The blood was shocking.

There were also blood drops running down the bedside table and her hands, falling drop by drop on the white sheets, like the cruelest flowers that bloomed in suffering.

The strong visual impact made everyone present want to say something at this moment, but it seemed as if they had lost their voice.

Sun Ming felt guilty but still tried his best to prove to everyone that his mother was a madman: "Can any normal person write with blood? Only a madman can do this. How can a madman say that he is not crazy? She dares to scratch herself now I dared to scratch your neck with my hand in the middle of the night, so stop being such a good person!"

These words made everyone present frown.

I couldn't hear any concern for my mother, but I just wanted to take her away.

Several doctors and nurses all stood in front of Grandma Sun, and even more clearly stated their attitude to prevent Sun Ming from approaching.

The doctor said directly: "Sir, please calm down first. Our hospital naturally respects the patient's wishes. As for the patient's mental problems you mentioned, we will also conduct detailed examinations. Please don't get excited."

Sun Ming's expression was different. He became more and more vicious: "Stop meddling in other people's house affairs! Otherwise, you won't know how you died!"

It was similar to a threat, but if he said such words alone, so many people present would not be afraid of him.

Shang Lu looked at him with his hands folded across his chest, and retorted directly: "With your mother's attitude, I don't even know how she will go to hell after she dies like a beast."

Ye Lu also clenched his fists and almost couldn't bear to ask. Said: "Can we really not beat him?"

And at this moment, there was a knock on the door.

A policeman in police uniform stood at the door and took out his ID: "The Imperial City Public Security Bureau is receiving reports from the public that someone here is suspected of human trafficking. Please cooperate."

*

In the ward on the other side.

Xiaozhi's legs were covered with gauze, and he sat on the bed timidly. He said: "Grandpa has a diary, in which he keeps accounts and everyone's information."

This is not an ordinary account, every entry is his The "favorable fee" you get when you work as a middleman records the information of children and buyers, in order to prevent memory errors and later disputes.

The policewoman sister immediately gave her colleagues a look, and then continued to ask Xiaozhi: "Is there anything else you can tell sister? The more Xiaozhi says, the more people like Xiaozhi's mother and grandmother can be rescued ."

Xiaozhi nodded.

*

When the police arrived at the scene, the filming of the program was interrupted and irrelevant personnel left the scene.

The next matter will naturally be left to the police and the law, and it is not their turn to worry about it.

The program crew's car is waiting outside.

The car rarely prepared some snacks and tea and drinks for everyone to calm everyone's mood.

The director and Song Zeqian first apologized to other guests and some unknowing staff members, saying that although they had made preparations, there was still the possibility of putting everyone in danger.

Lin Yanyan was stunned for a long time before she came to her senses: "You mean, you have known about this for a long time?"

"Mr. Song has known about it for a long time. We only found out when we contacted Teacher Song to plan this filming. "The director said with some embarrassment and rubbed his head: "We were hesitant at first, but no one can stand this kind of thing, so we just..."

"Good job!" Ye Lu slapped him. On the director's shoulder, there was a rare admiration in his eyes: "I didn't expect the director to look so cowardly and still have some determination to do big things, allowing us to participate in such a meaningful thing."

Jiang Jing also smiled softly: "Yes, I I think it’s good, and it’s a good ending.”

Xu Ze nodded in agreement.

Lin Yanyan even asked directly: "Are we still recording? I'm so hungry. If not, I'll treat everyone to dinner. I just checked and it takes half an hour to drive to a Western restaurant that my family has newly invested in. In this branch, everyone can eat as they please, don’t be polite to me.”

The staff members shouted in unison: “Thank you, princess!”

Shang Lu shouted, “Princess is a beautiful person!”

The staff members naturally followed her.

Lin Yanyan smiled so hard that her eyes were crooked, and she waved her hand: "Everyone has a free lifetime card!"

Ye Lu's head turned and shouted: "Long live the princess!"

Lin Yanyan said expressionlessly: "Get out of here, I Don’t be an old goblin.”

Both the guests in the car and the staff outside the car burst into laughter.

