I chase after the actor by lifting iron

Over the next month or so, Chongshi experienced unexpected high-frequency rainfall, and it was impossible to shoot many exterior scenes.

The director and coordinator really had no choice but to disrupt the shooting sequence and shoot the interior scenes first.

When the weather completely improved, it was already July, and the remaining exterior scenes had to be shot.Mingchen can only come back and forth under the sun every day to expose himself to the sun.

He is naturally fair-skinned and can't get tanned, but he gets sunburned.Lin Tiaotiao helps him spit out sunscreen from head to toe every morning, but the skin still turns red and peels, and it still hurts when he takes a bath.

Sister Xishi has been here several times, and she can't stand it, my baby is suffering.But there is no good way to replace it with anyone else. Si Yan'an can only stay on the set as much as possible to make the shooting smoother and not delay too long.

Overall, the filming went smoothly. In late August, "Stardust Singer" wrapped up, seven days earlier than expected.

The moment the director made the announcement, everyone on the set scattered flowers, yelling "liberation, liberation, liberation."It was desperate to do anything outdoors in this scorching heat, and they almost spent a whole summer like this.

In the evening, the crew found an open space and set up a barbecue grill, and celebrated temporarily.

Mingchen worked the hardest, everyone came over with beer cans to toast the friendship.Lin Tiaotiao took the initiative to jump out to block the wine for him, and then poured down five cans, breaking down and crying while hugging Ming Chen.

"Brother, I'm black... I've never been so black in my life... What should I do if Bai doesn't come back..."

Ming Chen laughed wildly at the recording.

Then he drank too much himself, dizzy, and inexplicably excited.While no one was paying attention, he hugged Si Yanan's arm: "Brother, I'm black too... Do you think my tattoo can't be seen clearly..."

Si Yan'an lifted the back of his clothes, the small black tail on his dazzlingly white waist.

"I can see clearly." Si Yanan slapped him on the tail.

"Really? Look again..."

This is selling.

Si Yan'an laughed, and forced him into his arms.After a while, the little wild cat fell asleep and became limp, and was gently placed on Si Yan'an's lap.

The next day, tomorrow was woken up by Lin Tiaotiao's knock on the door, and he opened the door with messy hair.

Lin Tiaotiao cried with a mournful face: "Brother, why can't you pay it back? You're going to be late!"

Ming Chen was startled: "Isn't it finished?"

Lin Tiaotiao yelled: "Didn't someone else kill you! Going to the recording studio bro! Didn't I tell you yesterday!!"

"...Like this." Mosquito coils appeared in Ming Chen's eyes: "Okay, okay, I'll clean it up now..."

As he spoke, he bumped his head against the mirror cabinet.

In the end, it was Si Yan'an who solved the problem. He called the guest, Xiao Ran, and explained that he would be late.The guest Xiao Ran said in a good temper that there was no problem, and he got up late too, so he told them to be careful and take their time on the road.

"Finally the air conditioner can be turned on." Ming Chen sighed while having breakfast, feeling that this movie made people's requirements for the quality of life infinitely lowered.

He now feels like a god as long as he is indoors.

"I have a coat, let Tiao Tiao take it." Si Yan'an said, "If it's cold, put it on."

Ming Chen was moved again.Wear it when it's cold! ! !Wear it when it's cold! !Cold is... what a touching modern civilization, he has a chance to feel cold!

Thinking of him coming back to his senses: "Aren't you going?"

Si Yan'an may not be by his side every day, but most of the time he is really close to him like an assistant.Ming Chen asked.

"Well, I have something to do today." Si Yan'an said.

"Ah, okay." Ming Chen didn't hear that he was busy for a long time, so he was quite unaccustomed to being stunned.

The guest, Xiao Ran, is the music director of "Stardust", and he is so conscientious that he almost followed the crew throughout the whole process.Unless he has a job, he must silently appear in a corner of the crew.

Once Ming Chen went to the toilet when he was so tired that he was half dead. It was already dark, and when he walked to the door, he suddenly faced a pair of reflective glasses, which scared him so much that he almost jumped onto the top of the toilet.

Afterwards, I asked him why he stood at the door of the toilet. Although there was a cucumber shelf there, the environment was okay, but...

Customer Xiao Ran said: "Look for the feeling."

He is willing to find feelings at the toilet door, which shows that he attaches great importance to the work of "Stardust".

