Archimedes angrily hit Mount Buzhou

This is Qianshan, where there are actually many birds.

Although it is a scenic spot, it is located in a remote small county town and there are no big hotels like Yuntu. The crew booked a few hotels and B&Bs, and everyone just stayed there.

New Year's Eve is coming soon, but the crew has no plans to take a holiday. At most, they will move the scenes around to give those who want to go home two days to have a New Year's Eve dinner.

It just so happened that Lu Xinyang, Wen Zhuo and Yu Han were all from Shangchuan City, and it was very quick for them to travel back and forth, so of course they all had to go back.

In order to squeeze out this little vacation, the three of them worked together to catch up on the progress, and Gao Jian was so happy that he couldn't stop smiling.

But others don't think so. The crew wants to catch up with the summer broadcast schedule. Not only is the filming crew busy, but the editors staying in the hotel are also busy. The opening alone was cut into several versions according to the director's wishes.

Because the pressure is so great, it is said that some people have started growing watermelons in pots in their rooms with air conditioners on.

"Can it be grown? A watermelon is bigger than the entire flowerpot, right?" Lu Xinyang asked curiously.

"Yes, you can plant small melons in a small pot. They are about the size of a fist and still have hair. They taste very sweet." Ji Rongyu said as he picked the bones of the chicken feet in his hand.

He now lives in a homestay and finally has a kitchen that he can use freely. These days he cooks for himself and makes delicious meals in different ways.

But... he said he was making it only for himself, but Lu Xinyang and Tang Lin slept across from him. When they didn't have to go to the set, these two would rush to the kitchen to wait for Ji Rongyu, wishing they could eat and drink for him three times a day.

At this moment, Lu Xinyang held the script in one hand and leaned on the kitchen counter with the other. He was not reciting the lines, but using it to cover his mouth which was stealing food.

Ji Rongyu put the boneless chicken feet and cut jellyfish cold skin into a sealed glass jar, then poured in the prepared hot and sour sauce and mixed it evenly.

The strong survive and the weak are spoiled.

Lu Xinyang watched the can of boneless chicken feet being put into the refrigerator. He quickly swallowed the braised duck gizzards in his mouth and asked, "Is this ready? How long do I need to keep it in the refrigerator?"

"It depends on when you want to eat it. Actually, you can eat it now, but it's better to eat it overnight." Ji Rongyu took off his gloves while speaking. "Have you memorized the whole process?"

"Remember, first remove the tips of the chicken feet, then put them in water and cook them. Add ginger, onion, garlic, cooking wine, and Sichuan peppercorns to the water. After cooking, soak them in ice water..."

"You need to rinse the chicken feet with water first. Put the hot chicken feet directly into ice water, and the ice water will quickly turn hot."

Ji Rongyu taught very carefully, not missing any small steps. Lu Xinyang also listened very carefully. He even took out his mobile phone to take notes.

Ji Rongyu washed his hands, stretched his muscles, and slowly massaged his wrist, which was swollen and painful from signing in. "But it's New Year's Day, are you really going to give your parents such ordinary spicy and sour chicken feet?"

"I'm not you. This is already difficult for me!" Lu Xinyang said righteously.

"After all, I've returned home this year with great success. Previously, the encyclopedia only had introductions of my dad, mom, and uncle, but now I can be added as well. Furthermore, my encyclopedia was created for me by my little fans, unlike those employees who created it!"

Lu Xinyang proudly said: "The love that the little fans give me is genuine love, while their employees just love the salary they pay them!"

After accepting the reality, Lu Xinyang quickly learned to enjoy it. Beating is love and scolding is care!

It's true love, so what if it's a little heavy? There's always a price to pay! There's a lot of philosophy in this!

"So happy?" Ji Rongyu glanced at him with a half-smile, his eyes sweeping over his lips that were red from the spicy braised duck gizzards. "Why don't you ask your parents to check out your super topic too, so they can share the fun."

"You can't watch this," Lu Xinyang shook his head decisively, "I can't let them know that I have a bunch of wild moms online."

"Let me correct you," Ji Rongyu said, "They are not your Meiya mother, but Meiya's sister. They claim to be your scumbag female fans, looking at your face and laughing at your stupidity, and they will definitely not spend a dime on you."

"Wow, they've gone too far, really too far. Don't I have any dignity?" Lu Xinyang held the script in front of his face with a look of deep sorrow. With his other hand, he quickly opened the lid of the pot and stole another piece of duck gizzard and stuffed it into his mouth.

Hiss, it's a little hot, but it's really delicious! Even if he has to do hundreds of push-ups tonight, he won't stop!

A hand reached out and snatched his script away. Ji Rongyu sneered, "You stole my food right in front of me, and you were so happy about it. It's hard to tell you're someone who cares about face."

"This is different!" Since he was discovered, Lu Xinyang simply continued eating without hesitation, and did not stop until his mouth turned red and his cheeks were bulging.

The useless script was casually put aside. Ji Rongyu, who had already turned away, turned his gaze back and leaned over to look at the pile of red and blue words on it.

"Have you... memorized all your lines? Why are you analyzing other people's characters?" Ji Rongyu flipped through a few pages and found that Lu Xinyang had circled the lines of a minor supporting character who had no rival scenes with him at all, sometimes with a triangle and sometimes with a question mark.

