Chapter 19: Bitter Melon and Tension

"Devouring the World", as an advertising film, is definitely not as low-key as "The Old Man Sings", which Gong Xiao also filmed entirely for feelings and interests, and there is still some publicity and hype. As a young actor who has only one decent work in the TV drama industry and this one has not yet been released, the focus of publicity is definitely not on her.

The topicality of "Devouring the World" itself is too powerful, and there is no need to study related majors, Song Pingguo can name a few with her experience in scrolling through Weibo and hot spots these days: the male protagonist is an actress, there are big-name cameos in every episode, serious advertising, and feelings recommend deep alley food......

And the investor has money.

"This kind of online drama - especially this kind of particularly selling online drama, in fact, does not need to spend too much money on publicity, just spend money to light a fire, and then wait for it to go viral." Raichu sighed as he drank the lamb soup with chili peppers in the bowl, "Oh my mom, this is so delicious!" ”

"In the summer, drink mutton soup and add chili peppers, and you are not afraid of getting hot." Song Pingguo looked at the white flower soup in her bowl, and felt that she really couldn't raise her appetite to drink this on a hot day, "You're going to join the group tomorrow, right?" ”

Sweating profusely, Raichu put down the bowl and glanced at the calendar on the wall: "Yes, it's filmed now in time for the winter." ”

Compared to autumn and winter, which are full of appetite, the heat of summer always makes people less inclined to eat. Song Pingguo didn't dare to say this sentence in front of Lei Qiu, if it was said that Lei Qiu was expelled from ordinary humans last time, then this sentence directly expelled Lei Qiu from human beings.

Song Pingguo was very suspicious that she might have evolved this physique that was not afraid of heat in order not to let the temperature affect her appetite.

The online drama commercial "Devouring the World" sounds like it doesn't sound as stylish as the large-scale ancient drama "The Old Man Still Sings", but when it comes to the internal configuration of the crew, the crew that devours the world can throw off the "grass stage team" that the old people still sing. After all, it is purely Gong Xiaoye's hobby to sing, and devouring the world is to go for commercialization.

As soon as Raichu entered, before he could say hello, he was pulled by several makeup artists and pressed to the mirror.

"Hey, doesn't it feel very difficult?"

"Yes, we discussed so much before, let's do it!"

Lei Qiu felt that she was wearing makeup in the crew of "The Old Man Still Singing" before, and she felt that she was putting on makeup, and now she is putting on makeup here, giving her the feeling that she is a lamb to the slaughter, and she was pressed to the ground without saying anything, just waiting for the butcher knife to fall.

"Close your eyes."

Raichu obediently closed his eyes and cooperated.

"I said, what are you laughing at?" One of the makeup artists straightened up and asked Raichu.

"Itchy......" Raichu secretly opened his eyes and looked at her, "I'll bear with it." ”

"You close your eyes, think of something else to interrupt, and you'll be fine for a while."

Raichu is actually a little scared.

She grew up in the countryside when she was a child, and she played crazy with her friends in the village all day long, and later entered the drama school, and she was busy in the daily training, except for her classmates and teachers, she never knew anyone else, and then she went to act in dramas, and she didn't really "break through", and she entered the troupe with the strength and talent she showed when she played Wu Song and fought the tiger, and since then she has followed this troupe to the north and south, and she is still acting with people she knows.

When I was in Hengdian, I first met Xia Yiming, and then I played a supporting role that was barely the protagonist for the first time under Xia Yiming - and the atmosphere of the crew of "The Old Man Still Sings" is indeed a unique wonder.

The sponsor also had a deep revolutionary friendship with Racul. Sponsors also come to the crew to supervise all the time. Lei Qiu and Song Pingguo agreed that Gong Xiao was not here to supervise at all, she was just here to play.

The actor is not a toxic Lei Qiu like Lu An, a sick person, or a Sang Zhi who has nothing to do to brush his face.

Director Xia Yiming is particularly easy to bully.

But the situation here in "Devouring Heaven and Earth" is different, no one in the entire crew is known or able to speak to Lei Qiu, she is used to the few regular partners who cooperate tacitly when singing Peking Opera, and she is also used to the atmosphere that everyone in the troupe is very familiar with, and she came here coldly, she felt like a junior high school student who had just transferred to a new school and was at a loss in the face of the curious eyes of her new classmates.

Fortunately, she has basically overcome the psychological shadow of the word "card" now, otherwise she will definitely be scolded by the new director.

"Alright, you can open your eyes."

Compared with Shan Siyan's appearance before, the makeup that Raichu wants to put on this time is not complicated at all, but it just makes her whole face look more neutral, and the already featureless face is more bland than usual after being blurred like this, which is one step further away from her goal of brushing her face.

