The population of the village is small, and young people are willing to go to big cities to try their luck, leaving behind only old people and children.It was very quiet along the way, and occasionally a few children in big padded jackets popped out their small heads and stared at Lu Xiumu with dribbling eyes.

The "office room" of the crew was chosen at the village head's house. The furnishings in the house were simple and bleak, and the main tool for lighting was the headlight brought by the camera.Jiang Bing and several actors sat curled up on a small horse, forming a circle, with an electric oven in the middle.

Jiang Bing waved to Lu Xiumu, beckoning him to come over, and then introduced the main actors of "The Wedding Banquet" to him.After exchanging pleasantries, Jiang Bing said, "Everyone come here! The answer will be in 5 minutes!"

Xiaowen was at a loss, and stuttered when he spoke: "Now, now?! Brother just arrived, don't you even have a break?"

He didn't deliberately suppress his voice when he spoke, and this complaint clearly reached the chief director's ears.

Jiang Bing glared at him angrily: "The filming will start tomorrow, how can I waste so much time for you!"

Xiaowen immediately frowned, he was really worried about Lu Xiumu's body, half of his life was about to be lost during this journey, and he didn't even give him a chance to catch his breath, so he was about to start working?

Lu Xiumu didn't complain, and patted Xiaowen on the shoulder: "I'm fine. You can take your luggage to the room first, thanks for your hard work."

"Brother—" Xiaowen frowned even deeper, and muttered in a low voice, "Brother Gao Xin will have to fire me if he finds out..."

Lu Xiumu narrowed his eyes mischievously: "Then don't let him know."

Xiaowen sighed, and the nerve of "wanting to resist" was slowly healed: "Okay..."

Listening to their conversation, Jiang Bing raised his hand and called the field manager: "I asked him to take you to the place where you live. You live with Meng Ting and the others."

"Ah?!" Xiaowen's mouth became a standard O shape.

"There is no guest house in the village, and the villagers spontaneously packed up a few houses as filming locations." Jiang Bing looked at Lu Xiumu and explained: "You and Meng Ting had the most rivalry scenes in the early stage, so you two can live directly in the 'home' in the play." , One is convenience, and the other is to connect emotions, get into the drama as soon as possible."

Lu Xiumu nodded, expressing his understanding.

But Xiaowen thought of something else, and hurriedly asked: "What about Qiu Yingdi?"

The male Omega and the female Beta living under the same roof are enough for Yuji to write a whole bunch of "scripts". If you add an Alpha...

Just thinking about it, Xiaowen shivered.

"What are you thinking about! We are a serious crew." Jiang Bing tapped Xiaowen's head with the script, "Xingfeng lives in the east of the village, far away from you."

He looked back and said to Lu Xiumu: "You didn't have any rivalry with him in the early stage. My suggestion is that you try not to meet each other."

Lu Xiumu asked, "Why?"

Director Jiang gave the omnipotent answer again: "Requirements for entering the play."

A few minutes later, the actors sat in a circle again, starting with Jiang Bing, followed by Qiu Xingfeng, Lu Xiumu, Chu Mengting, and two veteran actors who played Qi Yuan's parents in the play, and the middle Standing screenwriter Zhao Yang.

From a distance, I thought it was a game of "throwing the handkerchief" for "senior preschool children" team building.

Zhao Yang cleared his throat: "Now I will talk about the outline of the story of "The Wedding Banquet", and ask questions in time."

"This show is a fictional parallel world, there is no primary gender, only secondary." He rolled his eyes, "But this does not mean that gender is not important in this show. I hope everyone can forget The gap between pheromone and AO, follow the characters as much as possible to feel the collision of the second gender."

Seeing that everyone had no objection, Zhao Yang continued: "The story takes place in two small villages with backward feudalism and beliefs. There has always been a rumor between Sujia Village and Qijia Village that they need to get married every five years in order to 'get married'. Blessed by the God of Marriage. Xiao Su's older sister was originally the candidate for this marriage, but in an accident, her lower body was paralyzed and she lost her mobility and fertility, so Qi Yuan's family is planning to regret the marriage."

Zhao Yang's words were basically repeating the content of the first page of the script. Lu Xiumu knew the relationship between the characters as early as a few weeks ago, and he didn't find it novel at the moment, but something confused him for a long time.

He raised his head and looked at Zhao Yang: "Why did the Qi family say that they can regret the marriage? Could it be understood that in this marriage, the Qi family occupies a dominant position."

Zhao Yang smiled at him approvingly: "I knew you could discover the 'blind spots' of the script."

"There is a very important dark line in this story." He said, "Although the two villages believe in the same 'God', the status of Qijia Village is higher than that of Sujia Village."

