alternate performance

It rained all night in the deep winter, and the patter would not stop, and it still didn't clear up in the middle of the morning.Xu Chenhe was hesitating whether to delay picking up the car, the sun came out in the afternoon, and the ground downstairs was half dry.

The weather was beautiful, so Xu Chenhe didn't change his plan. He put on a mask and peace glasses, grabbed his wallet and mobile phone and went out, pressing his head on his mobile phone to call an express car.

After two "beep" car horns that were clearly aimed at him, Xu Chenhe leaned against the side of the road without looking up.

That person seemed to come specifically to fight against him, chasing after him relentlessly, no matter how good-tempered Xu Chenhe was, he was annoyed by the quarrel, he turned his head angrily and said, "Isn't this road wide enough?"

Behind him was a sports car with smooth lines. Xu Chenhe felt that he couldn't afford to offend him. He stood firmly against the bushes behind him and made a "please" gesture to the other party.

Unexpectedly, the window of the driver's car was slowly lowered, Gu Congran took off his sunglasses and put his left hand on the window frame: "Get in the car."

Now that Xu Chenhe saw Gu Congran's face, his mouth numb subconsciously. He weighed left and right, Gu Congran should not kiss him when he was sane, and it was better to choose to take his car than to take an express train to be recognized.

Swallowing his breath, he walked around to the co-driver and pulled the door to get in the car. While fastening his seat belt, he said, "Mr. Gu bought a new car?"

"My family's car, I'll take it out as the first insurance." In the cold weather, Gu Congran rolled up the window of the car. In order to prevent Shen He from being uncomfortable, he turned on the stereo, playing the old Hong Kong songs that Wei Fangling usually listens to while driving.

The 4S shop is not close to Fujinyuan, Xu Chenhe could not relax when he heard the ethereal voice of the female singer along the way.

He twisted his fingers, and since he had nothing to do, he used his nails to scratch the trouser legs repeatedly, comparing which line was straighter.

"If you have something to say, you might as well just talk about it." While waiting for the red light, Gu Congran flicked his palm on Xu Chenhe's thigh, smoothing out the shallow scratches drawn on it.

Xu Chenhe was very sensitive to his movements, and when he retracted his legs, he almost stuck to the car door: "Mr. Gu, don't tease me."

Turning to the green light, Gu Congran concentrated on driving: "How can it be teasing?"

Xu Chenhe stared at Gu Congran's right hand, for fear that it would get off the steering wheel and touch his thigh again: "Kiss me, hug me, touch me, none of them are allowed."

"It's not in the contract that I can't do this to you." Gu Congran played a rogue.

Xu Chenhe had the illusion of meeting an unscrupulous boss: "Mr. Gu, if you continue to deceive me like this, I...I will announce my true identity to everyone."

Gu Congran curled his lips and smiled: "Then what if I didn't tease you?"

"What do you mean?" Xu Chenhe was startled.

There is a 4S store ahead, Gu Congran slowed down the speed and replied leisurely: "I really want to get close to you, can't I?"

After getting out of the car, two shop assistants greeted him, one was in charge of maintaining Gu Congran's car, and the other led Xu Chenhe to inspect the car.

The fastest car maintenance would take two hours. Gu Congran was bored, so he followed Xu Chenhe to look at the car.After a series of procedures, the clerk asked Xu Chenhe to try driving on a nearby road, and if there is no problem, he can drive away directly.

Xu Chenhe is a novice on the road, hoping that someone who can guide him will be seated in the co-pilot. He raised his eyelids and glanced at Gu Congran quietly, and found that the other party was also looking at him with a half-smile, as if he could see through his thoughts.

"If Mr. Xu is not familiar with certain functions of the car, we have a guide to test drive." The clerk said enthusiastically.

Just as Xu Chenhe was about to breathe a sigh of relief, Gu Congran opened the passenger door, turned to the clerk and said, "No, I'll guide him."

Sitting in the car without delay, seeing Xu Chenhe still standing outside, Gu Congran leaned over and teased him: "Did you not pay the full amount or did you not get the relevant documents?"

"It's all done." Xu Chenhe said.

"Then sit up and test drive." Gu Congran patted the driver's seat.

Sitting next to Gu Congran, who had a strong sense of presence, Xu Chenhe, who passed the driver's license test with full marks in four subjects, was so nervous that his palms were sweating.He is like a fledgling rookie. He has to poke his seat belt several times before he pokes it into the socket. When he finally starts the car, he only dares to drive at a speed of 40 kilometers per hour on a sparsely populated road.

"Try stepping on the accelerator a little bit more." Gu Congran said.

Xu Chenhe was afraid of stepping on it and ran fast, pretending that he didn't hear him.

Gu Congran leaned on the armrest box with his elbow: "If you don't step on the gas pedal, I'll kiss you."

