[Urban Spirituality] Heaven's Way

Because Zuo Mu told everyone about filming before, although he just mentioned it casually, after all, many guests remembered it. When the production crew arrived at nine o’clock, Zuo’s noodle shop had already surrounded some customers. Although there were not many, they still blocked the road In a circle, in the northern winter, it is still very cold at nine o'clock, and there are almost no people in the lotus alley, so the crowd outside the Zuojia noodle restaurant is particularly eye-catching.

Zuo Mu told everyone that the noodle restaurant could not open today because the film crew came to film, but because everyone waited so hard, Zuo Mu made a big pot of soup in the kitchen, one bowl for each person.

When the crew arrived, Zuo Mu was delivering soup to the onlookers. When Zeng Xiaofan saw Zuo Mu, he was overjoyed, "I haven't eaten yet, it smells so good, Xiao Mu, bring me a bowl."

"Okay! You have to wait, I have other guests here." Zuo Mu replied with a smile, and handed the soup to a reporter who seemed to be collecting news. The reporter smiled gratefully. Not too long after Yan Shanshan had run away, the reporter came, shivering in the cold wind, and was too embarrassed to enter the store.

Most of the crew did not know Zuo Mu. Seeing Director Zeng Xiaofan calling Zuo Mu’s name so affectionately, they were taken aback. After looking Zuo Mu up and down, the crew members were a little surprised. There was no snack nearby, and Zuo Mu’s appearance was attractive enough Everyone's eyeballs.

Someone asked, "Director Zeng, this is..."

Zeng Xiaofan raised his chin, "The little owner of the Zuojia noodle restaurant, the cooking skills are superb!"

The crew immediately remembered that some time ago, it was widely rumored on the Internet that Director Zeng loved to eat noodles from a noodle restaurant. It seems that this is the place. Is it so delicious?Everyone was puzzled, thinking that they must come to try the noodles that Director Zeng thought was delicious.

This is the celebrity effect, and it is also the reason why Zuo Mu made friends with Zeng Xiaofan. Zeng Xiaofan can attract so many customers to his family with a single word. And the scenes that will all go into his pocket.The immortals in the world also need to spend money!

Since the crew was preparing, Zuo Mu chatted with Zeng Xiaofan. The more Zeng Xiaofan talked to Zuo Mu, the more he felt that this young man had a lot of content in his stomach. Logically speaking, Zuo Mu should be in college when he was young. At first, Zeng Xiaofan thought Zuo Mu was The family conditions are difficult, so I came out early to open the shop, but later realized that if you can open a shop in Hehua Lane, your family will not be poor. After talking with Zuo Mu a few times, Zeng Xiaofan can tell that this Zuo Mu's background must be very unusual No matter what he says, Zuo Mu can pick up, and he is clear and straight. Director Zeng likes traditional Chinese culture very much, but the current actors cannot be said to be low-educated. Although they are from majors, they know more about traditional Chinese culture Older and younger, the ancient poems know "the moonlight in front of the bed" and "how many flowers fall". If you ask Song Ci, you will not be able to respond. It is already very good to read all the famous works.

Zeng Xiaofan felt that young people nowadays are very impetuous in their studies, and there are fewer and fewer young actors who are dedicated to their work, but seeing Director Zuo Mu, he felt that this young man was very unusual. How much ink, deliberately talking about some very unpopular knowledge, did not expect that no matter how unpopular, Zuo Mu can say one, two, three, some even Director Zeng didn't know, Zuo Mu's expression did not seem to be talking nonsense, So Director Zeng took a pen from his pocket and wrote down what Zuo Mu said.

Even chatting and learning, Zuo Mu really found that Director Zeng was not only lucky, but also hardworking. Sure enough, no one can succeed casually. Seeing Director Zeng, Zuo Mu suddenly thought of oranges and dumplings. These two little ghosts were taught by himself, and their level is obviously not as good as that of an ordinary person. Zuo Mu thought about it, how could he be compared by an ordinary person as his disciples.

From there, Zuo Mu and Director Zeng talked in full swing. At the beginning, there were people listening in. Later, they found that the topics the two of them were talking about were too profound and they couldn't get in the way. So everyone went to do what they should do, but for this guy called Zuo Mu The young man is a little more curious. Is such a person really just a small noodle shop owner?

While chatting, Zuo Mu didn't forget Xu Lei. Xu Lei was always standing in a corner like a log, but his eyes didn't lock a little bit. Instead, he looked around in the crowd. Zuo Mu looked at Xu Lei who was clearly out of shape. , shook his head, such a person is actually from the acting department, really, I don’t know how this kid got in.

