lark

The next day, Lin Nan returned to the hotel at the film and television base early in the morning, and when he opened the door, he was startled by the people in his room.

"You, who are you?"

He stood in front of the TV with a little girl in her early 20s and stared at each other for three seconds. The little girl immediately clapped her hands and laughed: "You are Lin Nan! Hello, I am your newcomer." Assistant He Shan, I will be your little follower from now on, call me Shanshan!" She stretched her right hand in front of Lin Nan, smiling and waiting to shake hands with him.

Lin Nan was almost knocked down on the carpet by the sudden enthusiasm of the person in front of him, thinking that the little girl is a little crazy now, the corners of her mouth slightly bent, and the fingers in front of her were pinched and then quickly released.

"Hello..." Lin Nan looked at her and said, "Shanshan, how did you get in here?"

"Well." The little girl rolled her eyes, "I can't trouble myself, the first thing I did was ask the crew to help me apply for the second key card for your room."

The security of the hotel is outrageous enough, Lin Nan thought.He forced a smile and asked, "Why didn't you come in after I came back."

The meaning should be clear, but the little girl looked at him suspiciously and said, "Do you mind? It's unnecessary to mind. Assistants are all going to enter the star's room, and the others still live in the same room. After you As a big star with more than one assistant, I am not the only one who entered your room. And you see, I folded all the clothes in your room and put them away for laundry. I am very tired."

The way he speaks is innocent, but what he said is so annoying. Lin Nan feels that the company has found a magical assistant for him.He turned his head and glanced at the room, it was indeed much neater than before.

"In this way, Hassanshan," he tried his best to make his tone gentle, "let's make an agreement first. If you want to enter my room, tell me first, okay? Otherwise, I won't feel very comfortable."

He Shan curled her lips: "Okay, in order to make you feel at ease, I will listen to you. But I still have to keep the room card. If you are in any danger in the room, I can rush in to rescue you at any time!"

Lin Nan's eyelids twitched: "Okay..."

Today he has to rush to the set to film, although there are still not many scenes.Soon he discovered the benefits of having an assistant. He Shan brought a universal bag with her, which contained everything from water cups, paper towels, chargers, umbrellas, and pills, and he didn't have to carry it by himself.Preparing clothes according to the weather, contacting the system, receiving meals for the crew, and keeping track of the itinerary are all easy to do. She is a short girl, but her movements are quick and her mouth is also sharp. It took only half a day to get acquainted with the costumes, recordings, and lighting of the scene. They are almost the same, and take on all the trivial matters of Lin Nan.Lin Nan felt that his time was freed up, and he could focus more on scripts and performances.

During the filming break, Lin Nan sat on the sidelines chatting with He Shan, his attitude has eased a lot compared to a few hours ago.

"Were you from our company before? Why haven't I seen you before?"

He Shan handed the drink in his hand to him, and even unscrewed the bottle cap for him, "No, I just jumped to this job."

She reported a well-known name in the circle, and said that Lin Nan knew the reason for her rich experience after following that person for two years.

While chatting, the people in Group A came back from work.Qi Jiawen jumped out of the nanny's car in a down jacket over a costume, stopped in front of Lin Nan, and looked at He Shan beside him strangely.

He Shan was not shy at all, she looked back at the handsome guy with the eyes of a little girl, making Lin Nan couldn't help laughing.

Qi Jiawen looked at Lin Nan, Lin Nan smiled and said, "She is my assistant, her name is He Shan."

"There will be an assistant so soon." Qi Jiawen said flatly, "It seems that your company believes that you have the strength to soar into the sky."

Lin Nan heard that there was something in his words, and put away his smile a little uncomfortably, "Do you still want to talk about what happened the day before yesterday?"

"Talk, why not?" Qi Jiawen asked, "Should we talk now or at night?"

People coming and going around are obviously not the right place to talk, Lin Nan thought for a while and said, "Let's go at night."

