alternate performance

Xu Chenhe, who was trapped between Gu Congran and the mattress, was gradually suffocated by the endless kisses. He squinted his eyes, let go of Gu Congran's lapel and pushed the other's pressed chest weakly: " Sleepy."

Gu Congran was finally willing to let go of Xu Chenhe, and the person under him turned his face away, gasping for breath, but his eyes were closed, his brows were stretched, and he looked defenseless.

With a click, Gu Congran turned on the bedside lamp, turned it on to the lowest setting, the orange-yellow light was dim, but it was enough for him to see Xu Chenhe's face clearly.

This time, Gu Congran was completely awakened from the frenzy, and there was still the temperature on his lips when the two of them were touching each other, but he didn't want to recall it at all.No matter how similar Xu Chenhe and Jiang Hua are, he wouldn't be able to tell the difference between them, unless his own mind was bewildered and he couldn't restrain himself, and he had already had the idea of ​​venting his impulse to miss Jiang Hua on Xu Chenhe.

Tucking Xu Chenhe's hand into the quilt, Gu Congran closed the door and went out, sat on the sofa in the living room and called Zhu Huiting.

It took a long time to pick up over there, and Zhu Huiting's voice was exhausted: "What are you doing?"

Before Gu Congran could ask, the other party's curiosity was aroused first: "Are you asleep?"

"Not yet, I'm training people, I was so angry with the little bastard." Zhu Huiting urged him, "Let's get down to business, I haven't finished training people here yet."

Gu Congran was worried, and was too lazy to ask about Zhu Huiting's private life for the time being: "What perfume advertisement did you accept for Xu Chenhe?"

"You're only here to care about it now. Did you smell that smell and was stimulated?" Zhu Huiting smiled, "Lullaby's endorsement is Jiang Hua's favorite perfume brand before. Doesn't it mean that every perfume is Is it a story, the new model endorsed by Xu Chenhe is the continuation of the story of Jiang Hua's."

"Deception" is the hottest and most classic style in lullaby, and the launch of "Black Flame" is to give back to perfume lovers' love for "Deception".

The scents of the two are similar, but the ingredients are slightly different. "Deceit" is the base note of agarwood, and "Black Flame" is the aftertaste of whiskey.

"You did it on purpose?" Gu Congran asked.

Zhu Huiting hurriedly disregarded the relationship: "It's really not, if you believe me, it's just a coincidence."

Coincidentally, Gu Congran couldn't pass the test, but it was a certainty that he crossed the line with Xu Chenhe.

He leaned on the sofa with a headache. There was some remorse, but more of it was the loss of not knowing how to deal with the relationship between the two.

Gu Congran sat on the sofa all night, listening to the sound of rain fading outside the window, fell asleep at some point, and when he woke up again, the sky had been polished and covered with dark clouds, silently heralding the next day bad weather.

A thick blanket was covering his body, and there was a clanging sound from the kitchen. After a while, Xu Chenhe came out of the kitchen refreshed, with an apron around his waist, and a plate of smoking diced meat in his hand Soba noodles, placed lightly on the table.

"Mr. Gu, you're awake." Xu Chenhe took off his apron and hung it on a hook on the wall, "Thank you for sending me back last night, did I cause any trouble?"

The slightly hoarse voice and the opening and closing of the lips reminded Gu Congran of the lingering kiss last night.He lifted the blanket, folded it, and didn't look at Xu Chenhe's face again: "No, very good."

Usually Xu Chenhe praised the students for being good, but now it was his turn to be praised, he felt embarrassed instead, strode up to take the blanket in Gu Congran's arms, and said: "The bathroom is equipped with new toiletries. Come out to breakfast, yours kept warm in the pot."

Gu Congran nodded, and made a quick decision in the bathroom. When he came out, Xu Shenhe promptly handed over the coat he took off when he entered the door last night: "Mr. Gu, the clothes have been dried, and the wallet key in the pocket is on the coffee table. , You see if there is anything missing."

With a relaxed tone and normal expression, Gu Congran couldn't help but suspect that what happened last night was just a dream.He took the coat and put it on, straightened the cuffs and asked, "Do you have an elder brother?"

"No," Xu Chenhe turned to the kitchen to serve Gu Congran breakfast, "I am the only child."

"Yesterday you were drunk and kept calling your brother." Gu Congran exposed him.

Thanks to Gu Congran's reminder, Xu Chenhe remembered the dream he had last night: "It's a joke, I dreamed that Mr. Jiang became my brother... Although I have never met, I always feel that I have known each other for a long time."

Steaming soba noodles are placed in front of you, topped with a soft-yellow fried egg.Gu Congran mixed the noodles and diced meat with a fork, and the guilt towards Jiang Hua in his heart multiplied dramatically, so he had to change the subject abruptly: "The perfume you use smells good, please continue to use it in the future."

The boss has recognized the smell, Xu Chenhe has no reason to say that the perfume smells strange, so he can only force himself to get used to it: "Okay."

The brand recommends that the artist really use the product on himself before the endorsement, so as to achieve the running-in between the artist and the endorsed product.

