Sweetness: S

Chapter 40

The shooting conditions of anti-Japanese war dramas have always been bad, which is one of the reasons why most first-line actresses are reluctant to participate in the shooting.

It’s not that Ning Shuangxi has never participated in war scenes before, but this time he met a strict director with the support of the army. All the scenes are pursuing texture and liveliness. After several explosions, his face does not need makeup at all. It's too expensive to see clearly.

It was already a scorching summer day, and there were fires around. It was like roasting people in the dryness. The thick military uniforms were completely soaked in just a few minutes.In this way, the director also strictly required to repeat several offensive scenes over and over again.

Some extras couldn't take it anymore, and yelled at the stage manager to drink ice water.But in the barren mountains and wild mountains, there is mineral water that has not been baked to temperature, so I just laughed. Where can I get ice water?

According to the past, Ning Shuangxi would hide in the nanny's car as soon as the scene was over, but this time he stopped.

Liang Wenpei, who had just finished filming, was holding a teapot filled with mangosteen and chrysanthemum, standing behind the camera and discussing the scene with the director. No matter how hot it was, he only unbuttoned a few buttons. The army turned into a hooligan.

"So I don't think it's a coincidence that your father became a national treasure." Ning Shuangxi said with emotion during the video chat with Liang Tianyi at night.

The other end pouted, as if he didn't really want to mention his father, but he was worried that he would make things difficult for Ning Shuangxi, so he could only hold back no matter how upset he was.

Ning Shuangxi talked about the interesting things about the filming in the past few days, and only downplayed his hardships, but just by looking at his expression and voice, he knew how tired this person was. No matter how reluctant Liang Tianyi was, he could only end the call in 5 minutes. go to sleep.

After the video was over, Liang Tianyi leaned back and put his hands on his face to hide his loss and anxiety.

The person he likes has never regarded acting as a career.He really likes acting.He likes it so much that he has been moving forward without hesitation since he entered the industry. No matter how many thorns there are, he only has the goal of becoming an excellent actor in his eyes.

If we say that when we first met him, this young actor who was not even considered a third-tier actor was just a piece of jade, and he was the first to discover that he could use his own scheming to monopolize him, but now he is far away in the United States, his career is stagnant, and he is even in danger. I don't know when I will be able to return to my country, and the sense of security that I used to have from being condescending is now gone.

He laughed self-deprecatingly.

If Liang Wenpei recognized him, it would mean that Ning Shuangxi was moving at such a speed that he even needed to start catching up.

The computer beeps for incoming mail.Liang Tianyi stood up and opened the mail.

Guan Zeru personally cut the theme song MV, the first outsider who saw it was probably Liang Tianyi.

With the brave lyrics and music in the lingering, with the picture of the movie, no one will doubt the feelings of the characters in the play.

Liang Tianyi stared at the screen, barely suppressing his jealousy, and after listening to the whole song, couldn't help but clicked off.

After 30 seconds, I couldn't help opening it again.

After all, with strong jealousy, he watched this short four and a half minutes of love story again.

He stood up and went to the bathroom to wash his face.

When he came out again, the first thing he did was to call Fang Yuan.

But when the person at the other end asked him what was the matter, Liang Tianyi was at a loss for words.

He unconsciously pinched the mouse until he accidentally clicked on the screen again, then he gave up his arms and said in a low voice, "I want to start all over again."

The joy and cheers on the other end were naturally within his expectations, but the other party said quickly and seriously: "It's easy to leave, but difficult to come back. Can you bear it?"

He used to be such a proud Liang Tianyi.Too strong, and rarely encounter setbacks, which makes him sensitive and cherish the word dignity.

But what kind of place is the entertainment industry?In this world where fish and dragons are mixed together, no one can guarantee that they will not be humiliated.

Liang Tianyi took a deep breath, he understood the meaning of Fangyuan's words.He no longer had the chance to walk away in a fit of pique. "I can."

Fang Yuan almost jumped up and cheered, but he continued to ask reservedly on the phone: "What can you do? Accompany all kinds of high-level entertainment, let you perform in some absurd places, sell your works cheaply, and don't even allow you to protest. May I?"

It's like challenging all his bottom lines.

Half a year ago, Liang Tianyi would leave with a sneer.At that time, he was at the height of his power, and he could wait for the money to pocket while standing still.

But now he was thrown into the mud.To stand up, how can there be no mud on the knees?

"... Mmm." It was very difficult, but it had to be experienced.

Fang Yuan smiled: "With your promise, leave the rest to me."

"...Fangyuan, thank you."

For more than 20 years, the most difficult pride to let go was finally disintegrated by reality after recognizing myself for the first time.

Putting down the phone and picking it up again, I really wanted to say something to Ning Shuangxi, but as soon as I turned on the phone, I saw that the Beijing time displayed on the screen was already one o'clock in the middle of the night, so I had no choice but to put down the phone, sit back in front of the computer, and start Torturing myself over and over with that less than 5 minute video.

Because he was not the protagonist, Ning Shuangxi's character ended the filming task because of sacrifice when two-thirds of the filming was completed.

During this period, he only confronted Liang Wenpei's character five times. At first, he was completely suppressed by the opponent's aura, and was scolded bloody by the director. The second time, he could barely resist Liang Wenpei's aura. Three times, and there is hardly any unnaturalness anymore.

