Chapter 72 This role is really suitable for Yu Lan, who usually has a blank expression.
The weather is getting colder. In the summer, I disliked the heavy ancient costumes, but now I think they are too thin.
The biting cold wind blew in from all directions on the corridor. The three main actors of "A Leisurely Journey in the World" were squatting in a corner, rubbing their hands to keep warm.
Jiang Huai exhaled, and a hazy whiteness spread out in his eyes: "It's really cold."
He lived in the south during his childhood. After his debut in a talent show in his previous life, he basically stayed in Beijing except for filming in Hengdian.
The dry cold in the north is an objectively low temperature, which is completely different from the magical cold of winter in the south. It’s a bit hard to get used to it after not being there for many years.
Jiang Huai glanced at Shao Ling who was hiding behind Ji Mingche to block the wind, and shamefully hesitated for a moment whether to join in persecuting his colleague.
But before he could come to a conclusion with his inner struggle, Director Li Min called out, "Come here, the three of you!"
"Wasn't it originally planned that we would be filming the Nine-Layered Underworld Palace scene the day after tomorrow?"
Jiang Huai nodded obediently.
"Lu Diao sprained his ankle yesterday and told us about it in the group chat. Did you see it?"
Shao Ling nodded obediently.
"His foot still hurts a lot today, he went to the hospital, and just sent me a message saying it was a fracture. I asked other groups but couldn't find a suitable person, so let's put this part off for later."
Ji Mingche nodded obediently.
Lu Diao was an actor brought up by Li Min. She sighed in disappointment: "Oh, really. Forget it, let's just make do with it for now."
Director Li Min, who was feeling sad and alone, saw that the three of them were like robots, just nodding and saying it was okay, and he felt more and more melancholy.
If only Lu Diao was so well behaved and didn't suddenly cause trouble for her... This kid really should be taught a lesson!
"Or do you know any actors who are free to guest star these days?" Li Min asked, "A man, about 1.8 meters tall, good-looking and with decent acting skills."
Jiang Huai recommended before Ji Mingche: "Yu Lan seems to be free recently."
He was afraid that Li Min had forgotten who Yu Lan was, so he helped her recall: "It was the one who came to visit me for the first time. He was very handsome, and you even asked him if he wanted to act in the play."
Li Min had indeed forgotten about Yu Lan a long time ago: "Oh, it's him. I'll ask him after today."
Ji Mingche, who originally wanted to recommend someone he knew in the circle, shut his mouth silently.
Three days later.
"I didn't expect to meet you for the third time." Shao Ling said in a magical tone.
Ji Mingche nodded and said, "Hello."
Why is Shao Ling's tone similar to Li Feiyu's expression at the fan meeting? It's not good... Thinking of this, Yu Lan's face was calm, and she only showed a very faint smile: "See you again."
Yu Lan’s special role this time is You Yu, the guardian of the Nine-Layered Underworld Palace.
The Nine-Layered Underworld Palace is a relic left behind by the decisive battle between the ancient great demon Chi You and the Demon King ten thousand years ago. After the decisive battle, both Chi You and the Demon King died, and the surviving demons built it into a palace to commemorate Chi You. But later, the human and demon split, and the demons left the human world and returned to the demon realm. This place also became a restricted area, with only guards watching over it all year round.
The Guardians are demons transformed from Chi You's heart. They are the only ones in the family from generation to generation and inherit the memories left by their predecessors. They are incompatible with the demons and do not need to abide by any of their rules.
Therefore, even when the current Saint You Miao came, You Yu did not give the three protagonists a good look.
According to Jiang Huai, this role is very suitable for Yu Lan, who usually has a blank expression.
After Ming Xian told him at Yichunlou that he smelled like a demon, You Miao blew up his truck and took off his vest.
"So what's the point of you being the Saint of the Demon Clan?" Ming Xian muttered secretly, "I thought the guards would respectfully welcome you when they saw you... Why are they so cold to us?"
You Yu hesitated for half a second, You Miao frowned and said, "Don't bother me."
The building structure of the Nine-Layered Palace was intricate and complex. "Nine-Layered" was a very realistic adjective. God knows how the previous demons designed it. The guard was not a tour guide, he was only responsible for bringing them in.
You Yu stopped, turned around and said, "We're here. Please make yourself at home."
——The background sound is wrong.
Ming Xian looked up and saw dozens of poisonous arrows coming towards the four of them: "Be careful!"
He quickly dodged to the right, but it was just an appetizer and the real danger was at his feet.
The obsidian floor of the Nine-Layered Underworld Palace suddenly broke, splitting into two cliffs. Ming Xian stood on the edge of the cliff and looked down. The abyss in the middle was a bottomless black.
On the other side of the cliff, Yan Chen and You Miao, who had also just escaped death, looked at him in shock.
"...The Infernal Hell, the Nine Layers of Mysterious Netherworld." You Miao murmured, "So that's what it means."
"It's a completely shoddy project and must be given a bad review," Shao Ling said indignantly.
Ji Mingche ignored her usual chatter and asked director Li Min: "Actually, I still don't quite understand why Mingxian and Youyu are grouped together in this segment? Isn't it that You Miao, as the Saint of the Demon Clan, has a closer relationship with Youyu?"
"Because actually I want to compare Chi You and the Demon King." Jiang Huai said.
Li Min gave him an affirmative look, signaling him to continue, so Jiang Huai continued: "Ming Xian, the reincarnation of the Demon King, and You Yu, who was transformed from Chi You's heart, did not repeat the past when they broke up with their friends. Even though they were just strangers who had just met, they were able to cooperate to clear the dungeon."