He deliberately did not explain, as if waiting for a "rush answer".

Qiu Xingfeng recalled the content of the script and said: "Geographical location. Qijia Village is closer to the town, and it is more convenient to buy goods than Sujia Village. It is relatively richer. The economic level determines the social status."

"How do you know?" Lu Xiumu was surprised, "It wasn't written in the script."

"I have a scene where I go to the town to buy daily necessities." Qiu Xingfeng said.

"Yes." Chu Mengting answered, "He also bought me a necklace as a betrothal gift. It was an accident that happened the night I went to pick up the necklace."

"Did you have an accident because of this?" Lu Xiumu quickly flipped through the script, "Did you meet before getting engaged?"

"Of course." Qiu Xingfeng smiled, "Qi Yuan is very satisfied with Sister Su, otherwise he would not spend a lot of money to give her a necklace. If there is no accident, they will have a happy ending."

"Are you still laughing?!" Lu Xiumu subconsciously entered Xiaosu's state of mind, "My sister had an accident on the way to find you, and you turned around and divorced?"

"How should I put it, Qi Yuan in the early stage of the story is indeed immature, but his thoughts can also be understood." Qiu Xingfeng thought about his words, "I have lived in the same environment all my life, and I don't have any big ambitions. I just want to marry a A beautiful bride. He and Sister Su don't know much about each other. They can only judge whether they are satisfied with this marriage that is not controlled by their own consciousness from the appearance of the other party. It is because there is no emotional foundation, so Qi Yuan can easily carry on trade-off."

Lu Xiumu's shoulder blades straightened suddenly.

He has never read Qi Yuan's story line, and he has no idea that there is such a tortuous experience in his story.And Qi Yuan's behavior of "choosing a partner based on appearance" inadvertently pokes the deepest scar in Lu Xiumu's heart-the uncontrolled marriage between Qi Yuan and Sister Su seems to be a glimpse of reality.

He lowered his eyes and said unconsciously, "Even if there is no accident, they may not be happy."

"Huh?" Qiu Xingfeng didn't realize it, "Is it because he ended up with Xiaosu?"

"..." Lu Xiumu was completely stunned, and repeated uncertainly: "In your story line, are they...together?"

As soon as the words fell, several other actors looked over together.Chu Mengting directly turned to the last part of the script: "There is no doubt about this. Xiao Su and Qi Yuan are among the few good endings in Director Jiang's works."

Jiang Bing coughed lightly, attracting attention: "Xiu Mu's script is incomplete."

"My fault." Zhao Yang took the initiative to take the blame, "No.1 said that the workload of the script is too much, and it is really impossible to finish."

Lu Xiumu frowned quickly, and after receiving hints from the two big bosses, he followed their words: "No wonder I always feel that the story ends suddenly."

"Okay, let me continue with the outline of the story." Zhao Yang pulled the topic back, "In that era, future generations were a very important thing, so the two villages also acquiesced to this kind of behavior. It's just that everyone didn't expect it , On the night when the letter of repentance was drawn up, the wooden bridge connecting the two villages was suddenly broken by lightning, and when people were panicking, the marriage between the Su family and the Qi family was once again on the agenda."

"Although Xiao Su was worried that his sister would be bullied, he was powerless to resist, but he never thought that Qi Yuan's parents would propose to marry Xiao Su into the family. Compared with Sister Su who lost her mobility, the Qi family's parents would be more happy with a healthy limb 'Man and wife' come in." He paused, and looked at the two old actors, "But you are still very resistant to this marriage. This is what I just said, to feel the importance of the second gender."

Jiang Bing added: "Excluding the first gender, two people with the same second gender will never be able to conceive offspring. You can understand it as homosexuality. In the context of the story, this is an abnormal behavior."

The veteran actors nodded thoughtfully.

Zhao Yang: "After going through a series of resistance and escape, Xiao Su still did not escape the arrangement of fate and met his fiancé. Ironically, the two developed feelings for each other during the process of getting along. The final story was fixed at the wedding at the banquet."

Next, Director Jiang emphasized the key scenes again, leading everyone to correct the lines of several scenes.When it was dark, Jiang Bing finally stood up: "No problem, let's leave today."

Chu Mengting stretched her waist, and joked: "Before I read the script, I heard that the tone of "The Wedding Banquet" is very sad. I was worried for several days, but I didn't expect it to have a happy ending."

"This is just an illusion on the surface." Zhao Yang was dissatisfied with her statement, "Actually, except for Xiao Su and Qi Yuan, no other characters have been liberated. The Qi family has lost the opportunity to pass on the family line, which means that the Qi family's parents will live forever in the village. I can't hold my head up. But they took the village's "sense of honor" very seriously before, and they were proud of being selected for marriage, so they ran out of other villagers a lot. One can imagine what will happen to them in the future."

