51.Chapter 51
Raichu began to panic.
Soon after she moved here, she found this storage room, and just now the courier brother called, she wanted to take this opportunity to make a joke with Song Pingguo, and quickly ate the preserved egg and lean porridge in the bowl, wiped her mouth and got into the storage room, and then locked the door from the inside.
The storage room, which is not used all year round, is almost occupied by clutter and dust, but Lei Qiu does not have any strict cleanliness habits, and it is no problem to just stand behind the door for a while and wait for Song Pingguo to open the door.
At least in her vision, the joke was very safe, and there was nothing to go wrong with.
She stood behind the door and listened to Song Pingguo's voice calling her name, ready to smile triumphantly, ready to show it the moment Song Pingguo opened the door.
Lei Qiu felt that she had to be a new person after she went out, and she couldn't learn to think with Gong Xiao, and her execution was very strong, so there would definitely be a problem.
"What kind of broken lock......" Raichu was still turning the doorknob in vain - deep down she was still a little expecting that she would suddenly burst out of the small universe and get the door lock with one punch, "can't it be completely broken, what kind of problem is it that it can be locked from the inside but can't be opened from the inside!" β
"Hiding in the storage room by yourself while your girlfriend went downstairs to pick up the courier, what is wrong with you?" Song Pingguo flipped through the phone address book angrily, "If you hold on a little longer, I'll ask the landlord if there is a ...... to unlock the lock near here."
The answer is, yes, but there are too many tenants in this neighborhood, people come and go, and those who unlock the lock are afraid that they will get into trouble, so the landlord himself is willing to open it.
And Song Pingguo's landlord, Aunt Sun, is not at home at this time, and she can't come back until the evening.
"Raichu, I have good news and bad news." Song Pingguo hung up the phone, and clinged to the door panel in order to prevent Lei Qiu from hearing clearly, "The good news is that Aunt Sun said that when she comes back in the evening, she will immediately help you find the one who unlocked the lock, and the bad news is that she won't be able to come back until tonight." β
Raichu banged his head against the door: "What if the lock-picking person is already off work when she comes back." β
"Then you'll have to wait inside until tomorrow morning." Song Pingguo looked down at the crack in the door, "Why didn't you turn on the light?" β
"If the lights could still be turned on, could I not turn them on." Raichu depressedly pressed the switch on the wall back and forth, "There is nothing in this room that works properly. β
"yes, including your brain." Song Pingguo glanced back at the watch on the wall, "Don't worry, Leiqiu, it's ten o'clock in the morning, and you won't stay inside for long." Did you bring your phone? β
"Nope."
"Did you bring anything to eat?"
"Nope."
"Oops, then you'll have to be hungry, this crack in the door isn't enough for me to stuff a cake for you to enter."
"Wow, little apple, can't you help me figure it out......"
"What can you do for you? You are a typical self-inflicted sin, and you can't live. Song Pingguo sighed, "In that case, you wait here, I'll ask the lock-picker if he can be accommodating." By the way, does this pantry have windows? β
"Nope." Raichu was still shaking the door in the storage room, "Don't worry, I don't think I'll be suffocated, isn't there a crack in the door." β
"Then I'm leaving, right?"
"Hmm."
"Are you really gone?"
"Oh, hurry up and ask the lockpicker, I don't believe he can still do business." Raichu gave up shaking the door, leaning against the door panel, humming a song in a mess, "I would have brought my phone in to play if I knew ......"
Song Pingguo's footsteps faded away, and after hearing the sound of the door closing, Lei Qiu took away the ears that were attached to the door panel and turned his head to look inside the storage room.
The pantry was mostly old furniture of very old style, not very dirty except for a thick layer of dust on the surface - but Raichu was worried about whether there would be rats in it, as a child who grew up in the countryside and had a lot of experience in fighting rats with adults, although she was not afraid of mice, she still did not dare to deal with rats with her bare hands. But it's all old furniture, and there's no food, so there shouldn't be any rats.
No sooner had the idea taken shape in Rachel's mind than she saw a dark figure running quickly between the two cabinets.
According to her years of experience in fighting rats, it must have been a mouse.
When Song Pingguo came back from outside, there was silence in the storage room. She knocked on the door with some concern: "Raichu? Are you okay? β
"Not yet." Raichu's listless voice came from inside the door, "Little Apple...... I feel like I've spent all my luck meeting you in my lifetime. β
"Huh?" Song Pingguo smiled and asked, "Why did you suddenly say that?" β
"Otherwise, how could I have encountered so many unfortunate things since I fell in love with you." Raichu sullenly explained, "There are rats here. β
"I'm sorry, but it's my fault to expect anything from your romantic cells." Having said that, Song Pingguo still lay down and looked into the storage room through the crack in the door, "There are mice?" Isn't there a lot of old furniture in there, and if you stand on that old desk, the rats won't be able to climb up. β
"I'm fine, I've got more experience with rats." Raichu slapped the door twice, "Hurry up and get up from the tiles, it'll catch a cold." By the way, what did that locksmith say? β
Song Pingguo laughed dryly: "The locksmith said that when the landlord comes back, she will come to open it for you immediately." β
Raichu whimpered and slammed his fist on the door: "Okay-hating-disgusting-ah-"
"Alright, alright, wait until evening, I'll always be here with you. Wait a minute, I'll go get your phone, Gong Xiao might call you recently, right? β
"Hmm...... Bring me my script too. β
Song Pingguo could hear that this voice was eighty percent Leiqiu scratching the door depressedly.