He didn't know what score Liang Wenpei scored for the assignment he handed in at the end. Liang Wenpei didn't take him seriously from the beginning to the end. Apart from polite greetings, there was almost no communication outside the scene.

Zhao Chen muttered a little: "You said, what if he doesn't like you and scolds you behind your back? Which old man would like to see his son break his back?"

"He won't... right?" Ning Shuangxi had no idea. On the surface, he was trying hard to earn points for himself, but the points were all the subjective will of the other party. If he failed the emotional score, all other efforts would be useless.

So when the young actor and his manager said goodbye to the crew, they also specially greeted Liang Wenpei.

Liang Wenpei, who was still waiting for the next game, didn't even raise his eyelids, and hummed, he really didn't take him seriously at all.

Then wouldn't his hidden purpose of taking over "[-]" be missed? !

Ning Shuangxi didn't care about Zhao Chen's eyes, and said bluntly at the busy scene of many staff members: "Mr. Liang, thank you for your teaching. I hope that in the next play, I can play more scenes with you."

Liang Wenpei turned his head and looked at him with neither cold nor cold eyes.

Ning Shuangxi stiffened her neck and did not escape his scrutiny.

"Before you turn 30, you won't be able to win an award." The man concluded coldly, "Including supporting roles."

Not to mention Ning Shuangxi, even Zhao Chen's expression on the side couldn't help it.

"However, after the age of 30... I can try to cooperate with you." After saying this, he got up and continued his camera.

Zhao Chen immediately the rain turned sunny, patted Ning Shuangxi on the shoulder, and said with a smile, "Is it... a good thing?"

"I'm 26 now," Ning Shuangxi actually counted with his fingers, "Hey, there are only four years left. Does he mean that after four years, my chances of winning the golden statue, golden horse and golden rooster will be very high?"

Zhao Chen couldn't laugh or cry: "You can think so if you want."

"Four years? Time is too tight," Ning Shuangxi shook her head, "He really thinks highly of me."

... I don't know if it's a good thing for my artist to be so humble.Zhao Chen was very confused.But this entanglement completely dissipated after half a month.

On the first day of the release of "The Voice from Upstairs", Guan Zeru confirmed that they would sign up for the main competition unit of the Tokyo Film Festival, and the other Mandarin films that were signed up at the same time could not pose a threat to Guan Zeru in terms of director level.

Zhao Chen and Ning Shuangxi were so happy that they seemed to have won the prize. Ning Shuangxi immediately took out his mobile phone and sent a WeChat message to Liang Tianyi. Turn around to vent their excitement.

It wasn't until the staff pushed the door open that the two barely changed back to normal.

Before the release of "The Voice Upstairs", several online promotions were carried out. Because of the sensitive subject matter, many local promotion activities were not dared to be carried out, for fear of provoking protests from anti-gay people.Therefore, even Guan Zeru himself is not sure how much box office this drama can get.

However, just because of his fame and connections, dozens of media came to the premiere day, which was as big as his previous commercial films.

It was the first time for Ning Shuangxi to face such a battle, and she was very nervous.Last time Director Tian's "Awakening of Insects" was still a small audience, and it was often dealt with by a few media, but this time it came to Hong Kong, Taiwan, and even Japanese media.

Everyone is full of curiosity about Director Guan's gay movies.It's not that this kind of drama has never been filmed in China, and there are also successful cases, but it has been more than ten years, and the number of official releases can be counted on fingers, not to mention that the investment amount has reached tens of millions.

Before the movie was played, Ning Shuangxi sat on the seat, clasped his hands together, his joints turned white with tension.

He has seen some edited highlights, but he dare not watch it as a movie.He didn't want to pay too much attention to the audience's reaction at the premiere, so that his self-esteem was hurt by the indifferent response in the end.

A gay romance film with a total duration of 95 minutes, everyone was very quiet throughout the whole process, even if Ning Shuangxi's naked back appeared, everyone did not make too much noise.

It wasn't until Ning Shuangxi swallowed a large amount of sleeping pills and rehearsed the wedding ceremony in her own room wearing a white suit in despair and crazily, finally there was a low sobbing sound from the seat.

At this time, the other male lead finally escaped from the blind date meeting, calling Ning Shuangxi while running...

The whole film ends with a fantasy ending.

The theme song "1/2" sounded, and the already sad audience was once again stung by the memories of the people in the film, crying more and more. Fortunately, the director finally cut some funny scenes, which made some People burst into laughter.

Some gay men cried even more empathetically.

Guan Zeru glanced sideways at Ning Shuangxi, and saw that the corners of his eyes were red as expected.Patting him on the shoulder, signaling him to stand up and thank the audience, Ning Shuangxi quickly wiped away the moisture in his eyes with his arms, stood up and bowed deeply to the audience.

Zhao Chen sat in the corner and applauded desperately along with the audience.

At the end of the premiere day, online discussions about this film were like a cold virus, inconspicuous but spreading rapidly.

It wasn't until Ning Shuangxi's MV edited by netizens two months ago was once again excavated by a marketing account that public opinion about this film broke out completely.

"1/2" went straight to the top of the song rankings, even if it couldn't be released in mainland China, because of the commonality of love feelings in the lyrics, music fans gave him his due position.

Ning Shuangxi once again became the protagonist of the hot topic.
