Play bone

Chapter 36 Pas de deux

Under the hillside where the castle is located is a small town, facing the deep blue North Sea, with toy-like houses and towering steeple churches piled up on the shore. At first glance, it is not much different from Avignon in the south.

While Shen Xingze was still putting on makeup, Lu Li leaned on the wall outside the castle to blow the sea breeze.He squinted his eyes and found a winding line of tourists at the bottom of the hill, slowly walking up under the leadership of a tour guide holding a small flag high.

I didn't expect that there were also Asian tourists here.

Lu Li watched the group of people slowly walk to the platform near the castle gate.The tour guide stepped forward to talk to the staff guarding the door. It seemed that he had been told that there were activities in the castle and declined to visit.

Tourists took pictures of the old castle in the background and left one after another.And the gossip soon spread from the gate: the town at the foot of the castle was very prosperous, and there was a large flea market selling exquisite handicrafts and antique jewelry.Refugees are nowhere to be seen. Although there are beggars in churches and streets, they look more like Eastern European or Gypsy faces.

This is obviously very good news—they have been in France for many days, except for the trip to Lido on the first night, the team has almost no time for sightseeing and shopping.I work during the day, and the shops close early at night, and I have money and no place to spend it.Seeing that the photoshoot is finished today, and we are going back to China early tomorrow morning, in fact, everyone is holding back a lot of energy in their hearts, secretly wanting to find a chance to let go.

Anna summarized everyone's opinions and came over to discuss with Lu Li.Lu Li was tempted to buy some gifts for his mother and some cousins.

They were still thinking about how to get Shen Xingze's approval, when they heard the Japanese team suddenly become lively.

It turned out that Paulina was not alone this time.Her Japanese painter father, supermodel mother, and eight-year-old younger sister Claire are also on vacation in France.They had just arrived from the small town down the mountain, and they had obviously had a good time.

The 16-year-old mixed-race girl is wearing a Dolce & Gabbana floral dress, her father's insightful jewelry from an antique store on her neck, and a garland woven with nasturtium and fig leaves on her long chestnut curly hair.It is as beautiful as an angel descending to earth, which makes people unable to take their eyes off.

The photographer was apparently also taken by the angel's face.While Paulina was adjusting her look, he pointed at Claire while whispering to his assistant.For some reason, he looked towards Lu Li while talking.

The assistant quickly walked towards Claire's parents, while the photographer walked towards Shen Xingxuan himself.

Half a minute later, Shen Xingze beckoned Lu Li to go over, revealing the purpose of giving him an extra look just now - the photographer suddenly had an inspiration and wanted Lu Li and Claire, who were similar in age, to join the shoot.It is also a combination of men and women, adult and youth, oriental and mixed race, it must be a very interesting comparison.

Claire quickly agreed to shoot, and Shen Xingze kicked the ball to Lu Li.

"What do you think?"

In fact, Lu Li didn't have to think about it at all, of course he couldn't resist this temptation.

China Film Group disapproves of low-grade students taking on roles, but it does not prevent the shooting of short films such as magazine photos or advertisements.What's more, it is such a blockbuster produced by an internationally renowned camera team, even Lu Li has never experienced it in his "last life".

He licked his lips, but said something else.

"Later... Sister Anna and all of us want to go to the town below."

"I didn't ask you this again now." Shen Xingze corrected.

Lu Li lowered his head, but raised his eyes to look at Shen Xingxuan.This angle actually gave him the illusion of looking docile and docile.

He asked back, "Then can I shoot?"

Shen Xing chose to look at Lu Li.The weird feeling that day on the terrace of the Avignon Hotel suddenly came out again, and his hands slowly clenched until the pain of nails digging into the palm came, and then he felt that there was nothing in the palm.

"I want to shoot."

Before Shen Xingxuan could answer, Lu Li gave the answer first.Smiling, as if the rhetorical question just now was just a joke.It also seems to be saying: Whether you agree or not, Shen Xing chooses, it will not affect my decision.

The filming of Shen Xingxuan and Paulina continued.According to the temporarily modified plan, the make-up artist began to arrange the styles and costumes for Lu Li and Claire.The two of them are one size smaller than the adult group, and the pre-prepared costumes may not fit well, so there are many clips and pins on the back and other places that the camera cannot see.

Standing under the spotlight again after many years, it is obviously not so easy to quickly enter the state.The photographer continued to give instructions in English with a strong accent, but Lu Li began to feel that his body was not in control.

The tension caused his muscles to discount the instructions of his brain without authorization. Although he knew exactly what to do in his heart, he just couldn't make the most precise posture.