Although the crack in the door was narrow, a few pieces of paper could still be easily passed, and Song Pingguo made a copy of the script that Lei Qiu had annotated, and stuffed it into her from under the crack in the door in batches. He opened the original curiously and looked at the small words written in the blank space by Raichu: "What does it mean to eat more in the morning of this filming?" β
"That's literally." Raichu turned his head and replied to her, "If you look closely, you basically cry in that scene, and crying and laughing are very physical. β
"Basement" is more like a hybrid of a movie and a drama since the heroine is locked in the basement. That part of the film makes it easier for the camera to show no detail, and the fixed stage and a large section of inner monologue are convenient to play the characteristics of the drama.
Gong Xiao also seems to know that Lei Qiu is much more professional than herself in this regard, she did not clearly mark which ones are just descriptions of the heroine's psychology and which ones are lines to be said directly, and deliberately added a line of explanation, so that Lei Qiu can decide for himself which ones to say and which ones are just as annotations to the plot.
Raichu also carefully distinguished the part to be said from the part in his heart, line by line, and occasionally even deleted or added a sentence or two.
"Gong Xiao also gave you such a big authority?"
"Because I'm a professional." Lei Qiu put the two pieces of paper on the cover and title page of the script on the floor near the door, and finally made room for himself to sit down without worrying about dust, "Gong Xiao is also a smart person, and he knows that he should leave things to the insider." β
"You're not very professional in this area." Song Pingguo laughed, "You are an actor, not a screenwriter." β
"Yes, if I am asked to write some wonderful plot, I can't do it, but I am not the kind of person who acts with enthusiasm, I have a clear mind and know how to act in order to have the best effect. It's like some food critics who can't cook themselves, but they can point out the shortcomings of the dishes, of course, the premise is that Gong Xiaoye himself is not a professional screenwriter, otherwise it's like you chefs who are criticized by inexplicable critics who can't cook, and you will definitely feel very angry. β
"Alas, you who are engaged in art sound more powerful, unlike our chefs, who are firewood, rice, oil, salt, sauce, vinegar and tea every day."
"If you studied as a stage manager in college, if you successfully find a professional job after graduation, you are not also engaged in art now." Lei Qiu clapped his hands excitedly, "Hey, little apple, I see you did a good job last time, but you are a little inexperienced, when I make some more scenes to save some money, and my life is a little more stable, you can also devote yourself to the art career!" β
"Hmph, I don't want it." Song Pingguo, who was leaning against the door, replied to her, "Tossing and turning, I still like the stable life of firewood, rice, oil, salt, sauce, vinegar and tea every day, whether it is to be in the limelight on stage or in front of the actors, it is not suitable for me." β
ββ¦β¦ Did the failure of the last handsome trick leave you with too deep a psychological shadow? β
"Leiqiu, if you dare to say one more word, I will keep you locked up for three days and three nights and not let you out."
Fortunately, Aunt Sun is a warm-hearted person, and she usually has a good relationship with the tenants, especially Song Pingguo, so she hurried back from outside before the evening and asked the locksmith to open the door for Lei Qiu to let her out.
"Wait a minute, don't leave the door open yet! Little Apple, hand me some stick, and I'll get this mouse done. β
Song Pingguo quickly handed over a feather duster from the crack in the door, Lei Qiu took the feather duster, pushed the door shut, turned his head and pushed the mouse that was running in her direction, she was not sure if she could get the mouse this time, in order to prevent the mouse from climbing up along the feather duster, she quickly raised her hand and looked at the mouse on the ground that was already motionless.
"Alright." Lei Qiu opened the door and took the trash can handed in by Song Pingguo, and swept the corpse of the mouse into it with a feather duster, "I can finally have a good restββ"
Just then, Raichu's cell phone rang.