But because Lin Yanyan's restaurant was quite far away from here, everyone still found a restaurant nearby and ate.

But I didn’t expect that this inconspicuous-looking restaurant tasted pretty good.

On the dinner table.

The topic inevitably returns to today's matter.

After everyone exchanged a few words, they fell silent. It was obvious that no one wanted to talk about this heavy topic again.

Song Zeqian said directly: "Okay, I'll give you three days off. Go back and have a good rest. Then think about your script and roles. Do you understand?"

Everyone nodded.

At this moment, a group of chickens, ducks and geese suddenly walked in at the door.

Lin Yanyan rubbed her eyes: "Good guy, have I left the village yet?"

Why are there still such poultry everywhere?

It was the restaurant owner who explained to them that he lived not far away and raised countless chickens, ducks and geese, as well as a dozen pigs and a large fish pond. The meat and dishes they ordered were basically freshly killed.

Jiang Jing praised: "They are all fresh, no wonder they taste good."

Ye Lu's eyes suddenly lit up.

Wait, he knows how to complete the task.

Ye Lu suddenly stood up and pulled the boss aside. Then the boss waved and called a waiter, and the two of them disappeared from everyone's sight.

No matter how everyone called, Ye Lu didn't look back and even ran away.

Everyone: "?"

Shang Lu looked at the boss and asked, "What did he just say to you?"

The boss had a troubled look on his face.

Shang Lu glanced at Lin Yanyan. Lin Yanyan understood, stood up and said coquettishly: "Boss, please, just tell us~"

The boss's face turned red, and he betrayed Ye Lu without any hesitation: "I don't understand either. That young man suddenly said he wanted to see our pigsty."

Everyone: "???"

Song Zeqian was very direct: "Is he crazy?"

Lin Yanyan stood up immediately and suggested, "Let's go and take a look."

No one knew what medicine was being sold in Ye Lu Gourd.

But after Meng Li heard the word "pig pen", his face turned ugly for a moment, and he didn't know whether to swallow or spit out the food in his mouth.

Since Lin Yanyan suggested this, everyone came together, including other staff members and Meng Li.

The director even asked the photographer to turn the machine back on, and his keen intuition told him that the next material might be interesting.

After all, this recording has not been going on for too long, so if we can include some interesting tidbits, it can be considered as feedback to the fans.

After walking for about ten minutes, we arrived at the hotel owner's pigsty.

More than a dozen pigs are kept separately in a row of pig pens, and you can smell an unpleasant smell when you get close.

But these pigs seemed to be in good spirits, snorting and wagging their tails.

Not far away, next to Ye Lu, there was a pig that was two laps fatter than the others, and he was talking to the proprietress who was responsible for taking care of these poultry: "It is the most docile, right? Okay, thank you.

" Seeing everyone coming, Ye Lu showed a confident smile and climbed onto the pig at lightning speed.

Everyone: "?"

Song Zeqian shook his head: "He is really crazy."

And the next second, something even weirder happened.

Ye Lu unexpectedly slowly knelt down, put his hands on the pig's body, and did a handstand.

The pig walked forward slowly, and his body was swinging in the air, as if he might fall down at any time the next second.

Everyone: "?!"

There were bursts of screams, accompanied by Lin Yanyan's startled shouts: "Ye Lu? What are you crazy about?"

Although this pig is not very tall when he stands, he will not fall down. No matter what, the visual impact is still very strong.

Ye Lu's body could no longer maintain balance, but the moment his body fell, he still seized the opportunity to lie on top of the pig, holding the pig with both hands.

The lady boss on the side was also frightened.

Ye Lu originally just told her that he wanted to ride a pig, but why did he suddenly start performing acrobatics on the pig?

Ye Lu looked at the director and asked, "Did Shang Lu scream just now? Was it more than a hundred decibels? Eh? Hey, don't leave!"

And the pig seemed to be tired, and was usually too lazy to move, not to mention that it was still full of blood. Carrying someone on his back, he walked directly back to his oversized pig pen and sat down on the ground.

Ye Lu was also carried into the pigsty by it.

Director: "..."

