duet

Although he made an appointment to "visit the class as soon as he is free", it will be a month before Zhou Nian sees Pei Xun again.

He has never made a costume film before, and he doesn't know much about this kind of film, so naturally he needs to spend more time.What's more, "Xia Ke Xing" is still a movie with a lot of martial arts elements - in the previous preparation period, the agent has hired a martial arts coach for him to train one-on-one. After joining the group, it still takes a lot of time every day He and the martial arts director of the crew repeatedly pondered the movements.After the daily shooting, I am often exhausted, so tired that I just want to lie on the bed and never wake up from sleep.

Every director has his own unique style, especially those who have been famous for a long time.For example, Bai Hua, who is casual on weekdays, is almost strict when she enters the working state.As for Director Liang, who has long been well-known at home and abroad, he lacks the straightforward sharpness of Bai Hua. He looks easy and approachable, but he does not relax his control over actors, and is even more strict.For a long time, unlike the fast-paced filming methods in the current circle, his films are notoriously "slow". Whether it is filming or production, he has repeatedly pursued refinement at all costs. " means.

It might be difficult for him to adapt to such a high-intensity shooting method if he was the man he was half a year ago.In the year when he was almost frozen, he hardly worked with directors who were strict with him, and almost all of the films he received were small films with poor scripts and casts, and then he starred in "Seven Degrees of Youth" as an assembly line For youth dramas with mediocre homework, it is inevitable that the acting skills will be unfamiliar.Fortunately, I met Bai Hua later, and with his almost oppressive training method, I finally regained the feeling I should have when acting.

Even so, the next film after a short break is such a difficult type. Although it is not impossible to keep up with the director's rhythm, it is somewhat out of breath.

Unlike the young and cheerful teenager in "Mountain Ghost" at the beginning, the protagonist of this film has already shouldered a lot from the very beginning.In terms of character and heart, he "must believe in what he does, and he must be fruitful in his actions. He must be true to his promises, and he will go to the plight of scholars. He has already survived and died, and he does not show his ability and shame his virtue"*; he is upright and serious. Friendship, caring for the common people, and worrying about state affairs, is undoubtedly a very positive character.However, such a "great man of chivalry" has been wandering all his life. He has never achieved real stability for a day, and he did not end well in the end.All the good he did turned into evil and returned to him; all the people he tried to save died in his arms in the end.

The filming has been going on for more than a month, and it is advancing to the most difficult part of the protagonist's fate. The character's mood fluctuates greatly, and he has been in suffering for a long time.Too deep negative emotions will always affect the actors themselves more or less, and Zhou Nian cannot escape this disaster, and his mood is inevitably depressed.

At the same time, the contact between Pei Xun and him gradually decreased.He knew that Pei Xun was very fond of this international art exhibition, and had been preparing for it recently: before he entered the group, this person could stay behind closed doors all day; It often took a long time to focus on the painting, and even to reply to his messages.Accustomed to getting along day and night before, the sporadic information is no longer satisfying.The loss of not seeing anyone for a month has formed a huge gap with the previous events, and the depression in my heart cannot be resolved, so I can only talk to Lin Chen occasionally.

Lin Chen plays the male number three in this film.He is often ridiculed as "a man born in the wrong dynasty". He is very suitable for ancient appearances. He has been active in various ancient costume film and television dramas, and it is not surprising that he was invited to participate.It's just that the two broke up at a dinner party earlier, and they haven't been in touch since then.At this time, there is a sudden intersection at work, and it is inevitable to be a little awkward at first.

Fortunately, Lin Chen obviously didn't seem to have any grudges. On the first day after joining the group, he greeted him as if nothing had happened, and they were still very friendly while talking and laughing.Zhou Nian is not a person who is used to calculating, but he is very sensitive about Pei Xun's matter, he hit him hard that day, and felt a little bit sorry afterwards.Since Lin Chen took the initiative to show his favor, he has no reason to care about it anymore, but the gap can be covered up, but it is difficult to fill the gap. The two are still friends who can chat, but it is difficult to return to the relationship they used to talk about. relation.

Whether it's acting skills or interpersonal matters, it only brings a little worry, and it's not an insurmountable obstacle.What really gave Zhou Nian a headache was - his father came.

He didn't know that during the time he was away from home, his father had quietly cooperated with the entertainment circle like this.These days, perhaps because the research work has come to an end, he often appears around the set, watching him act in silence.Most of the so-called academic "guidance" in film and television is just name-calling, and those who are serious and responsible are just reviewing whether the plot and props are against the background of the original era, and rarely go to the shooting location to observe the performance of the actors.

Pei Xun's visit to the class will make him more expressive in front of the camera; and his father, who has always been strict and upright, will only make him feel more stressed.

...probably still too immature.Zhou Nian thought.

And he is a professional actor after all.No matter how many worries there are in my heart, what is finally presented under the camera is still an irreproachable picture.

When Pei Xun came, he didn't feel anything wrong with Zhou Nian's mood.

He came suddenly, he didn't tell Zhou Nian in advance, and he didn't even give any warning.Even when replying to Zhou Nian's news yesterday, he deliberately delayed it until very late, and only hurriedly replied "good night", pretending that he was still as busy as before until late at night, and he was still exhausted - usually Zhou Nian sent him He can always see what is prepared at a glance; if it is him who does these things, the concealment is much higher.

