Forced to start CP business with ex-boyfriend

The hair of the man in the elevator was meticulously combed, his neat white shirt was buttoned up meticulously, and he was wearing a dignified dark black waistcoat with a perfect waistline, which set off his well-proportioned broad shoulders and long legs. His handsome face was calm and indifferent, The black eyes looked straight ahead, with an inexplicable majesty.

The four eyes met, and the man's eyes were silent, cold and distant.

Mo Ruifan took a step back subconsciously.

Said that Cao Cao Cao Cao arrived.

Su Yehua beside him had already consciously said hello: "Teacher Chu, what a coincidence."

Chu Huaixun's expression remained unchanged, he nodded to Su Yehua lightly, took a step forward to get out of the elevator, and passed Mo Ruifan.

That gesture seemed like Mo Ruifan was just an ordinary passerby, not worthy of his gaze.

While heaving a sigh of relief, Mo Ruifan felt an absurd sense of loss in his heart.

After Chu Huaixun and his manager's assistant had passed by, Su Yehua dragged Mo Ruifan into the elevator, and then sighed: "Look at the people who are rushing to the film king, their style is different."

Mo Ruifan gave an absent-minded "Hmm", and suddenly realized: "Brother Hua, who was the male lead in "Zi Zi Zhu Feng" that you mentioned just now?"

Su Yehua pressed the button on the first floor: "The one we saw just now."

"Chu Huaixun?" Mo Ruifan's first reaction was disbelief, "Is this drama worthy of his position?"

"You have to count according to industry standards. You really don't deserve it." Su Yehua knows the way here, "Chu Huaixun's first drama "Beijing Song" was filmed by Zhou Qing. He was still an unknown person back then. "The skyrocketed to this point. He came to shoot "Zi Zi Zhu Feng", on the one hand, he came to repay Zhou Qing's favor, on the other hand..."

Su Yehua pointed to the script that Mo Ruifan was still holding, "It is said that Chu Huaixun's studio is also very optimistic about this drama."

They haven't got all the scripts yet, so they don't know the true quality of the scripts.But with Chu Huaixun's status, he must have seen it.

Chu Huaixun is a well-known and capable actor in recent years. He has good acting skills and dedication. No matter what movies or TV series are made, he is very popular.In the few years since his debut, Chu Huaixun has already won various awards, and his goal has already been set on the Golden Rose Award, the highest honor in the domestic film industry.

I don't know if it was bad luck, Chu Huaixun missed this laurel crown several times in the end.

In private, many people have already called him by the code name of "Quasi-Actor", guessing that Chu Huaixun will win the Golden Rose Award in a few years and become a real actor.

Unlike traffic stars like Mo Ruifan, the entertainment circle is like a river bank blown by spring breeze every year. Although it is better than non-hype actors like Chu Huaixun in terms of topicality and fan base, it is still very popular. easily replaced.

If a traffic star wants to become an evergreen tree, he has to sharpen his head and pursue a powerful acting career.

For Mo Ruifan, who is still burdened with black material, it is definitely a profitable business to make friends with Chu Huaixun, who has always had a good reputation, and then use this drama to soar.No wonder Su Yehua felt that this drama could help him turn around.

But Mo Ruifan's complexion subtly became a little complicated.

The self-confidence after the audition is gone at this moment.

"Brother Hua, if Chu Huaixun doesn't want someone to play a certain role...will Director Zhou listen to him?"

"Generally speaking, directors are not influenced by actors." Su Yehua said casually, "But with Chu Huaixun's position, and his relationship with Director Zhou, words must still carry weight."

He turned his head and keenly sensed something was wrong, "Do you have a problem with Chu Huaixun?"

Mo Ruifan subconsciously denied it: "No, I was afraid that he would not like me."

Su Yehua looked him up and down, not doubting him, and sneered: "Chu Huaixun is famous for his dedication, how could he trip you just because he doesn't like you."

Su Yehua turned his back, and the expression on Mo Ruifan's face collapsed.

He and Chu Huaixun really had a little feud.

A few years ago, he and Chu Huaixun... had a relationship.

And it was Chu Huaixun who he dumped back then.

At that time, he was young and energetic, and he left without hesitation after leaving a word.

The breakup was not very happy, and it was hard for Mo Ruifan to believe that Chu Huaixun didn't hold a grudge.

Even if Chu Huaixun has a noble personality and doesn't bother to trip him up...but if he is allowed to pass, they will be filming together for a long time.

Mo Ruifan put himself in his shoes and thought that if he had to act with his ex-boyfriend every day, it would be extremely embarrassing, and he might not be in the mood for filming.

If Chu Huaixun thinks so too...

