I caught the white moonlight of the scumbag [Rebirth]
Chapter 32 Why Are You Still Bringing This Thing...
As Pei Xingmiao expected, they arrived at the set at exactly nine o'clock in the evening.
Xia Shiyan didn't understand the process, so Pei Xingmiao asked him and the crew to go to the reserved room to put their luggage, and went to meet the director and the others by himself.
Originally, Yang Xi was supposed to take him to meet the director to let the director know about him, but Pei Xingmiao didn't make it because Yang Xi deliberately intervened.
Yang Xi seems to want the director to leave the first impression of him being arrogant and not knowing etiquette.
Pei Xingmiao had no choice but to reach out and not hit the smiling face, but Yang Xi could dismiss him with the word 'busy'.
Two days before he came, Pei Xingmiao was brought in by Xia Tian to join Director Li as a friend. He sincerely apologized to Director Li, but until now he has not received a response from Director Li.
Pei Xingmiao sighed helplessly, he didn't even go to the audition, Director Li didn't care about the meal at all, the most important thing was sincerity.
He left a bad impression on the director from the very beginning, and he must not slow down the rhythm when filming. Therefore, in the past few days, apart from cooking, bathing and sleeping, he spends the rest of his time thinking about the script.
Director Li is 48 years old this year. He usually has a straight face and often leaves a fierce stereotype on people.
There are also assistant directors, screenwriters, producers, and director assistants sitting in the room, and at a glance, they feel that they have entered some kind of party room.
The male and female protagonists are Xiao Jiang Yuan and Xiao Hua Zhao Sha, who have been on fire recently. They are very dedicated. They came to say hello an hour ago, and now they have returned to the room.
The rest of the lesser-known supporting actors stayed in the room, and they didn't dare to interrupt casually. Listening to the directors talking about the script was also a kind of learning.
There was a young man standing in front of Director Li. Pei Xingmiao had a good memory. Maybe it was the reason why Yu Zhou was always on the trending list. He recognized him almost immediately.
Yu Zhou was good-looking, with a kind smile on his face. The middle-aged woman standing next to him should be his manager.
"Director Li, Zhou Zhou really worked very hard. He just held on to the script and refused to let go..."
Even the sound of Pei Xingmiao opening the door could not interrupt the manager's praise and fawning.
The room fell silent, everyone's eyes focused on Pei Xingmiao, he didn't hesitate at all, he greeted Director Li and the rest of the staff who were sitting in the middle, and then obediently stood beside the actors standing next to him .
"Director Li, our state..." The manager glanced at Pei Xingmiao who was walking to the side, thinking that he was not a big shot, and was about to continue.
"Pei Xingmiao, right? Have you finished reading the script?" Although Director Li's voice was not loud, his momentum overwhelmed Yu Zhou's manager.
Everyone hoped that the directors would take more care of the artists under them. Yu Zhou and his manager were too noisy. With so many people present, it was difficult for Director Li to turn his face.
In the beginning, the other party was speaking politely, but in the end, they began to talk about their parents, and the two of them were like singing a double reed in front of him.
On the surface, Yu Zhou held back the manager and told him not to praise him, but if he really didn't want the other party to say it, he had plenty of ways to stop the manager's mouth.
Anyone can do this kind of trick, and he just finds it annoying when he sees it.
How can he have the energy to take care of a stranger who is out of touch with all the things he is busy with every day?
His impatience was already on his face, but the other party pretended not to see it.
Since the other party didn't show face, he didn't want to show face to her either.
All eyes were on Pei Xingmiao again. Pei Xingmiao took a few steps forward and replied earnestly, "I've finished watching."
"Don't rush to take the makeup photo tomorrow, come to me first after you put on your makeup."
Pei Xingmiao didn't show his doubts on his face, but nodded and said, "I see."
After finishing speaking, Director Li picked up the notebook on the table and chatted with the assistant director next to him. Naturally, Yuzhou's manager couldn't continue talking, so they whispered a few words and left.
The assistant director naturally knew what the director meant, and said to everyone in the room: "I'm tired after a long day of driving, everyone go back to the room to rest, and get up early to start work tomorrow."
Pei Xingmiao went out with everyone, and Director Li's gaze remained on the door after he left.
Xia Tian was stubborn. After arguing with Xia Shiyan, she turned around and asked Director Li to take more care of Pei Xingmiao.
Director Li didn't like people joining his crew without auditioning, but he had to comply with the request of the investor.
After preparing for so long, the director could no longer hold back, and in the end he could only bow his head to the top, so he somewhat rejected Pei Xingmiao's behavior of going through the back door.
