An Athlete Held up by an Entertainment Career

Li Feifei took a few photos according to Xu Qiao's instructions, and handed him the phone to look at.

In the photo, Xu Qiao's sideburns and water stains on his face are clearly visible, his eyes are half closed, his face and lips are too pale, and anyone who looks at it can tell that he looks sick.

A wide towel was wrapped around him, covering his entire body tightly from neck to feet.Only a small piece of white cloth was drilled out from the bottom of the towel, the size of half a palm, and it blended with the color of the white towel. You can't see it unless you click on the picture and zoom in.

"Brother, why are you filming this?" Li Feifei was a little puzzled, wondering if it was his brother who wanted to show sympathy?

Well, it looks really strange and pitiful.

Xu Qiao raised her eyes and spoke slowly, with a bit of real pleasure: "Sooner or later it will come in handy."

Be prepared, sooner rather than later.When it is brought out by someone with a heart in the future, the word "evidence" will be worried.

After picking a picture and uploading it to Weibo, Xu Qiao added a cheering emoji as the copywriting, put the phone aside and ignored it.

Li Feifei wiped his hair with a towel and shook Xu Qiao's hand. It was frighteningly cold: "Brother, go and change quickly."

Xu Qiao rubbed her temples, finally got up and went to the changing room with dry clothes.There was a cold wind blowing on the road, and through the drenched white dress, the chill seemed to penetrate into the bones.Xu Qiao felt cold all over, and felt a numb pain in the back of her head.

It was a little dark before his eyes, he walked unsteadily, held on to the locker room door, and panted slowly.

"Are you coming to change clothes too?" A familiar voice came from behind.

Before Xu Qiao had time to turn her head, she fell down.

Before he lost consciousness, the man caught him in time, with a pair of powerful arms around his waist.Xu Qiao only felt her face pressed against the man's warm neck, and there was a smell of rum mixed with ginger and honey, which was a bit spicy and warm.

When he woke up again, it was already pitch black outside the window.

In a daze, Xu Qiao smelled the pungent smell of disinfectant and knew that she was in the ward.

The wet clothes on her body had already been changed, and her cold hands and feet were relieved. Lying under the warm quilt, Xu Qiao felt lazy for a while, unwilling to open her eyes, and wanted to sleep for a while.

However, there were bursts of "good", "perfect" and "unbelievable" game sound effects in my ears.The voice was deliberately turned down, but once he woke up, in the silent ward, it stubbornly got into his ears, and he couldn't wave it away, which made him close his eyes and frown.

Xu Qiao thought that Li Feifei was playing a game, and muttered, "Turn down the volume."

The sound effects of the game were obediently turned off, and Xu Qiao was about to go back to sleep when suddenly a vague smell of perfume came into his nose.

Li Feifei doesn't know how to use perfume.Thinking of this, Xu Qiao opened her eyes, and some familiar faces of men appeared in front of her eyes unexpectedly. The scent of spicy ginger and sweet honey mixed into her nostrils quietly.

Xu Qiao was stunned for a moment, then turned over and sat up.

Xu Siyi sat on the edge of the bed, her long legs resting on the ground, her relaxed posture seemed to be photographing the cover of a magazine.

He looked at Xu Qiao, and slightly lifted his lips: "I'm awake."

"Where's Feifei?" Xu Qiao looked around the ward where there were only the two of them, and her eyes quietly fell on Xu Siyi. Realizing that he might not know the name, she changed the way of asking, "Where is my assistant?"

Xu Siyi replied: "I went to buy you food."

After getting the answer, the ward fell into a brief silence.

Recalling the faint smell of perfume before she fell into a coma, Xu Qiao said hesitantly, "You sent me to the hospital?"

Xu Siyi hummed.

Xu Qiao paused, then looked away: "Thank you."

Xu Siyi leaned forward, slightly lowered his slightly elongated eyes, and stared at Xu Qiao with a smile.

