Chapter 20, The Ostrich Mentality
It took three days to shoot this short scene, which was really not easy.
The tires of the two cars burst and hit the tree and overturned, and shouted click, loading Meng Ran with explosive points and installing ejection devices under the car. started shooting again, Meng Ran was hit by a stray bullet in the shoulder, and the small explosive point exploded the blood bag inside, creating the effect of being shot. After the car drove to the designated position, the explosion point of the vapor bomb buried in the ground exploded, and at the same time, the catapult device under the car bounced up, and the car overturned.
This rollover was slapped five times, Brother Long's arm was sprained, and Meng then got bruises on his back to the handle, the back of his head was swollen, and his shoulder was twisted. Di Muti is okay, he has been protected by Meng Ran, but even so, his ass is still slammed.
None of us felt any pain, and it took five shots in a row to complete. Colvin, Meng Ran and Brother Long threw their documents, and it took eight shots to complete. The strength of each throw is different, so it is indeed a bit difficult to shoot easily and catch the ID without changing color.
In the end, there are a few city scenes, and the crew came to the magic capital.
"Hey! Long time no see. ”
"Carter? Why are you here? Di Muti was stunned when she saw Meng Ran, who suddenly appeared in front of her. Meng Ran walked over and said with his hands in his pockets: "The matter in the Star Flag Country has been dealt with, and the inspector and I have left FIB." For some reason, I couldn't find you anytime soon. I'm sorry. ”
"Cut!"
Di Muti looked at Meng Ran, Meng Ran looked at her, and the eyes of both of them were full of longing and stubbornness. Meng Ran smiled at her and walked over, and was about to take her hand when Di Muti swung his fist at him. The two of them just fought back and forth.
"So you don't answer my phone! Let you ignore me! ”
"Do you know how worried I am about you!"
"Bastard! I hate you! ”
Cursing and scolding, Dimuti burst into tears. Meng Ran won her, put his hand on her waist and took her into his arms, patted her on the back, and said softly: "I was sent to the hospital after being shot at the border, and I will be investigated when I return to China after my injuries are healed." The detective and I were sentenced to two years in prison for this incident, until we were released from prison some time ago. I miss you, so I'll come straight to you after I came out. ”
Dimuti looked at Meng Ran and said with tears in his eyes: "Then you won't leave this time, right?" ”
"No, it won't..."
Meng Ran held Di Muti's face in both hands and slowly approached. Di Muti slowly closed his eyes, and Meng Ran kissed it slowly...
"Click!" Brother Long shouted and said perfectly. Meng Ran hurriedly stretched out his hand to the camera and explained: "I didn't really kiss it!" I'm kissing my own hand! Brother Long! Be sure to cut my sentence into the easter egg at the back! ”
Brother Long laughed and said, "Okay, satisfy you, you must cut it in." ”
"Thank you so much!"
Brother Long came up and hugged Meng Ran and Dimuti and said, "Congratulations on the finale!" ”
The scene between these two people is completely over today. Meng Ran and Di Muti didn't leave, they stayed to watch the last scene, after all, after filming this scene, the whole drama was completed, and it was not bad for a while.
A welfare home with a history of nearly 100 years, Brother Long found his file here, and embarked on a journey to find his relatives according to the information on the file. After several tosses, I finally found two gray-haired old men in an alley. The two old men looked at Brother Long, who looked somewhat similar to them, and asked with some excitement: "Young man, who are you looking for?" ”
Brother Long forcibly endured the nervousness in his heart and asked cautiously, "Are you Mr. Chen Weiguo and Ms. Liu Ya?" ”
The old lady stood up and walked over to take Brother Long's hand and said, "Yes, we are." Son, who are you looking for? ”
Brother Long shed tears and choked up and said, "My adoptive father and adoptive mother who adopted me named me Chen Neisen, and I came to find my biological parents. ”
The old man got up and walked over tremblingly, and looked at Brother Long carefully with the old lady, and the three of them hugged each other tightly...
Meng Ran on the side knew that it was filming, and tears still couldn't stop flowing. For him, there is no resistance to this picture of family reunion. Dimuti handed him a tissue and reassured him.