Sure enough, as soon as he entered Xiao Ran's studio, he saw a table full of manuscripts, some of which were floating on the ground.A cursory glance reveals a familiar melody.

They should all be various arrangements of Wen Lai's songs.

"Mr. Ke." Ming Chen bowed first when he entered the door, already feeling very embarrassed.The customer, Xiao Ran, was already sitting behind the desk, taking a pen to write something on the paper, not at all like "getting up late" on the phone.

Could it be to comfort him on purpose?After all, the teacher has always been very good-tempered.

Regardless of whether he was angry or not, it was unreasonable for him to be late, Ming Chen secretly reviewed it for a while.

"Sit." The customer Xiao Ran pointed to a seat with a smile: "Don't be too nervous, we will get along for half a month."

"En." Ming Chen replied.

Even so, Ming Chen was unavoidably a little nervous.

When I took the sheet music for an audition, I felt that my voice was not in good condition and was very tight.

On the market, there are quite a few documentary films featuring original musicians, and most of them use the singer's own sound source.But Wen Lai's situation is a bit special. He was not able to reach the level of popularity all over the country back then. Due to technical problems, the recording quality and arrangement were far from what they are now.

Doing something retro with fresh technology can be very comfortable to listen to.But eating real antiques is definitely not suitable for modern people.

Coupled with the strong artistic processing of this movie, after various considerations, Ming Chen will re-sing all the songs in order to give the audience the best movie-watching experience.

Mingchen has heard all of Lai's songs since the beginning of the year, and he is so familiar that he can sing with his eyes closed, but he feels that if he can't find this kind of thing for a while, no matter how he sings it, it won't be right.

"Stop for a while." Ke Xiaoran said, and went straight out.

Ming Chen sat on the spot anxiously, always feeling that he was about to be scolded, and after a while, Xiao Ran came back with a water glass in his hand.

"I asked them to increase the temperature of the air conditioner." Ke Xiaoran put down the cup with a smile: "Warm water, drink some, your throat is tight, it's very likely that it's cold. Don't worry."

Ming Chen was speechless and wanted to call his mother.

He took a sip of water, and guest Xiao Ran played the semi-finished soundtrack demo for him.

After chatting casually for a few more words, he smiled and said, "You are really good at singing. It's not about skills, you make me feel that singing is a very comfortable and happy thing."

To be praised by such an awesome producer is worth writing in his resume and engraved on the tombstone. Ming Chen blushed and kept saying no, thank you, thank you.

"That time I heard you sing Xinghuayu in the crew, I really liked your handling of the first sentence. Between the words 'slanting wind and light rain', you made a small pause. It was just right and leisurely, which made me feel amazing .I found that no matter what your voice condition is, you are a very good singer.”

"...I just sang casually." Ming Chen said in a daze, "Actually, I haven't studied professionally. Ah, no, when I was a trainee, the company hired a vocal teacher."

"Hmm..." Guest Xiao Ran thought for a while: "It feels like it's something more instinctive. When did you like to sing? When you went to KTV with your classmates, you found that you could sing very well, and the little girls in the same class all watched you?"

Guest Xiao Ran made a joke, and laughed himself first: "Don't tell me, I know many talented singers, and they all started like this."

Maybe it's because the temperature of the air conditioner is deliberately turned up just right, or the cup in his hand is warm and comfortable, or Ke Xiaoran is really a too gentle elder.Ming Chen really relaxed slowly in this environment, bent his eyes and smiled: "I'm really not."

His eyes turned to one side, and his speech slowed down: "I... at first it was to practice speaking."

"Huh?" Ke Xiaoran was a little surprised.

Ming Chen never told anyone about this, never.

Teammates, managers, and even male gods, no one knows.

But when Mr. Ke Xiaoran looked at him sincerely and looked forward to his story, he seemed to have no obstacles and told them.

Bumpy, stumbling journey.

A sweet mouth cannot be learned in a day.It was very difficult for him to speak at first.

And because of what Si Yanan said to him, he began to open his mouth hard, trying to use various names to gain sympathy, love, and help.

In the beginning, I was very blunt, and I only called my brothers and sisters, uncles and aunts, jumping up and down with two words, which made it difficult for others to listen.Later, you can cope with ordinary daily communication.

