Chapter 53 Chapter 53 He can only be Cen Xue’s friend forever…

Cen Xue also immersed herself in the role, and was very efficient. Even if there was a NG, Liu He would understand it immediately.

For an amateur, this is simply a gift from God, but of course it is also influenced by the difficulty of the role.

He enters and exits the role quickly. For him, this is simply a necessary state of performance to integrate into the crew environment. He is in control of the switch. When he leaves the scene, takes a break, and leaves the environment, he naturally takes off the role.

But Lu Yanxi's situation... is a little different.

He demands higher standards, more perfection, and perfection.

The only way is to integrate the background of the character "Sheng Tianque" into your own soul.

After the script was revised, the contradictions and conflicts in him became more intense.

Sheng Tianque has no one he can trust. He stands too high. Being the best in the world is a position that everyone desires. Inviting companions is tantamount to exposing his own weaknesses to others.

This also leads to an extremely high failure rate throughout the entire process.

When Sheng Tianque first discovered that he could reincarnate, he was ecstatic with a lingering fear, because this meant he had more opportunities to try and fail.

It's like foreknowledge, avoiding the mistakes of the previous life.

But he forgot one thing: the flapping of butterfly wings can alter the trajectory of fate. Changing one thing meant more unknowns awaited him. Even more difficult to erase was the fact that not everything could be changed by a mere mortal like him. Failure engendered an urgent desire for success next time, and thus, an obsession.

An obsession is like a scar carved on the heart, getting deeper and deeper.

The greatest hero in the world is always worthy of benevolence and righteousness.

But the hero with only one move left cannot save everyone's fate.

For example, the death of the mute slave.

In his first life, the mute slave was a passer-by. Later, when he met the innkeeper again by chance, he learned that the inn had been destroyed that night and the mute slave had died in the ruins.

Being able to move forward in this desert was also thanks to the blanket of the mute slave. In the second life, Sheng Tianque decided to be more careful and ask for help if necessary. However, the mute slave was concerned about the little girl who was being escorted in the fight, so he did not listen to him and was killed together with the little girl.

In the third life, Sheng Tianque also helped the little girl, asked the innkeeper to take them both to escape, and continued his journey. However, in the first town he entered after leaving the desert, he heard a new story from a storyteller: a little boy, a child, was tricked by an ogre and chopped into eight hundred and eighty pieces. It was horrifying!

It turned out that the guy was an ogre lurking in the inn.

He was the one who harmed people.

In the fourth life, Sheng Tianque ignored the mute slave's struggles and took him away alone. The mute slave thought he was an ordinary person like himself, just a little faster and stronger. They had seen the faces of the waves of people in the inn and could not escape the fate of being hunted down. The mute slave died earlier than him because he stood in front of him first.

Then again, again, and again.

Sheng Tianque was not without the determination to ignore it or bypass the inn, but without this hurdle, he still had many difficulties to overcome, otherwise he would not have died so many times. However, every level was difficult, and what he did not expect was that even the first level was difficult.

His fate is to die, and it seems that as long as he can change the fate of others, he can prove that he can save his own.

Obsession and persistence, madness in an instant.

The hero is troubled by his past affairs and can never reach the tenth day of the first lunar month.

Sheng Tianque's ending is open-ended. When emotions and obsessions exceed a certain limit, one becomes devoid of desire, a dead heart. He has a premonition that this time he won't be resurrected, so he casts aside all distractions and watches with aloofness, never nurturing further obstacles. He watches the inn collapse, avoids the strife caused by the little girl, and disappears at the edge of the desert before the full moon sets.

In the last shot, Liu He left a suspense.

A man wearing an exotic blanket helped up an old man who had been swept out.

At the same time, a voice-over curses: "You old fool, you said you have a medicine for longevity, I think you are crazy!"

As to whether the medicine is real and who the person covered in the long blanket is, there are different answers.

Therefore, it is not difficult to understand why Lu Yanxi’s condition is getting worse and worse.

If the plot continues to develop in this way, it will only get worse.

But for some reason, during the filming of this movie, he, who has always been self-sufficient, actually affected other people.

"If you're like this in every movie you make, no wonder someone filmed you going to a psychiatric hospital."

Lu Yanxi knew that Cen Xue actually had some worries when she said this, and she sighed lightly, but he couldn't control his cold reaction, and didn't want to get angry with Cen Xue, as it looked like they had a disagreement.

"Don't you know how damaging it is to your health to adjust it?"

Cen Xue pushed Lu Yanxi, who was half-squatting, to sit on the ground.

Panpan watched Cen Xue leave Lu Yanxi and be taken back to the rest area by Xiaoda, but it was difficult for him to visit and chat with her without any hesitation as before.

She felt that during this period... Brother Lu and Cen Xue were in a cold war.

I don’t know when it started.

Suddenly one day, the two of them started talking less and less.