They were all frightened just now, and their attention was all on Ye Lu. No one cared whether Shang Lu screamed or not.

What's more, they didn't continue recording, so why did Ye Lu still remember this mission? !

Just when the director team didn't know how to answer, Shang Lu had a look of helplessness on his face, but he still said: "Well, I screamed. It was very loud and should be louder."

Ye Lu felt proud for a moment, but he confirmed again: "Then Have I completed the task?"

Shang Lu continued to nod: "Yes, yes, it's done. Come down quickly and let the pig go." Ye

Lu stood up and patted the pig on the head: "Thanks, buddy!"

He closed his eyes, obviously not wanting to talk to him.

Boring humans.

Ye Lu let the pig go and walked towards them.

As he got closer, everyone smelled a strange stench.

Lin Yanyan covered her nose and looked behind Ye Lu in shock.

Every step he took, there was a strangely colored footprint.

The corners of Song Zeqian's lips twitched and he reminded: "Ye Lu, you stepped on pig shit."

The scene burst into laughter.

Song Zeqian looked at Meng Li and said the classic four words: "We are here."

The atmosphere became silent.

Everyone knows about Meng Li’s “heroic deeds” practicing in the chicken pen these days. Song Zeqian’s meaning is also very obvious, so Meng Li might as well check and accept the results now. After all, his role in the play is to have “close contact” with pigs. , just staying with the chickens is not enough.

Meng Li knew even more.

Song Zeqian had already talked with him two days ago. Because of the role, if he couldn't overcome his disgust or even fear of this kind of thing, he would definitely be exhausted to the point of mental breakdown during the official filming.

Lin Yanyan enthusiastically helped Meng Li and the landlady: "Can you let him ride a pig too?"

The landlady was a very nice person. Although she didn't understand why these people had such strange hobbies, she still smiled and agreed: "Okay. Ah."

Mongli mustered up the courage to step forward and look at the pig lying on the ground. The only thing left in his nose and mind was the stench of the pig pen.

He tried hard to keep his eyes from falling on the pig and not to look at the disgusting excrement that had not been cleaned up on the ground.

Fortunately, fortunately, this pig is still clean.

Mongli stretched out one leg and wanted to sit astride the pig.

At this moment, Lin Yanyan's voice sounded in surprise: "Ye Lu, did you get it on your pants too? Eh... so disgusting!"

Ye Lu also shouted: "Fuck!"

Meng Li: "... "

Mongli is still holding one leg high in the air. At this moment, he doesn't know whether he should let it fall.

After a few seconds, he still couldn't get over the hurdle in his heart, so he bent over and retched crazily.

The pig looked at him with some disgust.

He stood up, turned around, and stayed in the corner, facing him with his butt.

So much so that Mengli saw it very clearly, there was a lump stuck to it -

ugh! ! !

Mengli vomited out everything he had just eaten.

Everyone: "..."

So miserable.

But it seems that there is no progress.

After Meng Li finished vomiting, he was helped aside to rest.

His face was pale, but he looked up at Song Zeqian under the comfort of everyone. His voice was trembling, but he still made a decision: "Director Song, I...I may not be able to play this role."

Lin Yanyan's eyes widened. Look at the picture in front of you.

Everyone else was in disbelief.

As actors, no one can understand Meng Li's decision at this moment.

Only Ye Lu grinned and patted Song Zeqian on the shoulder: "Hey, you were eliminated! Don't cry!"

Song Zeqian ignored him, but looked at Meng Li and asked: "The reason? Because you feel that you can't overcome the physical vomiting. "Reaction?"

"Yes, and more than that." Mengli closed his eyes and continued: "The more I read the script these days, the more I feel that I am not similar to this character, and I can't find the best one for him. In terms of acting, I have never been confident in presenting this character. Just because it is your movie, I felt that I could not miss this opportunity, so I came. But now, these two kinds of pain are stacked together, not just physically, I feel. My spirit also fell into extreme anxiety. Sorry Director Song, I really want to star in your movie, but I also don’t want to be the only failure in this movie. This is not an impulsive decision, but a decision I made after careful consideration. "

He said it extremely sincerely, with regret and helplessness in his eyes, but he did not waver.