"The person who abandoned me at the time was actually my second adoptive parent, but it seems that they didn't go through the formalities... I don't remember much. After the kind people rescued me, the police sent me to the local orphanage. After a while, she was adopted by a couple."

Ming Chen thought for a while: "At that time, I could only shout at people, and I was not very talkative. But it may be because I am healthy, and I am still very popular, so I didn't stay there for a few days."

Guest Xiao Ran listened intently.

It's a pity that Xiao Mingchen was unlucky, and he still didn't meet a good person this time.

That couple, just looking at the conditions are very good.The husband is an elementary school teacher, and the wife does housework at home.

The two were older, both in their 40s at the time, and had never had children.The family is well-off, with a small savings, and is the perfect adopter.

Not long after Xiao Mingchen passed by, the adoptive father was transferred, and the whole family went to Chongshi with him.Ming Chen was very uneasy in the strange city at first.

He doesn't talk all day long, and he doesn't care about people.But the adoptive father didn't like this very much. If he didn't do what he was asked to do, he would say that he was "disobedient".

"Actually, I don't remember very clearly. At that time, I didn't understand the seriousness of the matter. Sometimes, adults, it is necessary for children to obey, especially for adopted children like me. But I I have no idea, I am wild, I don’t understand this, I only know that he is suddenly very angry. Then I was very scared and ran outside.”

Ming Chen said, feeling a little funny: "It was raining one day, I don't know why he got very angry, it was too scary. I wanted to run, but it was raining outside, so I hesitated. That's it Before he ran away, he lost his mind a little bit, picked up a stool and threw it on my head."

He paused, with a smile on his face: "Then I ran out."

The thunder was rumbling, and he usually wouldn't go out in such weather.

But it hurt too much, and he was too scared. He thought about leaving that terrible place no matter what, and just kept running in the rain along the dilapidated streets.

Blood trickled down his forehead, and was quickly washed away by the rain. He ran until he couldn't breathe, so he stopped slowly.

What should I do next?

Where to hide from the rain?Or... for help?

As long as I talk, someone will save me, right?To speak out, yes?

Big Brother said so, didn't he?

It was raining heavily, and Xiao Mingchen barely opened his eyes by covering his forehead with his hands.

He looked around and saw that he was on a street that was very similar to the street in front of his adoptive father's house. The houses were dilapidated and there were a few shops here and there, all with rolling doors.

Only one store was half open, with the curtains half drawn, as if to keep out the rain.There is a warm yellow light permeating inside, and the aroma of food can be vaguely smelled.

He pursed his lips tightly and hammered the rolling shutter door vigorously. Soon someone raised the curtain and asked him in surprise what he wanted to do.

"Sister, sister." Xiao Mingchen said very forcefully, and smiled forcefully: "It's raining, it's heavy, I'm very hungry, sister, sister."

Afterwards everything went much smoother.

Sister Xin and Brother Chen were very kind to him. After raising him for a few days, they decided to keep him after knowing the situation of their adoptive parents' house.

On the way, the adoptive father came to look for him once, and he didn't seem to want him too much, he just came here because he was worried that his safety would affect him.Knowing that he was fine, he left without even arguing with Sister Xin.

He was very happy then.

I feel that all of this is due to his brave knock on the door and hard work in expression.

He also wants to become better at speaking and speak more fluently. In this way, there must be more people who treat him well.

The guest Xiao Ran didn't speak for a long time.

"Then you start singing?" he asked with a sigh.

"Yes, when speaking, you have to think about what to say before you can say it? The song is not, it is there, and because of the melody, it is easier to remember than the text."

Ming Chen smiled embarrassedly: "I'm not very good at reciting texts."

"Can you speak tongue twisters?" Ke Xiaoran asked with a smile.

"Yes," Ming Chen said, "but the song is still different. The song is interesting and emotional. It feels like singing a song that expresses a certain meaning, as if I said so myself."

Guest Xiao Ran agreed: "Music is like this."

"I sing a lot, and I speak a lot more fluently. Anyway, that was the purpose at first. Of course, I don't think so anymore." Ming Chen rolled his eyes.

The guest Xiao Ran calmed down for a while, and they each poured warm water.

He didn't say anything else, just pretended to hear a story, and asked Ming Chen if his voice was better now?

Ming Chen nodded sharply, and sang "Black Window" again, feeling much better immediately.

