Accidental Mark

【Accidental Mark · Chapter 65】

Zhou Yan frantically swiped through Weibo, the comment area was full of smog and conspiracy theories, she hesitated for a moment, and decided to ask Boss Pei for advice: "President Pei, Cheng Xia has been scolded on the hot search, and now many people suspect that it is Boss Pei, you take care of me Cheng Xia wanted to praise him, so he spent money and forced him into Director Zhu's crew. Look, do we want to do some public relations?"

Of course Pei Shaoze saw the messy speculations in the hot topics.

It's not easy to explain this question directly, because Pei Shaoze really wants to support Cheng Xia, and the two are indeed in a relationship.However, what Cheng Xia said in the interview was correct - the role of Xu Ziyang was not created by spending money, but Cheng Xia won it himself.Cheng Xia's hard work and strength cannot be denied just because Tianxuan has invested more.

The fans in the entertainment industry are all three-day hot, and they can pass away without paying attention.

Pei Shaoze said calmly: "Let's deal with it coldly. I spend money to cancel the trending search now, but I will confirm my inference that I support Cheng Xia. Let the netizens scold and guess. When it is officially released, Cheng Xia conquers the audience with her acting skills, those black fans will have nothing to say, and rational passers-by will like Cheng Xia even more."

Zhou Yan was stunned: "You mean to let the public opinion diverge, so we don't care?"

Pei Shaoze: "Yeah. This kind of speculative speculation will be suppressed by new gossip within three days. There is no need to clarify it. Cheng Xia's psychological endurance is not so fragile. Look at his new Weibo. Cheer yourself up, and don't give those black fans a look at all."

"..." That's right, she just swiped Cheng Xia's Weibo, and Cheng Xia didn't seem to be affected at all.There have been more than ten thousand comments on the latest Weibo, and many people called him "thick-skinned", but Cheng Xia ignored him.Zhou Yan's tangled mood finally relaxed: "I understand Mr. Pei, let the heat of this matter drop naturally, and I also believe that Cheng Xia will prove herself."

The evaluation of Cheng Xia on the Internet has reached the bottom. After the show is released, the word-of-mouth rebounds. become famous.

Zhou Yan prayed silently in her heart, Cheng Xia, we all have great confidence in you, and it will be up to you next.

***

Early the next morning, Cheng Xia arrived at the shooting location on time.

Everyone in the production team knew that Cheng Xia was scolded on the hot search last night, and some people were watching the show in secret. Except for a few who saw Cheng Xia's acting skills, the others really didn't understand why Director Zhu chose a newcomer, and even There are some voices of doubt within the crew.

However, Cheng Xia was full of energy and smiling, and greeted the staff politely along the way, not looking depressed at all.

Everyone was very puzzled - is this newcomer really heartless, or does he not know about the hot search at all?

The assistant director was worried that he would be affected, so he followed him all the way to the dressing room to comfort him: "Cheng Xia, many keyboard warriors on the Internet just take pleasure in cursing people, and it seems uncomfortable not to scold! You don't mind what they say, Director Zhu and I both think you are special." It is suitable for the role of Xu Ziyang."

Cheng Xia smiled and said, "Thank you, assistant director. Don't worry, I didn't take this matter to heart at all."

The boy's expression was frank, and he didn't look like he was pretending. The assistant director breathed a sigh of relief, patted him on the shoulder and said, "It's good that you can think that way." Many of the new actors I met before couldn't stand the attacks of netizens, It is rare for Cheng Xia to be so optimistic.

When Zhou Yan came in, she saw Cheng Xia talking and laughing with the assistant director. The atmosphere was quite relaxed. It seemed that Cheng Xia had adjusted her mentality.

After finishing makeup and hair styling, Zhou Yan brought Cheng Xia to the set.

There are several buildings in the film and television city that can be used to shoot gangster movies. Today, the production team put the words "Longhua City West District Public Security Bureau" on the door of one of the buildings-Longhua City is the location where the case of this drama took place.

The scene has already been set up, and the lighting and photography are all in place. Director Zhu waved to Cheng Xia: "Cheng Xia, come here, first review the script with Lao Liu."

Cheng Xia walked up to the actor playing Team Liu and said respectfully, "Senior, hello."

Liu Yuhang, a 45-year-old alpha male, plays the captain of the Criminal Police Brigade and Cheng Xia's immediate superior.He has an ordinary appearance and is not well-known in the entertainment industry, but his acting skills are very good, so he often plays important supporting roles in major production groups.

Seeing Cheng Xia approaching, he smiled and lit a cigarette, and said, "Call Captain Liu directly, there's no need to be so polite one by one senior."

His surname was Liu, and the captain he played happened to be surnamed Liu, so Cheng Xia called him Team Liu according to his meaning.

The two checked the script carefully several times. Liu Yuhang found that the young man in front of him was very powerful. He had memorized the script perfectly word for word. He had a much better impression of this serious newcomer, so he couldn't help but lead Cheng Xia into the play.

If Cheng Xia did something wrong in some places, Liu Yuhang would patiently teach him.