Unlike Xu Qiao's long eyelashes, his eyelashes are not long, but very dense.His brow bones are well formed, slightly protruding, his eyes are sharp, and his brows look deep and clean.

Xu Qiao didn't know what to say, but at this moment the sound of the doorknob being unscrewed came, and the faint embarrassment dissipated.

Li Feifei walked in carrying the porridge, and heaved a sigh of relief seeing that Xu Qiao had woken up: "Brother, you are really awake."

Seeing Li Feifei came back, Xu Siyi stood up, buttoned up the peaked cap that was put aside, put on the mask, and waved to the two of them: "I'll go first."

He was about to turn around, when he thought of something, he turned around again: "Do you want the role of little Taoist priest?"

Knowing that the final role was not Xu Qiao, Xu Siyi knew what was wrong without thinking about it.

Xu Qiao was stunned for a moment. He didn't care if he didn't get the role, and he didn't have much regret.There are some upsets, but it's not because he didn't get the role, but because others robbed him of his things.As for the character itself, I don't have any attachments.

To be honest, he prefers the male protagonist of the water ghost chapter, but he also knows that this role will not be his.

So Xu Qiao shook his head.

Xu Siyi glanced at him, nodded, turned and left.

Li Feifei sent Xu Siyi to the door, looked at his leaving back and felt as if he had forgotten something, thought about Xu Qiao's body, and hurried back to the ward.

Sitting down beside Xu Qiao, Li Feifei opened the lid of the porridge and said, "Brother, you were too tired in the afternoon. It was cold and windy that made you faint. Now you still have a little fever."

"Director Jiang told you to go back to the set when you are healthy. Don't worry." Passing the porridge to Xu Qiao, Li Feifei sighed, "Just stay in the hospital for two days. Let's go back after Guan Han leaves."

When Guan Han was mentioned, Li Feifei couldn't hold back his anger and rolled his eyes.

Xu Qiao took a sip of porridge and hummed.

"It's really thanks to Xu Siyi this time." Li Feifei sighed and frowned again, "I always feel like I forgot something."

Xu Qiao raised her eyebrows and said casually, "Do you want your autograph?"

Li Feifei's face froze, he let out a wail, and forgot to ask for an autograph again, twice, he is not a qualified fan!

When Xu Qiao recovered from illness and returned to the set, Guan Han had already left.

For the past three days since she came to play a guest role, the entire crew has been in an inexplicable low pressure. It will take a while before this person finally leaves.

Jiang Wen's complexion became more and more ugly day by day, and others did not dare to touch him, and he was careful in doing things, for fear of making a mistake and being scolded by the angry director.

After Xu Qiao came back, many people breathed a sigh of relief.

We all know that Jiang Wen is very satisfied with Xu Qiao, and this time he is back, the director can always feel better.

The assistant director reviewed the shots of Guan Han for the past three days, his face wrinkled, and he sighed: "Director Jiang, Guan Han's time is too tight these three days, and she also, uh, did not perform well, and there are not enough shots available. ..."

He said it politely, but Jiang Wen didn't shy away from it: "Poor performance? I don't think she didn't even think about acting well, did you tell me that she didn't perform well?"

The assistant director choked for a moment, not daring to take up the conversation, and said again: "Should we pay some more money and invite someone back to make up a few shots..."

Jiang Wen gave him a cold look: "I don't want to give her any more money."

have to.The assistant director silently closed his mouth.

Jiang Wen paced back and forth irritably, not only because he didn't want to pay her any more, he even wanted to get back the salary he paid earlier.

Playing all the fucking stuff.

I regret it, I really regret it, the high salary was spent, just this performance, a loss, a real loss.

It's not like he hasn't heard of it from other directors. Some actors, because of their popularity, love to work hard. It seems that they will be sorry for their "big coffee" status if they don't work.For example, after signing a play for a few days, but not being able to complete it, many of them just changed ways to increase money with the crew.

I'm not used to her stinking problem, I'm just picky, and I don't want to give her more than a dime.Do you expect me to ask the great god to pay you back with a low-key glance?Do you have a good idea, thinking that I really dare not release your shit-like shots?

