we are not friends anymore

Chapter 7

For the whole story of "Wolf Smoke", the conversation between Xiao Jue and Yan Shaowu on the lake is a very important turning point.At this time, Yan Shaowu had just experienced the death of his younger brother, and his hatred for Cheng Xuan made him gradually lean towards Xiao Jue's side and finally made a decision in this conversation; its into the union.It was after this conversation that the young marshals completed the final step of forming an alliance.

Therefore, the director has very high requirements for the emotional details of this scene. Just the change in Yan Shaowu's eyes when he turned his head has taken the trouble to shoot many times.

Qiao Mingxi didn't want to disturb her, so she simply stood aside and watched the filming of the scene.Some staff at the scene saw him coming, but because the show was being broadcast live, they didn't dare to come over and say hello to him at this time.

A girl who worked on the scene saw him and moved a stool lightly. Qiao Mingxi smiled at her and was not polite, so she just sat down and watched them filming.

In fact, this is not the first time Qiao Mingxi watched Ji Yan filming. When he and Ji Yan followed closely before, the company took Ji Yan alone, and he would follow as long as there was no notice.

In the beginning, some crew members were not big names. As Qiao’s family member, he was the one with the most stars. Ji Yan knew how to behave, and even asked his assistant to buy water and food for the whole crew. He personally apologized to the director and assistant, sorry for him This "friend" disturbed everyone.Later, Qiao Mingxi gradually learned the tricks of the crew, and every time he went to "visit the set" with water and gifts, seeing the smiling faces of everyone facing him, Qiao Mingxi thought that he had done a good job.

At that time, Ji Yan would just sit and watch while Ji Yan was filming, and when Ji Yan was resting, he would go over to talk to him. He had a tricky appetite cultivated from a young age, and he also ate the crew's boxed lunch with Ji Yan; He will be counted.

He followed step by step, following too closely, and instead followed Ji Yan away.

Xue Qiao couldn't count how many times he turned his head, and the director finally let it go with satisfaction.Next, according to the plot, Yan Shaowu wanted to test Xiao Jue's skills suddenly. The director shouted "Ka", and the martial arts instructor on the other side came to give the two final instructions.

The makeup artist came to tidy up Ji Yan's hair, and while Ji Yan let her play with it, while listening to Wu Zhi give Xue Qiao instructions, he inadvertently looked not far away, and saw a familiar figure.

They have been inseparable for the past eight years, no one is more familiar with this person than Ji Yan.In fact, they are no longer what they were when they first debuted, but he is always as handsome as a teenager.It has been half a year since the group disbanded, and they haven't even said a word between them.During the wedding that day, Ji Yan felt that he was getting thinner, and he seemed to be exhausted and lifeless.Nothing seemed to interest him.

Qiao Mingxi was talking to the director, when she raised her head by accident, she caught Ji Yan's eyes.

The sunlight leaked through the clouds from time to time, hurting his eyes a little.Qiao Mingxi looked back blankly as if he didn't see anything.

The official shooting of Yan Shaowen's part didn't start until the second day. Qiao Mingxi waited on the set until the director had time to tell him the scene again, and then brought Xiao Yan back to the hotel.

"Director Lin's team is really well-deserved." Xiao Yan followed Qiao Mingxi and said, "Brother Mingxi, you only have three episodes in your contract, and you have done it so formally."

"Huang Yao has always been like this." Qiao Mingxi took off his makeup on the set, and the half-day tossing made his already tired face look even more listless, "Go back and rest, I want to sleep for a while."

"Brother Mingxi, are you not eating?" Xiao Yan asked.

"En." Qiao Mingxi took his backpack from Xiao Yan, waved him away, and went back to the room by himself.

The moment he opened the door, he was a little stunned. He took two steps back and looked up at the house number: "Why are you here?"

"Are you done?" The person who was huddled on the sofa and ate the apple threw the core into the trash can, "I'm here to find you."

Qiao Mingxi glanced at him without emotion, went straight into the room and threw the backpack on the ground.Lin Zining was spread out on the sofa, his long legs blocked the way, Qiao Mingxi raised his head and stepped over without hesitation.

"Axi, I'm talking to you." Lin Zining was dissatisfied, "I'm very angry now, I'm here to punish the teacher."

Qiao Mingxi opened the suitcase that the assistant brought in early in the morning, and took out the things one by one: "Oh."

"Oh? You just say 'oh'?" Lin Zining jumped up, the facial features on her beautiful face exaggeratedly stretched, "Don't you know that I want to play this role? You don't really like acting, why are you with me? Grab a role?"

"I don't know." Qiao Mingxi's tone was flat, as if he couldn't see the anger rising from Lin Zining's head.

"..." Lin Zining paused, unable to find anything to say.

Qiao Mingxi took the skin care products and daily necessities that Xiao Yan stuffed into his suitcase and walked to the bathroom, Lin Zining followed behind him like a wraith that could not be shaken off.

"Then you always know that Brother Yan is starring in this drama, right?" Lin Zining rambled, "What do you want to do here? Make trouble? Not at all, this role is not important, it can't affect Brother Yan...to monitor Brother Yan? Brother Yan has already quit his job now, how can you monitor him..."