The running-in period is only three to five days. After the costume style is finalized, Xu Chenhe packed his luggage and rushed to the commercial shooting location. Before leaving Chengcheng City, he wanted to talk to Gu Congran, but the president's office on the 28th floor of the building was empty. one person.

The end of the new year is approaching, Gu Congran stayed up late for many days, and decided to finish the accumulated meetings this week. The conference room on the 26th floor was bright and bright, and the department heads of the planning department and the organization department sat around and listened to Gu Congran announce the tasks of this year's annual meeting.

After expressing their opinions, the meeting lasted for two hours. After the meeting, Gu Congran took out his mobile phone to look at it, put aside irrelevant unread, and replied to the important news. In the end, only Xu Chenhe's WeChat message was left unopened.

After that day, he never took the initiative to look for Xu Chenhe again. Although they were in the same building, they were on different floors, so they couldn't meet each other.

Dragging the swivel chair to the floor-to-ceiling window and sitting down, Gu Congran clicked on the dialog box under the clear sky after many days of darkness.

Xu Chenhe: Mr. Gu, I just got off the plane, and the sun is so bright here, hotter than downtown, I knew I would have come here without a down jacket.

According to Zhu Huiting, the commercial shooting location is in a southern city, where the lowest winter temperature is basically around 10°C to 15°C, and snow has only rarely drifted twice in the past ten years.

Gu Congran couldn't see Xu Chenhe's face, so he spoke in a relaxed tone: What work do you have today?

The other party replied quickly: I will take a flat photo in the afternoon and a commercial video tomorrow. I am worried that I lack the sense of camera.

Gu Congran: Then act as if you are recording a class and show your best side in front of the camera.

Xu Chenhe: Does Mr. Gu have any method to calm down the tension?

The small plate on the meeting round table contained individually packaged mints. Gu Congran peeled off one and bit it between his teeth. He remembered that Jiang Hua had licked a lollipop before going on stage for the first time when he participated in the Spring Festival Gala.

He edited: Ask Assistant Fang to help you buy a stick of candy, and remember to refill your lipstick after eating.

Xu Chenhe is endless: Eating sugar relieves tension, what is the principle?

Gu Congran has no patience: Jiang Hua said that eating sweets makes people happy.

There was no response from the other side for a long time, and in the afternoon, Xu Chenhe thanked him politely: Thank you, Mr. Gu, for your suggestion.

Looking at the plain seven characters without any emotion, Gu Congran, who wanted to be perfunctory, suddenly had the illusion that he was being perfunctory.

Until the evening, Gu Congran's mobile phone did not pop up any new messages from Xu Chenhe. With the idea of ​​supervising the other party's work, he called Zhu Huiting: "Are you off work?"

"Are you asking me, or him?" Zhu Huiting asked.

Gu Congran answered ambiguously: "You guys."

Zhu Huiting stood next to the photographer and looked at the negatives: "Just finished filming the last series, and he can get off work after taking off his makeup."

"How was the shooting?" Gu Congran got into the car and fastened the seat belt with one hand.

Zhu Huiting said: "We'll know when the finished film comes out."

After Xu Chenhe came out after taking off his makeup, Zhu Huiting gestured to him, and whispered to the other end of the phone, "Hang up first, let's talk back."

After several hours of non-stop sculpting and taking photos, Xu Chenhe's face was full of fatigue, more tired than standing for four consecutive classes.

He took the grapefruit tea handed by Fang Rui, took a sip to moisten his throat, walked up to Zhu Huiting and asked, "Is it okay to be on camera?"

"Be confident, change 'is it alright' to 'very nice'." Zhu Huiting spent the afternoon in the studio, feeling hungry and panicked, "Let's go, let's eat."

Fang Rui packed up the accompanying canvas bag, and shook the candy bag in Xu Chenhe's hand: "Brother, do you still eat candy?"

Xu Chenhe listened to Gu Congran's suggestion in the morning and asked Fang Rui to go to the supermarket outside to buy it. They didn't pack it in bulk, but only bought a big bag, and picked out a lychee-flavored one to eat.

Facts have proved that sweets have little effect on relieving his tension, Xu Chenhe pushed the candy towards Fang Rui: "Don't you love candy, I'll leave it to you."

Considering that there is still work tomorrow, everyone went back to the hotel after dinner. Xu Chenhe took a bath in hot water, and while he was still sleepy, he leaned on the bedside and went through the memorized script again.

The business suite arranged by the brand was elegant and clean, but Xu Chenhe accepted the bed, tossing and turning on the large double bed, turning over in distress, touching the mobile phone next to the pillow, and lying on his stomach under the quilt to light up the screen.

Jiang Hua's Weibo account is rarely accessed by him, and occasionally he will be shocked by the number of retweets and likes when he goes online.This time was no exception, and this time was no exception. He casually clicked on a few private messages, the contents of which were similar, either full of words of praise, or spring breeze of concern.

In his spare time, Xu Shenhe has watched Jiang Hua's film and television works and variety shows. That man is indeed good enough to be loved by thousands of people.