He deliberately asked his assistant to collect information about Pei Xingmiao, and also took a look at the works that Pei Xingmiao starred in.
In all fairness, Pei Xingmiao's acting skills are considered qualified and excellent among young fresh meat, but this time he will play the regent who is older than him.
The regent was only in his 20s when he first appeared on the stage, and later the regent was nearly forty years old. He didn't think Pei Xingmiao could handle a role of this age.
It is not Director Li's style to deny the other party just by looking at the surface. His prejudice against Pei Xingmiao is mainly because Pei Xingmiao passed the role without showing up for the audition.
Before Pei Xingmiao came, Director Li felt that Pei Xingmiao was just like the proud young man he had worked with.
After seeing it with my own eyes, perhaps with Yuzhou's comparison, the original prejudice against Pei Xingmiao was slightly weakened.
Not flattering and not talking too much, An Jingjing looks pretty good, I don't know if there will be any troubles in the future.
When Pei Xingmiao returned to the room, Xia Shiyan had already taken out all the things that needed to be used in the suitcase and arranged them.
He also asked the hotel staff for a quilt, and built himself a nest on the sofa just like he did in Director Wang's crew before.
When Pei Xingmiao entered, Xia Shiyan was spreading a quilt by the sofa.
He thought Xia Shiyan didn't know, and reminded: "The crew has reserved rooms for the assistants, so you don't need to sleep on the sofa."
"The staff told me just now that they share a room with three people. I'm not used to being with so many strangers. Brother, can I sleep on the sofa?"
Xia Shiyan looked sideways at Pei Xingmiao, didn't he ask if I could live here.
As soon as the three words 'sleeping on the sofa' were uttered, it only made people feel that he was humble and pitiful. No matter how hard-hearted Pei Xingmiao was, he couldn't say a word 'no'.
"However, the bed will be more comfortable..."
Pei Xingmiao glanced at the 1.8-meter big bed and said with a smile, "You can move the quilt to the bed."
Xia Shiyan opened his eyes wide, hesitantly said in disbelief: "I, will I sleep with you?"
The heating was turned on in the room, and Pei Xingmiao took off his coat to cover up the affirmation he blurted out without thinking, and said in a calm voice, "Do you like sleeping on the sofa?"
The corners of Xia Shiyan's lips curled up, and he said happily, "I like sleeping on the bed."
Xia Shixuan was afraid that Pei Xingmiao would go back on his word, and he could pretend to refuse the usual things. As soon as Pei Xingmiao finished speaking, he immediately picked up the quilt and threw it on the bed.
Pei Xingmiao laughed looking at Xia Shiyan's busy back. Before he went to the bathroom to take a bath, Xia Shiyan asked again.
"Brother, are you hungry? Do you want to order takeaway, or should I buy something nearby?"
It's okay if Xia Shiyan didn't say anything, but when he mentioned Pei Xingmiao, he felt his stomach screaming. Today, in order to catch the car, the two of them only ate a piece of bread at the airport.
The crew has covered up the entire 18th floor rooms. The sound insulation of the hotel is not very good. Walking around in the corridor at night, the sound of closing and opening doors is particularly noticeable.
Everyone's schedule is different, and most people need a quiet environment.
Pei Xingmiao didn't want to disturb others on the first day, so he picked up his backpack and took out the two emergency boxes of instant noodles inside.
"I'm not familiar with the place when I first arrived here, it's not safe for you to go out alone, so just make do with this first."
Xia Shiyan immediately understood Pei Xingmiao's concerns, and he took out the electric kettle in his backpack to fetch water.
Pei Xingmiao couldn't help being happy when he saw what he took out, "Why did you even bring this?"
Xia Shiyan pressed the button to boil water, and explained: "I heard from others in the crew that it's best not to use things from the hotel. The guests in front don't know what they did with them. I think cleanliness is the most important thing."
Pei Xingmiao was not in a hurry to take a shower anymore, he walked up to Xia Shiyan, pointed at his backpack, and asked curiously, "What else did you bring?"
Xia Shiyan's expression changed immediately, and his voice lowered, "It's nothing, just some that I think can be used."
"Can I take a look?"
Xia Shiyan showed some hesitation, his face began to turn red, Pei Xingmiao became even more curious, he didn't want to take back the question, he just waited for Xia Shiyan to take the initiative to explain.
