu...... All of this adds up, and the answer is already on the horizon.

But why?

After she was eight years old, he clearly never went to see her again.

After so many years, the two corresponded with each other, but she was always the appearance of the eight-year-old girl in his mind.

In the beginning, it was he who was too busy. The box office and the sensation caused by the movie after it aired were far beyond his expectations, and he had his own plans for the future, he did want to go to art school, but his major was sculpture. However, after a few months of filming, he developed a strong interest in acting. There is no such title as a star artist, he just wants to be an actor.

In the first few years, he has been busy with his studies and professional training, occasionally participating in some announcements, but he has not accepted new plays. He has always been a perfectionist, and since he is interested in acting, he hopes to enter the industry only after he has enough ability.

The audience may like him for a while, but this liking and adoration will not last long, and he is a man, and the way he likes people with color is the last thing he likes.

Despite the distance, he would regularly send gifts and letters to the girl.

She also always replied, and her handwriting went from rusty to proficient. Many years later, Su Wei looked back and said that her Chinese reading and writing were practiced in those years.

During the winter break before graduating from college, he had planned to go to Nîmes, she would be almost twelve years old, and he had prepared a gift to accompany her for her birthday. However, a week before his departure, he had an accident in his car, and he himself was fine, but the girl he hit and injured was lying in the hospital for two whole months.

The girl's name is Bai Xiayu. That year, she was twenty-three years old, had just signed a contract with a little-known music company, and was a rookie singer who couldn't even squeeze into the ranks of third-tier artists.

The most serious part of Bai Xiayu's injuries was her legs, with two fractures, and the hospital's initial diagnosis indicated that she might have sequelae. He still remembered the sadness on her face that bordered on despair when she woke up from her coma and heard the doctor's diagnosis.

During that winter vacation, he didn't go anywhere, and went to the hospital to visit her every day.

At that time, Bai Xiayu had just come out of a small city, and had not yet been impregnated by the hustle and bustle of a big city, and his clear black and white eyes were full of the simplicity and straightforwardness of young people. She knew who he was, but she didn't think anything about it. On the contrary, because of the car accident, she was unusually repulsive towards him. She was feminine but fierce, and for the first few weeks he was scolded by her almost every day and kicked out of the ward.

He has been quiet since he was a child, and his temperament is gentle, even if he is angry, he can't scold anything nasty. He always thought that if he found a girlfriend in the future, he would like that kind of well-behaved, sensible and quiet girl. The two of them respect each other like guests, love each other and accompany each other, all the way to old age.

Bai Xiayu is very beautiful, young and vigorous, but there is a spicy game in his bones.

He thought that he would not like a girl of her character.

But people are such strange creatures sometimes, all the things you thought would happen, but they didn't happen, and you never thought you would meet people, but you did.

He loved carving, but he became an actor.

He likes the quiet and well-behaved type, but he finally fell in love with Bai Xiayu, who was as fiery as a fire.

Many years later, when the two of them stood in different worlds full of desolation and were criticized by the public because of exposure, no one would have thought that among the two of them, he was the first person to fall in love, and he was the one who couldn't get it for three years.

For those three years, she always put him in the position of a friend. I didn't think about what to exchange for the man next to me who was already the emperor in the film industry. She didn't want to take advantage, she was young and hopeful.

At least, for the first three years.

Yuan Xu didn't go to Nim in the end, he had planned a few times, but when he came, he would put it on hold because of some things, his academic career and the girl he liked, all of which filled his life. He would still write to her and send gifts, but that part seemed to be cut off from his real life as time passed.

She became a girl on paper, telling him about her heart in Chinese handwriting, which was getting prettier day by day.

He once asked her to send him a photo because of concern and curiosity, but for some reason, she didn't send it. He had also tried to call the convent several times to hear her, but she had only answered a few calls, the first time the day before her twelfth birthday. On the phone, there is still a childish child's voice, which is much quieter than that of ordinary girls.

