Everyone Loves White Lotus

……

It was a winter many years ago. After the Spring Festival, it was the birthday of a friend's sister. Jiang Chenchuan rarely attended such gatherings.

But out of friendship with that friend, Jiang Chenchuan went there and took that person out to play, fearing that he would be bored.

At the banquet, he met a fan of himself. When the fan greeted him, he was too nervous and poured water on the person who was walking with him.

Fans exclaimed.

Jiang Chuanchuan took a tissue to wipe the man's wet sleeves, and the host asked him to change clothes in the guest room.The fan looked very embarrassed and sad for a long time.

The person who was going to change her clothes comforted her and said, "It's all right."

The fan apologized repeatedly, almost crying with sadness, the man made her laugh before leaving to change clothes.Fans saw the person who was soaked by him leave, and Jiang Chenchuan also left with him.

Soon, that person changed into wet clothes, and returned to the banquet with Jiang Chuanchuan again.

Embarrassed and curious, the fans asked the host about their relationship.

After some inquiries, I was surprised and suspicious. Later, after communicating with the owner in detail, the fan wrote some things about the relationship between the two on his blog.

The blog posts are recorded in the form of novels, half-truths and half-false, mostly truthful statements, and the details are blurred.

……

If we talk about Jiang Chenchuan's acting age, it should be counted from the birth of his mother's womb.He was born in a family of actors, his father was a Peking Opera martial artist, and his mother was a drama actor, not to mention his grandfather, uncle, and even uncle.Influenced by art and culture since childhood, the chances of not taking the path of an actor are extremely small.

When he was not famous, he was behind a director of literary films all the year round.The director went to the mountain village in western Yunnan, and also visited the old forest in the border mountainous area of ​​Myanmar.The director was bored on the swaying South China Sea boat for eight months, and he tied a hammock on the boat.The director said that he would shoot in the rainy old city for three years, but later he developed rheumatism unexpectedly.

He was young at that time, and he made his debut in a very biased TV series. When he was on the set of movies, he met a director of literary films. He thought his works were excellent, so he followed him for a long time.

The director never made any promises to him, and never said that he would give him a role, and he had never heard of such words as being popular.The characters who arrange Jiang Chenchuan are all leftover characters, which are irrelevant in the film, and even after the film is completed, they will all be cut out.

He is a very indifferent person, his passion is filming and studying scripts.I don't want to fall in love, and I don't want to think that when his career fails, someone will have expectations of him emotionally.

A few years ago, Bincheng Group fell in love with this director's style and invested in several of his low-cost films. The director had just come out at that time and had only been nominated for a certain award, so he was not taken seriously.

This director is very weird, he doesn't say that you acted well, he asks you to act repeatedly, and then you don't hum when the performance is over, and when the finished film comes out, you will know whether he has cut you in.

I used to be very depressed when I was filming on the set.

No certainty, no hope.

The director would not tell Jiang Chenchuan what role to arrange for you, but just let him wait on the set.Although he looks good, but I do not lack you.Later, this director became famous, and his name was included in the list of directors of the fourth generation of literary films in China, and he is still making literary films now.

At that time, Jiang Chenchuan stayed on the set, followed the crew to switch scenes, and witnessed and heard the eyes, lines, and rival scenes of those famous actors at that time.

One day, there was an actor who was scolded repeatedly during the audition on the set. Later, Jiang Chenchuan said he would try it, and the director agreed, so he went up to act. After the performance, everyone felt that he was better than the actor just now. But the director didn't speak.

He went down.

Still waiting on set.

There was a man named Ye Jingwei who was working on the set of a play invested in Bincheng.One day, after watching a short scene where he volunteered to go up, the director didn't say anything, and he came down.

At that time, he couldn't wait for the director's expression from the expectations of everyone, and he became depressed. At this time, everyone should be sensible and would not make a noise in front of him.

Just this person, say to him, "Why are you acting so well, are you from a family of actors?"

It sounded like a kind of sarcasm, especially to the ears of a person like him who was so lofty in his bones.

Jiang Chenchuan didn't like other people talking to him, let alone full of such exaggeration.So I didn't talk to him.

At that time, Ye Jingwei thought that this person was a little cute, but he was very cold and aloof, so he dismissed this kind of flattery.It's really unexpected.

Sometimes when Jiang Chenchuan stayed on the set all year round, he would occasionally see that person.After the man stepped down from his expression in the crowd watching the play, he praised him with a little enthusiasm.He had a little impression of him.

That person seems to be a scene recorder, but more like a brick. He moves wherever he is needed: tailoring, lighting, recording, and even making props.

Late at night, no matter how late the shooting was, that person was still on the set.

