Play bone

Xu Rulin has his own nanny car, and it takes only four to five minutes to drive from the hotel to the location.Along the way, the assistant needs to check with him about the next shooting arrangement - there will be a night scene today, but it is not too late, and it will end at eight or nine o'clock.

After arriving at the scene, Xu Rulin was not in a hurry to get out of the car.After a while, several sweaty make-up assistants entered the car with tools and began to stick the fake headgear for him; and Assistant Chen seized the time to confront Xu Rulin's lines, so he couldn't be free for a moment.

Half an hour later, Xu Rulin finally changed into his costume and entered the set.Lu Li and Assistant Chen also got out of the car with their own hands. Like eunuchs, they followed Xu Rulin's footsteps.

The play in the afternoon took place in the shed.This is a large-scale shed in Hailing City, with a height of four or five floors and a volume of more than 1000 square meters, making indoor air conditioning an unaffordable luxury.What's even more frightening is that the rows of bright headlights high above their heads are like charcoal fires under a barbecue grill, making people squirt oil from the sun.

Lu Li also took pictures of ancient costumes in the dog days, and he knew that this kind of hot and windless greenhouse usually hovers around [-] or [-] degrees.Although the production crew put a lot of dry ice on the ground and blown it with fans non-stop, it is a pity that the cooling effect is still a drop in the bucket.

It had only been five or six minutes since he entered the arena, and a layer of sweat was already forming on Lu Li's forehead and back.But he couldn't take care of himself at all - Xu Rulin was playing with other actors, and he had to accompany him with a fan.

Perhaps because of the temperature and the emotions of the actors, the afternoon drama was generally short and fast.The executive director briefly finished the scene, and the actors started shooting after several trials.

At this time, Lu Li finally had some free time. He quietly walked behind the monitor, but before he could stand still, Assistant Chen came over and dragged him away.

"It's okay, don't communicate with other people."

Assistant Chen took him behind a big pillar a little far away, and whispered in a low voice: "Teacher Xu doesn't like people who are too capable of doing things."

Lu Li hurriedly said that he just wanted to see the screen on the monitor.But he changed his mind again: What Xu Rulin hates should be someone taking the opportunity of being his assistant to strike up a conversation with other members of the crew; in his eyes, this may be regarded as a disguised form of "eating the inside out".

While thinking about how to use others, at the same time beware of being used by others - in this circle, the more people think the more tired they are.

The first scene was filmed fairly smoothly. After the director yelled "cut", the scene suddenly became noisy.The director adjusted the position of the camera with the viewfinder; the lighting and camera crew moved accordingly; the temporarily uninvolved staff threw themselves around the reopened blower, worshiping the melting ice like primitive humans worshiping the sun.

And some actors with airs were embarrassed, and could only rely on their assistants to deliver various cooling items before touching up their makeup.

According to Assistant Chen's instructions, Lu Li took out mineral water from the small refrigerator and poured it into a glass, pressed a slice of lemon on the rim of the glass, inserted a straw, put the cup on the sleeve, and brought it to Xu Rulin.

Xu Rulin was complaining to female No. [-] about the extreme heat in the shed, when he suddenly felt a gust of cool wind blowing from behind, he turned around and found that Lu Li was still holding the miniature fan aloft, and the secret of coolness came from the small plate of crushed ice in front of the fan .

Maybe it was because the coolness of "custom made" brought a good mood, or maybe it was the half-truth and half-fake envy of the female number three that produced a chemical reaction—from then on, Xu Rulin's attitude towards Lu Li finally changed a little bit. better.

At around five o'clock in the afternoon, the play in the studio finally came to an end.The big team returned to the hotel for dinner, and then took a short rest. At 06:30 in the evening, the filming of the night scene continued.

This is an extremely large-scale crew, and there are three photography teams with division of labor and different progress.In the afternoon, Xu Rulin was in Group B.Tonight's night show AB two groups merged, Xu Rulin and Shen Xingxuan are about to stage a wonderful rivalry.

When the evening light was completely stable, Lu Li followed Xu Rulin into the filming location of the outdoor scene - "Mountain Temple".A cordon has been set up outside the entire site, and there are security guards on patrol.The courtyard is full of props and machines, and a few cannon-like dysprosium lamps illuminate the courtyard as brightly as a snow cave.

Xu Rulin started to touch up her makeup, while Lu Li was in charge of holding the fan and the script.When nothing happened for a while, his eyes began to wander around, and he soon found Shen Xingze.

What is planned to be filmed tonight are several sets of assassination scenes.Jinyiwei Tiqi, played by Shen Xingxuan, failed to sneak attack on the prince played by Xu Rulin, and escaped with injuries.Acting with him is the female star Wang Anliu. Although she just became a mother of twins last year, she still looks sweet and beautiful like a girl.

Lu Li looked at those two people from afar, and had to admit that they were picturesque.He then remembered that Shen Xingxuan was originally a man and woman, and maybe one day he would have a beautiful wife and son in his arms, enjoying the family happiness - and that would definitely be another so-called "entertainment story".

What about yourself?Will there be another person waiting for me in the near future?

For some reason, Lu Li didn't have any sense of expectation.He was in a trance when Xu Rulin's cold voice suddenly broke into his mind.

"What are you looking at?"

"Over there..." Lu Li hurriedly found an excuse, "I seem to know some extras."

Xu Rulin really believed it: "You used to be a group performer? Then why did you change your career?"

"The income of group performances is too small and unstable. I want to earn more tuition fees."