The arrangements were all half-finished, and Ke Xiaoran discussed with him all day, revising while singing.Some places have been changed a lot to suit Ming Chen's voice condition.

After recovering, it was already evening, the two of them ate a few pieces of snacks for lunch, and Ming Chen suddenly relaxed, only to feel so hungry that he lost his mind.

"Don't leave in a hurry." Ke Xiaoran stopped him: "Sit down a little longer and eat some candy."

After finishing speaking, he hurriedly opened the door and went out.

Ming Chen sat down obediently, he was really hungry, he really searched for candy in the drawer.Just after unpacking a few soft candies and stuffing them into his mouth, the guest Xiao Ran came back again, holding a document in his hand, pushed his glasses and said, "Take a look."

Ming Chen puffed his cheeks and took it.

It is a proposal for a singer program.

"The first time I saw you on the set, I thought you were pretty good." Guest Xiao Ran said, "Do you still remember when I said I would recommend you to be on the show?"

Mingchen was shocked: "... I didn't mention it later, I thought Teacher Ke just said it casually!"

"Hahaha," Xiao Ran said heartily, "I didn't make fun of you, it's just that the program team hadn't set up yet, so I couldn't discuss specific cooperation matters with you."

Ming Chen was so moved that he was about to cry, staring wildly at the stamp raised by the program crew.

"Go back and show it to your agent. I think it's a good opportunity for you."

Guest Xiao Ran said gently: "The songs of your group can't fully express your strengths. If you come to this show, more people will like you."

***

Si Yan'an stood in front of the gate of Yangxinzhai, and looked up at the plaque.

Can't get in.

This embarrassing fact made him feel irritable and powerless.

In summer, although it is almost September, the temperature is still as high as purgatory, and stepping on the ground is torture.In this weather, there is still a queue for a restaurant? ? ?

He was wearing a long-sleeved hat, sunglasses and a mask. He was so hot that he lost his mind. He stood beside the curtain at the door, rubbing against the cold air conditioner leaking from inside.

Not to mention pitiful.

"No need to wait for a table at the takeaway window! Buy it and eat at home, young man!" A waiter opened the curtain and shouted at him.

Si Yanan stood stubbornly at the door.

Yes, this store even has a separate takeaway window, which looks like a Kentucky dessert stand. Some people buy iced drinks, and some leave with a few big bags of lunch boxes.

These people all looked at him when they left in unison.

Si Yanan felt that he was the signboard at the entrance of the dessert station.

"Young man!" After a while, the waiter opened the curtain again: "Come in and wait!? There is an air conditioner inside!"

Si Yanan looked at the densely packed seats in the waiting area through the transparent curtain, and the densely populated people sitting on them. At this time, the densely cast curious eyes made him fall into a fierce struggle in his heart.

In the end, perseverance defeated the desire to turn on the air conditioner, and he stood firmly outside the curtain, catching the pitiful cool wind blowing from the gap.

He really lacked common sense in life, and Si Yan'an realized it at this moment.

He had heard about queues for meals in first-tier cities, but he had never experienced it himself and had no awareness of it.Otherwise, he would never come at this time.

After five minutes past one, the waiter opened the curtain again, this time with good news: "Sir, there is a seat, come in!"

Yangxin Zhai was remodeled at the beginning of the year. The facade on the first floor is still as big as before, but the second floor is expanded horizontally to double the width.

Si Yanan chose the corner booth, surrounded by green plants and screens as partitions, it seemed relatively safe.

The last time Ming Chen brought the two of them, they sat directly on the first floor, but this time when they came up, they felt more comfortable than looking down below.

Although it is basically his first visit, he is no stranger to the food in the store.The old lady of Guo Helmet's family likes this store, and Guo Helmet has bought public utensils for private use many times.He also threw a pear lily soup.

The first time Ming Chen met him, he also gave him a copy.

After the damned Guo Keg leaked his words, Ming Chen was very concerned about the fact that he threw the soup once, mentioned it several times, and even suspected that the soup he personally delivered that night was also thrown away.

Si Yanan looked at the menu, remained silent for a long time, and finally ticked a certain soup.

Coming here was not a whim.

Mingchen's birthday is on September 9st, and his fans have been collecting birthday gifts everywhere in Chaohua in the past few days.Si Yanan can easily see it with a swipe.

