A Lonely Tree Becomes a Forest

This urgency left Wei Xiaolin with no time to delve into its causes and consequences. It was already very difficult for him to suppress himself and run to the window to see where Chen Rui was going. Wei Xiaolin lay on the bed tossing and turning, ears pricked Listening to the movement outside the door, the sound of the elevator going up and down could be heard very clearly in the middle of the night, Wei Xiaolin thought to himself, probably Chen Rui has already gone downstairs by now.

The whole night, Wei Xiaolin tossed and turned, and when he fell asleep, he would always think about where Chen Rui went and what he did that night.

But after waking up, Wei Xiaolin didn't have to think hard. As soon as he opened his eyes and turned on his phone, he saw the headline push: "Actor Chen Ruimi will meet an unknown woman".

Wei Xiaolin opened the push page. In addition to the typical paparazzi gossip report language, there were also a few pictures that were not clearly taken.

The actor's fans were eager to clarify in the comments: "Can everyone stop listening to the wind and the rain, tweeting that the identity of the woman is unknown, and we also said that the identity of the man is also unknown. Mr. Chen is currently secretly recording the program, please look forward to the results." We can’t talk nonsense about the specific program that has a non-disclosure agreement, but media big Vs who talk nonsense will be prosecuted if they spread the rumor 500 times.”

While watching, the doorbell rang, and when Wei Xiaolin went out to open the door, the door had already been opened by Bai Yang.Chen Rui stood at the door, holding large and small lunch boxes in his hands, as if he had just come back from morning exercise, he handed the lunch box in his hand to Bai Yang, and said, "I went downstairs to exercise, and bought breakfast by the way, I don't know Whatever you like to eat, I'll buy some of each and eat it while it's hot."

Bai Yang was overjoyed and said, "Wow! Teacher Chen, you got up too early!"

Chen Rui said with a smile: "It's a habit to get up early and practice morning exercises. Besides, if you get up early and go out to breathe fresh air, you will be in good shape throughout the day."

There was nothing unusual in his expression and tone, as if he really stayed overnight in the dormitory, and then got up early and just returned from morning exercises.At this moment, Wei Xiaolin really realized what acting like a movie star is. He didn't even blink his eyes when he told a lie. If Wei Xiaolin hadn't known that he had left overnight, he might feel that the person photographed online wasn't him at all. .

Everyone sat at the dining table peacefully and opened the breakfast brought back by Chen Rui.He was right. There was a table full of all kinds of breakfasts, and the atmosphere of the show was very good from the very beginning of the morning.

After Chen Rui finished his breakfast, he completed several links according to the program group's settings, and it was almost time for him to leave.Before leaving, Chen Rui generously expressed that he wanted to give everyone a hug. When he hugged Wei Xiaolin, Chen Rui seemed as if nothing happened yesterday. Without leaving a glance, he left their apartment.

The difference in attitudes before and after is so obvious, but the difference is only one night. Wei Xiaolin feels even more disheartened when he thinks about the incident of Chen Rui being photographed on the Internet.He was not in a good state during the whole day of recording, but when he was sitting in a chair in a daze, he suddenly thought of Chen Rui's performance in the morning.

He brought breakfast so graciously, pretending to be returning from morning exercise, is it really because he wants to impress the members?Couldn't it be that he had seen what he was being filmed on, so he used the footage of their show to clear his name?

Thinking of this, Wei Xiaolin felt even colder. He thought disheartenedly, those ambiguous side-kicks with Chen Rui should be regarded as a dream, and he would never want to be teased so foolishly again.

Two weeks after the recording of the group show, the company first released the rough-cut first episode to test the waters. I don’t know if they finally waited for the time, or the quality of the program is really good. In short, this clip has received a lot of attention since it was released. Wei Xiaolin The scene of solving math problems for Ke Xing became even more famous, and was cut into clips by the marketing account to spread - "Sexy idol group, teaching online geometry."