He leaned against the door of the bathroom, and saw Qiao Mingxi slowly put the daily necessities on the sink one by one with his back turned to him, he paused, and asked cautiously: "Axi, don't you..."

"Did you chase after him to reunite with Brother Yan?"

Snapped!

A black shadow flew towards him, Lin Zining suddenly dodged to the side, the expensive moisturizer fell to the ground, instantly fell to pieces, the cold liquid splashed up and jumped onto Lin Zining's cheek.

Qiao Mingxi was also taken aback when he threw the thing: "I'm sorry."

Lin Zining stared at him dumbfounded, and was about to speak, when a low and indifferent voice suddenly came from behind: "Qiao Mingxi."

Qiao Mingxi was almost frightened, looked up towards the door with trembling eyelashes, saw the man standing at the door of the room, his face was obscured by the orange light in the corridor.

But the voice is so cold and clear——

"What are you doing?"

Why didn't I close the door just now?

Qiao Mingxi thought blankly.

Qiao Mingxi stood on the shore, raised her hands and obediently let the costumer tidy up her collar, and listened carefully to the director's talk.

It was obviously hot weather, but he needed to wear thick long-sleeved trousers and a heavy cloak for going out because of the plot.

What he is about to shoot is a memory killing of brothers. The time is not long after Yan Shaowu just found out that he has a younger brother like Yan Shaowen. Yan Shaowu still has some rejection of the younger brother who suddenly appeared; He was chattering behind him, and the two of them walked across the long bamboo bridge one after the other.

It was on this bamboo bridge that Yan Shaowu finally stopped and stretched out his hand to Yan Shaowen to pull him across the bamboo bridge.

This scene is simple to say, but there is a certain degree of difficulty: Xue Qiao has to act out Yan Shaowu's transformation from rejection, hesitation to acceptance, while Qiao Mingxi has to walk and say a series of lines like falling beads, and he always remembers According to the screenwriter's instruction - to act lively and innocent rather than mentally retarded.

After the director finished talking to the two of them, seeing Qiao Mingxi nodding, he rolled up the script and said, "Okay, let's start."

The scene reporter on the side then raised his voice and shouted to the surroundings: "The tenth scene of the thirty-fifth episode is ready!"

Xue Qiao walked up to the bamboo bridge a few times first, while Qiao Mingxi took a few steps back and stood at the position designated by the director. All the staff members were ready, and the scene recorder saw the director's gesture, and as soon as he hit the board, the scene officially began.

"Brother!" Yan Shaowen dragged his heavy cloak and walked clumsily to the bamboo bridge, "Wait for me!"

Yan Shaowu paused, but ignored him and continued to walk forward.Yan Shaowen went up the bamboo bridge, followed behind him and asked excitedly: "Is this the Big Wild Goose Lake? It must be Big Wild Goose Lake, right? I know it even if you don't tell me. This is my first time here! Brother, how did you find out?" ? Don’t you need to go to the camp today? Where are we going to wait? I heard that there is a bakery in the city that is very delicious, bro..."

"Can you be quiet?" Yan Shaowu stopped with a headache, and turned his head with a helpless expression.

Yan Shaowen paused, then nodded in a daze: "Okay."

Yan Shaowu rolled his eyes, turned around and continued walking.

With a smile on Yan Shaowen's childish face, he lifted his feet and continued walking on the uneven bamboo bridge.

"Brother, do you like cakes made by foreigners?"

Sitting behind the monitor, the director frowned slightly as he watched Qiao Mingxi's deviating route.

Qiao Mingxi felt that he was gradually getting into the mood. He put aside his usual air of wandering, and completely entered Wendi's joyful mood. He had memorized this line very well the day before, and the more he spoke it, the more fluent he became.While talking, he stepped on the bamboo bridge and walked forward.

"Brother, we..."

He didn't realize that he had strayed off the route and walked to the very edge of the bamboo bridge. The lines in his mouth were still rolling on his lips, but suddenly his feet were empty——

"what!"

A girl on the shore exclaimed, and the director suddenly stood up from behind the monitor.

Qiao Mingxi himself didn't realize what happened, he just felt his body suddenly fall, and Xue Qiao, who was several steps away from him, also shook in surprise.

No one had time to grab him, Qiao Mingxi suddenly plunged into the water.

The crew's cloak was of good quality, and it immediately became heavier when it fell into the water. Qiao Mingxi was dragged down by a strong force, and she couldn't even shout.

He can't swim, and is actually very afraid of water.

At this moment, he didn't think about why the edge of the bamboo bridge suddenly broke, and he couldn't think about what he should do.

He only felt bitingly cold and suffocating. It was a hot summer, but he felt the chill had penetrated into his bones, and the pain was so painful that he couldn't call for help.

My mind was at a loss, only one name was floating fiercely.

Ji Yan, Ji Yan...

After being separated for half a year, at this moment when I couldn't breathe at all, the person in my heart who had been silent for a long time suddenly burst into tears.

Eight years, eight full years—

Ji Yan...

It turned out that I never had you.
