Sweetness: S

Chapter 38

An accident occurred during the filming of the documentary.

The veteran Ning Shuangxi visited had a sudden cerebral infarction. Since he was located in a remote mountain village, there was no sufficient medical conditions to rescue him. A group of people raced against time to drag him to the border armed police hospital but failed to rescue the old man.

Seeing helplessly that the old man who had just told him with tears in his eyes that he wanted to go back to his hometown had passed away regrettably in front of him, Ning Shuangxi squatted outside the ward and cried for more than an hour.

Powerless, and feel owed too much.He has acted this kind of emotion in many films, but he has to experience it before he knows how much despair and guilt it contains.

He finally understood that his so-called breakthrough in acting skills was all fake. He was indeed too young and had too little experience, so that the world he imagined was so innocent and even naive.

The film crew whose shooting plan was disrupted because of this accident was also very frustrated, so they gave everyone a day off.Ning Shuangxi, who didn't sleep well all night but still felt awake, simply ran to the street and wandered for a long time.

I happened to meet the fair in the old street on the border, and the bustling crowd crowded him into a bit of a mess. However, after integrating into the whole fair, I felt that he was also a member of this group of border residents.

Not long after shopping, I received a message from Liang Tianyi.Liang Tianyi thought he was too busy last night because he didn't make a video call on time, but he didn't even receive the message in the morning, so he finally got anxious.

There is only 2G signal at the border, and the speed is slow and unstable. In order to send a comforting text message, Ning Shuangxi had to find a tea stall to sit down and rest.

After editing a few lines of the text message, there was a sudden commotion around him.

From the conversations of the local people, it was vaguely heard that a rich family got married and found a troupe to perform. Ning Shuangxi didn't like this kind of overly lively things, but couldn't resist the curiosity about the border troupe, and endured it. In the noisy background, I just waited until a young man with very rustic clothes came on stage to sing.

When the music started, he almost didn't spit out.

Resisting the urge to burst out laughing, he took out his mobile phone, recorded a full 10-minute video, and then ran to the hotel impatiently, just to send this video to the other party as soon as possible.

It was already one o'clock in the noon when we got back to the hotel, and it should be dead of night at Meidi's side, but when the video was sent, Liang Tianyi immediately sent a few embarrassing expressions.

The young man who killed Matt sang his song, accompanied by a few girls dressed in very plastic clothes, and the arrangement also inexplicably added DISCO sound effects. A British love song that was supposed to be very western suddenly became full of local festiveness feel.

Ning Shuangxi hugged her phone and rolled on the bed laughing.

All the depression up until now was diluted by this video, and he sent a message over there with shaking hands: "Look, this shows that even if you are splashed with dirty water, they can't erase your achievements."

"Mouse loves rice and there are [-] million downloads, what do you want to compare?"

"You don't like things that the masses love, who are you?"

Young people who dare not speak rudely again can only admit defeat.

Ning likes to roll with laughter again.

Liang Tianyi took off his glasses and rubbed his eyes.Hearing the voice message sent over there, he felt that he was in a good mood, and finally he was not so worried.

He looked at the alarm clocks in two different time zones on his right, and took a pen to draw a cross on yesterday on the calendar.

Would love to meet that person, even if it's 12 hours away in a time zone.The current situation is the result of his choice. He doesn't regret it, but he hopes to return to him sooner.

A day in advance is also good.At least let him have some hope on this long, even less confident challenge.

Zhao Chen came to visit the class the next day, and heard about Ning Shuangxi's experience on the way here. He thought he would see him haggard, but he didn't expect him to be normal. trace.

Did the whistleblower exaggerate?Zhao Chen murmured in his heart, but since the other party didn't have to worry about himself, he was happy to quickly bring up the next job for him to discuss: "Hey, Director Chen's new play. I also came to see Director Tian's movie. This It’s a good movie, the characters are more challenging, and if it’s done well, the chances of winning a prize are high.”

Ning Shuangxi only took a few glances before throwing the script back: "I want to learn how to play an ordinary person again."

Liang Wenpei was right.He almost fell into a vicious circle of "not accepting non-challenging roles".Even an ordinary person has different emotions and joys from others.Before he became ordinary, he may have had his own little glory.Maybe he was a hero before he died in a dilapidated house with no shelter from the wind and rain.

No one is really ordinary.Everyone's life experience will breed different looks and behaviors from others because of their own encounters.

Seeing that Ning Shuangxi seemed to have an epiphany, Zhao Chen couldn't help but rejoice that he had finally chosen the right event.It's just that it takes a little effort to reject Director Chen, not to offend others but also to leave a way out. Alas, being a nanny for a second-tier star is already quite troublesome. He has to admire a gold medal manager like Fang Yuan.

A few days later, when the other teams finished their tasks and returned to the base camp, Liang Wenpei heard about what had happened to Ning Shuangxi, so he found him privately and handed him a copy of the script: "An anti-Japanese war drama, a supporting role, doesn't talk much, and you have to suffer. You want to learn how to use guns to learn gymnastics, do you want to act?"

Ning Shuangxi only glanced at the title, and nodded without opening it: "Play."

He didn't want to admit defeat in front of this person—unless this person stopped picking on himself as a daughter-in-law.

Liang Wenpei was a little surprised by his attitude, but he didn't show it on the spot, and only raised the corners of his mouth slightly when he turned to leave.

After the filming ended, everyone was busy packing their bags and preparing to go home.Ning Shuangxi packed his luggage casually, and ran to the town with the small DV that Zhao Chen brought him.The troupe had just finished a funeral for someone, and the stage was not demolished. The young man who killed Matt replaced the pink and purple sequined jacket that day with a Jackson-style black jacket, and his hair was still aggressive.When Ning Shuangxi approached him, Sha Matt mistook him for a local college student village official.

"Can I trouble you to sing it again? I'll show it to Liang Tianyi." Ning Shuangxi added: "I'll pay you double the market price!"

Sha Matt didn't believe that he really knew Liang Tianyi. In a place like theirs, not to mention Liang Tianyi, copycat imitators could be sought after as stars. The young man in front of him said that he knew Liang Tianyi, so he also knew Andy Lau!

But money is a good thing.

The youth who killed Matt hurriedly stopped the dancers who were about to change their clothes. These dancers were reluctant at first, but when they heard that someone wanted to make a video, their pride as actors made them jump on the stage again, and their performance was even harder than before. .

When Ning Shuangxi was filming, she didn't smile at all.

He felt that they really wanted to be a star. Although the stage was simple and the sound was harsh, it could not affect their enthusiasm at all.

Facing the camera, they performed hard, only hoping that all the hard work they put in for their dreams would stay on that roll of tape.

After filming, they jumped off the stage one after another, squeezing Ning Shuangxi to watch the replay.Hearing that Ning Shuangxi agreed to reproduce a few CDs as a souvenir for them, the joy on his face was stronger than getting the money.

On the way to the airport by car, Ning Shuangxi told Liang Tianyi about this, and then joked: "If you still can't return to the mainstream stage, you can go to the big rural stage. I don't believe they can even block this."

Liang Tianyi actually agreed.

Ning Shuangxi laughed loudly, attracting the attention of other people in the car.

He struggled to suppress his laughter, and looked sideways out of the car window.Drizzling rain fell on the highway, making the mountains on both sides smoky.He was clutching his phone, clearly yearning wildly, but couldn't help but start thinking about the days after the two came out publicly.

It might be tough, it might be expelled from the mainstream media.

But that doesn't matter.

As long as there are places in this world where he can sing and act, then there is nothing to be afraid of.