Zuo Mu felt that if he was himself, he would definitely seize this opportunity, get close to the crew, and get acquainted with each other. His own conditions are not very good, so he must work hard the day after tomorrow, but this Xu Lei is not, but waits. Others took the initiative to talk to him.

Such a person is really not suitable for the entertainment industry.

Zuo Mu once again commented on Xu Lei from the bottom of his heart, but after all, Zuo Mu brought him here. Zuo Mu had already said so, so he couldn't leave him alone, so Zuo Mu said to Zeng Xiaofan, "Director Zeng, see that boy Hey, it's one of my customers, it seems to be from the performance department of the Academy of Arts, can you take a look."

Zuo Mu didn't deliberately lower his voice, Xu Lei also heard these words, he has been standing not far from Zuo Mu, of course he knows Zeng Xiaofan, director Zeng, and even many people in the crew, but just He knew people, they didn't know him, and he stood there a little bewildered, feeling like a fool, not knowing what to do.

He was not good at words, he didn't have many friends, Yan Shanshan helped him deal with many relationships, Xu Lei suddenly regretted not keeping Yan Shanshan, if Shanshan was here, he would not be so embarrassed.

Zeng Xiaofan noticed Xu Lei from the very beginning, and there was a handsome boy standing next to Zuo Mu, before Zuo Mu introduced Xu Lei, even before Zuo Mu talked to Zeng Xiaofan, Zeng Xiaofan had already put Xu Lei up and down After looking it up again, he thought at first that the child was Zuo Mu's relative or friend, but compared with Xiao Shi, Director Zeng found that Zuo Mu and this boy were not familiar, so he didn't ask much, and Zuo Mu said it Only then did Zeng Xiaofan realize that he was just a familiar customer.

Zeng Xiaofan shook his head secretly. Although his reputation is not as good as the top directors in the country, his reputation is still top-notch. Many actors have no time to fawn on him. When this boy saw him, he was dumbfounded, and finally lost his mind. yes……

This is a simple and down-to-earth child, but he is also too down-to-earth. A down-to-earth child is really not suitable for the entertainment industry.

Director Zeng unexpectedly made the same evaluation as Zuo Mu.

After a while, the crew packed up their things, and then a staff member, a man who looked like Zeng Xiaofan's assistant, came over and said, "Director, Ye Yiqing is stuck in traffic on the road, it's estimated to be an hour late."

Hearing Ye Yiqing's name, the surrounding crowd started to discuss, Zuo Mu noticed that Xu Lei's eyes lit up, and Zeng Xiaofan's face obviously sank when he heard the assistant's words.

"Didn't you tell her to come early today? Who notified her?" Director Zeng asked in a low voice, with obvious displeasure in his tone.

The assistant was a little embarrassed, and said: "Director Zeng, when I informed her yesterday, he said it was 08:30, who knew that Ye Yiqing's car would be stuck in such a long time." The assistant said with a bitter face.

Maybe the assistant was unintentional, but when he heard the assistant's words, Zeng Xiaofan's expression became even more unhappy.

He waved his hand to let the assistant leave, and complained in a low voice: "It's not your wrist, how dare you be so late..." In fact, Zeng Xiaofan was talking to himself, but Zuo Mu's ears are too sharp, and nothing can escape him ear, Zuo Mu shook his head, this Ye Yiqing must have been in some trouble recently, Zeng Xiaofan seemed unhappy.

A big director like Zeng Xiaofan has experienced a lot, and he still can’t tell whether it’s a real traffic jam or a fake one. Obviously, Ye Yiqing thinks she’s a trickster and wants to play big names, but Zeng Xiaofan doesn’t like this .

Zeng Xiaofan raised his head and said to Zuo Mu: "Xiao Mu, I'm going to work first." Director Zeng smiled and said to the director of the crew: "Prepare for 10 minutes, start shooting."

Someone in the crew was in a dilemma: "Director, Ye Yiqing hasn't come yet..." The rivalry scene is difficult.

The young actor who played with Ye Yiqing also showed a troubled expression, Director Zeng sneered: "You can shoot alone, if you can't shoot, don't waste everyone's time."

This means that there is no need for rival scenes, the cameraman shoots the actors one by one, and later edits to combine the two scenes together.

Gestures against the air alone, although it is a test of acting skills, but there is no way to do it. Although the young actor who acted with Ye Yiqing is not well-known, he has also acted in many plays. He is from a professional class. She knows this is an opportunity. , so nodded and agreed.

Zuo Mu found it very novel. It was really interesting for a person to make gestures in the air and show emotion.

