The filming of "Mirror Shadow" was in full swing, and the overall progress was smooth, except that Xu Baomu left on the fifth day because he couldn't bear the frequent NG and the director's criticism.

Lin Yuyao called him once. He was participating in a performance, and the background sound was deafening. Xu Baomu's voice was covered intermittently: "I'm here... It's cool... Besides... I don't have a role..."

I couldn't hear what he said at all, and my ears were still ringing from the explosion.But the other party's tone remained consistent, and he was probably in a good mood.

Chen Xuemin was leisurely, and he didn't feel impatient after leaving the actor. He directly transferred Xu Baomu's scenes to the back, notified a few words on the set, and let it go.

"Young master has a temper, maybe he hasn't adapted to the filming process yet..." Lin Yuyao followed by and wanted to say a few words for Xu Baomu.

Of course, he also knew in his heart that these words were superfluous. Xu Baomu was the one who got in from the investor side. Even if it was a godsend, the crew would not really drive him away.

Chen Xuemin was kind, but at this moment he sneered in a rare way: "Let him go."

Lin Yuyao couldn't say more.

The seventh day of shooting was an exterior scene.In the midsummer of [-], Yin Shangxi met Zheng Hai at an event. A parody singer and a professional stand-in, they are both shadows living under the light, and they almost hit it off and became friends.

Yin Shangxi has a cheerful personality and is full of enthusiasm. He dragged Zheng Hai, who he just met, to go shopping in an audio-visual product store.

At two o'clock in the afternoon, the bus was as hot as a steamer, and few people were willing to stay in it. Yin Shangxi and Zheng Hai sat in the back row.

The wind blew in through the wide-open windows amidst the sweltering heat.Yin Shangxi lowered his head and complained: "When can I get rid of taking the bus, I should stay in the air-conditioned nanny car in this weather. Or even if I take the bus, it shouldn't be like this."

He looked left and right at the indifferent passengers: "No one knows me..."

Zheng Hai sat beside him quietly listening to his thoughts.

"Crack-"

With the sound of the recording, Lin Yuyao and Gu Xun ended the filming.

In the movie, it was hot and hot midsummer, but it was only early summer when filming. The wind and sunlight poured in through the windows and rushed on me, making people lazy and drowsy.

"Let's take another shot from a different angle later, and rest for 10 minutes first." Chen Xuemin gave an order.

Lin Yuyao and Gu Xun sat in place, and the makeup artist touched up their makeup.

Momo has become familiar with them during this time, and now he said carelessly: "Is brother Lin sleepy? It seems that you are not energetic."

"Well, a little bit, the sun is so comfortable." Lin Yuyao closed her eyes and let her play tricks.

"I have mints in my bag, let Simin go and get some later." momo said.

"Thank you." Lin Yuyao smiled.

Gu Xun sat next to him, and after finishing his makeup, he naturally went to grab Lin Yuyao's head, exerted force with his wrist, and pressed his head to his shoulder.

"I'll lend you my shoulder to take a nap." Gu Xun's tone rose, as if it was a natural daily routine of love.

Momo and her colleagues were packing up their cosmetics, and when they saw this, they joked, "Don't show off your affection everywhere, it hurts the hearts of us young women who hate to marry too much!"

Lin Yuyao accompanied him in the show, put his head on Gu Xun's shoulder, and said with a relaxed expression, "Let Brother Gu introduce you, he knows a lot of single high-quality men."

"Okay, what kind do you like? I have all types here." Gu Xun put his arm on Lin Yuyao and continued.

"He is handsome, has a good personality, is gentle and considerate, but he is not the kind of warm man with central air-conditioning..." Momo snapped her fingers and said, "The reference object is Brother Lin. ?”

"I've been doing it for a long time to poach me," Gu Xun scolded her with a smile, "I have to tell the production manager later that I need to change the makeup artist."

"Don't... I made a mistake, Brother Gu, I still live on this job!" Momo hurriedly begged for mercy.