She knew that Brother Lu was immersed in the role, but she was afraid that she couldn't figure out what Cen Xue was thinking -

If they agreed to keep their distance so as not to affect each other, it would be fine. But if she was dissatisfied with Brother Lu because of this... Sigh! She had no right to help explain! Wouldn't it look more like taking sides?

Especially that Fu Rouyun.

She had searched for information related to Cen Xue before, so it was inevitable that she would come across him.

I originally thought he was quite handsome, but who knew he was actually Brother Lu’s competitor.

But the more they have a good relationship, the more it makes Lu Yanxi look silent and miserable.

"Brother, drink some water, and there's a fan..."

In the end, Lu Yanxi just took the water.

The severed hand in this scene needed special effects, so Lu Yanxi's left hand was wearing a specially made green glove. Unexpectedly, he was still immersed in the play. He usually took it with both hands, but today he only used his right hand.

Panpan followed him with big strides, looking worried.

Alas, I have gone astray, alas!

It gives me a headache just looking at it, never mind.

Her family focuses on art and not love, so there is nothing she can do.

…

As autumn approaches, the crew's filming has reached the middle to late stages.

The filming was not done in the order of the plot, but according to the scheduling arrangements of the unified scene. However, "The Great Hero" uses a reincarnation system. Not only are the personnel in the same scene different each time, but the personnel status is also different. It doesn't seem very convenient.

Cen Xue's last scene was actually a family-friendly one.

After all, movies should have emotional ups and downs, and a certain amount of relaxation will help the viewing experience.

In a certain life, the mute slave and the little girl were successfully rescued by Sheng Tianque, but he used his last trick and his time was running out.

In the end, it was the mute slave who became the healthiest and strongest of the three.

At night, the little girl stayed in the courtyard of a family in a remote town. She was hungry, so the mute slave cooked her a small bowl of vegetarian noodles and two bowls of noodle soup, wanting to share it with Sheng Tianque.

But when I touched Sheng Tianque, I found that he was dead!

He was immediately covered with a white cloth. Thinking that Sheng Tianque was hungry when he was "alive", the mute slave poured the noodle soup onto the ground with tears in his eyes.

Then he held the little girl and asked her to sing a mourning song.

The mute slave could only sing "ahhh", but the girl was small and couldn't find the tune either. She sang out of tune countless times. The mute slave was stubborn and wanted to correct his mistakes. For a moment, it was like two mutes were casting a spell in the air.

Then, a hand with gnarled veins stretched out from under the white cloth...

Sheng Tianque gritted his teeth and pulled it away: "I'm not... dead yet!"

It's just that his breath is too weak, better than dead.

I finally got some sleep, but was woken up by the funeral-like howling of ghosts and wolves.

As soon as the director called "Cut", Cen Xue and Yuan Yuan, who played the little girl, had tears on their faces, as if they were caught off guard by the zombies.

There were two more bangs, and Panpan and Xiaoda fired the salute.

Amidst the flying streamers and applause, Liu He said, "Congratulations to Cen Xue on finishing the filming!"

Fu Rouyun prepared for a long time in the back and presented a bouquet of flowers to Cen Xue.

It’s an old tradition of wrapping up the filming.

I don’t know if it was out of selfishness, but the bouquet was designed with exquisite layers and it was extremely beautiful. If you count carefully, you can find that there are nine roses in it.

The flowers set off the person very well. At this time, the mute slave's makeup was not so rough because he had walked out of the desert and was taken care of by Sheng Tianque, which made Cen Xue look more delicate and pure.

Yuanyuan hadn't realized it was the end of the filming. Seeing everyone applauding, she suddenly sang with tears in her eyes: "Brother Maomao, happy birthday to you."

The end of the words trembled as the tune went on.

Everyone laughed even more happily.

Cen Xue hugged Yuanyuan and lifted her up into the air.

From beginning to end, Lu Yanxi didn't force himself to appear before Cen Xue. He blended in with the other actors who were congratulating him, clapping silently.

But he knew that his expression at this moment was probably the most relaxed he had been in recent times.

After the wrap celebration, Cen Xue held a bouquet of flowers and thanked everyone. They shook hands or gave each other a brief hug until he turned around and saw Lu Yanxi.

“…”

Whenever he felt that Lu Yanxi had become somewhat unfamiliar because of her role, this man would inexplicably reveal a pitiful side of him.

It's like the softness beneath the cracks of a hard shell.

However, Lu Yanxi was originally a gentle and easy-going person.

Someone once said that his eyes were the most affectionate. Even when he was staring at a dog, his eyes were full of affection and love.

The role of Sheng Tianque almost drained the emotions from his eyes, but this was also a challenge he chose to break through. This time, when he suddenly turned around, Cen Xue suddenly felt that his spring water had not completely dried up.

Because of whom?

Cen Xue knew it very well.

In the end, he softened his heart, reached over Lu Yanxi's outstretched hand, and took the initiative to hug her.