The two of them carried a suitcase and a backpack each when they went out. His bag was full of food, drink, and things that he needed at any time. Xia Shiyan's backpack was swollen like a steamed bun.He was in a hurry before, so he asked casually, Xia Shiyan avoided the heavy and light, and only said that the suitcase couldn't fit too many things, and put the things that couldn't fit into the backpack.
But just now, when he saw Xia Shiyan took out a kettle from his backpack, he felt something was wrong.
Seeing Xia Shiyan's blushing again, he felt even more tricky.
After a stalemate for a long time, when Pei Xingmiao softened and didn't want to make Xia Shiyan continue to embarrass him, Xia Shiyan carried his backpack to the front.
"I, let me say yes first, you can't laugh at me." Xia Shiyan suddenly raised his head, biting his lower lip, with a serious and serious expression.
When he was young, Xia Shiyan was too young and childish, no matter how he looked at it, he found it extremely funny. Pei Xingmiao already wanted to laugh, but the way he said it was——
"Okay, I don't laugh."
After receiving an affirmative answer, Xia Shiyan took out the things in the backpack with peace of mind.
There was really nothing strange in the backpack, Xia Shiyan unzipped it, and took out a white pillow with a star pattern from it.
Pei Xingmiao burst into laughter, "Why do you still bring this thing with you when you go out?"
Xia Shiyan's eyes widened, and he complained, "Aren't you a joke?"
Pei Xingmiao raised her hand to cover her mouth, and said apologetically, "Normally you don't laugh, unless you can't help it."
Xia Shiyan: "..."
He blushed, wanted to be angry but couldn't get up, and said falteringly: "I can't sleep outside, I can only fall asleep when I touch something familiar."
Xia Shiyan didn't let Pei Xingmiao buy a bed, Pei Xingmiao specially bought him a pillow and quilt, but he couldn't bring the quilt, so he had to bring the pillow.
He does have this problem. In a strange environment, he can't fall asleep without something reassuring.
This pillow has been placed on Pei Xingmiao's bed for many days, and it smells of Pei Xingmiao more or less.
He originally thought that he would not be able to sleep with Pei Xingmiao for the past few months, and it would be more comfortable to hug the pillow, but he didn't expect that Pei Xingmiao would agree to let him sleep on the bed.
Now being caught by Pei Xingmiao, will Pei Xingmiao think he is naive?Bring a pillow when you go out.
Afraid that Xia Shiyan would turn into anger, Pei Xingmiao didn't speak, and after closing the bathroom door, he could still hear low laughter from inside.
The embarrassment in front of Pei Xingmiao dissipated, Xia Shiyan also laughed along with Pei Xingmiao.
He didn't understand why someone would act stupid in front of the person he liked before, but after he fell in love with Pei Xingmiao, he knew that to make the other party happy, pretending to be stupid was nothing.
He had tried more than once to think about what stupid things he would do in front of his sweetheart when he was young.
It's just that there was no chance before, and the best time has been missed.
Fortunately, there is still time.
Pei Xingmiao set the alarm clock for six o'clock and came to the dressing room early.
There was no notice of what time to start work last night, but the makeup artists had to get up early to wait for the actors. The makeup artists were yawning while applying makeup to Pei Xingmiao.
She has been chasing "The Trainee", so she naturally knows Pei Xingmiao. She is not a fan of Pei Xingmiao, but she has a good impression of him, and she also sighed with others why he retired from the competition.
When putting on makeup, it was inevitable that she would talk too much. Pei Xingmiao was the same as the characters shown in the show, without any pretense, and her attitude was friendly.
The makeup artist liked him more and more, and couldn't help feeling a little fond of him.
Director Li doesn't like multiple actors playing a role. In this play, Pei Xingmiao will present three regents of different ages and appearances.
I was ignorant and youthful when I was a teenager, and I was about to go to the battlefield as soon as I entered the military camp. In my twenties, I showed a more mature side than my peers. At that time, the regent had already held a lot of power, and his words and deeds were different from when he was a teenager. , When he is nearly 40 years old, it is different from when he was in his twenties. Just being mature is not enough. It is difficult for actors to express the feeling of time precipitation with simple performances. This is also one of the problems that Director Li is worried about.
Halfway through the make-up, the actors are basically all there. Everyone sits in front of the makeup mirror and waits for the makeup to be applied. The hero and heroine have their own separate dressing room, and they are not crowded with everyone.
Sitting next to Pei Xingmiao was Yu Zhou. He saw Pei Xingmiao first and didn't say hello.
Just as Pei Xingmiao was about to take the initiative to speak, the director's assistant walked in suddenly, handed him and Yu Zhou a notebook, and whispered: "Director Li asked you to choose a clip in it, memorize the lines, and go to him when you are ready. .”