Before going out, he was still laughing at himself: Could it be that he was infected by Zhou Nian, and even he started to plan such a little surprise that young people like...

It is undeniable that his miss is far deeper and thicker than he thought.It turns out that getting along with each other can create inertia, but in just a month or so, Zhou Nian has deeply rooted his own existence in his life, taking root and sprouting quietly.From morning to night, the air in the room was soaked with his breath repeatedly. Without him, everything that was used to it became wrong... When we were together, we didn't notice it, and after we parted, we felt the sudden lack.

The autumn sun is bright, and the sky is a kind of lapis lazuli blue, as if the paint is about to pour.Pei Xun stood under the tree next to the studio, watching Zhou Nian enter the camera from the left, riding a horse across the long bridge.

He hadn't seen Zhou Nian's ancient costume yet.The film pays attention to details, and the hairstyles of the characters are different from the loose hair or ponytails that are common in contemporary costume films, but are neatly combed in a bun, making the faces more and more like crown jewels.He was wearing a blue silk robe with a round collar and a white horse with a silver saddle, as bright as a jade tree facing the wind.

Xiangjun's white horse hangs a carved bow, where there is no spring breeze in the world.

He reined in his horse in the middle of the bridge and looked back, tilting his head slightly, his eyes were three parts happy and free, and seven parts solemn.Sitting upright on the horse like this, he suddenly gave off a somewhat destructive feeling, making people want to drag him off the horse, press him to the ground, and peel him out of this dignified watch case , showing the appearance of not being able to ask for it when you are emotional.

Pei Xun looked at him, inexplicably feeling thirsty.

Before he was lost in thought for a long time, someone walked up to him from behind and called out, "Mr. Pei?"

Pei Xun looked sideways.It was a handsome young man who appeared to be an actor in a costume.It looked familiar, and the voice seemed to have been heard somewhere before, but he couldn't remember the name.

"I'm Lin Chen. I'm Zhou Nian's friend." As if knowing that he didn't remember him, the man reported himself, "We met...at this year's "Yi Ren" dinner party."

Pei Xun nodded and smiled at him: "So it's you."

There were quite a few people who struck up a conversation with him that night, and this person's appearance was not the type he liked, so he actually didn't leave much impression of this Lin Chen.Due to his politeness and his status as "Zhou Nian's friend", he put on his old social face and smiled.

He has a special identity and doesn't want to be recognized on the set. He dressed in a low-key way when he went out, and didn't disturb the staff. Just like that, there are still people who can dig him out of the crowd... Did you come?

"Come and see Xiao Nian?" Lin Chen asked him.

He doesn't call Zhou Nian that way on weekdays, but to Pei Xun, he seems more or less affectionate.Hearing this, Pei Xun finally moved his eyes away from Zhou Nian and stared at him, his eyes were still gentle but almost cold.

"We've known each other since college," he said, without flinching, and smiled calmly, showing a clear demeanor, "students in the same class. We've always had a good relationship."

"Really?" Pei Xun was noncommittal.

He didn't seem to be interested in talking, but Lin Chen was obviously not satisfied to stop here.No matter what, if you want to win someone over, you can never go wrong. He said: "You have a good eye. Xiao Nian is a very good person, with great acting skills and a good personality... He told me a lot You can see that he cares about you very much."

Pei Xun smiled: "I know."

His expression finally softened a little.So Lin Chen Chengsheng continued: "He is a drama idiot. He has been in this circle for so long, and his personality is quite pure. If he hadn't had no other choice, he would definitely not have agreed to you easily..."

When he said this, while flattering Zhou Nian, he couldn't help but feel a little sour.He remembered the bouquet of flowers that he sent to the company back then. How innocent Zhou Nian was at that time. He looked like he would not be the same type as him. The gold master is entangled.At the last dinner party, he guessed that the two of them hadn't broken off, and sure enough, they got together again somehow.

"I definitely won't agree easily", the emphasis is on the last "easily" and "agree", which seems to be a compliment, but there are actually small thorns wrapped in it: You two should stop playing so sincerely, I know, The essence is not a nurturing relationship.

In half a year, many things can already be changed.Six months ago, Zhou Nian was still a third-tier star in Ban Xuezang's state, but now he has won several enviable film contracts one after another.He doesn't believe that there is no help from Pei Xun behind this, and it is inevitable that he is a little unbalanced.But this sentence did not control the scale well. As soon as he finished speaking, he immediately regretted it. What kind of paragraph is Pei Xun, how can he fail to understand the meaning of this sentence--Pei Shao is angry, and things will not be good after that done.

But Pei Xun didn't seem to notice his faux pas.From Lin Chen's point of view, his focus is very biased: "Promise me? Promise what?"

Which one is this?The nobleman forgets so much, is this amnesia?He had to remind: "Didn't you send him a bouquet of flowers? After seeing the flowers, Xiao Nian hesitated for a long time before making up her mind to agree to you..."

He didn't finish the sentence.He is a veteran in observing words and expressions, so he can naturally see that Pei Xun's expression is not right, it doesn't seem like the reaction he should have after hearing this sentence.

In the silence he left behind, Pei Xun seemed to be startled for a moment, as if he was recalling something quickly.He glanced at Lin Chen, then turned back to look at Zhou Nian, and after a while, he smiled softly.
