Chapter 64: Wait, why not me?
Original Translations: Crafted with Care, No Unauthorized Reposting Allowed.
Jing Rong took advantage of his free time during this period to watch all of Xi Gu's films and television works once.
When you think about it, you can see that Xi Gu rarely takes on emotional scenes, mostly drama and literary ones, or else those with outstanding character, such as the new drama some time ago, which chose a villain with more depth of character.
Even if you take the emotional scenes, look at the shooting angle should also be borrowed.
From the original plot, we know that Xi Gu is not irreverent, but he has been coveted too many times since childhood to cause his sensitivity and rejection.
Jing Rong has always suspected that Xi Gu might have Ptsd, and it is normal to have some stress reactions in severe cases.
Back to Jing Rong after a pause: "I don't mind."
But, director Liu, you allow me to think about it.
Jing Rong suddenly realized an important question, well, kiss, Xi Gu seems to be mentioned.
The director nodded in satisfaction, if some Alpha argued for this as before, it is necessary to educate some.
When the Alpha's heard that they were in a scene with Xi Gu, they cried and cried and were disappointed to know that there was no kissing scene and one of them made a scene.
"Also, you and Xi Gu have been having some conflicts lately, so if you have a conflict, let's talk about it, and I can help you. Let's see if we can each take a step back and shake hands and make peace." The director intends to be a peacemaker.
"Why? Mr. Gu takes good care of me." Jing Rong said truthfully.
"......" you talk so we can't talk this day.
" Xi Gu not to shoot kissing bed scenes is not against you, do not take it to heart. Those scenes before, it's the same. Although I have advised before, I see that his symptoms are getting worse and worse. I'll tell you something that few people know, a while ago we went to a film festival, and on the way there, Xi Gu's allergies suddenly came up, like hives, and it was scary to see."
Jing Rong really did not know about this, when the two were in contact as usual, Xi Gu also did not mention.
"And then what?"
"Then maybe it was suppressed by taking medicine or something."
"In fact, when Xi Gu signed with all the drama, there is this nail-biting rule that he can refuse any make-out scenes, he is interested in this aspect ......" Yu Liu did not finish the sentence, but the meaning is obvious, "just you know it. "
"Got it ......"
Jing Rong also suddenly realized a very serious problem that may have to be dealt with immediately. There are kissing scenes and even bed scenes in the script, which he knew at the beginning.
But he was previously more concerned with the plot and acting out his character, a habit from a previous life.
But when you think about it, he probably couldn't do it.
Just like the last time Feiyu Wu tried to kiss him, he almost wanted to beat the bastard to death.
What was thought to be simple may now become difficult.
Jing Rong tentatively asked, "Director, can this kiss scene be deleted or borrowed?"
Yu Liu directly refused: "The kissing scene is not a once or twice, and what about the bed scene later? If you delete it, the whole scene will be missing the important emotional sublimation part. Don't worry, I've chosen some very beautiful kissers for you, and then let you pick your own, which one you like, how about that?"
Xi Gu is a disease, you have no disease, no disaster to refuse a ball?
And kissing with Omega, how to look at it is A took advantage of.
Jing Rong sometimes thinks that although it seems that AO has a lot of advantages in many things, but in fact, after integrating into the world, you will find that each gender has its own troubles.
Just like A, being taken advantage of but also be said not to get a good deal.
Jing Rong knows that her refusal is inappropriate and that the world is more open to sexuality.
This is directly related to the six genders as well as pheromones, sex and lust are outspoken, blocking is better than unblocking, plot and emotion go hand in hand to get most of the audience's approval.
Jing Rong's mood was inexplicably a bit irritable, and he couldn't say it for a while.
Perhaps because while he respects people of any sexual orientation, he himself has never wanted to kiss someone of the same sex.
Do not say what six genders, in his eyes are the same, men are men.
Jing Rong looked around, the assistant director was shooting a supporting scene in another scene and didn't see Xi Gu's figure.
This reminds me that Xi Gu took a half day off today to promote her new show.
