Chapter 40: The Distance (Revision)

Chen Xitang came out of Wen Jiang's room, stood in the corridor and hesitated for a while, but still didn't knock on Lu Shihan's door again.

Wen Jiang is a soulless.

Smelling ginger is a muddy ball.

Such a person is actually a woman.

Chen Xitang scolded twice in her heart, trying to cool down her face that had warmed up after being tricked by Wen Jiang, and she also stomped her feet a few times at the door of Wen Jiang's room, but she still couldn't vent her anger.

Wen Jiang's bright face, Wen Jiang's smiling tone, and the touch when Wen Jiang's fingers crossed the back of her hand...... All took root in Chen Xitang's mind and lingered.

There are too many etiquette and shame that Tang Si and Chen Xuanlu taught her, and Chen Xitang really can't do the kind of thing that Jiang Shicai did to her.

She pressed her temples, feeling as if a hole was about to burst out and something spewed out.

For example, it can descend banshees, remove the human blood of female demons, and so on.

It's best to splash Wen Jiang on her body to subdue her kind of blood.

**

Chen Xitang didn't take the elevator, she chose to walk to the stairwell at the end of the corridor and slowly walk down the stairs.

It took her enough time to walk down from the ninth floor to figure things out.

Almost all of her knowledge of Wen Jiang comes from the pen and mouth of media people, as well as the revelations of so-called "insiders" on the Internet who have little basis.

However, Chen Xitang also knows that there are many percent of the true and false parts that can be believed.

Before knocking on Wen Jiang's door, Chen Xitang also searched for Wen Jiang's name on Weibo again.

The popular Weibo related to the keyword "Wen Jiang" was released a long time ago by the marketing account, long ago when the news of Wen Jiang's divorce just broke out.

The content is all negative/surface/new/smelling of ginger nightclubs.

This was followed by evidence compiled by Wen Jiang's official fan group to clarify the news, as well as a lawyer's letter from her agency against the marketing account that spread false rumors.

The relatively positive on the homepage of the topic is Wen Jiang's fans on Amway's Weibo of her new work, as well as some photos of some newly held public welfare activities in which Wen Jiang's fan support club participated.

And the latest Weibo about the keyword "Wen Jiang" is almost all fans fighting.

Wen Jiang's fans, her predecessor Lin Xisheng's fans, and Gu Xiang's fans, the three are pinched together.

Pinch character, pinch works, pinch looks, pinch IQ EQ...... Very confusing.

Thinking of this, Chen Xitang was resentful.

MD, just such a woman with a pure love history, robbed her of the man she had been planning for a long time and trying to keep for herself.

She kicked the handrail of the stairs hard, is there still fairness and justice in this world?!

**

Chen Xitang had just kicked the handrail when someone suddenly pushed the door out of the stairwell door on the floor below.

It's still early in the morning, and although it's already bright outside, the staircase passage is still dark.

The other party seemed to be chatting on the phone, and the sensor lights in the stairs suddenly turned on and shot down, and Chen Xitang saw the other party's face that looked like a little white face in the dim light through dozens of steps.

It was his assistant Cheng Fang, who was "assigned" to her car by Lu Shihan yesterday morning.

Chen Xitang and Cheng Fang have also been in contact before, but they have no deep friendship.

It is not polite to listen to other people's *, Chen Xitang didn't continue to go down, and sat directly on the stairs, not minding whether the steps were dirty or cold.

From this short distance, Chen Xitang could only hear Cheng Fang's voice on the other end of the phone.

Cheng Fang smiled and said to the person on the other end of the phone: "Across the Pacific Ocean, do you think I can go back to see you and climb over the wall like in the past!" ”

After a few seconds, Cheng Fang smiled again: "Hey, do you want me to go back so much, do you want me to go back and smash the field, if you really want to do it, is your husband my opponent?" I won the battle, and then you hugged him and cried in distress, and I was a wicked person standing there like that, am I not ashamed? ”

I don't know what the other party said, but after a long time, Chen Xitang heard Cheng Fang's next sentence: "The boy in the cage is enough, you can change my taste." Nothing is good, what happened to the assistant who only promised? I'm having a lot of fun. My affection for my boss is definitely longer than you have for me. ”

After more than ten seconds, Chen Xitang heard Cheng Fang's last sentence: "I really won't go." You can marry and you are happy. I haven't thought about you since last year, and I don't want to see you. Hang up, I'm not wearing any clothes for fear of waking me up, she will answer your call first, and it's cold standing outside. ”

Chen Xitang felt embarrassed.