"That's right. Then think about You Yu's character design?" Li Min asked with a smile.
Yu Lan said, "You Yu has a predetermined mission and past memories, so he can only stay here. Only during the time he was with Ming Xian, he was truly 'You Yu', not the guardian of the Nine-Layered Underworld Palace."
He looked at Jiang Huai: "So for You Yu, after saying goodbye to the protagonists, his duty forced him to watch over the Nine-Layered Underworld Palace, but his heart was watching over Ming Xian."
Why did it feel like this was a weird statement? Shao Ling winked at Ji Mingche, but the latter was completely a piece of rotten wood that could not be carved.
Ji Mingche thought for a moment: "But he knows that Ming Xian is the reincarnation of the Demon King? How could he not have any grudges?"
"Because Ming Xian didn't consider himself the Demon King... although at this time he didn't even know that he was the Demon King."
Jiang Huai tapped his wrist twice: "In his eyes, all beings are equal. He is just Ming Xian, and everyone is just themselves. Maybe this is what touched You Yu?"
"I think that's OK."
Screenwriter Kong Ao, who had been listening to their discussion of the plot, said, "But from my perspective as a scriptwriter, You Yu did have a low initial impression of Ming Xian because of this."
"If You Yu were to choose, he would definitely hope that Ming Xian was just a human, free and unrestrained, doing whatever he wanted, rather than a demon king who had to bear responsibilities like him."
"...Are you leaving?" You Yu asked.
"Yes, we have got everything, why are you still staying in this shabby place?" Ming Xian said nonchalantly, "Do you want to come with us? There is nothing worth guarding in this Nine-Layered Underworld Palace, right? Aren't you bored by yourself?"
You Yu heard his heart beating, it was the throbbing of yearning. However, this heart belonged to the keeper, not him. You Yu: "No."
He lowered his head, hiding his somewhat lonely expression: "I was born as a caretaker. There's nothing wrong with being here." It's just that it would be better to watch the prosperity of the four seasons in this world with you...that's all.
Ming Xian said, "Okay, okay. We'll come back to see you when we have time. See you next time!"
So You Yu smiled again: "Well, see you next time."
"Alright! Our Xiao Yu has finished filming successfully!" Li Min checked the final save results and confirmed that everything was correct. "Thank you for your hard work! Thank you for coming to substitute this time!"
And she didn't even ask for any remuneration. What a good kid! The more Li Min looked at Yu Lan, the more satisfied she was. In her heart, she cursed Lu Tiao again for going down the stairs and sending her to the hospital.
If only Lu Diao could be as well-behaved as Yu Lan... Alas, other people's children are still better.
"No need to thank me." Yu Lan said with a smile, glancing at Jiang Huai beside her, "I am also very happy to be able to participate in the performance. I also want to thank Jiang Huai for recommending me as a substitute."
He exchanged a few more pleasantries with Li Min, and the director finally let them go to say goodbye to the actors they had acted with in the past few days one by one. Jiang Huai followed beside them like a mascot.
After going around and saying goodbye to everyone, Yu Lan stopped in front of a camera and finally looked at Jiang Huai who had been with him until now: "Then I'm leaving."
Jiang Huai hummed. In the play just now, it was Ming Xian who was leaving, and now in reality, it was Yu Lan who was leaving. The scenes were reversed, but what remained unchanged was that he still did not feel sad at all for the upcoming separation.
He smiled easily and said, "Okay, see you next time."
So Yu Lan smiled again: "Well, see you next time."
What do you mean by see you next time? I'll see you when he finishes filming and comes home. Jiang Huai sent him to the door of the crew, and Yu Lan's control was transferred to the system. 819 started to take a taxi and the high-speed rail home in a one-stop service: [Wake up, we don't even have to wait until you finish filming and come home. ]
Jiang Huai is puzzled: [? ]
[Yu Lan has a magazine shoot the day after tomorrow, you have to find a way to split your mind.] 819 said gloatingly, [Go to work, host.]
[Very good.] He pulled the corner of his mouth, [I work two shifts for myself and Yu Lan, and you work three shifts for yourself, Chu Yuanqing, and Bernard. I'm not tired at all.]
Now he became angry and embarrassed and turned into 819.
December 22nd.
From July 14 to today, the long five-month filming period has finally come to an end. I didn’t expect that the wrap-up banquet would be this Zui Ji Pot again… Hengdian’s food desert is really worthy of its reputation.
"Cheers!" Li Min drank the wine in one breath, "I wish our "Leisurely Wandering in the World" a smooth review! A smooth promotion! A smooth broadcast!"
It happened to be the winter solstice, and at the wrap-up banquet, everyone was given a dumpling. Jiang Huai ate it in one gulp, and suddenly bit into a round hard object. He didn't expect that he would be so lucky.
He ate the rest of the dumplings first, then bit the coin with his teeth to show it to others. After Shao Ling expressed genuine envy and Ji Mingche pretended to be envious just to give him face, he continued eating.
[You are showing off!] 819 manipulated Chu Yuanqing to cook at home. He simply ate a bowl of wontons. Compared with the full table of dishes, he looked so miserable. He gritted his teeth and said, [New Year's Day is coming soon. You can cook for yourself when you get home!]
Jiang Huai was wrapped in a thick down jacket and scarf, with a rosy face. He smiled and greeted the fans who came to the airport to see him off: "Thank you for the letter, but I won't accept the gifts. Wear more clothes and keep warm in winter. Be safe on the road when you leave later... I wish everyone a happy New Year in advance! Of course, I will also broadcast live on New Year's Day!"