Exiting from the message interface, Xu Chenhe switched to the search box and entered the names of Gu Congran and Jiang Hua side by side. After seeing it, he saw it in the middle of the night, with pictures from various activities, photos from the airport, and the fans' summaries under the topic "Gu Jiangshan" With all the details, he seemed to have read the story of Gu Jiang and the two of them.

When heading to the shooting location the next day, Zhu Huiting couldn't help but look at Xu Chenhe's face: "What time did you sleep last night?"

"One more point," Xu Chenhe rubbed his eyes, "Don't worry, Brother Zhu, it won't affect the shooting."

"For you, dynamic shooting may be much more difficult than static shooting. You have to focus on controlling expressions and movements. If you are fast, you can complete the work within nine hours as stipulated in the contract." Zhu Huiting flipped through the production A message from the company, "Also, the finished film shot before [-]:[-] this afternoon will be released. I will copy a copy and send it to you. You can choose a few and send them to Mr. Gu for review."

Xu Chenhe has no doubts about him: "Okay."

The commercial script tells a story about "attraction" - a down-and-out street singer accidentally got an invitation to a dance party in a piano box that was rewarded by passers-by. On that night, he disguised himself as an elegant gentleman and sprayed the Perfume, you can get the coveted attention at the ball, and you can also lead the girl you like to dance a dance.

A 60-second advertising video may be easy for Jiang Hua, but it is difficult for Xu Chenhe.

After yelling "cut" again and again, the director sighed. Although the disappointment in his eyes increased, he still treated the actor-level entertainer politely: "Mr. Jiang, the difference between the advertisement and the movie is that the former does not have too many lines. , so it is very important to use body and eyes to convey the story, understand?"

The word "Mr. Jiang" woke up Xu Chenhe like a blow to the head. He hugged the guitar tightly and suddenly remembered what Jiang Hua said in an interview.The reason why Jiang Hua can become an outstanding film and television artist is because whenever he puts himself into a role, he will forget the name "Jiang Hua" and become a person who is completely different from himself in the script.Jiang Hua gives the characters flesh and soul, as he said - "I can temporarily abandon myself and become countless 'I'."

Xu Chenhe has never abandoned his identity as "Xu Chenhe" subconsciously. In and out of the play, he did not regard himself as Jiang Hua, and he forgot to integrate "I" with the story described in the script.

"I'm sorry, come again." He gave the director and the staff around him an apologetic smile, and quickly adjusted his state.

At [-] o'clock in the evening, Xu Chenhe finished shooting the last scene. The director yelled "let's work" in satisfaction. He straightened his tired body and thanked everyone in the film crew: "Thank you for your hard work."

After being tired all day, Xu Chenhe should have a big appetite, but Xu Chenhe has no appetite.Fang Rui thoughtfully packed a steak with sauce for him, in case he was hungry after returning to the hotel.

Zhu Huiting and Xu Chenhe had different rooms on the same floor. Before entering the room, Zhu Huiting called to stop Xu Chenhe: "I sent the photo to your email, remember to take a look when you go back."

"Okay." Xu Chenhe nodded.

"Also," Zhu Huiting said, "for the ten o'clock flight tomorrow morning, we will meet in the lobby at eight o'clock. You set the alarm clock and get up."

"I know," Xu Chenhe promised, "I won't be late."

It seems that there is nothing to say, Xu Chenhe pointed to his door: "Then I'm going back, I'm a little tired."

"Wait a minute," Zhu Huiting felt obliged to comfort his artist, "Shen He, you did a good job today, at least you have entered the state, not everyone is improving as fast as you."

Xu Chenhe just smiled: "Yes."

Soaked in the warm water, Xu Chenhe's whole body relaxed, and he leaned against the wall of the bathtub, not wanting to move.He shook off the water in his hand, touched the mobile phone on the shelf, boarded the mailbox and opened the document package sent by Zhu Huiting.

Two series of photos, one is a street singer's dress, GCDS printed hooded sweater and casual straight pants, paired with a pair of Zanlotti black high-top sneakers, a brown guitar behind her back, and an unopened perfume in her hand. Ordinary before metamorphosis.Another series is a Zegna slim suit, which is elegant and rigorous, and the "black flame" with the lid opened is held between the fingers, which is a glimpse at the ball.

Xu Chenhe never dreamed that he would be so good-looking under the camera. He chose left and right, checked seven or eight pictures, and was worried that Gu Congran would get bored, so he unchecked several, and sent one piece to each other in each of the two series. Add another sentence: Good evening, Mr. Gu, this is why Brother Zhu asked me to send it to you.

After posting, I put down my phone and went to apply body wash. I don't know that the heart of the person who received the picture trembled slightly after seeing it.

Gu Congran downloaded the original picture, zoomed in and out and carefully observed it for a long time. After saving it, he asked the other party: If the manager hadn't reminded you, wouldn't you have taken the initiative to send it to me?

After Xu Chenhe took a shower and applied his skin care products, he crawled into bed with a scent all over his body, and only then remembered to pick up his phone to read the news.Gu Congran's question made him puzzled, pondered between the lines, and felt that the other party should blame him for not having independent thoughts.

He tentatively replied: Actually, I also wanted to send it to you for my own sake.