For a moment, no one knew what to say.

Because everyone can see that even after he really tried his best, he still felt that he was not qualified for this role, and there was no point in trying to persuade him.

Shang Lu was able to empathize with Meng Li.

Just like some time ago, she really wanted to take on Han Cheng's new drama, but because it was not the most suitable role for her, she finally refused.

A good actor must be willing to make some decisions.

Song Zeqian can also understand what Meng Li said.

Especially in recent days, Song Zeqian discovered a fatal problem after getting along day and night. The magnetic field between Meng Li and Shang Lu seemed to be wrong. To put it simply, there was no "chemical reaction" between the two of them standing together.

But for these two characters, the most important person is each other. There should be a "symbiotic relationship" between them that seems to dislike each other on the surface, but is actually subtle.

But the relationship between Shang Lu and Meng Li did not achieve the effect he wanted.

In fact, Song Zeqian said before that he would let them rest for three days in order to give Meng Li and Shang Lu some time to train alone. He wanted to see if there was any way to change the current situation.

But now that Mongli has taken the initiative, it proves that his psychological defense has collapsed, and it is useless to force training at this time.

So Song Zeqian was silent for a while and said: "I respect and respect your choice."

"Huh?" Lin Yanyan became the person in the creative team who had "confused" written on her face, and asked directly: "Shouldn't we start filming soon? Are you changing now? Who is it?"

Jiang Jing also looked at them with uncomprehending eyes.

The start-up is about to start, where can I find a more suitable candidate now?

Song Zeqian said nothing.

Because in his mind, he just had a very suitable candidate for a moment, but because he thought it was too ridiculous, he couldn't even mention it directly.

Song Zeqian's silence was also embarrassing to others.

However, when he looked at Ye Lu for the third time, Ye Lu touched his arm: "What do you think I am doing? I don't have any actor friends to introduce you to you."

Song Zeqian closed his eyes.

Whatever.

There are so many good actors in the world, it's impossible for him to find someone suitable to play the second son.

But in his mind, countless actors' faces flashed through his mind, and the one that finally stopped was the one he least wanted to see.

In the end, Song Zeqian seemed to have accepted his fate.

He looked at Ye Lu with a serious expression: "Are you considering acting?"

Everyone: "?"

What does Song Zeqian mean?

Ye Lu: "...?"

Is there something wrong with his ears or is there something wrong with Song Zeqian's brain?

"I won't consider it." Ye Lu refused without hesitation, and even complained about Song Zeqian: "How many times have I told you that I am an idol and will not act? You are an actor who has to run away before filming starts and seek medical treatment in a hurry."

Shang Lu naturally knew that Song Zeqian would never treat his movie so casually. There was only one possibility for him to say that, he was serious.

Shang Lu asked tentatively: "Because the scene where he just rode a pig is a bit similar to the scene in the script?"

"More than that." Song Zeqian replied: "On the way here, I also saw a video of him acting like a big name. The collection is also very similar."

Everyone: "..."

Good guy, unexpected reasons have been added.

Ye Lu immediately defended himself: "Don't talk nonsense about my reputation. Those things all happened for a reason!"

Obviously, Song Zeqian didn't care whether he was really making a big deal, and continued: "Remember the episode about True and False Friends? Is it because Ye Lu made me make a mistake in judgment, that day I realized that superficial stupidity can confuse truth and falsehood, and the character setting of this character was finally decided. "

And the most important thing is that between Ye Lu and Shang Lu. The chemistry between them was right, not quite to the level he wanted, but there.

Ye Lu's arrogance and wantonness, Shang Lu's perfunctory cooperation, every movement and silence, the combination is just right.

Everyone was silent.

It sounds like this character just appeared for Ye Lu.

Ye Lu: "You called me stupid?"

Song Zeqian: "..."

Is this the point?

Ye Lu scratched his hair and said, "Thank you, but I still don't want to act."

Song Zeqian couldn't understand and asked him directly: "Why are you so resistant? Do you hate acting?"