Mo Ruifan sucked his teeth, feeling that he was going to die.

……

He doesn't have a draft in hand now, and he has nothing to do when he goes to the company. Su Yehua simply sent Mo Ruifan home, and seriously told him: "Think carefully about the script, and don't lose the chain."

Mo Ruifan raised his eyebrows: "Don't worry."

After Su Yehua left, Mo Ruifan's expression suddenly became discouraged, kicked off his shoes and threw himself on the sofa.

After finally getting a chance to stand up, he happened to meet the person he least wanted to meet.

Mo Ruifan buried his face in the pillow, thought about it for a while, and then sat up again.

No, it's too early to give up now.

Although it is certain that Chu Huaixun will play the male lead—otherwise he would not have appeared in Zhou Qing's studio, but maybe he concentrates on figuring out the script and doesn't care who the other actors are at all?It is also possible that Chu Huaixun has a schedule conflict and does not accept this drama?

Mo Ruifan rubbed his face, took the script that had been thrown aside, and began to read it word by word.

……

I thought it would take a while to refuse or agree, but Su Yehua called Mo Ruifan to the company the next day and took out the contract: "Director Zhou's contract has arrived."

Surprisingly, Mo Ruifan was taken aback: "So fast?"

Really, as he guessed, Chu Huaixun didn't ask the actors of other roles at all?

"Zhou Qing has always been casual, and the contract was sent when the starring role was settled." Su Yehua was not surprised, "I checked it, and you signed it if there was no problem."

Mo Ruifan carefully read the contract and confirmed that there was nothing wrong with it. He picked up the pen and was about to sign his name when he stopped writing.

Signing this contract means spending time with Chu Huaixun day and night in the next few months...

Thinking of Chu Huaixun's indifferent eyes without any emotion when they looked at each other in the elevator, Mo Ruifan felt a little timid.

But the pause was only for a moment, Mo Ruifan immediately made up his mind and signed his name.

This role is very important to him.He still has goals to accomplish and cannot end here.

After signing the contract, Zhou Qing quickly gave the complete script. Mo Ruifan put aside unnecessary distractions and devoted himself to the preparation of the script.

Judging by Director Zhou's efficiency, it may not be long before the start of the film. He has to thoroughly understand the script before then—at least he must memorize his lines.

Xie Chenglang plays a very important role in "Zi Zi Zhu Feng". As the young master on the eve of the demise of the feudal forces, his thinking not only has the unique arrogance of the aristocratic class, but also is influenced by the revolutionary and advanced wind, indulging in the old glory of the family, But he also looked down on the privileged class who oppressed the common people... Generally speaking, he was a very complicated character.

It was the first time for Mo Ruifan to challenge such a complex character design.

Before he was coldly dealt with, he was popular for a while with his good-looking face, and he had filmed several idol dramas.

Su Yehua's evaluation of his acting skills in previous filming is: "You can make a good film with a role that suits you, and a shit that doesn't suit you."

Mo Ruifan ate the script at home, and found a lot of movies and TV dramas whose scripts corresponded to the era to watch, trying to experience the unique feeling of that era.

When he was feeling restless, he turned on his phone and looked at Weibo. The rumors of "Mo Ruifan beat up female celebrities in public" were still trending for a long time, and his previous clarifications were all filled with cynicism.

Mo Ruifan was so angry that he directly uninstalled Weibo.

About a week later, Zhou Qing's studio sent a notice, inviting Mo Ruifan to formally join the team and attend the opening ceremony.

As the second male lead with a lot of roles, Mo Ruifan almost had to be in the complete group.

Anyway, it was a ceremony, there might be a reporter, Su Yehua asked the makeup artist to give Mo Ruifan a brief treatment before going out.

Because there was no draft in the past month, Mo Ruifan was too lazy to take care of his appearance, and his hair grew a lot.

The make-up artist has worked in Tianyao for a long time and is very familiar with Mo Ruifan. While fiddling with Mo Ruifan, he said enviously: "Ruifan has such a good background, no matter how hard you take photos, you don't need makeup at all."

She's not flattering.Mo Ruifan is born with fair skin, with those peach blossom eyes, a little haircut makes people unable to move their eyes away.

Mo Ruifan boasted with a smile: "No way, it's because of Sister Zhu's good craftsmanship. I don't dare to look in the mirror at home without makeup."

"You're the one with the sweetest mouth. Do you want to cut this hair?"

"No, it just so happens that the new drama will be longer."

The sister makeup artist tidied up a refreshing look for Mo Ruifan, with her bangs lifted.Mo Ruifan turned around in the mirror, extremely satisfied.

