You're not planning to open at all, are you?

City D, the scene of the launching ceremony of "On Paper".

All the leading actors gathered together, and the filming crew took beer and spelled out the four characters of "Startup Daji", and lit incense on both sides, and director Meng Hezhi bowed respectfully to the Gongtai three times.

Bai Jiu and Ji Jiang stood at the front of the crowd, holding three sticks of incense in each hand, and bowed to the Gongtai.

Not far away are Wei Tianrui and Jian Cheng, and Xiao Li is standing beside Jian Cheng. After graduation, she formally applied to Bai Jiu's studio and became Bai Jiu's assistant.

Jian Cheng looked at the two leading actors, then at Wei Tianrui beside him, and said with a smile, "Why did you watch this movie with me?"

Wei Tianrui's expression was calm: "Mr. Ji said it, he said this movie is good, let me pay attention."

"Coincidentally," Jian Cheng said, "Bai Jiu also said the same, so it seems that these two have long intended to cooperate."

Bai Jiu and Ji Jiang have not had any activities for a whole year. They have completed all the credits in school, completed the graduation show with the fresh students, got their graduation certificates in advance, and then began to think about activities.

However, neither of them was in a hurry to accept endorsements or commercials, but calmed down and slowly picked the script. After all, it was the first work after graduation, and both of them were very cautious.

During this year, many notebooks were handed to the two of them intermittently, and some production teams were also very strong, but every time Jiancheng showed it to Bai Jiu, Bai Jiu didn't like it.

And looking at Bai Jiu's reaction, Jian Cheng even had the illusion that he could see the final quality and broadcasting effect of the show through the book.

It wasn't until Meng Hezhi started preparing for the new movie "On Paper", when Bai Jiu heard the news, he immediately asked Jian Cheng to find out about the recruitment situation of the lead actor.

At the same time, Ji Jiang also came into contact with Meng Hezhi almost at the same time. Meng Hezhi had worked with these two people before, and knew their characters and acting skills. cooperate.

But there is still a little risk: Jian Cheng looked at Bai Jiu who was walking towards him, and couldn't help asking him: "Do you all dare to take on this subject?"

"On Paper" is not an ordinary movie. There is a hidden love between the two male protagonists, but due to the constraints of their identities and circumstances, the two cannot help themselves and behave very restrained.

During this year, Jian Cheng also knew about Bai Jiu and Ji Jiang. When he first heard the topic of talking about war on paper, his first reaction was disbelief.

"Are you going to make it public?" Jian Cheng continued to ask.

Bai Jiu shook his head: "No, but this movie is really good, it's an award-winning movie."

"Even if you think it's good," Jian Cheng was still puzzled, "Would it be too risky? Do you know that male actors take on such subjects..."

"I know," Bai Jiu said, "it doesn't matter, and I really like men."

Jian Cheng paused, looked at Bai Jiu's expression, and could only nod: "...Okay, since you have decided."

Bai Jiu smiled and patted him on the shoulder: "Don't panic, the boat will be straight when it reaches the bridge, and there will be another village in the shadow of the willow."

"... These two sentences were not originally said together."

……

On the first day of the start-up, the production crew has already entered a busy working state. They have to shoot the first scene of the whole movie, which is also to let the two leading actors get familiar with the plot as soon as possible and find their feelings.

In this movie, the character played by Ji Jiang is named Fu Han, and the character played by Bai Jiu is named Yu Gui. The two met when they were young and studied at the same class. However, they are all for the purpose of defending the Liang Kingdom.

Today's filming is about the two being classmates in the academy. Meng Hezhi, who hasn't seen them for a year, is very enthusiastic and greets them through the camera.

"This time the look is better than "Ling Yun Zhi", very bookish, you two sit down, ready to start filming!"

Bai Jiu and Ji Jiang looked at each other, sat down at the same time, and started their first test shoot.

In the plot, Fu Han and Yu Gui are discussing this year's imperial examination.

"You want to take the martial arts exam?" Yu Gui shook his hand holding the book, looked up at him, puzzled, "Why?"