With the foundation of praise, the company began to edit and promote the group. The official program was broadcast on the Friday of the third week after recording. The hot search list, topic list, and major marketing accounts were linked with major forums. The popularity is sufficient, the program itself is also interesting enough, and there is already a certain fan base spreading. Once the program is launched, it has attracted a lot of attention.

On the day when the show premiered, they stayed in the dormitory and watched the first episode together. Although they didn’t feel it when recording, after the production and editing of the program group, the four boys’ cohabitation life was really trivial but interesting. The first episode The program is 45 minutes long, neither too long nor too short.Exit the playback interface to refresh the data, and there are already more than 500 million views. Although it is not comparable to the popular variety shows, as a new idol group, such data is really good.

The second day after the show was broadcast, the long-lasting and far-reaching impact of the variety show was truly revealed. Early the next morning, the number of broadcasts exceeded 1000 million, and each of them also started a large number of fans.

Ah Mai told Wei Xiaolin privately that although he performed well in the group show, it was actually because of his luck. In fact, he had very few shots, and almost no solo parts, which made him more in the subsequent recordings. Focus on facing the camera.

Wei Xiaolin doesn't like Ah Mai's statement very much. Of course, he also finds that he has fewer solo shots than his teammates, but he knows why. He is the captain. When the team members have any problems, they always involuntarily call for help and report to him, the captain first. .He is interspersed in the shots of all the members, there is no need to fight for the shots in order to express himself.

What's more, Wei Xiaolin's position is the captain + appearance. The members of the team have their own strengths in singing and dancing, and he doesn't stand out in any of them. As an airborne soldier, the training time is short, so what can he do to compete with everyone for the camera?

He couldn't say this to A Mai, so he had to say a few perfunctory words casually to dispel him.Ah Mai is obviously not happy. After Wei Xiaolin joined the group and debuted, he advised Wei Xiaolin several times, but Wei Xiaolin always didn't appreciate it. Ah Mai didn't want to spend his heart and soul with Wei Xiaolin, who didn't know whether he was a real gentleman or a fake virgin. .

Tuanzong broadcasts three episodes a week. After the content of the three episodes is finished for a week, when the recording reaches the last week, it happens to be the episode that Chen Rui came to.Chen Rui, as a mysterious guest, once again brought great attention to the group, showing the strong appeal of the actor.

But at the same time, the shortcomings of the actor's presence are also highlighted. The variety shows that Chen Rui participates in are few but excellent. Unless they are simulcast on the Internet, the shabby Internet variety shows will not be able to invite a Buddha like him.But FOREST, as a little-known rookie group, was able to invite the actor, even if there is a reason for the spokesperson, it is still unconvincing.

Coupled with the various preferential treatment they enjoyed before they were popular, rumors have spread outside, saying that FOREST has a strong background and a fierce top position, which is not comparable to that of the boy groups of the same period.In short, it is necessary to establish FOREST as a public enemy.This move not only caused controversy for FOREST, but also attracted more topics. The name of FOREST immediately entered the public eye in a short period of time, and truly became a dark horse of the idol boy group.

The company finally found the right way to support people, and immediately struck while the iron was hot, and arranged for them to shoot the new song MV after the recording of the group performance was over.

The group received a good response and the effect was good, and the initial investment was quickly recouped, so the company was even more willing to spend money, and hired a well-known director An Zhenhe for them.Everyone commented that Guanghe Entertainment is building a boy group according to the momentum of the Golden Melody Awards.

But in any case, the attention that the company wanted has really been achieved, the fans of the group members are increasing rapidly, and the cooperation with them has also increased.

Of course Wei Xiaolin was also very happy to hear the news. After much deliberation, he still couldn't hold back and sent a message to Chen Rui, telling him about it.Chen Rui has ignored him for a while. Although Wei Xiaolin has never talked about love or love, he still has basic courtesy, righteousness and shame. If Chen Rui ignores him, he will not harass Chen Rui madly.It's just that this incident made him so happy that he had no one to share it with, so he had to tell Chen Rui.