After Director Li finished speaking last night, Pei Xingmiao guessed what Director Li wanted to discuss with him. Director Li wanted him to make up for the missing audition assessment.
But he didn't expect Director Li to take the assessment along with Yuzhou. He wanted to come to Yuzhou, just like himself, and was also squeezed in.
Thinking about it again, it's not surprising that many of the roles of the two of them have to be tied together.
Pei Xingmiao opened the book, and the few clips selected by Director Li are the most important content in the second half of the script.
He didn't think that Director Li wanted to embarrass them, he guessed that Director Li wanted to spy on their depths, so that he could think about how to direct the play afterwards.
Grabbing his notebook, Yu Zhou suddenly said, "The makeup photo was not taken, and the fragrance was not posted. The reporters are waiting outside. Why did Director Li suddenly ask us to try it first? He won't want to go back on his word, will he?" ?”
The contracts are all signed, and the drama has been dragged on for so long because of disagreements over casting.
If Director Li had the right, he would have already determined it, so how could he give them a chance?
Pei Xingmiao stared at Yu Zhou in the mirror, the makeup artist was making faces for him, he didn't dare to make too much expression, he just comforted: "It's snowing outside, he probably wants to shoot some snow scenes first .”
City H is located in the south, and there are few snow days. Although artificial snow can be made, but there are natural resources, the directors will naturally not miss it.
Yu Zhou frowned, and said worriedly: "I'm so nervous, if I delay later, don't be angry."
Pei Xingmiao: "Why, it's me instead. If you don't perform well, don't mind."
"Hey, aren't you a child star? Haven't you been acting for almost ten years? I want you to take care of me. How about teaching me when you have time? As a junior, I count on you, senior." Yu Zhou Naturally speaking, Pei Xingmiao felt uncomfortable.
Yu Zhou's tone was taken for granted, and he even pretended to be senior and junior, as if it was Pei Xingmiao's duty to teach the younger generation.
Pei Xingmiao answered Yuzhou's words patiently, and finally took the initiative in the topic amid Yuzhou's noise. He made sure that the two of them picked a clip and began to recite their lines.
He had already memorized his lines by heart, reviewing them was secondary, the main thing was that Yu Zhou was so good at speaking.
Different from the gentleness in front of the director yesterday, Yu Zhou always gave people the feeling of domineering when he spoke, and he couldn't handle it.
The makeup artist listened to Director Li's order and gave Pei Xingmiao a relatively mature look.
In the script, the regent Xiao Chi has a bohemian and casual personality from his youth to his death, and his appearance can be said to be unkempt.
The makeup artist put on a wig for Pei Xingmiao. The long black hair was not neatly tied together, but a loose ponytail was tied with a black tie that was as wide as the index finger, and a few strands of hair fell on the sideburns and forehead.
They were seated by the window, and the makeup artist was very satisfied with her work. She reached out to tidy up the broken hair on Pei Xingmiao's cheek.
Under the light, Pei Xingmiao's face became more and more mature after modification, and those light-colored eyes were displayed in front of people without reservation, and the makeup artist couldn't help but gasp.
"Are you born with these eyes?"
"I have a little bit of German blood."
The makeup artist exclaimed, "You don't look like a mixed race at all..."
She consciously made a slip of the tongue, and quickly added: "No, no, I mean, you look too good-looking, especially your eyes, but you may need to wear colored contact lenses when filming."
There are more mixed races, what's so strange?
Yu Zhou glanced at the make-up artist who was making a fuss, and then at Pei Xingmiao.
He thinks he looks good. In the previous production crew, everyone would stare at him several times and praise him too much.
But now, all the eyes around Pei Xingmiao were focused on Pei Xingmiao, and the sense of gap widened unconsciously, and he suddenly felt that the other party was a bit of an eyesore.
He can't compare with Jiang Yuan, the male protagonist, can he even compare with Pei Xingmiao who is the second fan?
As early as last night when Pei Xingmiao broke in suddenly, he felt that Pei Xingmiao was a 'newcomer' who didn't know the rules. No wonder he couldn't become popular for so many years.
They were talking with Director Li, but that guy didn't know how to wink, and interrupted them casually.
What if he gets tired of Director Li?
After finishing his makeup, Pei Xingmiao took his clothes and went to the changing room. He adjusted his clothes in front of the mirror in the cubicle.
He didn't dress neatly, what Xiao Chi wanted was to be casual.
The laces are loosely tied, leaving nothing exposed on the body, yet looking slovenly.