After filming, Brother Long wiped away his tears and walked over, patted Meng Ran and asked, "What's wrong, Meng Ran?" What's wrong with you? ”
Dimuti explained beside him: "Meng Ran grew up in a welfare home, so he couldn't hold back when he saw this kind of picture. ”
Brother Long sat next to Meng Ran, talking to him and enlightening him. Meng Ran's energy passed quickly, and the two chatted about the film and the future development of the film, until the assistant director came over and urged them to go to the hotel to participate in the finale banquet.
In the end, everyone took a group photo together, ending the filming of this movie.
Everyone drank a lot at the finale banquet, and Meng Ran, who had always been self-controlled, was also drunk into a puddle of mud. There was no way, the heads of various departments, Brother Long and other directors came over one by one to pour wine. After more than two months of getting along, their relationship is very close, especially Meng Ran, who learned to use new equipment and some new knowledge of shooting from Brother Long's team, which can be said to have benefited a lot, and a few more drinks are nothing.
He was nothing, but Dimuti carried him back to his room. The drunken Meng Ran blushed and dragged Di Muti to the bed, hugged her, patted her back, and said vaguely: "Xiaoti, I promise you... If I could go back to my world... I'll definitely take you back with me. You are not a substitute for whom... Never... Forever... Nope..."
Before he finished speaking, Meng Ran had already fallen asleep.
Dimuti looked at Meng Ran, who had fallen asleep, and took off his coat and hung it up for him. Lying next to Meng Ran and looking at him, he kissed him lightly on the cheek, said goodnight, and returned to his room to rest.
At noon the next day, Meng Ran and Dimuti, who had packed their suitcases, were reluctant to part ways with everyone at the airport and took a plane back to Bincheng.
When I left, it was mid-September, and when I came back, it was Christmas. The two of them went home first, put away their suitcases, and drove to the company. Fortunately, Meng Ran's car is often driven out by someone when he is away, otherwise the car has to replace a lot of parts in addition to the battery.
The people in the company really haven't seen the two of them for a long time, especially knowing that the two of them went to film Brother Long's scene, they all greeted the two of them warmly. Meng Ran put down Dimuti and drove out by himself. Dimuti greeted everyone and went to Yang Xi's office.
Meng Ran drove the car and bought a huge number of snacks to stuff the car, and by the way, he bought a very beautiful Cardia limited edition necklace and asked the clerk to wrap it. I went shopping again and bought ties for the male artists of the company and earrings for the female artists. The male agent bought the watch, and the female agent bought the cosmetics. It cost hundreds of thousands of dollars just to buy gifts for artists and agents, but he is really not short of money now. His two songs alone earn hundreds of thousands of dollars every month, and after adding the monthly salary and filming money, he still has hundreds of thousands in his account.
After thinking about it for a long time, she didn't know what gift to buy for Yang Xi, so she simply skipped her and bought a big stuffed bear for her daughter Nuo Nuo.
Pulling a cart of gifts back to the company, Meng Ran was really exhausted. went to the front desk and asked everyone to divide the snacks, and came to the agent's office with a large bag of gifts for the artist. After distributing all the gifts to everyone, Meng Ran hugged the stuffed bear, knocked on the door and walked into Yang Xi's office.
Opposite Yang Xi, next to Di Muti, Meng Ran put the stuffed bear wrapped in a gift bag on Yang Xi's table and said: "Long time no see, boss, this Christmas, thinking that you don't lack anything, I didn't prepare a gift for you, so I just went to the toy store and bought a toy for Nuo Nuo." ”
Yang Xi happily accepted the toy for Nuonuo and asked Meng Ran: "How do you feel after filming?" ”
Meng Ran leaned back in the chair and instantly switched to tired mode and said: "Tired, the big production is to run around in the mountains, the sea, and the north." Filming is still very interesting, different directors have different styles, and different equipment will present different shooting effects. I think it's a learning process. ”
Seeing that Yang Xi was about to speak, Meng Ran hurriedly said, "But I still think the agent's job is better." ”
Yang Xi couldn't help laughing out loud and said, "Don't make trouble." Director Lin, the director of the hot online drama and Brother Long all told me about your acting skills and ability, so I decided to sign you as an artist of the company with the highest salary, and at the same time, you are also Dimuti's agent, and the agent's salary has doubled. Also, the video of you playing basketball with Kobe Bryant has become popular all over the Internet, adding a lot of exposure to the company. Director Lin Xian used this video to promote it. On the 27th of the day after tomorrow, at the movie premiere, Director Lin said that you must be there, just in the giant screen hall of Bincheng Cinema on Southwest Road, and let you sing the final ending song, remember to be there. ”
"Okay, I'll take Ti with me."