Jiang Wen rolled his eyes, and felt a little comforted at the thought of Xu Qiao.

Fortunately, there is someone who is sensible and doesn't make trouble, who is extra worry-free, and this money is worth the money.

The assistant director continued to look at the camera, frowned and said: "Director, Xu Qiao's face is exposed in these few frames. It's not very obvious, but you can see it if you really slow down. Let's see if we can cut it out or make it up." A camera, change to a faceless one?"

"No need to cut it." Jiang Wen didn't think about it.

"what?"

Jiang Wen laughed, and the laughter was a bit cold: "What are you cutting, how beautiful is this shot?"

The assistant director was worried: "But... what if someone finds out that it's a substitute?"

"Just one or two frames, I can't find it." Jiang Wen patted him on the shoulder and comforted him.

If you find it, you will find it.

The director said so, what else could he do?The assistant director continued to review the shots, and after the review was over, he was even more worried: "Guan Han has too few shots available here, director..."

Jiang Wen's appearance looked very much like a broken jar: "Well, less is less."

The assistant director opened his mouth, thinking, did Director Jiang give up the treatment?

Jiang Wen looked at his worried look, moved his eyes to Guan Han's face in the camera, and snorted again, "I advise you to be kind, I advise you to be good."

Jiang Wen was not afraid of what Guan Han might do to him.He has been shooting some small web dramas for the past few years, whether he makes money or not is another matter, but it always deviates from his original intention of studying directing.Jiang Wen originally planned that if the response to "Let's Talk" is still mediocre, then forget about changing careers.

After having this idea, he didn't care if he would offend Guan Han.So what if you get offended, buddy, I'm not in the entertainment industry anymore, so what do you like.

The field assistant came over and told him that Xu Qiao was back.

Jiang Wen looked a little better.

He watched Guan Han's movie, and then opened Xu Qiao's movie to watch.From Jin'er's to him acting as Guan Han's stand-in, using Meng Xuan's appearance to act.

Jiang Wen took out a cigarette and lit it, holding it between his fingers without smoking, as if he was in deep thought.The assistant director glanced at him, feeling that something was wrong with Jiang Wen today.Jiang Wen is a bit addicted to cigarettes, but he never smoked on the set before.

"Director Jiang...?"

Jiang Wen waved his hand to indicate that it was okay, and paced back and forth, with many thoughts popping up in his mind.

"Let's Talk" was the last chance he gave himself, and he decided to quit this line of works if he couldn't make a splash anymore.Who doesn't have any ambitions to enter this line at first?It's just that opportunity and ability are indispensable. After so many years of ups and downs, he is still a little-known director, so he is always a little disheartened.

But after all, having directed so many plays, the experience and vision are still there.He could see the charm of Xu Qiao in the camera, even if there were not so many scenes, as long as he was on the camera, even if the hero and heroine were around, he would be overshadowed.

It is an attraction that can firmly grab people's attention, just like a bright color suddenly breaking into a black and white photo, it is too prominent.This also made Jiang Wen have a little more secret expectation and confidence in "Chat the General", a web drama that was supposed to be doomed to fail.

Jiang Wen stubbed out the cigarette and made a decision.

At one o'clock that night, after the day's filming was over, Jiang Wen left Xu Qiao behind.The screenwriter of "Let's Chat" is also left behind.

In the chaotic and crowded studio, all the headlights were turned off, and only the three of them kept an incandescent lamp above their heads, drawing a striking circle of light in the darkness.

Xu Qiao saw Jiang Wen spread the script in front of him and the screenwriter.Jiang Wen clicked on the script whose footer was worn out, and said in a calm voice, "Do you know what you two are staying today?"

I left myself and the screenwriter, and took out the script, obviously I want to change my own play.The corners of Xu Qiao's eyes curled up beautifully, and her voice was a little tired and lazy: "The director thinks the script needs to be changed?"