"Okay, then I'll go back to the hotel to find you after work is over." Qi Jiawen's expression finally softened.

When he walked away, He Shan leaned close to Lin Nan's ear and whispered, "This male lead speaks in a weird way."

Lin Nan shook his head, motioning her to stop talking.

In the afternoon of filming, He Shan brought the set meal to Lin Nan, broke apart the chopsticks and handed it to him, and brought another set to eat at the same table with him.Other actors passed by them and sat down at the next tables.No one in the leading role ate this, and the supporting actors gathered in twos and threes to eat and chat, and it was naturally inconvenient for the staff to sit with them, so Lin Nan and He Shan were the only two at the table.

While eating, He Shan looked up and looked around, and whispered, "Why is no one coming to eat with us?"

Lin Nan also felt that something was wrong.It has been a long time since I have been filming in the crew for more than a month. Although Lin Nan has an introverted personality, he is kind and doesn't like to grab scenes at ordinary times, so he gets along well with everyone.Occasionally, someone would come to a party of actors to ask him if he would like to attend. When eating on the set, he would eat at the table he met. It was almost never the case that he sat alone at the table.

Could it be that I've only been away for two days, and I don't know the crew well?

At this time, Song Panpan happened to be looking for a seat with a meal, and the two met. Lin Nan smiled politely, "Do you want to sit here? There is still room."

Song Panpan looked at Lin Nan and He Shan with his eyes, and squeezed a formulaic smile on his face: "No need, I'll squeeze with Xiaomeng and the others." After speaking, he squeezed into another table.

"Why is she..." He Shan watched her leave, obviously not understanding what was going on, and the expression on her face was a little surprised and angry.

Lin Nan looked away in embarrassment, and said to He Shan, "Only when a few girls are together can we talk."

"No." He Shan thought for a while, then shook her head while holding the chopsticks, "They are still talking about us while eating."

Lin Nan froze for a moment, followed her gaze and turned his head to look over, but everyone's eyes coincidently did not look at them.He couldn't think of the reason for a while, so he comforted He Shan and said, "Maybe he is talking about I have an extra assistant."

Shanshan bit her chopsticks and looked at Lin Nan's face depressedly, and muttered, "What's there to talk about...".

In the evening, Lin Nan finished work and returned to the hotel. He Shan lived in the room next to him, saying that the company specially arranged it.Not long after, there was a knock on the door.

Lin Nan opened the door, and Qi Jiawen stood at the door in a sweater.

"Go in and talk?"

"Yeah." Lin Nan nodded, and stepped aside to let Qi Jiawen in.

After Qi Jiawen entered the room, he looked around for a week, then dragged a chair, and motioned for Lin Nan to sit on the bed, as if he wanted to have a deep talk.

Lin Nan hesitated for a moment, and sat opposite him.

"The layout of your room is exactly the same as mine." Qi Jiawen said, "The price should be the same, although it is not on the same floor."

Lin Nan didn't quite understand what Qi Jiawen meant by saying this, "Well, maybe it is."

Qi Jiawen had a rare and serious expression on his face today: "It should not be paid by the crew."

Each actor in a group has his own accommodation standard, and the little-known male number three is unlikely to live in the same room as the male number one unless he adds money by himself.Qi Jiawen had doubts in his heart for a long time, but it was delayed by going back and forth, and he didn't ask until today.

Of course Lin Nan knew how he came to this room, he sat by the bed and said in embarrassment: "What do you mean by asking this?"

Qi Jiawen thought for a while, got up and moved the chair to the position facing Lin Nan, sat down and pondered for a long time before saying: "There have been some rumors in the crew these two days, which spread very badly, I don't know if you have heard of it. "

He looked directly at Lin Nan, as if to confirm whether what Lin Nan said next was true.

Lin Nan's heart trembled, and he said in a daze, "What kind of gossip?"

"about you."

"About me?" Lin Nan forced a smile, glanced at Qi Jiawen and then lowered it again, "I have nothing to say."