"Because I don't understand it." Before Ji Rongyu mentioned the name of the minor character, Lu Xinyang knew who he was talking about. It was obvious that he had been troubled for a long time.

Lu Xinyang licked the marinade off the corner of his mouth, washed his hands, and picked up his script: "If you hadn't written this, I would have suspected that the script was wrong."

"Look, this guy named Bai Qingze, isn't he Bai Qingheng's cousin? They are obviously brothers, and the elder brother only likes painting. They don't have any conflicts. Why would he want to harm his brother?"

"If you have something to say, come out and talk. Why are you smelling bad in the kitchen?" Ji Rongyu didn't answer him in a hurry. He went back to the room to change clothes first, and Lu Xinyang followed him in.

When Lu Xinyang was in Yuntu, he had to take the elevator down more than ten floors if he wanted to visit someone else's room. Now that the two of them lived so close, even chatting on WeChat became a troublesome way of communication for them. If they had anything to say, they could just speak a little louder in their own room so that the other person could hear them.

Ji Rongyu's room was as tidy as ever. He never took his clothes out of the suitcase and hung them up. He always took them out when he wore them, cleaned them, and folded them back after wearing them.

He changed his coat and hung the one he took off outside to get rid of the smell. Then he sat down to answer Lu Xinyang's questions: "Give me the script."

Lu Xinyang was originally lying on his bed. Upon hearing this, he turned over and revealed the script that was pressed under his stomach.

The role of Bai Qingze was added temporarily due to various reasons. He did not appear in the original novel of "The Trapped Color", and the script only gave him lines of environment and a small amount of action. The degree of completion of the role depends on the actor's own understanding and design.

Lu Xinyang had not received any professional training, so it was indeed not easy for him to understand a character so different from himself from just a few lines of dialogue on paper.

Ji Rongyu took a pen from the table, flipped through the script, and then marked a few inconspicuous paragraphs.

"Look at it this way, do you understand what he means?" Ji Rongyu said, "If you still don't understand, think about the difference between his parents and Bai Qingheng's parents."

Lu Xinyang pondered it carefully for a long time, and suddenly understood: "I understand, he is so greedy. Bai Qingheng is obviously very good to him, but he is jealous of other families because his family is poor."

"Why did you add this kind of character? It's so annoying." Lu Xinyang took Ji Rongyu's pen and crossed out Bai Qingze's character name.

"This plot was added by Sister Xiaoqing. There were some bugs and unclear things in my novel, and I didn't know how to fix them, but she used this character to create a branch line and filled in the gaps."

Ji Rongyu explained that from the screenwriter's perspective, characters are not divided into good or bad, they all serve the plot.

"Besides, Bai Qingze is also pampered by his parents. It's just that he has to compare himself with others, which makes him unbalanced. He is not a purely bad person."

Ji Rongyu tried to help Lu Xinyang deepen his understanding of different characters, but Lu Xinyang just tutted his lips and revealed an expression of pity and relief: "So he's so miserable, that's really pitiful. I can forgive him now."

"Wait a minute," Ji Rongyu felt something was wrong, "Why is he so miserable?"

"Hold him in the palm of his hand," Lu Xinyang emphasized the key point. "Just think about it, Tathagata Buddha held Sun Wukong in his arms, but Sun Wukong was toyed with by him and couldn't escape. He was also suppressed for five hundred years. Isn't that miserable!"

Ji Rongyu: “…………”

Ji Rongyu looked at him with an indescribable expression, his emotions were so complicated as if he had seen Archimedes angrily hitting Mount Buzhou in the myth.

Lu Xinyang didn't know how to read other people's expressions at all. He was so bold as to touch Ji Rongyu's hair, which had never been messed up before. "You story writers must be smart. You can come up with such a tortured character."

"He's not... Never mind. Sister Xiaoqing probably doesn't want to hear you praising her intelligence at this level." Ji Rongyu didn't dodge the thief's hand. He was only curious about one thing: "Can you tell me how you grew up?"

He originally thought that Lu Xinyang was the kind of rich second-generation who was too well protected by his parents. Because he had not experienced much, he had such a unique way of thinking.

But judging by his current behavior of being continuously out of touch with the normal people, he could only have been launched into outer space and raised at birth, otherwise the earth's water and soil would not be able to support such a pure-blooded fool.

When his eyes met Lu Xinyang's sparkling eyes, Ji Rongyu just thought that he was silly and cute, and he wanted to scoop his eyes again and again.

Lu Xinyang had no self-awareness at all, and even felt a sense of accomplishment when Ji Rongyu looked at him with such a focused expression: "I grew up eating. Is it true that your family only eats noodles and steamed buns? But you are not from the north."

Looking at this guy who didn't know how to appreciate his blessings, Ji Rongyu felt a long-lost jealousy in his heart. He touched his coat pocket to make sure he had the key, then pulled Lu Xinyang out of his bed.

"Come on, go shopping with me. I can't carry it by myself."

"what are you looking for?"

"Buy the duck and then braise it." Ji Rongyu said.

Lu Xinyang gestured in surprise: "Such a big pot is not enough?"

"not enough."

"Then can I have a few more bites of the meat I brought back?"

Ji Rongyu smiled slightly: "Don't even think about it."