Yang Xi saw that Meng Ran agreed, and then asked him, "So do you want to think about the contract?" ”
Meng Ran looked at Dimuti and asked her, "What do you think?" ”
Dimuti was in a dilemma. She didn't want Meng Ran to sign it, because if she signed a contract with the highest salary, Meng Ran would be busier than herself, and she wouldn't be able to see him often. Although this was a bit selfish, she still wanted Meng Ran to be by her side.
The reason why Yang Xi wants to sign Meng Ran with the highest salary is inseparable from the strong recommendation of three well-known directors in the industry. Especially Brother Long, who has the best relationship, has repeatedly reminded her privately that she must sign Meng Ran, and his future is limitless. One person can not pay attention to what he says, two people say that it can prove that this person is really good, and three people say it together, then this person must have something extraordinary. In particular, these three are still the top people in the industry. Yang Xi actually cherishes talents.
Meng Ran saw Dimuti's thoughts, thought for a moment and said, "Forget the contract, just double the agent's salary." What happens if I sign a contract with a maximum salary? To put it more ambiguously, I'd rather be the man behind the little till than the woman behind me. ”
Yang Xi thought for a while and said, "Then let's do it, if there is a film and television drama that can need you and Xiaoti at the same time, you can participate directly." All the payroll deduction required taxes, the rest is given to you, the company does not participate in the share, what do you think? ”
Meng Ran got up and lay on the table, facing Yang Xi face to face, and the distance between the tips of the noses of the two people was less than five centimeters. Dimuti clenched his fists nervously on the side, biting his lower lip to endure his emotions. Meng Ran smiled at Yang Xi, and said in a magnetic voice: "Boss, why are you so good to me?" Don't you know I have someone I like? ”
Yang Xi stretched out his finger and poked Meng Ran's forehead, leaned back in the chair and said, "Little brat, you just need to take care of Xiaoti." You really think that you can receive film and television dramas with Xiaoti every day. ”
"It doesn't matter if I shoot or not, as long as Xiaoti has a job."
"Alright, let's go back and rest. Don't forget the premiere the day after tomorrow, and the 29th to the company for the annual summary meeting. ”
"Got the boss. Merry Christmas. Bye. Meng Ran took Di Mu to say goodbye to Yang Xi and left the office to go home. Yang Xi sat on the chair, repeating the picture of the two people just now in her mind, and her heartbeat kept accelerating. She clutched her chest and took a few deep breaths before she managed to calm down.
In the car, Dimuti was in a very bad mood, very bad! Meng Ran was having an affair with Yang Xi in front of her just now, Di Muti didn't sit in the co-pilot when the nest was on fire, and opened the back door with a bad face and sat in the back. Meng Ran knew that she was angry, so she didn't speak, and drove home silently.
Dimuti returned home and closed the door heavily, looking at the loud noise after the door closed, Meng Ran was not angry, entered the password and opened the door and walked in.
"You get out! Don't come in if I don't let you in! ”
Dimuti said angrily as he took off his coat. Meng Ran hugged Dimuti from behind, Dimuti broke free from him, turned around and pointed at him angrily, and was just about to speak, when he was greeted by a well-wrapped gift. Meng Ran touched her head lovingly and said, "Merry Christmas." ”
Dimuti waved his hand away, frowned and still looked at him unhappily, "Don't be hippie and smiley!" It's not something that can be solved with gifts! I'm angry right now, please get out of here, I don't want to see you right now. Immediately! Right away! ”
Originally, Meng Ran wanted to confess to Di Muti today. From the first time the two met, Meng Ran sacrificed his life to save her, and it has taken more than half a year to now. It turns out like this... Forget it, let's leave first, or I don't know what will become of it. If you want to blame yourself, you have nothing to blame for your boss.