She didn't dare to breathe out loud.

But Cheng Fang hung up the phone and didn't hurry to leave, standing there and not knowing what he was thinking.

Chen Xitang silently counted the sheep in his heart, and just counted five, when suddenly Cheng Fang clapped his hands vigorously, and the crisp sound made the upper and lower three sensor lights light up together.

Chen Xitang looked over when he heard the sound, and saw Cheng Fang hugging his arms and looking at the place where she was sitting, and asked her with a smile: "Hey, it's been a long time, isn't it?" ”

**

Da Bai and Cheng Fang left the hotel together, and went to a quiet bar in the Spring and Autumn Warring States Film and Television City next to the Cold Night Temple, and opened the wine face to face, Chen Xitang explained: "I didn't mean to listen. ”

Cheng Fang didn't care, he just asked: "Your room is on the fourth floor like Director Chen, you came down from the top and went down the stairs, did you go to find Brother Han and ran into a wall, and you were in a bad mood and walking?" ”

snooped on each other's secret private affairs, and Chen Xitang no longer felt restrained.

She didn't say anything at first, but then shrugged her shoulders and told Cheng Fang: "Don't think about it, it's not as exciting as your story." ”

Cheng Fang picked up the slender wine bottle, aimed at the mouth of the bottle and poured it into his upper lip: "What is my story?" After listening to a few words, you can understand, and your imagination is quite rich! ”

Chen Xitang hummed as recognition: "Don't forget that I'm in the directing department." Storytelling, storytelling, and brain-making stories are all good hands. ”

Cheng Fang shook his head slightly, raised the wine bottle and touched the bottle of wine opposite Chen Xitang: "Keep it secret for me." ”

Chen Xitang responded: "Okay, no one will know from my mouth that you were dumped by your ex, and the other party will let you go to her wedding very ruthlessly and ruthlessly." ”

And you are still pitifully sitting here to drink to kill your sorrows, and it seems that you have even made up a "girlfriend who is sleeping at the moment" even more pitifully.

Cheng Fang knew that she was thinking about the wrong point, so he corrected: "It's not this, the previous paragraph." ”

Chen Xitang pondered for a while, and was not sluggish, she asked: "What about Brother Gongzi and the assistant who only promised?" ”

Cheng Fang took another sip of wine: "Yes, Brother Han doesn't know my family background, he only knows that my relatives are not around, and I don't want to make trouble." ”

Chen Xitang glanced at him: "Oh, that means that your goodness, weakness and whiteness are pretending?" ”

Cheng Fang picked up the wine bottle again and touched the bottle next to Chen Xitang's hand: "Compared with Brother Han, I am weak, well-behaved, and white, which is right." You have misinterpreted my words. ”

Chen Xitang no longer paid attention to him, and only asked: "Then don't talk about this, you know when you smell Jiang, right?" ”

Cheng Fang almost didn't have to think: "Do you still need to ask?" Know. Young people don't know how rare she is, right?! ”

Chen Xitang picked up the wine bottle and pounded the table with the bottom of the bottle: "You know what I mean, you follow Brother Shi Han every day, you know best what he is doing." ”

Cheng Fang spread his hands: "This is definitely a misunderstanding. It's true that I'm Brother Han's follower, but Brother Han has his own*. I can't even know everything about him. What's more, I have a work ethic and never talk about my boss's private affairs. ”

What Cheng Fang said is right and reasonable.