"What school do you study?"

Lu Li hesitated for a moment, but pride still prevailed.

"I want to go to China Film Group." He said, "but the tuition is very expensive."

"...China Film?"

Xu Rulin chuckled with undisguised contempt.Lu Li didn't know whether the contempt was aimed at himself or at the China Film Academy.He didn't want to know either.

------------------

Xu Rulin's play was scheduled for the second scene tonight, the first one being the emotional scene between the male and female protagonists.

During the lunch break, Lu Li secretly read the script: The plot should be that after the assassination failed, Shen Xingxuan was wounded and hid in the ruined temple, and Wang Anliu bandaged him.The lonely man and the widow share weal and woe, so it is inevitable to extend a gorgeous emotional drama.

Both of them are experienced veteran actors, and this level of performance is not so embarrassing that they need to clear the scene.Although there are only two people in the camera, dozens of heads are crowded inside and outside the ruined temple. The scene is really spectacular.

Xu Rulin was still struggling with his complicated costume, and Lu Li had to lift his long hair behind him, so he didn't have the time or interest to join in the fun.

Anyway, everything under the spotlight is false; and only he knows when Shen Xingxuan really wants to kiss someone.His lips would be hotter than body temperature, surprisingly soft, and hard to shake off once touched.Out of malice, Lu Li used the term "leech sucking blood" more than once.

And those kisses presented in front of the camera lens are another look-more like a perfectly packaged but impractical rococo decoration.

After about 10 minutes, the ruined temple gradually became noisy.It looks like the game should be over.Xu Rulin has also packed up and walked over to get ready for the show.

Lu Li followed behind Xu Rulin, and as soon as he stepped over the threshold, he saw Shen Xingcho touching up his makeup in a corner.

Damn, there is still a woman's lipstick mark on the corner of the mouth.

Shen Xingze had just received the tissue from the assistant when he suddenly felt a cold stare.He turned his head and saw two people standing at the gate of the ruined temple seven or eight steps away.

The light from the courtyard outlines their silhouettes. The one in ancient costume should be Xu Rulin, and the person beside Xu Rulin has a strange sense of déjà vu no matter how he walks or how he gestures.

how is this possible……!

Shen Xingxuan closed his eyes forcefully and then opened them again, the silhouette has turned into a real person.

It was Lu Li, but it wasn't Lu Li.

------------

The next scene was a rivalry between the supporting actor and the leading actress. Xu Rulin and Shen Xing chose to go to the director after exchanging pleasantries.This scene was relatively long, and with Xu Rulin's quality, it would be impossible to handle it in less than half an hour.

So after the filming officially started, Lu Li quietly left the scene under the cover of darkness. He had to call his mother and tell her that he had to work overtime and he was not sure when he would be home.

He walked out from the right door of the ruined temple, and outside was a small yard full of mirages.However, at this moment, there is a faint smell of smoke mixed with the refreshing floral fragrance.

It took Lu Li a while to realize that there was a man in ancient costume sitting on the boulder under the sweet-scented osmanthus tree, with a golden-red cigarette butt dangling from his mouth.

Before he could speak, he heard the other party speak.

"...following Xu Rulin?"

Now Lu Li could tell that the smoker was Shen Xingze.

"Brother Shen." He walked over to greet him.

Shen Xingze exhaled a puff of smoke slowly, and the evening wind blew the scent that Lu Li was familiar with everywhere.It wasn't until Lu Li began to think about finding a reason to get away that he finally heard another sentence.

"Old Xu has a bad temper."

"...It's actually okay. Filming in summer is stressful."

Lu Li said haha ​​casually, he is not the kind of person like Shen Xingze who can say what he thinks about others without any scruples.

"I really like this job, thank you Brother Shen for your help."

He saw the golden-red cigarette butt brighten and then darken, and then the smell of the cigarette became stronger again.

"You remind me of someone." Shen Xingze said suddenly, "A friend of mine."

Lu Li was surprised, he didn't expect Shen Xingxuan's intuition to be so strong; and after being surprised, he was a little tempted - to be honest, he kept a secret for too long, and always hoped to find someone to share it with.

But for some reason, the idiom "Ye Gong loves dragons" popped up in his head.

People who keep saying that they love dragons are scared out of their wits by real dragons in the end.True dragons don't need to care about Ye Gong's likes and dislikes; but Lu Li's new life has just started, and any action Shen Xing chooses may cause immeasurable consequences.

Lu Li is not a real dragon, he hasn't crossed the dragon gate yet, so he absolutely can't take this risk.

"I am very honored."

After careful consideration, he chose this innocuous answer, and then waited for Shen Xing's reaction.

The cigarette butt, which hadn't been moved since just now, slowly lit up again, and then there was the sound of clothes rubbing.

"gone."

Shen Xing chose to snuff out the cigarette butt on the trash can, then turned and walked towards the set.Leaving Lu Li alone, he remained silent for a while facing the sweet-scented osmanthus tree before taking out his phone.

__________

Tonight's night scene was filmed until ten o'clock.Lu Li sent Xu Rulin back to the hotel, confirmed the start time and schedule of tomorrow's work, and then rode through the empty movie theater and went home to rest.

After that day, the job was finally on the right track.Although Xu Rulin was still harsh and arrogant, but most of his energy was put on filming, and Lu Li was usually down-to-earth, diligent and well-behaved, so he lived in peace.

In a blink of an eye, a peaceful week passed like this.On Monday afternoon of the second week, there was a media visit.