"Brother Hua, have you got the cast list for "Zi Zi Zhu Feng"?"

He has been studying the script at home these days, deliberately not letting himself think about Chu Huaixun.Weibo was also uninstalled, and I didn't read the official announcement of the crew.

Now Mo Ruifan still has a slight fantasy of "Chu Huaixun's schedule conflict and giving up this drama".

"I got it, the male is Chu Huaixun, and the female is Liang Juanyuan."

The last ray of hope is shattered.

The smile on Mo Ruifan's face became a little stiff at the thought of having close contact with Chu Huaixun for a long time to come.

Su Yehua misunderstood Mo Ruifan's expression, and flipped through the documents in his hand: "I haven't heard of this Liang Juanyuan, I don't know where Director Zhou got it from."

Zhou Qing has never played cards according to routines, and he chooses actors as he pleases.But most of the actors who come out of his plays have real talents, and they rarely lose the chain and drag their feet.

Mo Ruifan didn't care much about the female lead. He was about to grab his hair habitually, but when he thought of the finished hairstyle, he held back and sighed softly: "Let's go."

Extending the head is also a knife, and shrinking the head is also a knife.

……

Contrary to Mo Ruifan's expectations, there were no reporters at Zhou Qing's opening ceremony.

It wasn't even a ceremony at all.

He booked a large box, ordered a table of food, asked the leading actors to sit down one by one, and said openly: "I don't like to play games with those reporters. This opening ceremony is for everyone to get to know each other, and then film together and interact with each other." Forgive me."

Mo Ruifan looked around, and there were basically unfamiliar faces.Except for two familiar third- and fourth-tier artists, Mo Ruifan has almost no impression of others.

There was no Chu Huaixun either.

Perhaps Chu Huaixun was too busy to come here, or he may have known Zhou Qing's style earlier and was too lazy to socialize.

Either way, Mo Ruifan was relieved.

Zhou Qing signaled everyone to sit down, stood up and walked aside, patted the tall items covered by the red cloth: "But the process still needs to go through."

He reached out and tore off the red cloth, revealing the brand new tripod camera underneath.

Zhou Qing threw the red cloth aside with satisfaction: "It's done, I ordered boiled chicken with scallion oil and spicy chicken... It's a celebration of the opening ceremony, let's eat."

Mo Ruifan and other actors: "..."

This director Zhou really did not follow the usual path.If I hadn't heard that director Zhou didn't recognize his relatives when he was filming, maybe he would think this director is approachable.

"Drinking is bad for your health. I don't have any wine for today. Let's make do with fruit juice."

The director's calm and relaxed attitude infected the others. Everyone let go of their tension and sat down harmoniously.

Sitting next to Mo Ruifan was a beautiful little girl who took the initiative to say hello: "Brother Fan, may I call you that?"

Mo Ruifan remembered that the little girl was called "Liang Juanyuan" when she was introduced just now, knowing that she was the first girl, she smiled and said, "Hello."

He doesn't have any celebrity airs, and he is familiar with himself, so he chatted with Liang Juanyuan very quickly.

During the chat, Mo Ruifan learned that Liang Juanyuan was not in the circle, but just an amateur.

"Amateur?" Mo Ruifan was taken aback.

"Yeah, I came here with my friend, just to see if I can get some celebrity autographs." The little girl shrugged, "I don't know how Director Zhou chose me."

Pulling an amateur from the side of the road to play the female lead, Director Zhou chose the role as he wanted, it's not aimless.

Mo Ruifan was suddenly curious: "Then what did you do originally?"

"My family makes candy." The little girl gestured, "Handmade sugar, and sugar figures, animals, etc. made from pulled sugar..."

"Hey!" Mo Ruifan was taken aback, "Intangible cultural heritage!"

"It's not so exaggerated, it's just a small skill passed down from family." The little girl waved her hand modestly, "I'll pinch one for Brother Fan later!"

"Then I'm looking forward to it."

"Hahaha. Maybe after a while I will be kicked out by Director Zhou because I can't act well! But seeing Brother Fan and Teacher Chu is a reward!"

The little girl was cheerful and lively, she suddenly turned her head and asked Zhou Qing, "Director Zhou, isn't Teacher Chu coming today?"

Zhou Qing put down his chopsticks and said with a smile, "He said hello in advance and said he would be later..."

Before the words finished, a deep and magnetic voice suddenly sounded at the door: "Sorry, I'm late."

Mo Ruifan's back stiffened, and he turned his head slowly, just in time to see that familiar figure standing at the door, with the usual alienation and indifference in his eyes.

For some reason, although there were many people present, Mo Ruifan had the illusion that Chu Huaixun was looking at him.
