Unspoken rules
At the end of June and the beginning of July, exam week was coming, and Ling Xiao began to travel frequently between school and the crew. Although her attendance rate was blank in the month she joined the group, her homework was completed on time and of extremely high quality, and she has always been excellent, and the teachers did not embarrass her, and the scores came out one after another very good.
It was evening when Ling Xiao finished the last exam, and it was estimated that this time he didn't have to carry the professor to chase and beat him, so he packed dinner to see Ye Lin, who was working overtime tonight. The two had dinner together, although they were a little reluctant because they didn't have many opportunities to meet recently, but after all, they both had their own work to do, and they didn't get tired of anything, and they just thought about saying goodbye to each other after a long time of making up for it.
Didn't arrange her role tonight, Ling Xiao bought a bottle of wine by the way, and planned to write a few words while drinking at night, Yan Kuang was so angry that he jumped to his feet since he knew that she was coming to film, and he couldn't wait to lift her ears and teach her, "What kind of scene to film, what if public opinion says that you want to be popular, you can't wait to wait for your value to plummet?" Can't you honestly maintain the nobility and coldness of an artist? ”
Ling Xiao finally reluctantly coaxed him, thinking that he had been so busy recently that he didn't have much time to write, he suddenly felt a little weak, thinking that he would practice calligraphy while he was free today, and if he felt good, he could also produce a few pictures to give to Yan Kuang.
When Ling Xiao carried a small wine jar and shook it unhurriedly into the hotel, it was already past eight o'clock. The hotels near the film and television city are all occupied by the crew, which is always particularly eye-catching, and there are reporters and fans squatting every day. Ling Xiao was afraid of being recognized, so he specially chose some inconspicuous paths and shaded trees. She was already outstanding, even if she was inadvertent, she walked lightly and silently, and she didn't alarm anyone along the way, but she collided with someone in the corner outside the back door of the hotel
Ling Xiao already knew that there were people, but they had already arrived outside the door, and they didn't bother to change their routes, so they only raised their eyebrows slightly; But the man's eyes widened suddenly, and he almost jumped in shock.
Ling Xiao didn't react at first, just subconsciously raised his eyes and swept the man, and then his eyelids jumped rarely
This person was dressed in an ordinary short-sleeved T-shirt, with a casual knee-length beach pants on his lower body, and a box of barbecue in his hand, and the corners of his mouth were shiny. Seeing her coming quietly, she jumped up in surprise and hurriedly hid the barbecue behind her, and after two or three seconds, she seemed to finally realize that it was too late, and she bit the skewer with some self-deprecation and rolled her eyes angrily:
"Why didn't you even make a sound when you came here?"
There was a bush in front of him, and there was some movement when he stepped on it, but he didn't hear anything just now.
Rao is Ling Xiao was stunned for a moment, and when he came back to his senses, he raised his eyebrows and looked at the man in front of him who was unkempt and hiding in the corner and secretly eating skewers:
"That's what you usually do?"
This man...... turned out to be Yan Bingyu, the actor who has always been gentle and elegant in front of people.
The actor was silent for a while, probably because he had completely given up on saving his image, and lowered his head and took another bite: "Usually busy, rare." ”
The implication is that the usual "virtue" is still quite good, and it is rare to see this appearance today, but unfortunately it happened to be bumped into by Ling Xiao.
Ling Xiao glanced at him obliquely, with obvious suspicion in his eyes: "Then what are you hiding here?" Why don't you go back to your room and eat? ”
She originally just said casually, but she didn't expect the man to suddenly have a bitter face when he heard it: "The agent doesn't allow me to eat these things, I am easy to gain weight and have acne, she has my room key." ”
Ling Xiao immediately remembered that his agent was said to have taken him with him when he was a child star when he debuted, and now he is also a little old, although his appearance is ordinary, he is a delicate woman.
Ling Xiao thought about it while looking around, this place is hidden and few people come, even if you come, you have to pass through that grass, there will inevitably be footsteps, but it is indeed a good place to "steal food".
She has been in the group for more than a month, and she has had more contact with everyone, and she knows that many actors strictly control their daily diet in order to maintain their figure and image, but ...... Hiding in the corner in his pants and stealing skewers, it is estimated that there is no one except this actor.
Just as he was thinking about it, a skewer was handed to him.
"Buying me?" Ling Xiao asked, but unceremoniously reached out and took a bite.