But Chen Xitang's face was still cold after hearing this, his arm was on the table, and he leaned forward to Cheng Fang and got closer: "You know that Brother Han and her relationship is not ordinary, why didn't you remind me yesterday?" ”

Cheng Fang looked at her face, which looked whiter as porcelain after it went cold, and laughed: "Miss Chen, I sat in the same carriage with you yesterday because Brother Han asked me to come over." I have already reminded you out of humanitarianism that Brother Han is not something you can gnaw on, and I still need to remind you that Sister Wen is saving zài? Do I have this obligation? ”

Chen Xitang sighed, wanting to learn from him to drink at the mouth of the wine bottle, but when he picked up the bottle, he still felt that it was not right for him to drink with a half-baked person, so he put down the wine bottle and picked up a glass of warm water on the table.

"No", Chen Xitang felt irritable, but his tone eased, "You don't have this obligation." ”

Cheng Fang bent his eyebrows, and his face warmed up: "You reflect quickly." ”

Chen Xitang glanced at him: "Don't be like this." The tone of your words is very similar to when Brother Shi Han taught me. You've been talking to him for a long time, and the tone is really the same. In addition to your little white face, your posture is also similar. ”

Cheng Fang laughed again: "Thank you for thinking that I am whiter than Brother Han." Brother Han told me that you are quite educated, and you are not so familiar with it, so you will say that people have little white faces, is this appropriate? ”

Chen Xitang gave back to him: "It's not that familiar, you just invite me to drink, is this appropriate?" ”

Cheng Fang looked at her silently.

Chen Xitang reflected on himself again: "It's my problem, I'll follow you when you open your mouth, I'm frivolous." Is it done? ”

She slapped her palms on the table and asked Cheng Fang: "You have been with Brother Shi Han for so long, you should know him very well, tell me, what does he like to smell ginger?" ”

Cheng Fang sighed: "Oh, it's because you want to ask these questions that you came out together?" You seem to have asked me a similar question, and I have already told you that I don't know. In addition, what I hear from you means that their relationship has made substantial progress, and I just knew, or just got it out of your mouth. Is there anything else you'd like to ask me? ”

Chen Xitang didn't believe it, and looked at Cheng Fang quietly with his eyes full of moisture: "Don't bluff me." She's pretty good-looking, but there's something wrong with her personality?! She is not safe enough, even a woman ...... No matter who it is, it's flirtatious. ”

Cheng Fang corrected her: "It's all kinds of amorous, and it's pretty cool." ”

Chen Xitang was a little angry: "You think so too?!" I didn't expect you to be this kind of assistant. She is quite capable of making people blush and heartbeat, but she can't get through it with others, how can she guarantee to treat Brother Han well? You don't know, she doesn't even ...... me."

Chen Xitang swallowed back the word "start".

Cheng Fang suddenly had a flash of inspiration in his mind, combined with Chen Xitang's desire to talk about Wen Jiang, and guessed: "You didn't see Brother Han just now, you went to find Sister Wen?" ”

Chen Xitang moved his lower lip and raised his eyes to look at Cheng Fang.

She didn't speak, and Cheng Fang immediately understood.

Thinking of the words used by Wen Jiang when he came into contact with him, Cheng Fang was really unsure of what Wen Jiang could say to Chen Xitang for a while, but looking at Chen Xitang's appearance, the process should have nothing to do with pleasure.

Cheng Fang said: "Don't blame me for being nosy or speaking ugly. If you are safe, why do you bumper into Sister Wen, isn't this looking for trouble yourself? ”

Chen Xitang glared at him: "Then what should I do?" Is there another way? I saw Brother Han come out of her room early in the morning, and my IQ went offline. ”

Cheng Fang digested an important piece of information from Chen Xitang's words, and looked at Chen Xitang and shook his head: "You are a director, have you watched a lot of films?" When you watch a romance movie, you only have an impression of the female characters in it? ”

Chen Xitang asked, "What do you mean?" ”

Cheng Fang pursed his lips with some regret: "Before the female supporting actress is out, she will first make trouble with the protagonist, maybe you should not move." ”

Chen Xitang knocked on the table with the bottom of the wine bottle again: "You don't understand." I've had a crush on Brother Han for many years, and I finally grew up, there is someone next to him, and I went directly to him What should I do if he annoys me? The relationship between me and Wen Jiang was supposed to hate each other, I went to find her, and it was nothing to make her hate it even more, not to suffer, and not to lose a piece of meat. But Brother Han can't. ”

She withdrew her hand from the bottle again, placed it on her cheeks, and kneaded it vigorously.