Xu Chenhe's heart skipped a beat, he stepped on his right foot, and the car accelerated and rushed out.

After two laps, Xu Chenhe was sweating in the cold weather and was frightened by Gu Congran.After the car pulled over and stopped, Gu Congran unbuckled his seat belt: "It's driving well, it's okay to drive back by yourself, right?"

Xu Chenhe paused when he touched the lock.

Gu Congran noticed: "You don't need to accompany me in, my car hasn't been serviced yet, so I guess I'll have to wait for an hour, so go home first."

"...OK." Xu Chenhe started the fire again.

Gu Congran pushed open the door and stepped out with one leg. Suddenly, he thought of something, retracted his leg, and closed the car door forcefully: "That's right."

"Did you forget anything in the car?" Xu Chenhe turned to look at the back of the car.

Taking advantage of the two getting close, Gu Congran took out a chain from his pocket, hooked Xu Chenhe's collar with his other hand: "Don't move."

The fine sterling silver chain was originally cold to the touch, but Gu Congran held it all the way, and when it hung around Xu Chenhe's neck, he even felt a little warmth.Gu Congran dexterously locked the clasp on the back of Xu Chenhe's neck with both hands, and deliberately touched the exposed skin of Xu Chenhe's neck when he pulled his hands away: "Wear it well, don't throw it away this time."

After Gu Congran got out of the car, Xu Chenhe sat on the seat and pinched the pendant of the necklace to look at it for a long time. It was the ring he threw back to the other party yesterday. He didn't have time to look at it. It turned out that there was a string of English engraved on it: Weareindispensable.

We cannot do without one.

Xu Chenhe looked at it in a bad mood, picked up the necklace and stuffed it into his clothes, simply out of sight.

One week before New Year's Eve, Zhu Huiting called Xu Chenhe, reminding him that there were still two days before joining the group, and he should pack up within tomorrow, and fly to the film and television city early in the morning the day after tomorrow.

In fact, Xu Chenhe had already prepared two boxes of luggage, one box of clothes, one box of skin care products and miscellaneous things, but he was still worried, wandering around the room to check whether he had brought all the things.

Before leaving, he cleaned the house, closed the doors and windows, stuffed the script into the bag he was carrying, and took the elevator downstairs with two suitcases of luggage wrapped tightly.

Zhu Huiting's car was waiting for him downstairs, and after helping him stuff the suitcase into the trunk, Zhu Huiting drove him out of Fujinyuan.

"Fortunately," Zhu Huiting said, "the leading actor of this show has nothing to do with Jiang Hua, so you don't have to worry about being identified."

"Didn't Liang Sui, who plays the police officer in the play, graduated from the same class as Jiang Hua?" Xu Chenhe checked all the protagonists and supporting roles in "Tracking Thousands of Faces" after a few days of retreat at home and memorized the script, and found that Liang Sui and Jiang Hua Hua used to be in the same class, but the two had no apparent cooperation, nor did they have mutual relations on Weibo.

Zhu Huiting said "Oh": "They are not familiar with each other, and they are only in the category of ordinary classmates. Jiang Hua had regular friends when he was studying, but Liang Sui was not included."

Xu Chenhe nodded, and he had a bottom line in his heart.

When I met Fang Rui at the airport, Zhu Huiting's first sentence asked: "Is everything arranged for food, clothing and daily life? Have you communicated with the production staff?"

Fang Rui patted his chest: "Don't worry, Brother Zhu, everything has been arranged."

"Remember, don't call 'Brother Shen He' in the crew, if you can't say 'Brother Jiang', just call brother, OK?"

"I obeyed!"

While waiting to board the plane, Fang Rui bought coffee for everyone. Xu Chenhe wasn't sleepy at all, but after drinking the coffee, he was so energetic that he could recite the script backwards.

There was no message on the phone, and Gu Congran hadn't contacted him since we parted ways at the 4S store last time.Xu Chenhe, who should go to filming with peace of mind, remembered the other party's goodwill in this idle space, and repeatedly opened and exited WeChat several times. Xu Chenhe finally couldn't pass his own level. He clicked on the chat interface and sent a message to the other party: Mr. Gu, I It's time to board.

The boarding announcement clearly announced the flight information, and Zhu Huiting shoved him: "Let's go."

Xu Chenhe hurriedly followed, holding his ID boarding pass in his left hand, and his mobile phone in his right hand, afraid of missing Gu Congran's reply.

When crossing the boarding bridge, the phone finally started to move, and five short words popped up, Xu Chenhe's eyes darkened.

Gu Congran: See you in three months.

It usually takes three months for a drama to start and finish. Xu Chenhe thought about it, it should be summer by then.

Finding a seat and sitting down, Zhu Huiting turned sideways to fasten the seat belt for the absent-minded Xu Chenhe. By the way, he glanced at the note on the top of the chat interface, and understood: "Hurry up if you want to post something, and you have to turn on the airplane mode later."