The onlookers didn't see Ye Yiqing, but they saw the filming process of the crew, and everyone felt that the trip was worthwhile.

With the filming, Zeng Xiaofan gradually entered the working state, and everyone devoted themselves to the work seriously. No one mentioned Ye Yiqing's matter, as if he had forgotten about this person. When it came to her scene, everyone was very direct skipped.

At noon, when it was time to eat, Ye Yiqing came late. At this time, many people who came to Ye Yiqing had already left, and the production crew also rested. Director Zeng yelled about eating noodles, so the large production crew, No one ate box lunch, and everyone went to Zuo Mu's noodle shop to eat noodles.

On the second day of the Lunar New Year, there were still very few people in the whole lotus alley. After watching for so long, everyone did not wait for Ye Yiqing, but the actors who filmed the film were also familiar faces in the movie. Everyone knew the name of the director Zeng Xiaofan, so it was fun to watch. Except for some visiting reporters, the crowd of onlookers also gradually left.

So when Ye Yiqing's car appeared outside the Zuojia noodle shop, everyone was stunned. Obviously, after the whole morning of filming, everyone had forgotten that there was such a person.

The crew first filmed the location in Hehua Lane. It was cold outside for three hours. It was already winter, but the filming scene was in spring. The actors wore not thick clothes, and the snot came out from the cold, and they still had to act happy. look.

Because there is no actor in the opposite role, the other party can only make gestures against the air by himself. It is inevitable that the relationship will not be in place, or the acting will be unnatural, and he will be stuck several times.

Although everyone didn't say anything, in fact, they all blamed Ye Yiqing in their hearts. If it wasn't for her, the shooting progress wouldn't be so slow.

So when Ye Yiqing came out of the nanny's car with a smile on her face, everyone in the crew was stunned, staring at her blankly, without saying a word, Director Zeng pretended not to see him, and exchanged greetings with Zuo Mu, Zuo Mu also met Ye Yiqing, and they talked to each other. No matter what the outside world says, Zuo Mu thinks that Ye Yiqing is just an ordinary little girl. She debuted too early and became popular too fast. early teens.

Director Zeng didn't even look at Ye Yiqing, but said to the crew members who fell silent: "Why don't you talk, what's the matter?!"

After finishing speaking, I happily continued to talk to Zuo Mu. The director had already spoken, and the crew knew what to do. The most indispensable thing in the entertainment industry is people who wear small shoes, so what should the crew do, what should they say, everyone They didn't mean to talk to Ye Yiqing, as if she was a transparent person.

Ye Yiqing, who had been popular for too long and praised by others for too long, was stunned. Obviously, she had forgotten that when she was taunted and treated coldly as a sideshow in the past, this young "goddess of otaku" immediately blushed.

Zeng Xiaofan said slowly to Zuo Mu: "Actually, actors and directors are just professions. They are no different from opening a shop. You have to pay by the hour. Our industry also pays by the hour. This is a job. If you This work has given other meanings, and it is boring to feel that there is something special about yourself.”

Although these words were addressed to Zuo Mu, they were obviously meant for Ye Yiqing and other actors present who had other thoughts. Zuo Mu felt that what Zeng Xiaofan said was very reasonable, but it was obvious that what he said made sense. It's not an occasion, and Ye Yiqing may not be able to listen to it right now.

It's not that you may not be able to listen to it, but you must not be able to listen to it, because Ye Yiqing burst into tears, not only crying, but also ran out directly.

What surprised Zuo Mu was that someone actually ran out with Ye Yiqing, and it was Xu Lei who followed Zuo Mu.

Zuo Mu stared at these changes dumbfounded. You, Xu Lei, have a girlfriend. You don't care if your girlfriend escapes. If a celebrity escapes, what are you comforting?

Zeng Xiaofan obviously also saw this scene, his face was as dark as Bao Gong's, the corners of Zuo Mu's mouth twitched, and he uttered two words: "Calm down."

Zeng Dao was so angry that he obviously didn't expect that someone would dare to shake his face. The other people in the noodle restaurant didn't dare to say a word. Zuo Mu was helpless, so he said to Zeng Xiaofan: "It's okay, there are reporters outside, she's crying because of it." You have done publicity, and the news will definitely be the headlines tomorrow."

Zeng Xiaofan laughed dryly, but until the evening, when the crew finished filming, his expression was not very good.

What surprised Zuo Mu was the next day, early the next morning, a completely strange girl got out of Zeng Xiaofan's nanny car, whom Zuo Mu had never seen before.