Lei Qiu, who was stretching his waist, reluctantly took the vibrating mobile phone from Song Pingguo's hand: "Gong Tou'er sent a text message asking me to go over immediately...... Then I'll go first, and I'll let you know in advance if I don't come back for dinner in the evening! β
I have to say that everyone can see that Lei Qiu is really looking forward to filming this drama, otherwise she wouldn't have run so fast, and she didn't hear Song Pingguo calling her behind her: "Are you sure you don't take a shower before you go?!" β
So when he saw the grizzled Lei Qiu appear in front of him, Gong Xiao also put down his mobile phone and gave her a standing ovation: "Have you personally simulated the plot in the past two days in order to achieve a better performance?" β
Raichu is using the reflection of his phone screen to check for cobwebs in his hair: "Did Mulberry Tree promise you?" β
Gong Xiao, who was poked in the sore spot, didn't say a word and pressed Lei Qiu on the chair he was sitting on just now: "If you use this matter to hurt me, I will deduct your money, wait here, I will call the director over first to let you get acquainted with it." β
The preliminary preparation before filming this drama was too simple, Gong Xiao also rented a first-floor house with a basement, the part on the first floor was set up to shoot the pre-plot before the heroine entered the basement, and the part of the basement was used to let Lei Qiu complete the highlight of the movie, and the investment was so small that Gong Xiao felt that the money was not enjoyable at all.
In "Basement", there are a total of three characters who really have a role.
Luo Qing, the director of the play-within-a-play, Wen Huan, the actress played by Lei Qiu, and Zhuo Yu, a female singer who could only hear her voice and couldn't see her face throughout the whole process.
When people are on the verge of death, they always have ** that they want to talk to, and they always want to make sure that they are not a lonely soul, and of course Wen Huan is the same.
After Wen Huan found out that she was trapped, the first thing she wanted to do was to take out the mobile phone in her pocket for help, but this basement could not receive a mobile phone signal at all, not to mention that after she opened the back cover of the mobile phone, she found that even the SIM card had been pulled away, and only the SD card remained in the card slot.
In this case, a mobile phone that cannot be contacted by the outside world is just a piece of scrap metal.
After trying to find a way to escape, Wen Huan, who was in despair, took out her mobile phone again, she desperately wanted to find someone to talk to, or hear someone else's voice, she opened the radio app on her phone without hope, and found that there were still several episodes of the program that she had downloaded locally.
It was Wen Huan's good friend, a singer named Zhuo Yu, who participated in the production of zuΓ²'s radio station.
said to be friends, in fact, they met by chance when the two of them first debuted, and there was never any cooperation and intersection, maintaining a stable relationship that was neither salty nor light, and occasionally going out to drink tea and chat together to talk about their troubles.
Wen Huan didn't bring headphones, but she didn't need any headphones to listen to the radio on this occasion, so she found a comfortable position in the corner and pressed the play button.
She hadn't heard this episode of the show yet, it started with a conversation between the two hosts, and after about two or three minutes, Wen Huan finally heard her familiar voice.
Just looking at Zhuo Yu's appearance, many people probably think that her voice is a little gloomy like herself, but in fact, whether it is her character or voice, it has nothing to do with the word gloomy.
The content of this radio station has always been not nutritious, and the issues in which Zhuo Yu participated are no exception, mainly based on chicken soup for the soul, supplemented by life perceptions, although there is no nutrition, but there is no flesh and numbness to disgusting, from beginning to end it exudes comfortable liveliness and brightness.
Wen Huan usually likes to listen to this radio program very much, but for the moment when she is in the quagmire of despair, this kind of program will only make her more depressed.
But she still kept her phone on, listening to the downloaded radio episodes until the battery ran out.
I probably think deep down that the voice of the same kind can bring me the motivation and hope to survive.
The actor who plays the director in the play is called Ren Hongru, who is a drama actor like Lei Qiu, and he is an old-timer of Lei Qiu in every sense, he always looks like he is smiling, and he gets along as kindly as he looks.
And the real director is an old acquaintance of Leichu.
"You said that you came to squeeze me when you were short of money, why didn't you squeeze me when you were short of money?" Xia Yiming complained to Lei Qiu dissatisfiedly, he glanced at Gong Xiaoye's direction, and deliberately raised the volume of his speech, "It's strange that this kind of person can find a girlfriend!" β
Gong Xiao, who was poked in the sore spot, also turned his head stiffly: "What is it called squeezing you, I trust your ability!" β
And the last person, the one who dubbed Zhuo Yu, was a bit unexpected by Lei Qiu.
When she confirmed to Gong Xiao that this was indeed Bai Jing, Lei Qiu rushed over like a loose pet dog rushing towards its owner, grabbing Bai Jing's hand and shaking it up and down vigorously: "Bai Jing!" I'm a big fan of yours! Really, really, not a polite remark, I bought every album of yours, listened to it whenever I had the chance, and I could memorize the lyrics of each song...... Can you sign me...... Oops, why didn't I bring a notebook......"
"Raichu." Gong Xiao also patted her on the shoulder, "I think if Song Pingguo is here now, you will be the same as me." β
"What is the same as you?"
"I don't have a girlfriend like me."