What appeared in front of Cheng Fang's eyes were two twisted and deformed buns.

Chen Xitang's words reveal a kind of self-abandonment: "But the strange thing is that I should hate her, or hate her like the plot created for the drama conflict in the movie, but ......"

Not really.

After meeting Wen Jiang, she was quite angry, but it wasn't because she hated it.

Cheng Fang saw that Chen Xitang's troubles had become a tightly screwed rope, and he knocked on the table with his fingers.

He couldn't help laughing: "Don't tell me, do you think Sister Wen is good-looking, so it's quite pleasing to the eye when you look at it up close?" ”

Chen Xitang resisted the urge to splash the wine on Cheng Fangxiao's face, gritted his teeth and jumped out word by word: "Isn't it okay?" Don't break the law, she debuted so early, but I listened, watched, her, song, grown, big, and said. ”

Cheng Fang couldn't help laughing, his face twitched occasionally, and his expression seemed a little distorted at the moment: "Oh, fans." ”

Chen Xitang emphasized: "But I have principles, and in this case, I only consider issues from my own standpoint. ”

Cheng Fang especially wanted to tease her: "It's convenient to reveal, what is your position?" ”

Chen Xitang sued him: "Stand against her." ”

Cheng Fang smiled faintly, and smiled very well: "Well, then I'll take a look at the one you oppose, and I'll help you with the staff." ”

Seeing that he looked like he was watching a joke, Chen Xitang suddenly took off his coat and threw it on Cheng Fang's face, covering his smiling eyes: "Didn't you burn your eyebrows?" You can still laugh at me. ”

Cheng Fang immediately denied: "I am in the past, you are in the ongoing tense, can it be the same?" ”

It's not the same.

After a few seconds, Chen Xitang asked Cheng Fang, and no longer asked whether it was appropriate: "The woman on the other end of your phone, why did you dump you?" ”

Cheng Fang calmly and slowly told Chen Xitang: "I'm poor, she has taken a fancy to my brother." ”

Chen Xitang was curious: "If you are poor, your brother is not poor?" It's not a family to call my brother? ”

Cheng Fang rubbed his eyebrows: "The family can't have a gap between the rich and the poor?" ”

"Do you hate her?"

Cheng put it back: "I don't hate it." ”

Chen Xitang: "Why? ”

Cheng Fang smiled lightly: "Busy, I don't have time to waste it on people who make me unhappy." ”

Chen Xitang glanced at him: "You read a lot of chicken soup for the soul." ”

Cheng Fang didn't deny it, and spread his hands to express helplessness: "It's long, it wants to drink soup, and it's hard for me to control it." ”

Chen Xitang didn't take Cheng Fang's jokes to heart, and only shifted his attention to Cheng Fang's past: "Did she bite you, your ex." ”

Cheng Fang's eyes trembled, and he pondered for a moment before he realized what Chen Xitang meant, and hummed.

Chen Xitang sighed: "It's not responsible for this, it's quite immoral to run to marry someone else?!" After chatting for so long, I'm a little familiar, give me a Jianyì, you can look at people with glasses, be clear. ”

Cheng Fang looked at her for a while, then raised the wine bottle and took a sip of wine, then put it down, and then said to Chen Xitang: "The glasses are hanging on the face and the face is sinking, you look good with the naked eye at this time." ”

Chen Xitang: "......"

After a few seconds, the voice of a young man wailing in pain sounded in the quiet bar.

**

A quarter of an hour away, in the Hanye Temple, the etiquette guidance class is back in order.

Wen Jiang sent Chen Xitang away early in the morning, and he didn't see Lu Shihan alone before the start of class.

It was Chen Xuanlu who practiced her and Cheng Jing alone.

The temperature of the meditation room is not high, almost uninterrupted etiquette practice, posture fiddling for a morning, Wen Jiang is still full of sweat, and her close-fitting clothes are also wet with sweat, just like when she didn't take the singing and dancing route in the past in order to prepare for the concert and surprise the fans, she practiced dancing hard.