In terms of eating, Raichu said that as long as it is delicious, anyone can enter her mouth, but she is actually a picky eater. And the selection is very oriented, there are a lot of Song Pingguo in the vegetables, no matter how much she tries her best, she resolutely refuses to eat, those meat and fried foods that seem to make people very appetizing - really few people will refuse, especially people like Lei Qiu who are particularly adolescent.

In the past few days, in order to make Lei Qiu a little smoother during the "practice", Song Pingguo has completely cooked according to Lei Qiu's preferences, what braised pork ribs and fried loin and spicy chicken are served on the table in a different way, but Lei Qiu, who eats the most, is fine, she and Xu Ran have successfully become angry, so they can only cover their mouths and glare angrily at the culprit Lei Qiu.

Under the righteous gaze of Xu Ran and Song Pingguo, Lei Qiu can still eat very calmly, but it is another matter when there is a camera pointed at him.

For Racul, eating has always been a part of her private life, enjoyment, entertainment, and the love of her life, and when you ask her to move this to the camera, she feels more resistance than she imagined.

may be because of the nervousness in an unfamiliar environment, or it may be this kind of resistance, Lei Qiu felt like a fish in his throat all morning, Gong Xiao also took care of her, and deliberately asked the director to shoot something delicious and small on the first morning, so that Lei Qiu could get used to it.

The directors who devoured the world, Xu Ruoyang and Xia Yiming, have completely different personalities. Xia Yiming was a little stricter when filming, but he was usually a good person, and after getting acquainted, he found that he wasn't really angry when filming, he was just anxious.

Xu Ruoyang is different, he has the outstanding character that every great director who wants to go to the pinnacle of life in the future should have, and in layman's terms, his temper is really bad.

The more nervous Lei Qiu became, the more he couldn't eat, so he couldn't wait to put down his chopsticks and ask the director, "Can I untie my chest and eat?" ”

When Rachu read the script, he felt that the film was a bit like "The Lonely Gourmet", of course, like just that, the protagonist hardly had to speak directly. Most of the time it's mental activities, and mental activities are post-dubbing, and there are only so many lines that Raichu really has to memorize in advance, and they can be printed in three pages.

Especially when she is really eating, she just needs to eat and nothing else.

That's why I feel awkward.

Fortunately, on the first day, the food arranged by Gong Xiao was all small desserts, even if Lei Qiu played abnormally, it could be easily handled, but during the filming, Xu Ruoyang's face never showed a smile, and it sounded very reluctant when he gave it.

The role played by Lei Qiu has never appeared in the play, and the script is only written as "Xiao Wang", an ordinary little white-collar worker who has just entered the company, works diligently and seriously, lives in an orderly manner, and is a standard five-good young man in the new century, and the biggest hobby of this five-good young man is to eat everywhere.

What a warm and healing plot. Raichu thought as he spooned off a small piece of cake and put it in his mouth. It's just for a rustic person like me.

Although the first day was a bit bad, it was a thrilling end, and Raichu stuffed his heart back to his throat, touched his stomach filled with a lot of sweets, and returned home full of anticipation.

The dishes in the evening were as rich as usual, and in order to defeat the three of them, Song Pingguo also specially fried a plate of bitter gourd shredded meat.

Bitter gourd has a nickname called gentleman's dish, and in a dish, it will not let the bitterness get contaminated with other ingredients, even if it is thrown away with other things and fried. Of course, such a noble character can't change the fact that it has the highest picky eating rate, and the vast majority of people still let the bitter gourd suffer in the corner of a dish.

Lei Qiu changed his usual noise, he didn't speak since he got on the table, silently picked up the shredded meat in the bitter gourd shredded meat, silently picked up the rice, and put down the chopsticks after eating a bowl and said, "I'm full." ”

Song Pingguo was shocked: "What's wrong?" Sick? ”

Raichu looked at the ceiling and then at the empty bowl in front of him, "Huh...... I was nervous. ”

Xu Ran patted Song Pingguo under the table and handed over the phone. Song Pingguo looked at the three big words "she is afraid of life" on the mobile phone screen, and immediately understood.

Alas, why did I meet this adolescent girl?

Song Pingguo just wanted to be a life coach and lure her out of this psychological state, but Lei Qiu suddenly pulled something out from under her coat: "Oh, I'm not full, I forgot to take off my corset when I left." ”

"But you're really nervous." Song Pingguo stared at her and stopped.

"Huh?" Raichu, who was just about to get up to serve the meal, stood in place and looked back suspiciously, "Is there one?" ”

"Because you forgot to take off your wig."