Fu Han answered him earnestly: "I know that my literary talents are limited, and I am far inferior to you in terms of strategy. Fortunately, I still have martial arts skills, and I can still kill the enemy and win the victory. And I followed my father to fight and go out since I was a child. I am used to seeing deserts and grasslands. , I would rather hold a spear and be loyal to the country."

"It's not wise for you to do this," Yu Gui sighed, "The Great Liang Kingdom values ​​culture over martial arts. If you choose this path, it may not be easy for you to go."

"What about you?" Fu Han smiled, "The son of Shangshu, he can't get an official position anywhere, so why do you want to take the exam with me?"

With a twist of Yu Gui's wrist, the book flew out of his hand, and landed firmly on the desk: "If you rely entirely on my father, wouldn't it appear that I am too incompetent?"

"Hahaha!" Fu Han smiled and said, "Then I wish the young master Yu the number one prize."

Yu Gui also looked at him: "I wish Fu Xiaohou, that you will be called king and marquis as soon as possible."

The two arched their hands at each other, then looked at each other and laughed.

After filming this scene, Meng Hezhi looked a little strange.

"Brother Meng, what's wrong?" Bai Jiu asked.

Meng Hezhi scratched his head: "You guys are in pretty good shape, and your lines are natural, but... what's wrong?"

"What's wrong?" The two said in unison.

Meng Hezhi thought for a while, then suddenly realized: "That's not right! Although the two of you here are classmates, they are just friends. Why are you two acting..."

He didn't say the latter words, but he was obviously saying that there seemed to be some vague ambiguity between the two of them.

Speaking of this, Meng Hezhi was suddenly a little moved again, and emphasized: "I know that the subject matter of this movie may be a bit challenging for the two of you. You don't have to work so hard, just act slowly, and it will naturally get better later on."

Bai Jiu and Ji Jiang looked at each other, both of them had the same doubt in their eyes: Acting too much?

So, this scene happened again, Bai Jiu sat a little further away this time, and he no longer habitually stared at Ji Jiang's eyes when speaking, his expression was much more restrained.

"Okay, very good," Meng Hezhi nodded with satisfaction, "It's over."

After the scene was filmed, both of them started laughing. While the staff was arranging the scene, Bai Jiu approached Ji Jiang and said softly, "Take control, best actor Ji."

Ji Jiang glanced at him quietly: "Your eyes don't seem to be restrained."

"Oh, there's no way." Bai Jiu stroked his hair, "I can't help it."

"..."

After all, the shooting of movies and TV dramas is different. Every shot has to be polished, and the angle, light, and atmosphere of the scene must be grasped just right, in order to shoot a satisfactory shot. Meng Hezhi has always been a strict person, and it is only the opening For several scenes, they abruptly filmed until the end of the night.

After the show ended, Meng Hezhi was very satisfied: "Come on! I have great expectations for this movie."

Ji Xia echoed in a low voice: "You probably didn't expect anything wrong."

"Be more confident and get rid of the high probability." Bai Jiu winked at him.

……

The two returned to the hotel, exchanged each other's room cards tacitly, then Ji Jiang put the things in his room, and went to find Bai Jiu when they went out.

As soon as he came in and closed the door of the room, Bai Jiu had already pounced on Ji Jiang.

"I haven't acted in a year, so cool!"

Ji Jiang caught him, picked him up and walked into the house: "You like this movie so much?"

"Of course," Bai Jiu said, "I watched it three times back then. I liked Yu Gui so much. I didn't expect that one day I would be able to play him myself."

While laughing, Ji Jiang buried his head on Bai Jiu's neck and rubbed it twice: "Aren't you afraid they will say us?"

"What are you afraid of?" Bai Jiu hooked his legs around Ji Jiang's waist, and the two looked at each other in an extremely intimate manner, "We are acting as a couple now, and we are aboveboard."

Thinking of Meng Hezhi's words during the day, Ji Jiang couldn't help laughing: "Director Meng said that the two of us acted too much."

"That can't be helped." Bai Jiu rubbed his chin against Ji Jiang's face, "Who made you look so good, I can't help but look at it."

"Does it look good?" Ji Jiang asked, "Is Fu Han good-looking, or me?"

"Isn't it all you?"

"It's different," Ji Jiang said, "Qi Nan and I are also different."