That man's salary was very low, he was disheartened, and seemed to have a good temper.It's not like other interns who just came to the set to run errands, and they gave up after working for two days.He also doesn't seem to have much enthusiasm for those well-known actors, and sometimes he lights up the lights while watching him perform side-end scenes arranged by the director.

Jiang Chenchuan had just finished filming a short part of the character scene that was outside the third line. He regained his senses and went out of the scene. Seeing that person under the stage, he seemed to be insane.

There was a sudden feeling in his heart, but he ignored it.

After work, he didn't participate in the dinner party, but went home alone.It's raining, take an umbrella.At that time, his deepest impression of filming was the lingering, continuous rain that was characteristic of that city. It rained for four full months, with a lot of days and non-stop.

It also shows that he has not yet come out of the haze of this set of tricks.

Gray umbrellas are playing in this old semi-industrial city.

The man seemed to be following him.

He looked back, "Are you traveling with me?"

Ye Jingwei naturally didn't want to go with him, but just wanted to follow behind him. "You are very talented. I have never seen acting so natural and spiritual. Among the young actors I have seen."

When Jiang Chenchuan heard this, he would never express his emotions. He would never reveal his true inner feelings for these compliments and flattery.He is arrogant and aloof.I've always hated such obvious bragging.

He didn't make a sound.

Ye Jingwei walked with him.

Passing by the window, the glass reflects the gray and rainy city.Jiang Jinchuan saw the man, who was neither wearing a raincoat nor an umbrella.

Slightly gray, as if connected with the rain.

He tilted the umbrella slightly, and the two walked under the same umbrella.The silence along the way, he doesn't like to be noisy, and his character has lost more luster in life under the suppression of no achievements and no hope for so many years.

Soon, Jiang Chichuan arrived home.Ye Jingwei looked up, it was a row of old buildings rented out by old residents.

Jiang Chenchuan turned around and walked into the dark stairwell.

The little screw on the set stood on the street, watching his back turn.I can't speak.

As a result, the man turned around again from the dark corridor, walked down two steps, and handed him the umbrella.Then, without even looking at that person, he turned around and entered the stairs.

1 minute, 2 minutes, 3 minutes later...

Ye Jingwei looked up from below until he saw the lights on the fifth floor.It turned out that he lived on the fifth floor, Ye Jingwei wrote it down.

Day two.

Jiang Jinchuan got up from home and tidied up. When he went downstairs, the sky was cloudy and there was still some drizzle. When he went down to the first floor, he saw a figure in the stairwell.

He didn't know who it was until the man opened the umbrella.

The umbrella body was exposed to the light, it was his umbrella.

"Morning,"

Jiang Jinchuan looked at him indifferently, and saw that he was holding his own umbrella, only one, and the man handed it over, and he reached out to catch it.

Ye Jingwei walked beside him, but didn't say much.

The rain is very light, if you don't hit it, it's okay.It's just that the rain will wet the hair and fall into the collar of the nape of the neck.Jiang Chenchuan walked with him on the wet bluestone slab, "Morning."

The umbrella reopened and appeared above the two of them.

……

Still on the set, that person was busier than any actor he had ever seen who had a heavy role in the scene.

Jiang Chenchuan began to pay attention to this person.

The lighting engineer yelled "Xiaojing, this way" in the rush of the set

"Here we come," the man said, and immediately put down the props in his hands, ran all the way to help light, raised the lamp arm high, and stood on the fixed iron staircase shelf of the lighting engineer.

Jiang Chenchuan was also watching other people acting on the set. Occasionally, he raised his head to watch. That person kept turning on the lights. Inside the camera range, it created a strong atmosphere of light in the film. Outside the camera, it was a human arm that was raised high. The same movement lasted for a long time. .

He lowered his head, turned over the professional book a few millimeters, and raised his head again. The scene was stuck again and again, and the person was still in the same posture, with his head slightly tilted and the light on.

The actors and actresses under the light are full of voice and emotion.

The man on the iron shelf was very serious and focused, and he was watching the scene below with a little relish.

"There are not enough people in the field record," a field recorder complained to an assistant director.

"I'm coming, I'm coming," the man shouted without saying a word, and hurried over after finishing what he was doing, "What are you doing?"

So I saw that person busy recording the actor's costumes, dialogue, shot number, etc. of this shot.

Jiang Chenchuan was filming a person who had a crush on someone else, and he was watching the girl he liked dancing.

Then after the director called the card, he saw that person, lowered his head slightly, and recorded the film number, code, which scene and which record, etc. on the record sheet with a pen.

Then I raised my head again, ran between several actors to make clothing records, went to ask the girl actor's clothes, and came to ask myself. "Size L, blue," Jiang Chenchuan told him.

He smiled and nodded, "Okay, I understand."

Sometimes, I often see him, running around, on the set.