He thought of the words "very ugly" in his heart, and thought of everyone's behavior towards him on the set in the afternoon, and he already understood the content of the rumors.

"You answer me first, how did the assistant and the nanny car get here?"

Lin Nan was taken aback, "Where is the nanny's car?" How could anyone know before the car arrived.

Qi Jiawen snorted softly, "The parking spaces at the base are all reserved, do you still think you can hide it?"

The crew is the place where secrets can't be kept the most. A group of people eat and live together for a long time, and gossip always dissipates faster than the wind.

"I didn't want to hide it." Lin Nan dodged his eyes uncomfortably, "I don't understand what you want to know when you ask this."

Qi Jiawen was very close to him, staring at him calmly, staring at him until his back was a little hairy, and then said coldly: "Some people say you are being trapped."

The guess in his heart was confirmed by a word, Lin Nan's body shook suddenly, his lips were tightly closed and he didn't know what to say for a moment, his hands on both sides of his body tightly clutched the bed sheet and said nothing.

He can use this reason to stay by Qi Yubai's side, but it doesn't mean he doesn't care about other people's opinions.These words sound hurtful, not to mention that Lin Nan has no way to refute.

Qi Jiawen moved forward a few inches, put his knee against Lin Nan's knee, leaned forward suddenly and put his hands on Lin Nan's thigh.

Lin Nan was frightened by his movements and stepped back, trying to stay away from his knees, but was held firmly by two strong hands.

"Lin Nan, am I still your friend?" Qi Jiawen said this in such a way that he could hear his sadness.

Although the two met after joining the group, Qi Jiawen was almost the first person to approach Lin Nan proactively.Lin Nan cherishes everyone's kindness, including Qi Jiawen's.But Qi Jiawen's feelings towards him are very complicated. There is appreciation for fellow actors, the caring of the strong for the weak, and the affection of one person for another.

"Jiawen, don't touch my leg."

"If you still treat me as your friend, tell me the truth today, do you really have a relationship with the investor?"

"I..." Lin Nan turned his body sideways, "You step back a little first, and I'll tell you later."

When Qi Jiawen heard the words, he really stepped back a little, and Lin Nan moved aside the next second, sat on the side of the bed and said, "It's not what everyone said."

"So you haven't?" Qi Jiawen seemed to have a little hope in his eyes.

"In short, I didn't do anything against my conscience for money." Lin Nan didn't want to tell the whole story about himself and Qi Yubai, so he could only stop Qi Jiawen from further questioning in this way.

"Really?" Qi Jiawen happily grabbed Lin Nan's hand and asked him urgently, "Really?"

Lin Nan started to break free again, "It's really not...don't grab me."

"I knew you were not such a person." A smile appeared on Qi Jiawen's face again, and after a pause, he frowned and said, "But what happened to your assistant and the car? It's the boss of the investor who is chasing after you." You? You can't say no, can you?"

"Qi Jiawen...can you stop guessing, no one is chasing me."

Lin Nan was in a state of confusion at the moment, thinking about how the crew was talking about him, and worrying about how to spend the remaining days in the crew.

"Okay, okay, I won't arrest you anymore." Qi Jiawen let go of him, "Then the company really assigned you?"

Lin Nan hesitated for a while, and finally hummed.

The expression on Qi Jiawen's face seemed to be relieved, and he said happily: "Why didn't you come to me when you were in trouble? Just use my assistant to talk to the car, why bother to ask the company."

Lin Nan gave a wry smile in his heart, thinking that he accepted Qi Yubai's things just because he didn't need his assistant and the car, but he didn't expect that everyone in the crew would know about the trouble now.

Qi Jiawen was a little embarrassed because he had wronged Lin Nan, and scratched his head trying to hold back an apology.Lin Nan asked, "Do you know how the rumors came out?"

"I didn't say it." Qi Jiawen raised his head abruptly, "I didn't tell anyone about the high-level Ben Yun coming to pick you up, you trust me."