In the Ming Dynasty, there was a person named Zhang Dai who said, "People have no habits, they can't have friends", "People can't have friends without flaws", Ling Xiao felt a little sympathetic when he saw this sentence. Even Ye Lin is such a good-tempered person, and he also has some shortcomings and fetishes, if this actor is really as perfect as he usually looks out, it will be too boring. At this time, seeing his raunchy appearance, Ling Xiao felt a little interesting, but a little more casual.
Yan Bingyu seemed to have completely ignored the image she had painstakingly created over the years, and glared at her angrily: "You can't stop your mouth when you eat."
Ling Xiao was not angry, chuckled, finished eating the skewers, took a sip of wine, waved his hand, and went upstairs.
Zhou Lingxiao went out frequently for the exam, and finally finished all the exams, and the next day was suddenly full of her roles.
In the afternoon, when the whole crew was "ready for battle", Ling Xiao was filming. This one is probably the least stressful and burden-free for her, filming the scene where she writes a war report, and the close-ups fall on her hands and letterhead.
Knowing that she writes well, the director can be regarded as "making the best use of his talents", so he specially gave her a close-up of the handwriting for a long time. Of course, this doesn't require any acting skills, Ling Xiao just waved the pen, and when he put the pen down, he saw that the atmosphere of the entire crew seemed to be a little nervous, and he patted Yan Bingyu's shoulder casually, and there was a slight inquiry in his eyes.
"The investor has arrived," the man explained in a low voice, "I heard it's the prince." ”
Ling Xiao raised his eyebrows, and turned his head to see the strange man beside the director, who was still very young, about twenty-seven or eighteen years old, with handsome facial features but no expression, and was looking at the letterhead she had just written.
This drama is a large-scale production, and the investor heard that it is a film and television company owned by a large domestic company, Ling Xiao has never cared about these, and he forgot about it after hearing it. At this time, he glanced at it and nodded indifferently, and was just about to prepare the next one, but Yan Bingyu pulled him and explained in a low voice: "The prince said that he would invite the crew to dinner in the evening, will you give face?" ”
After knowing each other for more than a month, he also knew that Ling Xiao didn't like to join in the fun, but this time, no matter how he said it, the prince didn't even show his face, I'm afraid it was a little bad, so he couldn't help but remind Ling Xiao.
Although Ling Xiao doesn't like to join in the fun, he actually doesn't care much about these things, and seeing that he kindly told himself that he didn't brush his kindness, he casually said "oh" as he walked.
After finishing work in the evening, the prince really invited the crew to dinner. He naturally sat at a table with the director and a few main actors, and Ling Xiao only heard the director introduce this person as Xi Chen at this time, and there was no doubt that he was the prince. There are few people at the dinner table who don't drink, let alone this circle, and they have to raise their glasses as soon as they sit down. Ling Xiao has been quite familiar with Yan Bingyu recently, and he sat next to him, and on the other side was the actor of the second female lead. Ling Xiao Yuguang saw that she had a difficult face and held the cup with a slight hesitation, but in the end she gritted her teeth and drank it, and immediately frowned slightly and leaned over to ask her.
"It's nothing," the actress who was just popular was actually not very old, and she didn't know why she blushed slightly, but she shook her head again and again, "I don't care." ”
Ling Xiao reached out and probed her wrist, then quietly blocked her hand, poured the rest of the wine in her cup into his own glass, beckoned to the waiter, and poured her a glass of hot water.
The girl's face suddenly turned red.
"I've replaced all your wine, take good care of yourself these days, and say if you're uncomfortable." Ling Xiao said, but he turned his head consciously, and suddenly met a pair of eyes that couldn't see love.
She took a sip of wine, but her eyes just swept away, and she didn't care. Putting down the cup, I saw the person on the other side bowing his head slightly, leaning over, and obviously lowered his voice:
"He's been watching you, you're a little bit of a concern."
Ling Xiao immediately smiled: "Fancy me?" ”
The tone was distinctly nonchalant.
Yan Bingyu could only sigh for a moment. He has debuted for more than ten years, and he has seen all kinds of things in this circle. Fortunately, although his agent is strictly controlled, he has never done any pimping business, and he has some means of his own, so he has been safe and sound all these years. Ling Xiao doesn't take it to heart, but she not only attracts girls to like her, but she also attracts men, but she is too outstanding, the kind of outstanding person who is still close to standing out from the crowd even if she stands in a star-studded place, so probably few men can muster the courage and confidence to open this mouth.
And the one in front of you is obviously not the type that has no self-confidence.