……
Director Li was watching the staff setting up the venue outside. Yu Zhou played the role of the little emperor of the same age, so he didn't need complicated makeup.
It was already nine o'clock in the morning when Pei Xingmiao rushed over, and Yu Zhou was already standing beside Director Li with a smile on his face, not knowing what to say.
The courtyard door was wide open, and several workers near the door were carrying flowerpots, and they all stopped when they saw people coming in.
It snowed heavily last night, the director wanted to use local materials, and did not let people sweep the snow in the yard in front of the door. The dull sound of boots stepping on the snow was drowned out by the noise of the crowd.
The early sun was covered by lead-colored clouds, and there were scattered fine snowfalls in the sky.
Pei Xingmiao was wearing a black dress with a white fox fur on his shoulders. His slightly messy temple hair brushed against his bloodless face. There was a half smile on his mouth. With the help of his makeup, the corners of his eyes were revealed when he smiled. The two fine lines do not look gentle, but instead give people a feeling of breathless heaviness.
No need to look at the clothes, just one glance, everyone can confirm who the young man is playing.
There was a red mark in the middle of the pale lower lip. The red color made Pei Xingmiao more popular, and it also made people wake up from the trance.
"Director Li." Pei Xingmiao walked up to Li Xingkai and greeted him in a low voice.
Director Li recovered from his stupefaction, and gave a faint 'hmm', he didn't ignore Pei Xingmiao like yesterday, his face was still stern, and he asked seriously: "Have you memorized the lines?"
Pei Xingmiao nodded, although he knew that Yu Zhou might have said it first, he still took the initiative to say: "Yu Zhou and I chose the scene of arguing with the little emperor."
It doesn't matter which episode you choose, Pei Xingmiao chose the snowy scene only when he saw the snow outside.
If Director Li is satisfied, maybe this scene can be filmed along the way, and it can also leave a good impression on the director.
There is no need to show this in front of Director Li, it will only make people think you are smart.
Every director has a different temper. Director Wang is easy-going and easy-going. A big director like Director Li, who is not good at oil and salt, is the most taboo of others to point fingers behind his back and play tricks.You thought you guessed the director's intentions and acted in good faith, but instead you would be self-defeating and anger the other party.
"Let's meet again, and then we'll shoot a section first." Director Li ordered.
Yu Zhou showed a surprised expression, and said nervously, "Is this going to be filmed? I thought the director wanted to see how we prepared..."
Director Li glanced at him, and said coldly: "If you want to take pictures, you can take pictures, what are you talking about so much?"
Yu Zhou nodded awkwardly, looked at Pei Xingmiao, showed a standard smile, and exclaimed: "Xingmiao, you are so smart, you have guessed Director Li's intentions by choosing the snow scene on purpose? I am so stupid Haha, seeing the snow, I thought I could make a snowman."
Director Li was not as angry as he imagined, but looked at Pei Xingmiao thoughtfully.
Pei Xingmiao's face was calm, a sarcastic smile curled up on the corner of his mouth, and Yu Zhou's smile froze on his face.
Didn't you say that Pei Xingmiao is a bun, and you get angry after just a few words?
Pei Xingmiao raised his hand and grabbed the plum blossoms on Yuzhou's shoulders. His gentleness seemed to be frozen by frost and snow, and suddenly became as sharp as a blade, and his voice became low when he spoke, "Did I give you face?" ?”
Everyone present fell silent, and even Director Li, who was always serious, was stunned. He was the first to react, and immediately glared at Yu Zhou, reminding loudly, "Take the show!"
It was only then that Yu Zhou realized that Pei Xingmiao had already entered the role state, and what he said just now were lines from the script.
Xia Shiyan didn't understand the process, so Pei Xingmiao asked him and the crew to go to the reserved room to put their luggage, and went to meet the director and the others by himself.
Originally, Yang Xi was supposed to take him to meet the director to let the director know about him, but Pei Xingmiao didn't make it because Yang Xi deliberately intervened.

The corners of Xia Shiyan's lips curled up, and he said happily, "I like sleeping on the bed."
Xia Shixuan was afraid that Pei Xingmiao would go back on his word, and he could pretend to refuse the usual things. As soon as Pei Xingmiao finished speaking, he immediately picked up the quilt and threw it on the bed.
Pei Xingmiao laughed looking at Xia Shiyan's busy back. Before he went to the bathroom to take a bath, Xia Shiyan asked again.

Xia Shiyan immediately understood Pei Xingmiao's concerns, and he took out the electric kettle in his backpack to fetch water.