It wasn't Qi Jiawen, it was just what Li Jiawen and Zhang Jiawen said, it was no different.With so many eyes in the crew, anyone could discover his secret.

"Yes." Lin Nan said flatly, "I believe in you."

Qi Jiawen looked very happy, and he looked like a dazed young man in a sweater.

"I'm sorry... Lin Nan, at first I really thought you were being hired by the big boss, and I was very angry. Maybe what I said was not very measured, so don't take it to heart."

Lin Nan asked, "Why are you angry?"

Lin Nan didn't know that before this happened, he was already the incarnation of cleanliness and underappreciation in Qi Jiawen's heart, which sounds ridiculous.

Qi Jiawen glanced at his face, and said uncomfortably: "I think this kind of thing is quite shameless, it's not that I don't believe you, it's just that other people have spread the word well, even you brought money into the group People say things like crowding out others.”

Although Ben Yun got the chance to audition, the result depends entirely on his strength.When it came to the crew, Lin Nan put all his energy into it, and worked hard in every rain play and river play, which finally earned him such a statement.Obviously, everyone usually takes his performance seriously, and when he is praised by the director, he will follow with a compliment or two, but at this time he comes to add insult to injury.Lin Nan's heart felt cold, but his head became clearer, and he said lightly, "The mouth is on them, and I can't control it no matter what."

"Don't worry." Qi Jiawen said, "If you are upright, you are not afraid of the slanting shadow. At worst, I will help you clarify."

"How can you help me clarify?"

"I……"

"Are you saying I'm not that kind of person?"

Qi Jiawen was speechless by his question, Lin Nan smiled at him, "I'm very happy to have your trust, but you can't help with clarification."

Now that he understood what was going on, the entanglement in his heart eased.

The two had nothing to say for a while, Qi Jiawen stood up in embarrassment, told him to rest earlier, and then walked away step by step.

At twelve o'clock in the morning, Lin Nan was lying on the bed, thinking about this matter uncontrollably in his mind.

He asked himself if he was afraid, and the answer was, of course, yes.The people around you may be very friendly under the surface, behind them may be extremely ugly words, no one knows what words they will use to describe themselves, how can we not scare people.

He also asked himself if he had a clear conscience.If the body is upright, the shadow will not be slanted. If the body is not upright, how can the shadow not be slanted?If it weren't for Qi Yubai, I might still have nothing to film, and I was worrying about the next year's rent.It was because of Qi Yubai that he was able to sleep on such a spacious and comfortable bed without having to endure the old air conditioner and the noise from next door.Now even the assistant is only available because of Qi Yubai, so it's hard to say that I have a clear conscience, and I can't argue with others confidently.

But all this is definitely not his intention.He can take the bus to go to one set interview after another, or he can move back to a small hotel not far away, and dismiss the assistant who was just there today.The only thing he didn't want to erase was the fact that he met Qi Yubai. He fell in love with Qi Yubai at first sight, and after a year of longing, he finally met again.He was extremely lucky to get this opportunity, and he would not let it go away no matter what others said.But God is so willing to make a joke, let them meet and get acquainted but does not give them equal status, one side gives money, and the other gives sincerity.

Therefore, all possible evil consequences today and in the future are all his own fault, the price he had engraved on the inscription of fate at the moment he promised Wu Yutong.

If, he meant, if, like Duan Ran and Qi Jiawen, he was also famous for his works, would he be able to get along with Qi Yubai as a normal person.There is no one who praises who or who supports whom, they are simply two people.

Thinking of this, Lin Nan glanced at the crescent moon outside the window, feeling more sober than before.Filming used to be his dream, but now filming is also for love.Love without bread is not love, it is delusion.He doesn't want to live as someone's accessory, let alone "that kind of person" in other people's mouths. He hopes that one day, the relationship between the two can go under the sun, where rumors and cold eyes can't hurt or touch. .