He told her he couldn't get by. She didn't lose her temper, nor did she say willful requests, but she was very well-behaved and sensible and said that she was all right, so that he didn't have to worry, just said that when she grew up, they would meet one day.

After several phone calls, she was always so well-behaved and sensible on the other end of the phone, and she didn't seem to have to worry about anything at all.

He settled down, and he was running around filming for a while, and he rarely called later.

For a long time after that, the two just corresponded.

The year when he and Bai Xiayu had just secretly registered their marriage, he suddenly received an unfamiliar mobile phone number, and the voice on the phone was a familiar sounding female voice, with the sweetness and tranquility of a girl. She asked him to guess who she was, and he guessed at once. She was so happy on the phone that she sounded happier than any previous call, and she asked him if he had time lately and could go to France to see her.

She said she was almost sixteen and wanted to meet him.

He had just won his second actor award at that time, and he was newly married to Bai Xiayu, Yan'er, which was the happiest time in his life. So I immediately agreed, planning to go to France to see her at the same time, and enjoy a honeymoon with my new wife.

He told her that he might stay in Paris for a few days and then go to Nîmes later. At that time, he seemed to hear her smile on the other end of the phone, but she didn't say anything, just said yes obediently.

However, he did not see her.

That mobile phone number, he never called again. In the years that followed, his life was turned upside down, and the girl with her quiet voice disappeared.

There was no show, no phone calls, not even letters.

By the time he saw her mail in an infrequent mailbox years later, he had become a different person.

His personality has become paranoid and withdrawn, even a little rough, he refuses to help, he refuses to meet, he doesn't want her to see himself like this at all. When the letters she wanted to meet repeatedly appeared, he used the most direct refusal - he logged out the mailbox, cutting off the only contact between the two.

For him, the old promise is dead, and he hopes that her impression of him can stay in the best of times.

His life had become like this, and he didn't want to lose even the last bit of good memory.

He had no idea that a few years later, the girl who had been so young would appear in his life in such a silent way.

Without a trace of waves, without making him feel any discomfort, it was just right, carrying his breakfast, knocking on his door as an assistant.

In the middle of the night, Yuan Xu woke up silently.

The past has been like dust and mist, and it has been clouded above the sky of his world for a long time.

After the great change, he rarely dreamed of the past with such clarity as tonight. In his best teenage years, everything was perfect like the plot in the movie.

He saw the dark-haired girl he hadn't seen since he was eight years old, she had grown up, he accompanied her on her birthday, she begged him not to go, but he couldn't see her face clearly. Then, he saw twenty-three-year-old Bai Xiayu again. Clear black eyes, soft appearance, hearty and flying laughter, as well as dedication and dreams for music.

He was like two separate souls, he saw that he was in love with her, and he also saw how his younger self was so happy that he promised marriage.

He suddenly realized that he might have known it at the time, that for three years, she had been refusing, but when she repeatedly hit a wall in the music industry, she slowly responded to him. Her gaze is no longer simple, behind those bright smiles, there may be some hidden intentions.

But he couldn't resist.

Even if I vaguely understand it in my heart, I don't want to miss her.

Then he fell into the abyss again.

In the darkness of the night, when there was no daylight, he walked alone, numb and decadent. Until one day, a pair of hands grabbed him.

Someone pulled him out of the ashes of self-exile, and vaguely saw the grown black-haired girl. She whispered to him: "I have always remembered you for so many years." There was a dazzling white light, he subconsciously closed his eyes, and when he opened his eyes again, the person in front of him became Su Wei.

It was still the rainy night of the first meeting, and she came from the twilight, looking calm and quiet. Under the yellow street lamp, the fine rain was densely packed into a large area of water vapor, and she coiled her hair, delicate and beautiful. She didn't say anything, just walked over to him, then put her arm around his shoulder and arranged his scarf for him.

After tidying up, she smiled at him, leaned forward, and kissed him gently......

When he woke up, his heart was beating fast, and there was a slight tremor in his chest that he hadn't seen for a long time.

He reached out and pressed his heart to the mouth, and slowly frowned. 166 Reading Network