When he was making props, he was disheartened, and he handed Jiang Chenchuan the paste that vomited to the production actor. Jiang Chenchuan took it, and he told himself, "It's made of milk and eight-treasure porridge, and it's quite delicious."

Jiang Chenchuan didn't say much, but took it.

I have never been in contact with people I am not familiar with and who I don't like at first impression.

Jiang Chenchuan had never had physical contact with him, and he hated such contact with strangers.

When I vomited, I swallowed a few mouthfuls.

Jiang Chenchuan felt that it was particularly sweet and greasy, with the taste of almond milk and a bit of lotus seeds. Compared with the previous prop water, it tasted much better.

An old reporter injured his hand when he was hit by a smallpox machine, and many people surrounded him.

When Jiang Chenchuan was reading the script, he heard a "bang", and someone ran over immediately.

Subconsciously, Jiang Chenchuan was worried that it might be him, and immediately looked around for his gaze.Finding that the person was not in his line of sight, he hastily passed by himself.

Many people gathered there, and when they squeezed in, they found that the injured was an old employee. Looking around, he was not in the crowd.

As a result, I saw that person running over in a hurry, and saw the injured person, his eyes were watery.

Seeing that his face was wet when no one noticed, Jiang Jinchuan looked very worried, and he followed the crowd to help the old employee up.

Jiang Chenchuan felt that being injured was a very common thing. He was also injured on the set, and none of the people around him showed such a sad look, but that person seemed very sad.

Secretly like wiping away tears.

Immediately, a person next to him patted that person, comforting the little screw and said, "It's okay, you just came here, you have to pay more attention to safety, injuries are common,"

Ye Jingwei seemed to be nodding his head.

Jiang Chenchuan thought this person was a little funny.There are also some things that make him look sideways.He doesn't like this kind of person, although he doesn't know what kind of person he has a crush on, but it's definitely not this kind of person.At that time, I didn't know why I felt a little curious about that person in my heart, and maybe I thought there was something more unexpected about him that I didn't like.

He seemed to hear a lot of people would mention that person.

"Xiaojing, come here, over here," he would even take him with him when eating boxed lunches, and the old dressmaker around Jiang Chenchuan was willing to ask Ye Jingwei to join him.

So the three of them ate together.

When it was time to eat, Jiang Chuanchuan finished eating quickly.

Standing up, I saw the man eating slowly.

In those few days, the lunch break was very long, and I was not in a hurry to finish the meal.

While eating, the costumer told the man how to store the clothes worn by the actors, how to take care of them, iron them and so on.

The man listened and nodded, and then, occasionally distracted, he raised his head to look at Jiang Chenchuan.

Jiang Chenchuan looked directly at him, and found that for the first time, he felt like a child.There is no such thing as a heart, and I just plunged into it. Many times, I don't know why everyone likes him.

The dresser gave Ye Jingwei the dishes he didn't eat, and Ye Jingwei didn't refuse.No matter whether he likes to eat or not, whether he is full or not, he will gladly accept whatever food the other party offers him.He will not refuse the kindness of others.

Help is never shirked.

Next time, Jiang Jinchuan also had dinner with the costumer, and the costumer also called Ye Jingwei.

But this time, as soon as the lunch box was opened, the dresser was called over and asked to change the size of the clothes. The dresser complained, "It's time to rush work again."

Ye Jingwei immediately put down his chopsticks, "I'll go,"

The dressmaker told him, "You don't understand, only I can change it, you can eat here," and went to rush to change the clothes.

Ye Jingwei and Jiang Jinchuan had dinner together.

Today's dishes are the same as last time, fried pork with green peppers and eggplant with minced meat.

Jiang Chichuan only ate green peppers and vegetables, and did not move much, "How old are you?"

Ye Jingwei was a little flattered, and hurriedly told him her age.

After asking, Jiang Chenchuan also felt a little sudden.After Jiang Chenchuan heard about it, no wonder he felt that his special child was so young, Jiang Chenchuan didn't talk much after hearing it.

Ye Jingwei couldn't answer.He eats with a dull head, he eats slowly, Jiang Chenchuan feels a little appetite when he looks at him.

That person used to hold the chopsticks with his left hand and the spoon with his right when he ate.

Jiang Chenchuan couldn't help but also ate a few mouthfuls of rice. He didn't like to eat rice on the set before.

I don't like the food here, and I don't like acting in some plays. It's more like Godot who is waiting on the set and never waiting.

Jiang Chuanchuan gave him half of his food.After dialing, I found that the person was a little dazed.Only then did Jiang Chenchuan feel impulsive, and he said, "If you don't like it, you can throw it away,"

Then stand up and put down your box lunch.He has eaten.

What he didn't expect was that he would imitate the fashionista and give him vegetables.

Ye Jingwei saw that there were extra vegetables, a very clean part.

He was wondering when he would get him.