When Chen Xuanlu announced his rest, it was rare to chat with Wen Jiang and Cheng Jing about a few words that had nothing to do with Zhou Li.

He asked Wen Jiang first: "The first TV series, right?" ”

Wen Jiang nodded, a little surprised that Chen Xuanlu had paid attention to her.

Chen Xuanlu is one of the few people in the circle in recent years who is not only highly respected, but has not suffered a box office waterloo because of the discord between the quality of his works and the taste of the market, and he is a predecessor who can always maintain a win-win situation in terms of reputation and box office.

Wen Jiang was relatively cautious in his language, and he did not have the ease of facing Cheng Jing alone: "Yes, it is a small screen debut, and I was lucky to catch up with Director Wei's big production zuò." ”

She bit her tongue as soon as she finished speaking.

Previously, she complained that Lu Shihan was high-sounding, but in fact, she was only half a catty.

This kind of expression she calls respect etiquette.

Wei Li also sat on the sidelines to watch the guidance class, and waved his hand when he heard this: "Compared with the cost of special effects for film production, this one is not a big production." The two of you have taken a lot of big productions. This drama is far less expensive than a good film project, and the crew is actually quite poor, too very poor, and they have to save their budgets in various places. ”

Cheng Jing followed: "Director Wei, you are too modest. When I filmed "Honghu", the budget was not as much as half of "The Legend of Xuan Jiang". Those small-scale feature films that release 2D are poor, and those online drama crews are even more bitter. ”

Wei Li smiled: "If you don't cry about being poor and crying about being rich, can the producer who manages the money be happy?" ”

Wei Li handed Chen Xuanlu to see the renderings of the modeling designs of the main characters in the play that had just been released, and wanted to see if he could give some more revisions from a professional point of view.

If there is no problem, the costume is completed, and the makeup photos are taken, and the official announcement will be made batch by batch with the release of the actor list.

Some actors' makeup trial photos have been circulated on the Internet before, and they have attracted a lot of attention.

There are already people criticizing the crew's first version of the look, and the crew's styling design team already has a certain amount of pressure.

Wei Li also regarded Jiang and Cheng Jing as not ordinary, and said bluntly to Chen Xuanlu: "The audience on the small screen may be more critical than the big screen. Fortunately, Wen Jiang and Cheng Jing were originally my first choices, and the similarity of the opinions of the management was an unexpected gain. The last drama was too popular, there were a lot of people auditioning this time, and we were hesitant about many roles, all of which were signed recently. When the camera is opened, if you have time, you can come and visit the class. ”

Chen Xuanlu put on his glasses and began to look at the picture, while continuing what he wanted to say before he finished speaking: "You strive for perfection every time, and I can't grind as well as you when I was young." Xiao Cheng came to try my play, but before the results came out, I saw the news that he was injured and had to stop work, and that cooperation didn't work out. I've also seen the play of smelling ginger. The person you pick, it is natural to shoot with peace of mind. ”

Chen Xuanlu focused his attention on Wen Jiang again, looked at it and looked away: "It's quite fateful to say, the draft you participated in the year of your debut, the judge of the finals was my wife Tang Si, who was still alive at the time, and sometimes I watched her old video clips in the past few years, and I could often see you at that time." When you were shortlisted for the Golden Film Award for the first time with "The Frog at the Bottom of the Well", I was a member of the central group of the judges at that time. The winner should be the old drama bone Jiang Shiyan, but that time, I voted for you. ”

Wen Jiang looked at Chen Xuanlu with a calm expression, slightly surprised.

Chen Xuanlu gave affirmation, Wen Jiang was naturally pleased, but she did not show the honor and disgrace on her face, and only remembered her deceased wife with Chen Xuanlu in the gentlest tone: "Teacher Tang was the idol of all students at that time. ”

Chen Xuanlu's gaze rested on Wen Jiang's face, and he was not humble for his deceased wife: "She has always been a heartthrob when she was alive. ”

Wen Jiang smiled: "It's the same now, everyone still remembers her." ”

Chen Xuanlu nodded with a little relief, and said to Wen Jiang: "Your debut as an actor is the directorial debut of my beloved general Gu Qichi." That's a lot to do. ”

Gu Qichi, who transformed from a movie queen to a female director, filmed the popular youth film "Never Forget", in which Wen Jiang played the female supporting role, so she was named "Qi Girl" for many years.