Pei Xingmiao couldn't help being happy when he saw what he took out, "Why did you even bring this?"
Xia Shiyan pressed the button to boil water, and explained: "I heard from others in the crew that it's best not to use things from the hotel. The guests in front don't know what they did with them. I think cleanliness is the most important thing."
Pei Xingmiao was not in a hurry to take a shower anymore, he walked up to Xia Shiyan, pointed at his backpack, and asked curiously, "What else did you bring?"
Xia Shiyan's expression changed immediately, and his voice lowered, "It's nothing, just some that I think can be used."
"Can I take a look?"
Xia Shiyan showed some hesitation, his face began to turn red, Pei Xingmiao became even more curious, he didn't want to take back the question, he just waited for Xia Shiyan to take the initiative to explain.
The two of them carried a suitcase and a backpack each when they went out. His bag was full of food, drink, and things that he needed at any time. Xia Shiyan's backpack was swollen like a steamed bun.He was in a hurry before, so he asked casually, Xia Shiyan avoided the heavy and light, and only said that the suitcase couldn't fit too many things, and put the things that couldn't fit into the backpack.
But just now, when he saw Xia Shiyan took out a kettle from his backpack, he felt something was wrong.
Seeing Xia Shiyan's blushing again, he felt even more tricky.
After a stalemate for a long time, when Pei Xingmiao softened and didn't want to make Xia Shiyan continue to embarrass him, Xia Shiyan carried his backpack to the front.
"I, let me say yes first, you can't laugh at me." Xia Shiyan suddenly raised his head, biting his lower lip, with a serious and serious expression.
When he was young, Xia Shiyan was too young and childish, no matter how he looked at it, he found it extremely funny. Pei Xingmiao already wanted to laugh, but the way he said it was——
"Okay, I don't laugh."
After receiving an affirmative answer, Xia Shiyan took out the things in the backpack with peace of mind.
There was really nothing strange in the backpack, Xia Shiyan unzipped it, and took out a white pillow with a star pattern from it.
Pei Xingmiao burst into laughter, "Why do you still bring this thing with you when you go out?"
Xia Shiyan's eyes widened, and he complained, "Aren't you a joke?"
Pei Xingmiao raised her hand to cover her mouth, and said apologetically, "Normally you don't laugh, unless you can't help it."
Xia Shiyan: "..."
He blushed, wanted to be angry but couldn't get up, and said falteringly: "I can't sleep outside, I can only fall asleep when I touch something familiar."
Xia Shiyan didn't let Pei Xingmiao buy a bed, Pei Xingmiao specially bought him a pillow and quilt, but he couldn't bring the quilt, so he had to bring the pillow.
He does have this problem. In a strange environment, he can't fall asleep without something reassuring.
This pillow has been placed on Pei Xingmiao's bed for many days, and it smells of Pei Xingmiao more or less.
He originally thought that he would not be able to sleep with Pei Xingmiao for the past few months, and it would be more comfortable to hug the pillow, but he didn't expect that Pei Xingmiao would agree to let him sleep on the bed.
Now being caught by Pei Xingmiao, will Pei Xingmiao think he is naive?Bring a pillow when you go out.
Afraid that Xia Shiyan would turn into anger, Pei Xingmiao didn't speak, and after closing the bathroom door, he could still hear low laughter from inside.
The embarrassment in front of Pei Xingmiao dissipated, Xia Shiyan also laughed along with Pei Xingmiao.
He didn't understand why someone would act stupid in front of the person he liked before, but after he fell in love with Pei Xingmiao, he knew that to make the other party happy, pretending to be stupid was nothing.
He had tried more than once to think about what stupid things he would do in front of his sweetheart when he was young.
It's just that there was no chance before, and the best time has been missed.
Fortunately, there is still time.
Pei Xingmiao set the alarm clock for six o'clock and came to the dressing room early.
There was no notice of what time to start work last night, but the makeup artists had to get up early to wait for the actors. The makeup artists were yawning while applying makeup to Pei Xingmiao.
She has been chasing "The Trainee", so she naturally knows Pei Xingmiao. She is not a fan of Pei Xingmiao, but she has a good impression of him, and she also sighed with others why he retired from the competition.
When putting on makeup, it was inevitable that she would talk too much. Pei Xingmiao was the same as the characters shown in the show, without any pretense, and her attitude was friendly.
The makeup artist liked him more and more, and couldn't help feeling a little fond of him.
Director Li doesn't like multiple actors playing a role. In this play, Pei Xingmiao will present three regents of different ages and appearances.