And Claire next to him behaved even worse, even though his sister and mother whispered reminders in two languages, but still behaved like a real doll,

After getting the photographer's consent, Paulina went to the battle in person to correct her sister's posture and expression.At the same time, Shen Xingze also walked towards Lu Li.

"The top students in China Film Academy are only capable of this?"

There was provocation in his voice, and there was a vague sense of pride in the future.

Lu Li stared at him, unwilling to be reconciled but unable to get angry.A dark fire of embarrassment was suffocated in the stomach, forcing every pore of the limbs and bones, ironing out the originally stiff muscles.

"I can do it."

His surface is still calm, only a little light from the dark fire can be seen in his eyes.

Shen Xing chose not to argue anymore.He stood beside Lu Li, pinched Lu Li's wrist with his left hand and lifted it up, and pressed his right hand on his waist, signaling him to treat him as a female companion.

Lu Li suddenly felt that the scene was a bit like a duet dance teaching scene. The distance between the two of them was so close that it was never seen before. He could smell the light tobacco scent on Shen Xingze's body, and even the refreshing Rutaceae scent of aftershave. .

In fact, why did it come to this, Shen Xingxuan's breathing was also lingering around his ears, the warm moisture slowly ebbed and flowed.

"...Adjust your expression."

Shen Xingxuan's voice suddenly pierced through the moisture: "Think about the things that make you happy, don't laugh, and look at the camera with emotion."

Lu Li was immersed in Shen Xingze's breath, and just raised his head to meet Shen Xingze's eyes.Before he could think about what the so-called "happy things" were, he saw Shen Xingze nodded in satisfaction.

"Yes, keep your current eyes."

The brief training ended quickly, and the two young men both returned to the photography lights.After all, Lu Li is a veteran, and after Shen Xingxuan's provocation, he finally began to regain his form, and even guided Claire's movements.

This time the shooting really went much smoother.When the young group was getting better, the photographer signaled Shen Xing to join Paulina together.The shutter beeped frequently, and occasional compliments with a strong accent could be heard.

There are four scenic spots on the top and bottom of the castle. Due to the temporary adjustment of the shooting plan, the actual closing time was also delayed by one hour.

It takes about two to three hours to drive from Calais to Paris.Even if we set off immediately, it would be dark by the time we got back to the hotel.Everyone originally thought that the trip to the town was in vain, but they didn't expect that Shen Xingze stopped Anna and asked them if they wanted to go to the flea market just now.

Hearing that Shen Xingze's team was going to go sightseeing, Claire and her family enthusiastically introduced the general layout of the town, where is the antique street, and where are the waffles sold that are not inferior to Belgium.Lu Li specifically asked questions about public security, and the answer he got was still: It's very safe, don't worry at all.

With the double guarantee from the previous tourists and the Wakamatsu family, everyone finally felt completely at ease.The few who couldn't wait had already volunteered to go down the mountain to explore the way; while Anna waited for Shen Xingxuan and Lu Li to change their clothes, and then brought two bodyguards, one Chinese and one French, before walking slowly down the hillside.

This is really a bustling seaside town, with ancient stone houses, stone flat bridges and flower beds everywhere.Even underfoot is a winding and rugged gravel road.Blooming flowers in summer protrude from every corner of these stone buildings against the backdrop of green leaves, hanging in clusters one by one, always occupying the attention of passers-by.

Those who walked in front quickly sent back the specific locations of the flea market and the antique street.Lu Li bought a map on the side of the road, followed the map, and quickly led Anna and Shen Xing to find it.

The flea market is located in the square in the center of the town, with four rows of nearly [-]-meter-long stalls displaying a wide range of handicrafts and tourist souvenirs.And around the market is the Antique Street, where the necklace on Claire's neck came from.

Anna was interested in the flea market, while Lu Li wanted to buy an antique jewelry for his mother, so they made an appointment to split up.

However, just as Lu Li walked to the door of the first store, he suddenly noticed the people behind him reflected in the window.

He turned his head, and sure enough, he found Shen Xingxuan and two bodyguards standing less than two meters away from him with expressionless faces.The three of them were all tall, with dark glasses, and it seemed that Lu Li was the one who was really protected.

Lu Li smiled on the surface: "Boss, what do you want to buy?"

"Just take a look." Shen Xingze replied very perfunctorily, and then asked, "What about you?"

Lu Li confessed his intentions, and then waited for Shen Xing to walk into the store before him or turn around and leave.However, Shen Xing chose not to say anything, and just stood there with the two bodyguards.

Lu Li began to use his imagination to guess the eyes behind those sunglasses.He suddenly felt that the man following him like this was a little pitifully lonely.

So he tentatively asked: "I'm not very good at antiques, senior brother, can you help me?"

There was still no reaction on Shen Xingze's face under the sunglasses, but he immediately walked towards the antique shop with his long legs.