"And you." He pointed to Sister Su's character introduction, "You like Qi Yuan, and an accident made you disqualified from chasing love. It would be fine if Qi Yuan married someone irrelevant, but why? He married your younger brother. You must be madly jealous of your only relative, but you have to tell yourself that you can't do this, because you forced your younger brother to marry him in the first place."

Chu Mengting was still smiling: "It doesn't matter if I'm miserable, as long as the audience doesn't get abused. When watching movies or novels, the most fearful thing is that lovers can't be together."

"It's too simple." Jiang Bing hit the nail on the head, "The 'sorrow' of "The Wedding Banquet" comes from its 'joy'. Xiao Su is a person who wants to be free very much. His greatest wish is to live in the town, but But because he likes someone, he will be trapped in a cage forever, which itself is a tragedy for him."

"Looking at it this way, I'm the only one who can get what he wants." Qiu Xingfeng laughed, "Isn't this the compensation you gave me?"

"Otherwise?" Jiang Bing rolled his eyes at him, "The script itself was written for you, and I can't give you the whole story of dying."

"Thank you very much." Qiu Xingfeng replied angrily, and when he turned his head, he saw Lu Xiumu in a daze, "Teacher Lu? What are you thinking?"

Lu Xiumu was a little dazed, and stared blankly at Shangqiu Xingfeng: "I—"

He didn't continue, and hurriedly looked away: "I'm a little tired."

Qiu Xingfeng moved his lower lip. At the moment when his eyes met, he had a strange thought - he always felt that Lu Xiumu was not telling the truth, as if he was deliberately hiding something.

However, he couldn't help thinking about it, and Jiang Bing gave him a blow to the head: "Everyone pay attention, the filming will officially start tomorrow. Time is running out, we are divided into AB groups to shoot, A group shoots the story line of Sujia Village, B group shoots Qijia Village, Two weeks later, the AB group reunited. During this period, the two groups of actors were not allowed to meet in private, and devoted themselves to the role!"

Qiu Xingfeng: "..."

"No..." He was negotiating with Jiang Bing, "What kind of immoral rule is not allowed to meet? Teacher Lu and I have a relationship after that, we should get familiarized in advance—"

Jiang Bing ignored him at all, and waved his hand: "Disband!"

Lu Xiumu walked out along the crowd, and when he was about to go out, he was stopped by Jiang Bing again: "Xiu Mu stay here for a while."

Qiu Xingfeng stopped and looked back at them.

"Get out!" Jiang Bing coaxed impatiently.

After the "annoying spirit" finally left, Jiang Bing asked Lu Xiumu, "Do you know why I let you stay alone?"

Lu Xiumu was silent for a few seconds: "The content of my script is different from other people's."

"Yes." Zhao Yang handed him a character relationship map, "Although you are the second male protagonist, it can be said that Xiao Su's decision is promoting the development of the whole story. Let's take a look at this first."

Lu Xiumu scanned it quickly, and after seeing the single arrow between Qi Yuan and Xiao Su, he rolled down his throat with difficulty: "You——"

For a while, he wanted to say a lot, such as "What's the point of writing such a different script", and he also wanted to say "The Wedding Banquet is a complete tragedy", but in the end, he only said: "You should tell Qiu the ending. Teacher, this is not compensation for him at all, you are simply driving him to death."

"We forced Qi Yuan, not Qiu Xingfeng." Jiang Bing lit a cigarette and said calmly, "He is an excellent actor, capable of separating script and reality, and has the ability to self-regulate."

Lu Xiumu was suddenly a little angry, and said indiscriminately: "But last time he cooperated with you, and he hasn't played for a long time——"

"He is very satisfied with that work." Jiang Bing said, "Xingfeng clearly knows that cooperating with me is extremely risky, but he still chooses to participate in "The Wedding Banquet", which shows that he has made all the preparations. You really think he can't see it. Come out of the 'loophole' in the script?"

Lu Xiumu: "..."

"He just chooses not to watch it." Jiang Bing took a deep breath of cigarette, "He expects "The Wedding Banquet" to be a gift, so I prepared it for him. If you tell him the real ending, he won't be able to open it again. The excitement and anticipation when packing."

Lu Xiumu pursed his lips and remained silent for a long time.

Finally, Zhao Yang patted him on the shoulder and asked an irrelevant question: "Who do you think is the saddest person in "The Wedding Banquet"?"

Lu Xiumu: "...Qi Yuan."

Zhao Yang looked at him and smiled, his eyes stopped for a long, long time, as if looking through Lu Xiumu at a person who did not exist at all.He said: "I hope that you can still think like this on the day when it's finished."