How should lovers celebrate each other's birthday?He never thought that he would have to face this kind of problem one day.

After looking around on the Internet, there was no useful suggestion. After much deliberation, he still wanted to surprise Ming Chen.

He decided to meet Ming Chen's parents.

If he didn't celebrate with his parents before, he would ask Lu Mang.

The last time Ming Chen brought him here, he introduced him as a very good friend and senior.At that time, he was still a little alienated, and only said hello to his aunt.

But he knew that the relationship between Ming Chen and his family was very good, it was a relationship that other people would feel close.During the Chinese New Year, Ming Chen made dumplings for fans live at home. Later, it was his mother who communicated with netizens in the live broadcast room, and made many jokes.

When fans heard Ming Chen calling her "Sister Xin", they joked that she was right, calling her sister, and they all kowtowed and called me Miss Sister.

The dishes were served quickly, and Si Yanan ate slowly.He didn't tell the waiter that he wanted to meet the proprietress until it was close to three o'clock when the shop was all gone. He said that she was Ming Chen's friend.

Not long after, "Sister Xin" came up, an ordinary woman who was very enthusiastic, and she seemed as cute as Ming Chen.

Si Yan'an politely explained the purpose of his visit.

"Birthday?" Sister Xin was slightly stunned: "Chenchen's birthday is not."

"...Huh?" Si Yan'an was also stunned: "Why? The Internet is preparing for his birthday."

"Ah, online!" Sister Xin understood: "It's fake, it's just filled in on the ID card. I don't know when Chen Chen was born. When we were young, we asked if we should set a random day so that we can have something to eat together. It’s time to celebrate. Chen Chen doesn’t want it himself, if he says he doesn’t know, he doesn’t know, and he can eat it any day.”

The crow's feet at the corners of Xinjie's eyes were slightly wrinkled, and she looked very happy: "I think so, so forget it. Children have their own ideas!"

"..." Si Yan'an didn't know what to say anymore.

All the information he heard was not within the scope of his previous expectations.To be precise, it is incomprehensible.

"Why, I don't know when my birthday is?" he asked.

"Oh, don't you know?" Sister Xin was surprised: "Chenchen didn't tell you...then can I tell you? Oops."

She thought about it, and seemed to think that Ming Chen had never avoided friends before, and this one was the same, and it was not easy being a child, so it was out of good intentions to come here to find him on a hot day.

So she confessed frankly: "It's nothing, his brother and I are not his biological parents. He was eight years old when he was raised."

……

Leaving Yangxin Zhai, Si Yanan brought two big bags of lunch boxes.

Guo Hei had just driven the car, and when he saw such a big bag, he let out a hush.

"My God, so many! Is there any share for me?"

Si Yanan didn't speak.

Guo Kui didn't care about him, he muttered to himself, talking about his old lady's comments on the new products of Yangxinzhai, how many stars each dish gave, and how many stars could be given when the price was reduced, it was annoying to hear bother.

"Shut up." Si Yan'an cursed with a dark face.

"Hey?" Guo Hei was startled: "Boss, calm down? What's the matter? This is so irritable, it's hurting your body! Now there is air conditioning in the store, so it can be hot? Why don't you open a glass of drink first Moisturize your throat..." blabla.

Guo Hei continued talking like this for another 10 minutes, when Si Yanan suddenly said, "Turn left."

"Ah?" Guo Helm was puzzled, but he turned the steering wheel honestly and got stuck in the left-turn lane.Behind him was a grumpy old driver who honked his horn.

He took a deep breath: "Go cream strawberries."

"Ah? It's broad daylight...drinking hurts your health." Guo Hei muttered a few more words and turned the car back.

The bar is right here, and it won't take long.

But the store hadn't opened yet, so Si Yan'an directly called Zhou Kaiyuan, got out of the car, and sent Guo Hei away.

"Hi." Zhou Kaiyuan welcomed him in, with a surprised expression on his face: "Why are you here at this time? Have you had lunch yet?"

Si Yanan put a big bag of Yangxinzhai on his counter and sat down silently.

Zhou Kaiyuan didn't rush him, but poured a glass of Sprite.

"Help me check someone." After a while, Si Yan'an finally spoke.

"Okay, who is it?" Zhou Kaiyuan wiped his glass.

"Ming Chen." Si Yan'an said, "Where was he before he became a trainee?"