"Okay, okay, you look good, and Best Actor Ji is the prettiest."

……

Due to a bit of indulgence the night before, when shooting the next day, Bai Jiu had to pull up his collar and tie it tightly.

Meng Hezhi saw it, and said to him caringly: "It's hot, you don't need to wear such thick clothes, if you really can't, you can just wear one less layer."

"It's okay," Bai Jiu said with a smile, "I'm not afraid of heat, it's for the effect."

While talking, he glanced at Ji Jiang with a smile, and lowered his voice a little: "I don't think we should meet at night in the near future."

Ji Jiang blinked: "I'm sorry, I couldn't control it."

"..."

The scenes filmed today are separate. The two protagonists take a test of Wen Ju and the other test of martial arts.

Bai Jiu and Ji Jiang are in the same studio today, but in two studios.

Bai Jiu got up at five o'clock in the morning, because there were a lot of scenes today, he had to do styling early. When he woke up in the morning, Bai Jiu was still in bed for a long time, until Ji Jiang opened the door with his room card and called him up. I don't want to open my eyes yet.

"I'm too sleepy," Bai Jiu said, "I didn't sleep until one o'clock last night."

Ji Jiang felt a little distressed, but there was nothing he could do, so he had to pat him lightly: "Hey, come back to rest after filming early today, okay?"

"I know." Bai Jiu turned over and buried his face in the pillow, "Just one minute, I'll sleep for another minute."

Ji Jiang sat next to him and waited for him, and waited another 5 minutes before pushing him: "Good boy, get up."

Bai Jiu sat up sleepily, a little puzzled: "How does one minute go by so quickly?"

"..."

When the two of them arrived in the shed, they went to do the styling first. Bai Jiu changed his clothes and finished the styling. He turned his head and saw that Ji Sheng was putting on the wrist armor.

I have to say that Ji Jiang's suit is very good-looking, slim and dashing, which makes him look heroic, and his hair is also pulled into a ponytail. Bai Jiu glanced at it and was actually a little greedy.

Seeing that Ji Xiang couldn't buckle the armor with one hand, he simply got up and walked over: "I'll do it."

Ji Jiang also stretched out his hand, letting him take care of himself, while looking down at Bai Jiu.

Bai Jiu is dressed as a scholar today. The make-up artist knows how to highlight the advantages of the characters. He paints Bai Jiu's eyebrows and eyes very delicately. When he lowers his eyes, he looks gentle and quiet, reminiscent of those elegant gentlemen in ancient portraits.

Bai Jiu was lowering his head to tie the last rope when he suddenly heard someone say in his ear, "It's so beautiful."

He raised his eyes and glanced at Ji Jiang: "What's so good?"

Ji Xia smiled lowly: "You look good."

Bai Jiu also smiled: "You are not bad, too."

He tied the tether and patted Ji Jiang's arm: "Well, it's done."

Ji Jiang turned to leave, but Bai Jiu suddenly called him again: "Have you put on the knee pads?"

"It's on," Ji Jiang said, "Do you want to confirm it yourself?"

Bai Jiu's eyes swept down, deliberately swept from his knees to thighs, to his waist, then looked into Ji Jiang's eyes again, met his fiery eyes, and smiled slightly:

"No, I saw it last night."

When he spoke, he deliberately lowered his voice, as if he was afraid that others would hear him, but he added a layer of hoarseness to his voice out of thin air, which made Ji Jiang swallow heavily.

Bai Jiu's hand moved up Ji Jiang's arm and moved it to his neck. Ji Jiang's eyes were glued to his wrist, watching Bai Jiu finally stop his hand on his neck, feeling the warmth of his fingertips. It felt like a touch, and then there was a sudden shock: Bai Jiu actually hooked his fingers lightly and rubbed against him.

At this moment, Bai Jiu withdrew his hand suddenly, turned around and left, and at the same time waved his back to him:

"Okay, let's fight."

Ji Jiang who was in high spirits: "..."

Therefore, it is said that Ji Jiang performed very well in the fighting scene that day, with smooth movements and full strength. The only thing is that because of his excellent acting skills, his expression was too realistic, as if he really... really wanted to beat him up.