After chatting for a while, we started shooting again.The scene on the bus was shot once and then moved to an old video store.

Yin Shangxi is like a swimming fish, familiarly shuttling through the narrow aisle, picking out the colorful CDs in front of him.

"Have you ever heard of this?" Yin Shangxi held up a CD with a weird cover to Zheng Hai, Zheng Hai shook his head, he had never heard any music and knew nothing about it.

At this time, the popular pop singer Qiu Yan's song suddenly sounded in the video store.Yin Shangxi's originally happy expression immediately dimmed, and he dragged Zheng Hai out of the store.

"It's so annoying, I can hear his songs everywhere." After walking a few steps, Qiu Yan's singing came from the hair salon on the street.

Zheng Hai's eyes were confused, as if he didn't understand why he was irritable.

"One day, I will become a more famous singer than him, Zheng Hai, one day, I will." Yin Shangxi said firmly.

Because his voice is similar to Qiu Yan, he was defined as a third-rate imitation singer when he debuted, and he has been living in Qiu Yan's shadow.

The camera zoomed in and gave Yin Shangxi a close-up of his eyes—resolute and full of resentment.

"Crack-"

"Lin Yuyao, come here." Chen Xuemin shouted.

Lin Yuyao stroked his arm. He was wearing short sleeves and felt a little cold at the moment.

"Although Gu Xun is the main character in this scene, you are not acting as a background board, can you understand? If you can't speak or have lines, it doesn't mean you don't need to act in anything." Chen Xuemin called him over and said The lack of that scene just now.

Lin Yuyao nodded: "I'm sorry Director Chen."

Chen Xuemin patted him on the shoulder: "This is a two-male lead drama. Gu Xun's character is more jumpy and catches people's attention. Zheng Hai is relatively flat, but you can't let the audience not notice you, you can't let Gu Xun Cover your whole body."

Lin Yuyao listened attentively to the lesson.

"This scene will be played again later, thanks to everyone." The director gave an order.

The sun was dazzling outside, so Chen Xuemin took the lead to go to the video store.

"Yu Yao, come in and walk around."

Lin Yuyao followed in, and Gu Xun was also inside.This store is a real store that the crew found, and they borrowed it for a day to film.

The store is small, hidden in the streets and alleys, old and nostalgic.

"When I was a child, there was a video store like this near my school. I often went to rent DVDs to watch after school." Lin Yuyao touched a film and said.

"What movies did you watch at that time?" Chen Xuemin asked with interest.

"Hmm... Tarkovsky's Stalker or something."

"Can you understand? How old were you at that time?" The assistant director next to him was curious.

"When I was in my teens, I borrowed them casually, and I fell asleep after watching them for a few minutes." Lin Yuyao himself thought it was funny when he thought about it, "Borrowing a CD at that time cost [-] cents a day, which was very expensive for children. After saving breakfast, I didn’t have enough money, so I went to steal the change my mother put under the pillow. So every time I borrowed this kind of film, I would be very angry and feel that I wasted money.”

"Haha, that was a huge loss. Did your mother catch you doing something bad?" a photographer asked.

"I found out...and I was beaten up." Lin Yuyao replied with averted eyes.

Gu Xun walked up to him, stretched out his hand and pressed his lower back: "Yes, the beating was terrible, and there is still a scar here."

A group of people huddled together in the small video store and laughed. The boys were tough, and it was very common for them to be beaten for doing one or two bad things when they were young.

Lin Yuyao laughed along with them, but slowly lowered her eyes, there was a scar that hadn't faded over the years where Gu Xun pressed her.When they were close, Gu Xun asked how they got here.

Lin Yuyao's explanation was like this: he stole his mother's money to rent dishes, was found out, and beat him up.

This is true, but not true.

In such a nostalgic video store, amidst the loud laughter of the crowd, his memory revived, and he suddenly recalled the burning pain when this piece of skin was burned by cigarette butts many years ago.