Zeng Xiaofan cheerfully brought the girl over. When the girl saw Zuo Mu, she probably didn't know Zuo Mu's identity and didn't know what to say, so she just closed her mouth and listened to what Director Zeng had to say.

Director Zeng patted the girl on the shoulder as if he didn't see the girl's expression, then walked up to Zuo Mu and said with a smile on his face, "Xiao Mu, it's normal that you don't pay attention to the entertainment industry and don't know her. Come, come, let me introduce you, Lin Xi, the actress of the last Golden Tripod Awards." Then Director Zeng said to the girl named Lin Xi with a smile, "This is my Wangnian friend, named Zuo Mu, and this noodle restaurant is him Yes, it is rare for young people to be so knowledgeable and stable."

Director Zeng's compliment was too great. The man named Lin Xi was stunned for a moment, and his eyes changed when he looked at Zuo Mu. How could Director Zeng's Wangnian friend be just a small owner of a noodle shop? Lin Xi said to Zuo Mu very modestly: " Hello, Mr. Zuo."

Zuo Mu said with a smile, "Hello, Miss Lin."

Seeing Lin Xi, the crew felt as if they had seen a ghost. It seemed that even the crew didn't know what was going on. After a while, Director Zeng announced the answer: "Miss Lin Xi squeezed out of her busy schedule to join the crew and serve as the director. The heroine of the play is welcome."

The crew members applauded, no one asked what happened to Ye Yiqing, the heroine was temporarily changed, and she was replaced by a actress-level figure, Lin Xi has much more wrists than Ye Yiqing, and the media's evaluation of Ye Yiqing is still a popular idol, but for Ye Yiqing Lin Xi, who is the same age, is the actress, and Lin Xi's box office appeal is far greater than Ye Yiqing.

Just because Ye Yiqing offended Director Zeng, Director Zeng directly changed the actors. Ye Yiqing is considered a master in China, so she changed as soon as she said it. The director who dared to change in front of the battle, it's nothing to change a supporting role.

Zuo Mu doesn't watch entertainment news, so he doesn't know what kind of disturbance Zeng Xiaofan's temporary change of starring role has caused in the entertainment news. On the second day, the front page news of major newspapers and TV networks is at this time, and the headlines are more eye-catching than the other, "Zeng Xiaofan Changing generals when directing a new drama, Jinding actress takes the lead", "Ye Yiqing used to play a big name and the director didn't buy it", "Jinding actress has both talents and virtues and beat Ye Yiqing"...

Negative news about Ye Yiqing came all over the place. The big-name thing had a very bad influence on her. Zeng Xiaofan did a great job. He didn't even use his own relationship. He just talked about it, and the trend of the entertainment industry changed. , the former "pure jade girl" has become "pure 'desire' girl", the media has changed from affirmation to ridicule, and Ye Yiqing is playing big names everywhere, making the supporting actors and drama crew wait for three hours in the cold wind news.

Even Dumpling Chengzi knew about this and pointed to the poster and said to Snack Zuo Mu, "This woman is playing a big role, and now she is almost stinking shit", which shows that Ye Yiqing's negative image has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.

It's not easy to make an actor popular, because it needs the right time, place and people, but it's too easy to stink an actor, Ye Yiqing is already stink.

Zeng Xiaofan's new play was filmed in Hehua Lane for a week, and then moved to another place. Zuo Mu was helpless. After Xu Lei ran out with Ye Yiqing, he never came back. In a week, Zeng Xiaofan often joked about it. Zuo Mu.

Zeng Xiaofan changed to a queen-level actor, not to mention his famous acting skills, the shooting of the new film went very smoothly, obviously he has forgotten about Ye Yiqing, Ye Yiqing may not be worth mentioning in Zeng Xiaofan's heart.

After the crew left, the Zuojia noodle restaurant was open as usual. Xiaoshi knew that Zeng Xiaofan had left the Zuojia noodle restaurant. To celebrate, he didn't miss work for a week, which surprised some regular customers.

Gradually, Zuo Mu didn't remember anything about the crew. Sometimes he would call Director Zeng, and Director Zeng would also call Zuo Mu. The two talked about classical culture and antiques together. The director also suggested that Zuo Mu go to his house to see their collection.

At this time, Director Zeng had already regarded Zuo Mu as a friend, not just a good-looking young man.

To Zuo Mu's surprise, a month later, he would see Ye Yiqing again in his small noodle restaurant. The person who accompanied her was Yan Shanshan's real boyfriend, who was judged by Zuo Mu and Zeng Xiaofan as not suitable for the entertainment industry. Xu Lei.