This kind of young master...... It's been more than ten years, and he's really not seen it less.
The actor sighed, and saw that the little girl next to him was concentrating on drinking and eating, so he could only raise his vigilance worriedly, feeling that he had been working harder and harder recently.
A meal is a cup to change the glass, and the guests and hosts are happy. After the end, everyone prepared to go back to the hotel one after another. Ling Xiao went to the bathroom, and before going, he was unexpectedly explained by Yan Bingyu, "I'm waiting for you outside", thinking that he was probably worried that he would "have an accident", he smiled and did not refuse.
Coming out of the bathroom, Ling Xiao was intercepted. Looking at the two bodyguard-looking men in front of him, Ling Xiao shrugged his shoulders and walked between the two very cooperatively.
Exiting from the exit in the opposite direction from the hotel, Ling Xiao saw a car that was obviously waiting for him.
Ling Xiao didn't have much research on cars, and Ye Lin herself drove an ordinary Audi, so she didn't have any intuitive concept of the model and brand of the car, but the car in front of her ...... Obviously, there is a big word "expensive" written all over the body.
Ling Xiao touched his nose and was obediently "invited" to the car.
Sure enough, on the spacious back seat sat the prince.
Seeing her sit down, the car door quickly closed again, and the lock fell with a "click".
The man reached out and handed over a delicate box. Ling Xiao stretched out his hand to take it, and when he opened it, he saw that it was a jade bracelet.
Wangu has always been famous for its elegance, since ancient times, the gentleman is more than the jade, jade tasting she is also a connoisseur, at a glance know that this is the best mutton fat white jade, moist and transparent tentacles warm.
Ling Xiao picked up the bracelet and played with it for a while, and the phone rang.
As soon as it was connected, Yan Bingyu's voice came from the other end, and the usually gentle male voice had obvious anxiety: "Ling Xiao, why haven't you come out yet?" Where? ”
"I have something to do, you go back first." Ling Xiao's expression softened, but the man opposite didn't know why his face suddenly sank. Ling Xiao didn't care about him, just smiled at the other end of the phone, "You still don't worry about me?" ”
I'm afraid it won't be good for a while, Yan Bingyu still has to go on in this circle after all, and Ling Xiao doesn't want to affect him.
Yan Bingyu probably remembered her force value, and after being silent for a while, she breathed a sigh of relief slightly, and did not insist, but she still did not forget to explain: "Call me if something happens." ”
He has been in this circle for a long time, and he still has some means, otherwise he wouldn't have been able to mix up until now.
Ling Xiao responded with a smile, hung up the phone, and casually put the bracelet back in the brocade box and pushed it back.
"Don't like it?" The man's face was even darker, but he was unexpectedly still patiently asked, "Then what do you like?" ”
After a pause, he added: "I want you to be popular, and you will be popular immediately." ”
Ling Xiao was listening to some old gods on the ground, turned his head and saw an empty glass and a waking red wine on the side, he poured himself half a glass very casually, and after taking a sip, he gently "tsk" with some disgust: "It's expensive, right?" It's a pity that I still prefer baijiu. ”
As soon as she drank, her eyes became more and more flying, and she was full of unscrupulousness.
This sounds like an answer to a question, and when you listen closely, it looks like a little bit of a finger at Sang and scolding Huai. Xi Chen was silent for a while, and then said in a deep voice: "It's a pity that you have no choice but to drink red wine." ”
As he spoke, he raised his hand to signal the driver to drive. But as soon as the words fell, there was a crisp sound immediately, and Ling Xiao dropped the cup casually: "Not necessarily, of course I can choose not to drink." ”
The man looked down and saw that the shards of glass were scattered on the ground, and the carpet in the car was stained dark red by wine, and a few drops splashed on his shoes and pants, blurring an ominous dark color, and his heart skipped a beat inexplicably.
"I heard you just came back from abroad?" Seeing that he didn't speak, Ling Xiao went straight to the point, with a little impatience between his eyebrows. Seeing that he acquiesced, he leaned lazily on the back of his chair and continued, "Then you don't seem to know much about the current domestic market." Speaking of which, this time I can be regarded as a salary from you, I will give you a chance to search for my information on Weibo in five minutes. ”
"That's right," Ling Xiao paused, looked at the driver in the row in front of him and the explosion, and said lightly, "Before that, you'd better let the driver turn around and go back to the place where he just started and stop now, like that."
Ling Xiao raised his eyebrows, "My mood will probably be a little better, and my patience will be a little better." ”