Wei Xiaolin comforted himself like this in his heart, it seemed a bit deliberate, but it could also convince his heart.

The company is picky and cherishes feathers. The company usually refuses the invitation of ordinary third-rate small brands to stand on the platform.

Even so, Wei Xiaolin and the others still had to take on countless jobs a day. Sometimes an interview would end here, and a shoot would follow up there. The MV had been decided early on, but it took a week before they were free.

On the day when I got the news that the filming was confirmed, Chen Rui, who hadn’t been in touch for a long time, finally replied to Wei Xiaolin: "Really? Director An is very thoughtful, and I can learn a lot from him. After the filming starts, I will find time to visit the set."

Those who are familiar with Chen Rui's acting history will know that Chen Rui and An Zhenhe are both outstanding students who graduated from the Film Academy, but they have never worked together.If Wei Xiaolin was a little vigilant or sensitive, he would take the initiative to investigate why he had never cooperated before, and Chen Rui could also know that An Zhenhe had great ideas.But this time, the busy schedule could no longer make Wei Xiaolin sad for Chen Rui.

He still remembers himself after Chen Rui finished recording the group performances. Once he held his mobile phone and recalled the chat records between the two, he couldn't help sending a message to Chen Rui, politely asking him when Mr. Chen was busy. What.But after posting, Wei Xiaolin felt regretful and hastily withdrew the message.

The traces left by the withdrawal of the message were so deliberate that it was impossible for Chen Rui not to see it, but there was no response. Wei Xiaolin was very sad for a while.But now he himself is also busy, sometimes he can't even look at his mobile phone for a day, and sometimes he finishes work early and returns to the dormitory, and can fall asleep with his eyes closed. Those seemingly approaching things are now very far away for him.

Wei Xiaolin received Chen Rui's response again. Although his heart was still fluctuating, he calmed down a little. He replied politely: "Mr. Chen, I didn't mean that. Don't bother you."

This proves a truth that in the entertainment circle, except for the big seniors who are already at the top, there are only young soldiers who have not yet made their debut. Young idols like them who are on the rise in their careers are not worthy of having a thinking career. Chances for anything other than that.

An Zhenhe is Wei Xiaolin's senior brother. He graduated from the directing department of a serious film academy. His graduation works were submitted to overseas college student film festivals. A director with high momentum among the new generation of directors.

The new generation of directors is just a self-effacement in the film industry. In fact, An Zhenhe already has a lot of wrists. This time, he probably used the relationship of the boss, Mr. Qin, to invite him.

When Wei Xiaolin and the others rushed to the shooting scene, An Zhenhe had already arrived, and he arrived later than the director. Wei Xiaolin and the others broke out in a cold sweat before the shooting started.But An Zhenhe didn't care, he waved his hands and told them: "Don't be so tied up, this is my set and your set, I'm used to coming early to survey the site, you just start working on schedule."

The well-known director was so kind, everyone's hearts were slightly put back in their stomachs, and the filming started according to the pre-scripted settings.

The MV song is about a group of young boys who are facing the confusion and difficulties of growing up. This kind of theme has long been filmed badly. But I have never had any contact with the members.The filming started today, and after contacting the members, An Zhenhe felt that it was inappropriate after taking a few shots, so he announced a stoppage on the spot and began to revise the script.

The director yelled to stop, and the set was very quiet. No one dared to disturb the director's re-creation, but the commotion at the entrance of the set could not be ignored.

Wei Xiaolin couldn't help but turned his head and glanced at the entrance of the studio. From a distance, he saw a person approaching surrounded by the crowd, met Wei Xiaolin's gaze, and that person blinked with a cynical and suave look.

Wei Xiaolin hadn't seen Chen Rui for a long time, and being teased by him like this, he hurriedly turned his face and continued to stare at Anzhenhe.

Chen Rui walked up a few steps, not surprised and said: "Why, the artist stopped work and changed the script now? Do you want me to help, play a guest role or something?"