"Wait until you're done filming," he said. "Tell me if you have anything to say. You know what I want to hear."

After hearing this, Lu Yanxi only hugged him tightly for a second in the limited time.

Cen Xue didn't have time to remove the flowers, and when they separated, a rose petal fell on Lu Yanxi's clothes.

He wanted to take it off, but Fu Rouyun put his arm around his shoulders and took him away.

Lu Yanxi looked at their intimate backs and could vaguely hear Fu Rouyun's cheerful proposal.

"I've reserved a table. Shall we have a nice dinner tonight?"

"I'll live with you when I get back, okay? Hehe, starting a business isn't easy, please support me..."

Thinking that she would see them living downstairs from her later, Lu Yanxi closed her eyes.

The last time Cen Xue finished filming, it was clearly him who sent the flowers.

Because of his mistake, he would never have the chance to walk openly beside Cen Xue again.

Lu Yanxi panted softly and hid himself in the crowd. He found Panpan and asked her to tell Liu He to postpone the next shoot for a while.

He got into his nanny car and curled up in the seat. This time the pain in his back was more obvious than ever, as if it were yesterday.

The nanny car was pitch black, just like he could only be Cen Xue's friend forever, in a dark corner.

*

Cen Xue took a good rest and adjusted herself.

The place where they lived was downstairs from Lu Yanxi's house. The city where they lived was originally the base of a major entertainment platform, so the Fu Entertainment Company was also located here.

Fu Rouyun's dream of continuing to live together still failed. I heard that there were some contractual conflicts in the recruitment procedures, and he was too busy every day and was nowhere to be seen.

That's normal.

After all, the industry is not short of intrigue and deception, and there are many examples of artists being required to pay sky-high liquidated damages.

Concentrating on acting for a long time is indeed very tiring. During this period, Cen Xue's most common activity every day was lying down.

Occasionally go out to bask in the sun and post a status to show that I am still alive.

Because he has signed with the company, fans are already looking forward to the next step.

Cen Xue didn't dare to look closely at this, for fear of accidentally giving a thumbs up. As for the next job... he could only say, it depends on fate.jpg

Agent Zhou Hang said she had a few commercial guest appearances, but it wasn't necessary. She was also in talks about one or two scripts. He asked Cen Xue about her future career: variety shows or acting? Did she want to continue being an idol?

Cen Xue has read Zhou Hang's work materials.

All the trainees this person is interested in talking to are underage.

If he really wanted to go, Fu Rouyun would probably force him to take center stage, but following a bunch of kids? He'd be more like a father.

Variety shows...are also an unknown area.

Today, by some strange coincidence, she finally entered this circle. Cen Xue couldn't say how passionate she was, but she actually had a strange sense of security that she was on the right track.

"Brother, please pay more attention to the good script."

He didn't hate acting, but he didn't pursue it as passionately as Lu Yanxi did. Cen Xue had always been a top student since childhood, with basically no obvious weaknesses. Acting was one of the more outstanding aspects among his average grades.

He prefers to do things that are more certain.

Zhou Hang, holding a cigarette in his mouth, looked at his face and couldn't help but sigh: "Wise choice."

Speaking of Lu Yanxi.

After the filming was completed, Cen Xue never went to his house again.

Although it is only a short distance between the upstairs and downstairs, it feels too invasive to enter and exit openly without the owner's permission.

His family had a special hourly worker who cleaned the house and fed the pets. Occasionally, Cen Xue could hear the sound of cats and dogs' paws scratching against the ceiling.

After Lu Yanxi finishes filming, he should be contacted specifically.

However, one rainy night while they were waiting, Fu Rouyun happened to rush home in the rain and brought some dishes from a restaurant that Cen Xue liked.

Just as we were about to start, there was a knock on the door.

Cen Xue opened the door and saw Zhang Yan, whom she hadn't seen for a long time.

"Xiao Cen!" Zhang Yan was anxious. "Can you help me?"

Cen Xue was surprised: "What?"

"Yan Xi removed the battery from the door lock, so no one can get in. He hasn't been in the right shape since he finished filming. I'm afraid—"

"Brother, who is it so late?"

Seeing Fu Rouyun coming out from behind Cen Xue, the entrance of this house was very spacious, and there was still enough space for two adult men to stand side by side.

Zhang Yan, who has always been attentive to details, noticed the exquisite and rich dishes on the dining table diagonally behind them, and the TV was turned on. The variety show that was playing emitted canned laughter from the family. The combination of smell and hearing made her feel that she was disturbing a family's leisurely and relaxing evening.

As for Fu Rouyun, she certainly knew him, the famous prince of the Fu family.

They poached a key talent from Yanjia Entertainment.

I didn't expect to see him standing next to Cen Xue with half-wet hair and wearing the same loose pajamas.

I knew they had a good relationship, but I never thought it was this good.

Zhang Yan took a step back: "It's okay... Did I disturb you?"