With seniors leading her, Cheng Xia quickly threw herself into the role.

After a while, the assistant director came over and called them, "How are you getting ready? The extras are already in place."

Liu Yuhang stubbed out the cigarette butt, and smiled heartily: "I'm fine, where's Cheng Xia?"

Cheng Xia said seriously: "I'm fine, I'll try my best to keep up with Team Liu later."

The assistant director brought them to the set, and Director Zhu shouted: "Every group is ready, the first act, start!"

Cheng Xia appeared alone in the camera.

In the first act, the scene where he came to report to the police force alone was played.The freshly graduated police cadet, wearing a clean white T and jeans, stood at the entrance of the solemn and solemn police station, looked up at the badge upstairs, with a slightly excited smile on his face, and then he quickly ran down the stairs Going up, he stopped slightly when he ran to the door, took a deep breath, tidied his clothes, and then walked into the building nervously.

A one-man show without lines, Cheng Xia's completion is not bad.

Director Zhu watched the replay, and said to Cheng Xia, "Again, pay attention to your steps when running, and don't rush your steps!"

Cheng Xia returned to her original position and started climbing the steps again.

Zhu Zheng said again: "There is no one around, just you, you can let go of your excitement."

Cheng Xia came back and ran again.

Director Zhu was very strict with each shot, and Cheng Xia ran back and forth five times before giving this scene.

Because of running back and forth, a thin layer of sweat oozes from his forehead, Zhou Yan hurriedly asked his assistant to wipe the sweat for him, Sister Rong asked with a smile: "After running back and forth five times, are you tired? Hurry up!" Drink some water."

Cheng Xia took a sip of the water she handed her, and said with a smile, "It's okay, I'm not tired."

The second act turned to the room, and Cheng Xia met the captain at the door, quickly put his legs together and stood at attention: "Hi, Captain Liu, I'm Xu Ziyang, police officer number 73508, come and report!"

When Xu Ziyang faced his superior, he looked serious and righteous, and his salute gesture was very standard.

Director Zhu shouted, called Cheng Xia and asked, "That's right. Cheng Xia, have you learned this salute before?"

"Yes, I went to the police academy once before, and the coach taught me." Cheng Xia cast his eyes on Pei Shaoze who was sitting next to the director, who nodded at him with admiration in his eyes, and Cheng Xia smiled at Pei Shaoze He expressed his gratitude, if Pei Shaoze hadn't brought him to the police academy, he would not have found the graduates of the police academy so quickly.

The next few scenes went off without a hitch.

Cheng Xia entered the drama very quickly, as if he had become Xu Ziyang who had just graduated from the police academy. He reported to the police force on the first day. He was full of curiosity about the criminal police team and full of confidence in his future career. He felt that he would definitely He can follow the captain to solve unsolved cases and catch criminals, so he is smiling most of the time—the young man's smile is bright and bright, and his whole body is full of youthful vigor.

When receiving the police uniform handed to him by the captain himself, Cheng Xia stood upright, carefully took the clothes from the opponent's hand with a serious expression, and touched the straight collar of the police uniform with gentle and reverent fingers, finally resting on the collar of the shoulder. On the police badge, his gaze was serious.

Director Zhu likes this detail very much.Especially Cheng Xia looked at the police uniform with excitement and joy in his eyes, as if seeing a long-awaited treasure.Not daring to get it dirty, so with a bit of caution, very much in line with the mentality of police academy graduates when they first get their official uniforms.

It is impossible for the screenwriter to write all the movements of touching the nose and scratching the head in the script. Actors often need to perform on the spot by themselves. These details in eyes and movements are the "aura" of an actor.

An actor with aura does not need to be taught by the director, but can understand how to act by himself.

Cheng Xia is undoubtedly a newcomer with both talent and aura online, and he is willing to work hard, and he can memorize his lines fluently. Director Zhu thought it would take a long time to teach Xia today before he could get into the role. Unexpectedly, Cheng Xia's performance on the first day far exceeded his expectations .

Looking at the admiration in Director Zhu's eyes, Pei Shaoze couldn't help asking: "Director Zhu, is our Cheng Xia's performance okay?"

Director Zhu nodded with a smile: "It's really good, his performance pays attention to details."

"Next, I don't have much time to talk to the team, so Cheng Xia will ask Director Zhu." Pei Shaoze looked at Director Zhu with a serious expression: "Today's scenes don't need explosive power, and it's easy for Cheng Xia to control. I think After writing the script, there will be some emotionally intense scenes later, Cheng Xia has no experience, and if his performance is not good, then I will ask Director Zhu to guide him more. After all, you are a professional director, and your understanding of acting must be much better than Cheng Xia. "

Zhu Zheng understood what Pei Shaoze meant—he wanted him to teach Cheng Xia more experience, so that Cheng Xia's performance in the play would be more perfect, and Cheng Xia's acting skills would also be improved by the way.Directors and actors have a "mutual achievement" relationship.Boss Pei asked Zhu Zheng to be Cheng Xia's teacher. Zhu Zheng also liked rookies who were talented and willing to work hard, so he readily accepted it: "Don't worry, of course I'm willing to take such a good seed."