I was ignorant and youthful when I was a teenager, and I was about to go to the battlefield as soon as I entered the military camp. In my twenties, I showed a more mature side than my peers. At that time, the regent had already held a lot of power, and his words and deeds were different from when he was a teenager. , When he is nearly 40 years old, it is different from when he was in his twenties. Just being mature is not enough. It is difficult for actors to express the feeling of time precipitation with simple performances. This is also one of the problems that Director Li is worried about.
Halfway through the make-up, the actors are basically all there. Everyone sits in front of the makeup mirror and waits for the makeup to be applied. The hero and heroine have their own separate dressing room, and they are not crowded with everyone.
Sitting next to Pei Xingmiao was Yu Zhou. He saw Pei Xingmiao first and didn't say hello.
Just as Pei Xingmiao was about to take the initiative to speak, the director's assistant walked in suddenly, handed him and Yu Zhou a notebook, and whispered: "Director Li asked you to choose a clip in it, memorize the lines, and go to him when you are ready. .”
After Director Li finished speaking last night, Pei Xingmiao guessed what Director Li wanted to discuss with him. Director Li wanted him to make up for the missing audition assessment.
But he didn't expect Director Li to take the assessment along with Yuzhou. He wanted to come to Yuzhou, just like himself, and was also squeezed in.
Thinking about it again, it's not surprising that many of the roles of the two of them have to be tied together.
Pei Xingmiao opened the book, and the few clips selected by Director Li are the most important content in the second half of the script.
He didn't think that Director Li wanted to embarrass them, he guessed that Director Li wanted to spy on their depths, so that he could think about how to direct the play afterwards.
Grabbing his notebook, Yu Zhou suddenly said, "The makeup photo was not taken, and the fragrance was not posted. The reporters are waiting outside. Why did Director Li suddenly ask us to try it first? He won't want to go back on his word, will he?" ?”
The contracts are all signed, and the drama has been dragged on for so long because of disagreements over casting.
If Director Li had the right, he would have already determined it, so how could he give them a chance?
Pei Xingmiao stared at Yu Zhou in the mirror, the makeup artist was making faces for him, he didn't dare to make too much expression, he just comforted: "It's snowing outside, he probably wants to shoot some snow scenes first .”
City H is located in the south, and there are few snow days. Although artificial snow can be made, but there are natural resources, the directors will naturally not miss it.
Yu Zhou frowned, and said worriedly: "I'm so nervous, if I delay later, don't be angry."
Pei Xingmiao: "Why, it's me instead. If you don't perform well, don't mind."
"Hey, aren't you a child star? Haven't you been acting for almost ten years? I want you to take care of me. How about teaching me when you have time? As a junior, I count on you, senior." Yu Zhou Naturally speaking, Pei Xingmiao felt uncomfortable.
Yu Zhou's tone was taken for granted, and he even pretended to be senior and junior, as if it was Pei Xingmiao's duty to teach the younger generation.
Pei Xingmiao answered Yuzhou's words patiently, and finally took the initiative in the topic amid Yuzhou's noise. He made sure that the two of them picked a clip and began to recite their lines.
He had already memorized his lines by heart, reviewing them was secondary, the main thing was that Yu Zhou was so good at speaking.
Different from the gentleness in front of the director yesterday, Yu Zhou always gave people the feeling of domineering when he spoke, and he couldn't handle it.
The makeup artist listened to Director Li's order and gave Pei Xingmiao a relatively mature look.
In the script, the regent Xiao Chi has a bohemian and casual personality from his youth to his death, and his appearance can be said to be unkempt.
The makeup artist put on a wig for Pei Xingmiao. The long black hair was not neatly tied together, but a loose ponytail was tied with a black tie that was as wide as the index finger, and a few strands of hair fell on the sideburns and forehead.
They were seated by the window, and the makeup artist was very satisfied with her work. She reached out to tidy up the broken hair on Pei Xingmiao's cheek.
Under the light, Pei Xingmiao's face became more and more mature after modification, and those light-colored eyes were displayed in front of people without reservation, and the makeup artist couldn't help but gasp.
"Are you born with these eyes?"
"I have a little bit of German blood."
The makeup artist exclaimed, "You don't look like a mixed race at all..."
She consciously made a slip of the tongue, and quickly added: "No, no, I mean, you look too good-looking, especially your eyes, but you may need to wear colored contact lenses when filming."
There are more mixed races, what's so strange?
Yu Zhou glanced at the make-up artist who was making a fuss, and then at Pei Xingmiao.
He thinks he looks good. In the previous production crew, everyone would stare at him several times and praise him too much.