Xu Chenhe didn't expect that the manager would be so gossip, he seemed to be spying on the secret, his ears were hot: "Why are you peeking at my phone?"

"As long as you are on guard, I won't let me see it." Zhu Huiting smiled, but he was actually teaching him the rules of the entertainment industry.

Xu Chenhe lowered the brightness of the phone, and edited in the input box: If you don't visit the class, you will be rumored to be at odds, right?

It took a while for the hot face to dissipate. Before turning off the phone, Xu Chenhe couldn't wait for Gu Congran's reply. He guessed that the other party was busy with work, so he didn't care.Plugging in the earphones and letting the drowsiness of being late hit, Xu Chenhe closed his eyes and took a nap, two and a half minutes of sleep time was just right for him.

After getting off the plane, Xu Chenhe didn't bother to look at his mobile phone. The crew sent a car to pick him up. The handsome bright black Volvo was very popular.After leaving the airport, Xu Chenhe leaned on the car window to watch the street scene, whether he remembered the route clearly or not, felt that the novelty was real.

After bumping for more than an hour, the speed of the car slowed down, and the film and television city arrived.There are buildings with a sense of age everywhere here, and every tree and street lamp on the roadside seem to tell moving stories. Xu Chenhe rarely goes out since he was a child. I feel that those blurred or clear pictures are three-dimensional in front of my eyes.

During the Spring Festival, there are very few people in the film and television city, which is a famous tourist attraction in China. In addition, it is in the severe winter, which makes the street as far as the eye can see is desolate and quiet.

The driver seemed to be very familiar with the road here. He turned left and right and stopped in front of an old-fashioned building.Compared with the neighborhood where I just came in, this place is much more noisy and deliberative. Artists and cameramen discussing scene design, assistant directors supervising work, and busy drama management under the guidance of the production director...

As soon as he got off the car, a person stood up beside the wooden seat under the outer wall of the building. Xu Chenhe recognized him as director Kong Shun who had dinner with him at Ziyafang that day.

Kong Shun was looking at the lighting plan that the lighting engineer had just shown him. When he saw the male lead hand-picked by the biggest investor coming, he hurriedly folded up the lighting plan and put it on the chair, and strode to greet him with a cigarette butt out of his fingers.

"Hello, Director Kong." Xu Chenhe smiled warmly and kindly, and then he was patted on the arm by Director Kong: "Xiao Jiang, haven't you been here for a long time?"

Jiang Hua's "Autumn Waters Grow Together" was filmed here, and Xu Chenhe remembers it very well: "Well, it's been more than four years."

Zhu Huiting interjected at the right time: "Director Kong, is there any drama staff here who can get away? Jiang Hua hasn't come for a long time, so I'm afraid I still have to bring someone to familiarize myself with the filming location."

Kong Shun slapped his head, turned around and waved to the girl squatting in front of the door holding a notepad to write and draw: "Xiaohui, come here!"

The crew of "Tracking Thousands of Faces" recruited crew members with experience in working with the crew, and they did things very neatly.Despite Xiaohui's short stature, she doesn't stutter when speaking, and she knows how to arrange things in a simple and complicated way. First, she asked whether the artist's basic necessities of life were adjusted according to the crew, and then led Xu Chenhe and the others to introduce the crew environment as they walked.

The aging old building in front of us is the main place for the crew to rest or start work and store equipment. Stepping into the brass-colored iron gate, the first floor is a lobby full of old bicycles and cardboard boxes.Climbing up the stairs, there are flickering light bulbs hanging above the dark corridor, which is better than nothing.

The white-painted staircase wall was covered with red and blue psoriasis. Xu Chenhe looked all the way and stopped on the third floor without knowing it.

"Room 306 is one of the main shooting locations," Xiaohui said, "Teacher Jiang should be very clear."

Xu Chenhe raised his head, thinking that he had returned to the place where he lived in Rongjing Town.

He also lives in 306 in the teacher's dormitory of Shengyang Primary School.

But soon he realized that this 306 is not that 306. The 306 in the script is the residence of the thief Fu Qian and his sister Fu Jiu who depend on each other. It is very close to the Public Security Bureau. The criminal investigation team followed them closely, and they also secretly observed the criminal investigation The whereabouts of the team.

Coming down from the old building, along the road are places that have appeared in the script, such as dance halls, banks, vegetable markets, etc., are all busy with people.

After crossing the street and turning left again, there is another main shooting location - the North District Public Security Bureau.Perhaps it was because of his role, Xu Chenhe felt very excited when he walked in. He looked around, and when he looked up, he saw eight big characters on the bulletin board on the wall: Police for the public, and loyalty for the people.

Small steps came from behind, blocking Xiaohui's introduction, and a male voice pierced Xu Chenhe's cochlea: "Jiang Hua!"