Although I couldn't go to a few of the out-of-town shows due to time constraints, I was there for the local ones, and Xi Gu has always been very responsible in this regard.
Opening the chat box, Jing Rong typed a row of words, then hesitated for a moment and deleted them one by one.
No one knows Xi Gu's situation better than he does, and for this small matter, Xi Gu is likely to agree to take on the job himself because he can't bear it.
At this time, Xietian Entertainment's manager Gao sent a message saying that the recruitment for "Absolute Idol" was completed. A total of 65 film and television companies participated, and nearly two hundred trainees applied, and half of them were to be selected for the recording of the show.
There were so many companies that signed up. Of course, it was because of Shi Xie's presence and Jing Rong's established network.
Jing Rong thought about it and said it was okay, just for a change of mood.
And this "absolute idol" in the original is Feiyu Wu's golden finger, as one of the main character attack, to the late treatment of hidden diseases, Feiyu Wu began to regret the front of the crazy batch of behavior, to Xi Gu to compensate, he is also relatively normal one. But after almost castration, what fire intimidation, the threat of resources and other things are also Feiyu Wu dry out, Xi Gu has long been Feiyu Wu's means to scare, no matter how to chase his wife crematorium later, Xi Gu did not forgive.
No forgiveness, this point as a reader, look pretty cool.
Jing Rong has always felt that the final cp in the original is either Hanqi Wu, who is known as the 6x, or Feiyu Wu, who is not a slag in the end.
Jing Rong didn't stay on set any longer and went to Xietian Entertainment.
The audition hall was full of eagerly awaiting practitioners, and Jing Rong even saw some of her classmates inside.
" Jing Rong , what are you doing here?" Jin Lv exclaimed, drawing the attention of people around her.
Jing Rong looked at him and felt as if he had seen him somewhere before.
Seeing Jing Rong's silence, and the doubt in his eyes, he couldn't have forgotten himself completely.
"I'm Jin Lv Ah! Don't you remember, moving books, library!"
A few keywords, Jing Rong finally remembered that the male Alpha who led the isolation of the original owner, after being taught a lesson by him, subsided for a long time.
The original owner's memory, and did not blame these students, the original owner also knows that their own reasons for harming them in the first place, can be a lot of damage but Jing Rong is not the original owner, it is impossible to replace the original owner to forgive, so always maintain the social distance of adults.
Jing Rong only nodded lightly, and Manager Gao came out to look around and waved with a big smile when he saw Jing Rong.
"Remember, not forgotten. I have something to do, excuse me." Jing Rong imitated his big brother Ling Xie's refusal to let people in.
A group of people watched him go inside, and there were other practice students around who watched and were somewhat discontented, and someone shouted out, "This person hasn't been called for a number yet, so why can he go in first?"
"We've all been waiting here for a long time, what gives him the right!"
Although there were many people complaining, most decided to rest on their laurels. They are only trainee, this variety show companies are quite important, at least in the current market has not seen similar, so unique appearances, they are still less trouble subtle.
Most people dare not speak out in anger, only a few are indignant.
But these few indignant trainees all quickly stopped complaining and even began to recoil after they came out of the interview room.
One of them said that the Alpha, who looked about their age and handsome enough to be able to compete for the C position, didn't seem to be a trainee and was suspected to be the owner of ....... Yes, that's the biggest investor.
He was also not here to compete, but was one of the judges for the initial screening.
Jin Lv Several people also heard the rumors and immediately had a bad premonition of the day.
When it was their turn, they saw Jing Rong sitting with several company executives.
And also the C position in the executive, was embraced in the middle, from time to time by the president next to ask whether they need food and drink, and he always expression faint.
Jing Rong was looking at a few people's profiles and flipped through a few pages.
He kept his mouth shut, allowing the more professional people around him to question the practitioners.
After a round of questions, Jing Rong asked, "You are all from the same company, so what is the company's future plan for each of you?"
Several people opened their mouths one by one, simply put, singing, dancing, acting, variety, hosting everything, in the direction of an all-round entertainer.