But now, all the eyes around Pei Xingmiao were focused on Pei Xingmiao, and the sense of gap widened unconsciously, and he suddenly felt that the other party was a bit of an eyesore.
He can't compare with Jiang Yuan, the male protagonist, can he even compare with Pei Xingmiao who is the second fan?
As early as last night when Pei Xingmiao broke in suddenly, he felt that Pei Xingmiao was a 'newcomer' who didn't know the rules. No wonder he couldn't become popular for so many years.
They were talking with Director Li, but that guy didn't know how to wink, and interrupted them casually.
What if he gets tired of Director Li?
After finishing his makeup, Pei Xingmiao took his clothes and went to the changing room. He adjusted his clothes in front of the mirror in the cubicle.
He didn't dress neatly, what Xiao Chi wanted was to be casual.
The laces are loosely tied, leaving nothing exposed on the body, yet looking slovenly.
……
Director Li was watching the staff setting up the venue outside. Yu Zhou played the role of the little emperor of the same age, so he didn't need complicated makeup.
It was already nine o'clock in the morning when Pei Xingmiao rushed over, and Yu Zhou was already standing beside Director Li with a smile on his face, not knowing what to say.
The courtyard door was wide open, and several workers near the door were carrying flowerpots, and they all stopped when they saw people coming in.
It snowed heavily last night, the director wanted to use local materials, and did not let people sweep the snow in the yard in front of the door. The dull sound of boots stepping on the snow was drowned out by the noise of the crowd.
The early sun was covered by lead-colored clouds, and there were scattered fine snowfalls in the sky.
Pei Xingmiao was wearing a black dress with a white fox fur on his shoulders. His slightly messy temple hair brushed against his bloodless face. There was a half smile on his mouth. With the help of his makeup, the corners of his eyes were revealed when he smiled. The two fine lines do not look gentle, but instead give people a feeling of breathless heaviness.
No need to look at the clothes, just one glance, everyone can confirm who the young man is playing.
There was a red mark in the middle of the pale lower lip. The red color made Pei Xingmiao more popular, and it also made people wake up from the trance.
"Director Li." Pei Xingmiao walked up to Li Xingkai and greeted him in a low voice.
Director Li recovered from his stupefaction, and gave a faint 'hmm', he didn't ignore Pei Xingmiao like yesterday, his face was still stern, and he asked seriously: "Have you memorized the lines?"
Pei Xingmiao nodded, although he knew that Yu Zhou might have said it first, he still took the initiative to say: "Yu Zhou and I chose the scene of arguing with the little emperor."
It doesn't matter which episode you choose, Pei Xingmiao chose the snowy scene only when he saw the snow outside.
If Director Li is satisfied, maybe this scene can be filmed along the way, and it can also leave a good impression on the director.
There is no need to show this in front of Director Li, it will only make people think you are smart.
Every director has a different temper. Director Wang is easy-going and easy-going. A big director like Director Li, who is not good at oil and salt, is the most taboo of others to point fingers behind his back and play tricks.You thought you guessed the director's intentions and acted in good faith, but instead you would be self-defeating and anger the other party.
"Let's meet again, and then we'll shoot a section first." Director Li ordered.
Yu Zhou showed a surprised expression, and said nervously, "Is this going to be filmed? I thought the director wanted to see how we prepared..."
Director Li glanced at him, and said coldly: "If you want to take pictures, you can take pictures, what are you talking about so much?"
Yu Zhou nodded awkwardly, looked at Pei Xingmiao, showed a standard smile, and exclaimed: "Xingmiao, you are so smart, you have guessed Director Li's intentions by choosing the snow scene on purpose? I am so stupid Haha, seeing the snow, I thought I could make a snowman."
Director Li was not as angry as he imagined, but looked at Pei Xingmiao thoughtfully.
Pei Xingmiao's face was calm, a sarcastic smile curled up on the corner of his mouth, and Yu Zhou's smile froze on his face.
Didn't you say that Pei Xingmiao is a bun, and you get angry after just a few words?
Pei Xingmiao raised his hand and grabbed the plum blossoms on Yuzhou's shoulders. His gentleness seemed to be frozen by frost and snow, and suddenly became as sharp as a blade, and his voice became low when he spoke, "Did I give you face?" ?”
Everyone present fell silent, and even Director Li, who was always serious, was stunned. He was the first to react, and immediately glared at Yu Zhou, reminding loudly, "Take the show!"
It was only then that Yu Zhou realized that Pei Xingmiao had already entered the role state, and what he said just now were lines from the script.