"No," Ye Lu thought. After a while, he looked a little confused but still said: "Actually, I don't understand much, but everyone says that idols should not act. I am the most qualified idol. Of course I must abide by this rule and cannot let the fans down. "

Song Zeqian refuted Ye Lu's statement: "What people hate is never the idols who act, but the idols who are useless in both singing and dancing. They use the stage that others dream of as a springboard, and switch careers to acting after gaining traffic. If they are criticized for their poor acting skills, It's almost normal to explain that he is an idol, but when he is scolded on stage, he will say that he has changed his career to an actor. He wants to take advantage of both sides and does not put in effort on either side. "

Ye Lu: "! "

Is that so?"

Others: "!"

Song Zeqian is really good at scolding.

Song Zeqian continued: "If you can not only sing and dance as an idol, but also have a successful film and television project, then you will be even better. As long as you can do well, your fans will not be angry, they will only regard you as Rong, I am proud of you."

Ye Lu: "

Oh no, he started to feel excited.

Others: "!"

It turns out that Song Zeqian's mouth can not only curse, but also draw pictures.

In fact, Ye Lu still didn't quite understand what Song Zeqian said, but as long as he thought that fans would be proud of him, he couldn't resist the temptation of these words.

Ye Lu said: "It's okay, but I've never acted before. Can I do it?"

Shang Lu also looked at Song Zeqian with some concern.

To be honest, she still doesn't quite understand Song Zeqian's current decision.

No matter how you say it, Ye Lu has never filmed a single day of filming. Although the role of the second son has the least amount of scenes, he is still one of the protagonists. Especially the biggest difficulty in performing this character is the hierarchy of good and evil. Now that Song Zeqian has chosen Ye Lu, can Ye Lu's performance really satisfy him?

If you replace the candidate with a new one in the future, it will waste more time.

Song Zeqian looked at Ye Lu and said, "I believe in myself."

Ye Lu thought for a while and said, "I can give it a try, but it must not affect my stage if I am filming."

Song Zeqian said directly: "I can do it at any time. Negotiate."

Seeing Ye Lu nodded, Song Zeqian said directly: "Everyone, the break is cancelled. I will arrange for someone to send your luggage. Now everyone comes with me and the training begins."

"

Huh? Isn't this a bit too sudden?

So that day, everyone got on the bus to the villa arranged by Song Zeqian.

The photographer held up the camera and asked, "Director, can I still have this?"

The director laughed and said, "Keep it and give it to them as a gift when the movie is released."

*

The next morning.

Everyone had a good sleep after the heavy training, but when they woke up, they saw Song Zeqian, whose eyes were bloodshot, and Ye Lu, who was reading the script and praising him repeatedly.

Ye Lu's voice was full of surprise: "No one told me that this is a villain boss. This is so cool. I want to play it!"

Everyone: "?"

The second son is a villain boss? What is Ye Lu talking about?

Lin Yanyan pulled Shang Lu's sleeve and complained in a low voice: "Don't talk about acting, he doesn't even understand the script, right?"

But Song Zeqian looked at them and said: "You don't have a script with you, right? It just so happens. , I’ve prepared new ones for you.”

There are still several scripts on the coffee table.

Song Zeqian is reminding them to read the script here.

Everyone immediately picked up one copy and looked through it, and everyone was silent.

Because the script they see now is different from what they have always seen.

But all the changed parts are on the second son, adding countless psychological descriptions to him.

The script contains psychological descriptions, which is a mistake only beginners make, and it was obviously Song Zeqian's deliberate decision.

And coupled with these psychological descriptions, the second son was actually turned into a villain without any major changes in the plot.

Shang Lu: "..."

She suddenly understood the red bloodshot eyes and dark circles under Song Zeqian's eyes. He must have been up all night before revising this "new" script.

Let Ye Lu play "evil" with "goodness", and his lack of acting skills has become an advantage. In the eyes of the audience, the "goodness" that he tried hard to cover up with "evil" was revealed unconsciously, and he bluffed to hide the evil from others in order to protect his family.

Whether it is the first or second brush, it will feel reasonable.

It perfectly solved their biggest problem when casting.

Ye Lu is actually the most suitable candidate for this role.