"All-powerful?" Jing Rong was clearly not being sarcastic either, but Jin Lv a few people turned red in the face.
Jing Rong This flat tone of voice is what makes it more like a slap in the face.
Even Xi Gu, who won the Golden Lion, does not dare to say he is an all-around artist, so where do they get the courage?
Jing Rong knocked on the table and asked, "I looked at your dance experience and it's 3 months, 1 month, and a ...... no, are you here to be funny?"
The world has no such golden words, Jing Rong opened his mouth, there was a silence around.
This moment Jing Rong aura full open, shocked the company several senior did not dare to round. Their young master either does not speak, when he speaks is very poisonous, worthy of Xie's brother, not a family, do not enter the door.
"We will try our best, are you deliberately targeting us, judge?" Is it because we bullied you in those years, you came to retaliate, of course the original words can not say so, but Jin Lv heart is thinking so.
"You're already going to be on the show, and then you're going to try?" Jing Rong laughed away, "Your information makes the situation very clear, I'm just asking based on facts. First of all, regardless of what qualities an artist needs to have, idols alone, do you guys think you only need a face? Even if you need a face, do you think your faces are special enough for the audience to remember at once?"
Jin Lv several people: "......" that indeed no.
Jing Rong: "Perhaps you should know that a qualified idol has to have a variety of talents. Most importantly, singing and dancing is not a plus, but a basic item that you must know. You took a blank paper to me and asked me if I was targeting you. Heh, I targeted a lonely."
This dislike left Jin Lv speechless, and several others tugged on his coat-tails, telling him not to raise hell with the judges.
This group, obviously, is pending.
During the intermission, Jing Rong was still reading the profiles of the people behind him, and several executives gathered to talk in whispers.
Several other people asked Manager Gao: "Should we tell the young master that this pre-game pre-selection is also going to be in the variety preview?"
Manager Gao: "The young master to know that there are installed clandestine cameras, certainly not do it."
Others echoed: "Rong always has camera phobia, and it's more real!"
"It's so hard to pull Rong to work part-time, you guys don't leak."
"Actually, the pilot alone is quite interesting to me. I have a feeling that Xietian Entertainment is going to make a comeback this time!"
"Blindly set up what Flag, face is not enough pain, forget the last investment, the last time, and the last time?" Which time did not lose money!
"Mr. Xie has given an ultimatum, if we don't achieve anything this time, the budget will continue to be cut in half next year."
Once the crowd thought of the sunset of Shi Xie Entertainment Department, each sighed, survival is too difficult.
Jin Lv A few people went out and were a bit listless.
"I would have just wanted to act too, but the company wanted me to come, so what could I do. How do I have time to learn how to dance? Jing Rong just did it on purpose, asking us all these questions and where he learned his mocking skills." That's so mean.
"He's not wrong either, since we agreed to come over to participate in the selection, we are aiming to be famous. What makes you think you can go up there if you're not even prepared?"
Several people comforted each other with your words, and they all felt that they must be yellow this time.
"At least one thing stone hammer, the world really rich and true to play beggars, 100% into the kind of." Not only did he believe himself, they all believed it too.
When I saw people in the group of students asking about the results of the audition, they didn't have the heart to say anything.
I remember Jing Rong was also in this group, and I don't want to see him say the most toxic things in a flat tone anymore.
The Alpha who used to be so introverted that he let Qi Ying scold him, is now transformed and strict enough to make people want to go back to school.
Several practice students around, suddenly pointed at a person and whispered.
"Wow, look guys, that guy is so good looking."
"Just a little bit fat, but the features are so delicate."
Jing Rong is also looking at the next person's profile, which shows that he is also from Film academy and is a freshman.
In walked a slightly chubby, but rather stunning looking Alpha, who's eyes lit up as soon as he saw Jing Rong.
For a while, it was surprisingly afraid to come over.
Jing Rong smiled gently, "Don't be afraid, we can't eat people."
After the visitor nodded nervously and introduced himself, several other executives nodded in satisfaction.
Talent show, good-looking although not the key, but if you look too good, all other conditions can be properly reduced.