Pei Shaoze nodded: "Well, I'll go back to Rongcheng tomorrow, and I'll send an assistant to follow up on the crew. If Director Zhu encounters any problems that are difficult to solve, you can contact me directly."

Few of the producers would stay on the set the whole time. Pei Shaoze has been really busy recently. He planned to put Pei Shaoyan in the crew to study and watch Gu Chengxia by the way.Pei Shaoyan knew how important Cheng Xia was to his brother, and if anything happened to Cheng Xia, he would be able to tell him in time.

Pei Shaoze, an extra performer of this crew, has checked, and the background is fine.In addition, his manager and younger brother are both on the set, so he can rest assured of Cheng Xia's safety.

***

That night, Pei Shaoze packed his luggage and sent a message to Cheng Xia: "Is there anyone in your room? I'll come over and talk to you."

Cheng Xia hurriedly replied: "No one. Wait until I go out to investigate. If there is no one in the corridor, you can come over."

Cheng Xia opened the door, looked around, and found that there was no one in the corridor, so she sent a message to Pei Shaoze: "It's safe, we can dispatch!"

There is a corner between Pei Shaoze's room and Cheng Xia's.

Within half a minute, Cheng Xia saw Pei Shaoze's figure, he hurriedly pulled Pei Shaoze into the room, and quickly closed the door.

Seeing that the little guy was as cautious as a thief, Pei Shaoze couldn't help coughing lightly: "Is this an underground relationship with us?"

Cheng Xia nodded: "Forget it? You come to my place, and I will investigate. When I get to your room, don't you also go out to investigate?"

Indeed, both of them were thinking about each other, worried about being found out and causing trouble.

Pei Shaoze thought, when Cheng Xia becomes famous one day, and his acting skills and strength are recognized by the public, he will announce to the world that Cheng Xia is the person he loves most in his heart, and the person he wants to protect for the rest of his life.

Now, the two can only meet secretly like this.

Pei Shaoze pulled Cheng Xia to sit by the bed, held his hand lightly, and said in a low voice, "I'm here to say goodbye to you, the flight back to Rongcheng at 05:30 tomorrow morning, and I'm going to the airport at [-]:[-]. I didn't want to wake you up early in the morning, so I came here to tell you."

Cheng Xia was startled: "Are you going back so soon?"

Pei Shaoze: "Well, the post-production of folding paper is about to be completed. I have to submit it for review, schedule, and discuss the split mode with the video site. I will be very busy next, and I may not have much time to come to the crew to see you."

Cheng Xia smiled considerately and said, "It's okay, go get busy, I will also take this drama seriously. We work together to make the future better, and I understand it!"

Pei Shaoze stretched out his hand and rubbed his head: "It's good to understand. I also hope that your efforts will be recognized. Folding paper is your first work. I have to choose the broadcast platform carefully."

The boy suddenly hugged Pei Shaoze's waist, buried his head in the man's arms, and whispered, "Let me hug you."

He was indeed like a docile cat in front of Pei Shaoze, the little tiger's claws that had pissed off the reporter yesterday had been completely put away.

Pei Shaoze's heart softened in an instant, and he hugged the young man tightly, his voice was extremely gentle: "Are you... acting like a baby?"

Cheng Xia blushed, and whispered, "Can't you? You're leaving, and I won't see you for a long time, so I just want to hug you for a while."

Pei Shaoze: "..."

How can there be such a straightforward and cute little guy?

Pei Shaoze simply raised Cheng Xia's chin, leaned over and said in a low voice, "Why don't you kiss me a little longer?"

Cheng Xia: "..."

When the gentle kiss fell, Cheng Xia tremblingly closed her eyes, opened her mouth and began to respond shyly.

Although his lips were red and swollen after being kissed yesterday, he told Pei Shaoze to be careful in the future, but today, Pei Shaoze is about to leave the film crew, and the next time we meet is unknown, so... just let Alpha kiss for a while.

He also wanted to be more intimate with Pei Ge for a while.

The two lingered in the room for a long time, and Cheng Xia boldly kissed back once.

Pei Shaoze was dizzy from being teased by the youthful kiss, his back was stiff, and he almost couldn't hold it...

Considering that Cheng Xia will be filming tomorrow, the two forcefully regained their sanity.

The temperature in the room continued to rise. After the two separated, their lips seemed to be scalded, and their heartbeats were ridiculously fast.

Pei Shaoze took a deep breath to calm down, gently wiped Cheng Xia's lips with his thumb, and said in a low voice, "Take care of yourself, you know?"

Cheng Xia seriously warned: "You too. Don't work too hard, don't work overtime and stay up late. Also, don't drink too much alcohol when you go out to socialize! Drinking too much will hurt your stomach. When the time comes, you will use the excuse that you just took a cephalosporin to catch a cold." medicine, they won’t toast you again.”

Pei Shaoze nodded with a light smile: "Okay, I'll make a note."

The feeling of being cared for by the little guy is really warm.