Putting the gift on the coffee table and saying sorry, Meng Ran left here and drove back to another home. Listening to the sound of Meng Ran closing the door, Di Muti sat on the sofa and looked at the gift blankly. What was she thinking? Or what could she think?
It's been a long time since I've been back to this little house. Meng Ran tidied up the room, sat on the sofa and looked at the scenery outside, not knowing what he was thinking. opened Weibo and recorded a video of himself holding a guitar and singing, with the text: The world said goodbye, the world is very disdainful, I want to go home, but I can't find my way home. Something happened that made me so sad and so sad that I remembered you in that world. Just because people look exactly the same doesn't mean everything is exactly the same. Good night, I miss you so much. Good night and Merry Christmas.
Copying Weibo and posting it to the circle of friends, Meng Ran put down his mobile phone and looked out the window in a daze, and the mobile phone suddenly sounded a lot of prompts. When I opened it, all the artists and employees of Jiayu reposted his Weibo and commented: Jiayu is your forever home! Looking at everyone's reply, this lonely Christmas doesn't seem to be so cold.
"Looking at you from afar, it is my closest distance, and I don't need you to care for me or hope to be with you. Just quietly with you, not to say more words, willing to do anything for you, dear... Like autumn maple leaves, you are my most beautiful scenery, I know that in your heart, I am just small and about to be invisible. The seat of that fast food restaurant has now been replaced by a new couple, and I have been waiting for you, is it a pity that I know I can't wait for you...."
When Meng Ran recorded this song, his mind was full of hot flowers with his eyes closed, so he added some of his own emotions. I don't know why, he just misses her. Maybe I felt very uncomfortable after being driven away by Dimuti.
Two days later, a grand premiere was held in the giant screen hall of Bincheng Cinema on Southwest Road. After Meng Ran sang the ending song, the main creative team, the leading actors and a group of audiences watched the movie together. After the end, when the audience was interviewed, they all said that the most brilliant part was Meng Ran's fighting scene, which was really fist-to-flesh, clean and neat, and looked extremely comfortable. When everyone looked for Meng Ran again, he didn't know when he left.
Two days later, he showed up on time at the company's annual summary meeting.
In the past few days, he has not contacted Dimuti, and Dimuti has not contacted him, and the two people seem to have completely broken off contact. The people in the big conference room today were very puzzled, Meng Ran usually sat next to Di Muti, why did he sit in the back like other agents today. And it looks a lot more decadent.
Decadence is decadent, Meng Ran went to the front and connected the computer to the projector, put the ppt, and made a detailed report on Dimuti for a whole year, as for the data before he took over Dimuti was provided by Sister Meining, he sorted it out and summarized it together. A fault-free report, Yang Xi didn't say anything, asked him to send the PPT to her mailbox, and asked Meng Ran to go back and sit.
Meng Ran, who returned to his position, went out to pack his things and left the company when other agents were doing PPT. I put my suitcase in the trunk of the car and got on the bus and went to the airport. I bought a ticket to Sanya City and went to Sanya for a vacation.
It's not a vacation, to be precise, I want to leave Bencheng to hide quietly, and by the way, investigate some things with the dog. Goudan said that there was an unusual dimensional fluctuation on Sanya's side, and Meng Ran resolutely came here after hearing it. He had never had such an urge to go back, he wanted to get out of here, he wanted to go back to his own plane. No matter how good other time and space are, they are not as good as your own time and space. However, if Dimuti looked for him at this time, he should dispel the idea of returning to his own time and space. How to say it... Typical ostrich mentality. It's a cowardly act of escaping reality and not daring to face problems.
At this time, Di Muti was looking for Meng Ran as anxiously as Yang Xi. In the past few days, Dimuti has not contacted Meng Ran because she is angry, until she chatted with Tiar, Tiar said something to her, she said: "The relationship between the two of you is not even determined, why do you care about him so much?" After hearing this, Dimuti felt that what he said was right, indeed, there was no need to be so angry and jealous if he was not sure about the relationship. What's more, he and Yang Xi didn't meet each other, but they were driven away by themselves when they got closer, as if they were overreacting.
Seeing him decadent in the company today, Dimuti wanted to tell him that he was sorry, but Meng Ran seemed to have deliberately kept his distance, just not to let her get too close to him. In the end, the meeting was not over, and Meng Ran was gone.