Jing Rong can see that this person has a very good personal condition, and look at the information as a child also participated in the special training class of Simida.
This experience is somewhat similar to that of Xi Gu, which makes Jing Rong feel a bit close to her.
Jing Rong saw that everyone else was satisfied and had no problems and planned to pass straight away. This review officer can only be himself, looking at the information asked: "Your information shows that you have 200 pounds, but now look at you..."
The visitor was excited and looked at Jing Rong with shining eyes: "Yes, I have lost a lot of weight in the meantime."
"Perseverance is commendable." From nearly 200 pounds, to this level now, it is difficult to imagine this person's willpower, "but your body type, still a little distance from the idol. Variety recording is still half a month away, can you lose this half month?"
"Yes!" The handsome man affirmed.
Jing Rong checked off his profile.
Have the staff call out for the next one.
But this white, slightly chubby handsome man did not immediately leave, looking at Jing Rong: "Mr. Rong, you ...... do not remember me?
Jing Rong took advantage of the gap, and by the way, looked at the background of the Muli App, and saw the blue dot representing Xi Gu moving in a small area, and the corners of his mouth smiled slightly.
Jing Rong looked up: "Hmm?"
The handsome man bowed slightly and left with quick steps.
But it was a one-sided encounter, Mr. Rong may have long forgotten the fat man who happened to help at first.
Perhaps, only by standing on a higher stage, you can see me.
On the other side of the city, Xi Gu, who was getting ready in the dressing room, opened the chat box with Jing Rong from time to time, and then turned it off after a while.
I saw the "in progress" and waited for a long time, but nothing happened.
The staff at the door called his name and Xi Gu picked up his phone and went on stage to interact with the other actors in the new drama.
In fact, it has been six months since the drama was killed and only recently reviewed, and Xi Gu and the other actors have not seen each other for a long time. The main actress of this drama, Omega, was also rumored to be relatively close to him on stage, and her studio and Teng Sheng Entertainment had previously greeted each other, spreading some plausible news about each other to give the new drama a boost.
When the other person fell into Xi Gu's arms accidentally while playing a small game on stage, there was an uproar from the stage, and in the eyes of the audience, they were a man and a woman. Even though they are both O's, Xi Gu is actually more often than not an Alpha in his scenes, he is one of the few stars who are Omega but have an A aura.
Xi Gu politely pushed the actress away and looked down at quite a few cameras aimed at them, and he could already guess what the hot topic was today.
After getting off the stage, he unlocked the screen and found that Jing Rong had not sent a message.
Jing Rong What exactly is Jing Rong going to send him, why suddenly stop sending?
Do you know that this feeling is like watching a drama halfway through, to come to the next line?
Xi Gu refused the actress' invitation to a dinner date and followed Ink Dot to the underground parking lot. Recently, the driver took a leave of absence and Xi Gu has been driving the car himself.
Just when he got to the parking lot, he always felt like someone was staring at him.
Xi Gu looked around and didn't see anyone suspicious.
*
Jing Rong's interview lasted from afternoon to evening, and finally, in the midst of heated debates, 100 trainees were finalized.
He felt that the interview for others, more painful than their own interviews, this kind of work or as little as possible in the future, simply physically and mentally exhausted.
Afterwards there are several practitioners waiting for him to get off work, the beautiful name is one-on-one guidance, guidance what, and I can not sing and dance.
Manager Gao also looked like everyone understands and reminded, "If the young master likes it, he can choose a few, just to raise a fun."
And a few, not even one, Alpha's Cao Zhen is worthless? Look at them like this, who sleeps with whom?
I will never underwrite anyone in my life.
Jing Rong had just gotten into bed when he received a number of @ messages.
The display is a group of college classmates, Jing Rong will only occasionally go to see, even if it has long been added, but also rarely talk.
The main reason why I was @ today was because of the guys I ran into during the day.
The three Jin Lv, who at first thought they would be brushed off, screamed with excitement in the rental room as well as the school dormitory when they received the notification of the recording time.