Wen Jiang didn't expect Chen Xuanlu to come together with these things, but he stopped abruptly and didn't say anything more.

**

The lunch crew still eats in the temple hall.

Cheng Jing followed Wen Jiang's side, his thin lips pursed into a line, and said his question to Wen Jiang: "Director Chen looks very close to you today, do you feel it?" ”

Wen Jiang didn't look at him, looking for another man's figure in the dining hall, but he couldn't find it for a long time, and he was a little frustrated.

She stood up straight, and after failing to find someone, she didn't forget to reply to Cheng Jing: "What do I have that is worthy of Director Chen's approach?" Chen Lao also mentioned your past, could it be that he is also close to you? ”

Wen Jiang's stride became bigger, and Cheng Jing subconsciously grabbed her arm, trying to force her to reduce her pace.

Wen Jiang felt the obstacle from behind, and his speed did slow down, and he almost stopped for a while.

Cheng Jing leaned sideways, his lips narrowly brushed the side of Wen Jiang's ear, his head was attached to Wen Jiang's ear, and he kept gossiping: "Either the new project is interesting to you, or there is a son who looks at you well, so try it first." ”

Wen Jiang stepped on Cheng Jing, and quickly retreated while the people around him were not checking: "Stay away from me, I'm not interested in creating scandals recently." In addition, Chen Lao has no son, don't you know better than me? ”

Cheng Jing guessed in other directions: "Maybe it's a nephew, a righteous son, maybe it's a ...... Himself? ”

Wen Jiang immediately glanced at Cheng Jing, his eyes were sharp, and his gaze was very cold: "Do you think that all the men in the world are Yang Zhenning?" ”

Cheng Jing touched his head: "This is really hard to say, as a friend, I just reminded you." If he is interesting to you because there is a role suitable for you in the new project, then the award is trivial, and it is possible to win a slam, preferably because of this. ”

Wen Jiang: "Can't it be the normal of seniors chatting with juniors in their spare time?" ”

Cheng Jing twisted his eyebrows: "I don't think Director Chen is such an idle person. ”

Wen Jiang moved his lower lip, but still gave up further dialogue with Cheng Jing.

**

Absent from work for almost a morning, Lu Shihan, who had just returned to the hotel to take a shower and change clothes, returned to the temple hall, and a few meters away, Cheng Fang saw the back that he was now very familiar with - Wen Jiang's slender back stood with Cheng Jing, the actor she was going to work with.

Cheng Jing's head was very close to Wen Jiang.

Looking at the past from a distance, it was like Cheng Jing's lips, sticking to the back of Wen Jiang's ears.

Cheng put down his consciousness and tilted his head to look at Lu Shihan beside him.

Lu Shi's face was as cold as a thin cloud, and there were no waves on it.

After they served the food, Cheng Fang began to scan the dining hall with his glasses, looking for a suitable place to sit.

Chen Xitang and Chen Xuanlu were in the far corner, and Cheng Fang automatically avoided that area.

He was still scanning, and suddenly heard Lu Shihan say, "Go this way." ”

Cheng Fang followed Lu Shihan and walked over.

They crossed one unvacant seat after another, and finally Lu Shihan chose to sit in the middle of the dining hall.

The location itself is nothing special, except that on the table opposite the dining table chosen by Lu Shihan, Wen Jiang and Cheng Jing are sitting.

The side where Lu Shihan sat was facing Wen Jiang's face.

Cheng Fang had no choice but to sit opposite Lu Shihan, and Cheng Jing opposite Jiang was back to back.

This position is very special, after Cheng Fang sat down, he felt that his limbs and bones were not very comfortable, and it was wrong anywhere.

He couldn't figure out what Lu Shihan meant.

The hall is so big and there are so many empty seats, why do they want to sit opposite Wen Jiang and them.

Cheng Fang always felt that the current calm was a precursor to an earthquake, and hoped that it was just his illusion.