I couldn't even get Jing Rong to friend me, so I had to keep thanking him in the group.
The students in the group are confused, we have agreed that no matter Jing Rong is not Jinshan, are consistent not to lick the dog?
We agreed to stick together to the end, but you secretly defected.
The chat is a row of [contempt.jpg] emoticons.
Jing Rong agreed to their inclusion purely because there were worse ones than them, he just wasn't biased.
As for this group of classmates, he found it quite interesting, but those past could not be dissipated, so he continued to ignore it.
Jing Rong looked at the location of Muli's background and made sure Xi Gu had returned.
Just then, Xi Gu's video call came in, and Jing Rong clicked yes.
But I didn't expect to see a live scene where Xi Gu, wearing a bathrobe, is sitting in front of a dressing table blowing out her hair.
It also seems to have not noticed that this side accidentally clicked on the video call, under the collar of the bathrobe, concave down half a shadow of the collarbone, hidden muscles, soft and delicate skin, dewdrops all the way from the lower jaw to slide into the shadow of the bathrobe.
Jing Rong's eyelids jumped slightly and he quickly clicked to cancel the video.
After the cancellation, the heart beat a little irregularly. Xi Gu's beauty is beyond gender, all of a sudden see the image that impacted the eyes, will not even consider that they are looking at a man, but, want to pull ...... that bathrobe.
Jing Rong pressed the responsive area below and sent a message while waiting for Alpha's raging pheromones to recede: ?
After a while, when Jing Rong was about to fall asleep, Xi Gu's message came in.
Jing Rong immediately opened his eyes.
Xi Gu : Sorry, I accidentally ordered the wrong one just now, I just came back to take a shower.
Xi Gu : What about you, no drama this afternoon, no rest? I heard from the staff that you were outside.
Xi Gu's reaction is so normal that it should really just be a mistake.
What is wrong is not Xi Gu, but his restless soul that has no place to rest.
Jing Rong thought for half a day and replied: hmm.
Turning off the lights, the room was plunged into darkness.
The image that I just saw appeared uncontrollably in my mind.
Jing Rong irritably pressed the place where he was still in high spirits, and suddenly thought that he really hadn't vented for a long time.
Jing Rong pulled the covers over his head, pointed somewhere, and muttered, "You're almost, just enough."
*
The next day, Jing Rong and Manni Xia's scene, Xi Gu had not seen the two of them in their scenes because they had to stand and shoot for a long-set magazine.
The plot talks about the young eunuch Qianming Fu who, after several lives and deaths, is rescued by Hua Shao, the seventh prince, and taken under his wing. Hua Shao gives him the task of gaining the trust of Concubine De in the fastest possible time.
In this scene, a witchcraft doll is found in the palace of Consort De, who is cleared of suspicion with the help of Qianming Fu, while several other concubines in the harem are exposed as harboring evil intentions.
After escaping from her fate, Princess De and Qianming Fu's relationship quickly heats up.
She transferred Qianming Fu to her palace and called the man in directly.
The field marker hit the board and the play began.
The court lady next to her is applying kohl, and she is wearing only a summer tulle dress, which looks flowing and soft.
Outside the door, a hunched-back, fair-skinned, handsome eunuch greeted outside, "Your Majesty, you announce your servant?"
De Fei gave him a lazy look and gave a light hmph.
Qianming Fu walked over and asked the rest of the maids to stand down, replaced by himself to slowly grind the thousand layers of phoenix tail, the only sound in the room is the friction between the stone pestle and the jar.
"Please raise your hand, Your Majesty." Qianming Fu bowed her head in an extremely low posture.
Consort De put her delicate hand on it, Qianming Fu put a little bit of the red mud on her nails.
De Fei lifted her eyes, containing half a charm: "Last time, I haven't had the chance to ask you why you think the witchcraft doll is a ghost of the Empress?"
"The stitches on the doll."
"Needle and thread?" De Fei came to be interested.
"This needle and thread is a tribute from Siamland, and His Majesty has only given it to four people, namely the Empress Dowager, the Empress, the Noble Consort and you, the Empress Dowager can first rule out suspicion, the Noble Consort is jealous and is the most suspected, but she loves red extremely, you see that witchcraft doll uses red thread, just ask if it really curses the disgusted person, who would use their favorite color?"
De Fei looked at this little eunuch with a strange expression, did not expect him to even find the cracks in the stitches, simply meticulous to the point of shock, such a person, is actually a eunuch.
"But the Empress has always been known for her benevolent and dignified ......" De Fei was a bit surprised.
"So, she's the queen."
Qianming Fu is a double entendre.
"Right, so she's the queen."
She is the queen in order to wipe out all other evidence.
She is the queen, so she looks the least suspicious.
Consort De looked at Qianming Fu and picked up Qianming Fu's lower chin with her uncoated finger: "You have made a great achievement this time, what do you want?"
"As long as Your Majesty is safe, the slave will be satisfied."
"No one in this world is without a purpose, say it."
The sight of two people, ambiguous and dense.
In this most honored place under the sky, she has never been alone, from the draft to be sent to the palace, accompanying her is the emperor's favor, from the blooming favor to nowadays occasionally, but also to face the constant influx of beauty into the palace at times, she has long been tired of it.
She fights, just out of habit.
If she doesn't fight, she will end up just like the dead souls in the palace.
She just, must be in this cage of sorrow and joy, you fight.
Now there is a man, he says, who has no purpose, but only wants her to be safe.
Consort De slowly smiled, like a gorgeous summer flower.
" Qianming Fu , remember what you said."
It was as if there was only each other in their line of sight.
"Cut!" Yu Liu shouted, Jing Rong quickly out of the scene, Manni Xia is still a little slow.
The look in Jing Rong's eyes just now was really regal. She seemed to understand why, in the drama, a sensible and intelligent woman like Consort De would gradually fall in love with this powerless young eunuch.
Yu Liu watched the replay again, nodding his head every now and then.
The assistant director, who has always been strict about acting and has been particularly unhappy with Jing Rong from the beginning, shouted "Yes!" first.
Jing Rong but not affected, feel just play is not particularly on point: "Liu, deputy director, you see this paragraph, in fact, Qianming Fu can squat on the ground for the consort to apply kohl, so there is a sense of dislocation, the visual effect is more impactful."
Yu Liu is a person who can listen to advice, sniffing and thinking, "Then let's try again, is it okay for Manny?"
Anyway, now it's all digital film, not consuming, the actors want to shoot again, he as the director of what is not happy, rolling the scene, not dedicated to see too much, Jing Rong such a rare breed, okay.
Manni Xia just got excited: "Of course, I can do it ten times!" Jing Rong and I had a great time acting together.
People around laughed and the atmosphere was cordial.
Reshoot in this scene, the director did a before-and-after comparison, decided to stay with the latter version.
After a few days of shooting, Jing Rong was recognized by most people for her strength and attitude towards the world.
Jing Rong had just finished a discussion with Manni Xia when she saw Xi Gu standing in the sunlight from a distance.
Xi Gu gave a quiet thumbs up, as if to say: You're great!
Turning to a place Jing Rong could not see, Xi Gu's smile dropped, turning back to expressionless. His heart was like the glass of lemon ice drink in his hand, bubbling with sourness.
Stick a hammer.
Leaned really close and touched hands.
Oh.
At this end, Yu Liu shot a few more scenes.
When the sun sets, night falls, let the crew change the scene, to shoot the 37th scene, Qianming Fu and Hua Shao's kiss scene.
Xi Gu just walked a few steps, wait, 37 acts ......
The memory is still fresh, isn't that... the kissing scene?
Xi Gu found that Jing Rong had stepped into the new scene, surrounded by staff in a hurry to and from the scene.
And Xi Gu, who was originally cast as a rival to Jing Rong, was not informed at all.
The director called out to some understudies and called Jing Rong to the side, looking like he was talking about the scene.
Xi Gu stayed in place in a daze, as if he had been forgotten.
Wait, why not me?
What about me?
