Chapter 13 Addiction



Filming with Lu Jiahong is definitely an immersive experience. We live in factory dormitories and the crew provides food to the villagers after they have agreed on a price.

Even cars cannot get in, so it is impossible to eat three meals a day with lunch boxes bought from the mountain.

The progress in the morning was not ideal, and Liang Yisheng's scene was blocked.

While eating, Xu Yan peeked at Liang Yisheng's face and felt that his face was covered with gray haze. I don't know if it was because the scene was blocked or the meal was not very delicious.

This is the first time Xu Yan has acted with Liang Yisheng. Fortunately, there are no intimate scenes at the beginning. The two of them even looked at each other through the window and did not stand together.

I have a real experience of what it feels like to be suppressed in acting.

He boasts that his acting is not stiff, which is much better than many idols or internet celebrities who overdo their acting. Xu Yan can still make it in the entertainment industry despite his bad online reputation because of his acting skills, but today, when he was put in front of Liang Yisheng, he clearly saw for the first time how far he was from the best actor.

"Teacher Xu, you performed so well this morning. Director Lu blocked the boss four times and he failed, but you passed in two times!" Xiao Yuan has been excited since the crew finished work. With Liang Yisheng as the best actor, he feels that Xu Yan is simply a star from the sky in the film and television industry, and he can beat Liang Yisheng right away!

Xu Yan sighed silently, "Teacher Liang was blocked because of his personal lens. His line was very difficult. If it were me, I would be even worse than Teacher Liang."

"No, actually, it's because I couldn't sleep last night and read some famous stories about Director Lu's previous filming on the forum. It said that a big shot C played opposite a certain young actress Y. It seems that because Director Lu never talks about acting and the young actress was always pressured by the big shot to act, her mentality collapsed and the progress was delayed. She was scolded by Director Lu and her condition was so bad that she canceled the contract and stopped acting." Xiao Yuan came over again and shared mysteriously what he had eaten last night. "But it may also be related to Xiaohua's own unstable mentality! I often feel that you are calm and peaceful, and it is hard to imagine that you would lose your mind because of something."

Although Xu Yan was very happy to leave such an impression on others, he still couldn't help but secretly add in his heart: Calm and peaceful? I would curse Zhou Xinian's encyclopedia information that he would not get a job for a month just because Liang Yisheng gave him resources.

Thanks to Xiao Yuan, the unlucky child, the test of Xu Yan's mentality began in the evening.

Wei Yuan didn't see Qingshu again for a whole day. In the afternoon, he strolled around the village with a cigarette in his mouth and went to several places in the village where Qingshu usually went, but he didn't find anyone. The great writer had no choice but to use the dumbest method, squatting at the door of Qingshu's secret base to catch him.

Qingshu's secret base is a dilapidated thatched house in the village. It has been in disrepair for many years and no one has lived there for three or four years. Rats and spiders are the kings inside. In the summer, the weeds grow here, as if one mouth can eat several mosquitoes and flies. In the winter, it is bare, with sparse yellow grass roots sticking out of the soil.

The shadow of the boy approached crookedly, pretending not to see the smoker squatting at the door, and a stream of smoke drilled into the door.

"Qingshu!" Wei Yuan raised his hand in time and grabbed his waist.

"What are you doing here?" Qingshu asked.

"Stop! Qingshu's tone is wrong." A voice from the other end immediately took over and pulled Xu Yan out of the play.

Xu Yan gestured to apologize, and then the staff and actors resumed their positions. Each time a cut is called, a certain amount of work is required. The actors have to restore their positions, and the cameras, lights, and radios that follow the actors also have to return to their original positions.

Xu Yan took a deep breath and raised his hand again to indicate that he was OK.

"Qingshu!"

"What are you doing here?"

"Stop! Still wrong, don't you know what he is doing here? What are you asking?" Lu Jiahong shouted into the speaker.

Liang Yisheng's hand that was grabbing his waist loosened again, and patted Xu Yan's knee inconspicuously, "Relax."

"Sorry, please do it again." Xu Yan nodded and said to the staff.

Qingshu was grabbed like this and couldn't walk. He felt uncomfortable, and asked knowingly, with a tone of accusation, "What are you here for?"

"I promised you, I will write a book based on you and pay you." Wei Yuan did not stand up, but squatted, looking up at Qingshu. He seemed to have never looked at Qingshu seriously from this angle. The boy in his memory was always thin, with a broken and messy beauty.

"I don't want money." Qingshu tried to grab his hand, "You have never seen the world, and you don't know where to spend the money if you have it."

The atmosphere was desolate.

Only the roots of the grass were left, there were no flies lingering around, the temperature was not hot, and when the two talked, there was a slight mist floating in front of them.

The camera gave a close-up of Qingshu.

The next words were Wei Yuan's surrender, leaning into Qingshu's ear and whispering, "Don't be angry with me. "

Liang Yisheng stood up, and when he leaned over, Xu Yan tilted his head.

Lu Jiahong shouted again to stop.

"Don't move! What are you moving?"

Xu Yan closed his eyes, looking unwilling, "Sorry, director, can we do another take? This time..."

"Take a break for half an hour, Qingshu adjusts his state, the emotions are totally wrong, read the script carefully." Lu Jiahong interrupted Xu Yan, threw down the loudspeaker and turned away.

The script supervisor had already prepared the next clapboard, and after hearing this, he put away the clapboard awkwardly. Lu Jiahong walked away on his own. The script supervisor who was able to speak a little cleared his throat to liven up the atmosphere, "It's okay, Teacher Xu, take a break before coming back. Everyone should relax. It's normal to be in a bad state at night after a tiring day."

Xu Yan just nodded, said thank you teacher, and took the coat and script handed to him by Xiao Yuan.

After wrapping up the coat, he apologized to Liang Yisheng behind him.

Without waiting for Liang Yisheng to speak, he took Xiao Yuan to the rest area on the side.

Cheng Xinlu didn't follow in the evening, but stayed in the afternoon to take a look. She was worried that Xu Yan was not in good condition due to the influence of yesterday's hot search, and was also worried that he could not keep up with these big directors and movie emperors due to Liang Yisheng's pace. Unexpectedly, the filming went smoothly, and Xu Yan was also in good condition. He felt relieved to go back to the dormitory to deal with other work.

Only Xiao Yuan followed by the side, and she didn't follow Xu Yan for a long time.

It was a year ago that Xu Yan signed a contract with Liang Yisheng. At that time, Xu Yan's assistant could no longer be used. With the previous experience, Cheng Xinlu was not confident about the assistants recruited from outside, so she could only borrow Liang Yisheng's people.

Xu Yan sat quietly in a chair reading the script. Xu Yan is definitely not a lively person, but he is not always taciturn. When he is in a relaxed mood, he will take the initiative to make a few jokes with familiar people, but probably because of his ears, he generally won't talk to anyone or join in anyone's topic easily.

If I have to say, he is probably a very plain person, with a heart as calm as water. Xiao Yuan just used this word to describe Xu Yan at noon.

Often you can't tell whether a calm person is hiding sadness in his calmness.

"Teacher Xu..." Xiao Yuan called him softly.

"Hmm?" Xu Yan looked up at her.

"I don't quite understand, but Sister Cheng told me before she went back that many of your little movements are due to your ears, which may affect your filming. Just now..." Xiao Yuan stopped talking here, and her expression didn't look good, like she was anxious and reluctant.

Xu Yan smiled, "It's okay."

"But your performance was never affected by your ear problems during previous filmings. Has your hearing impairment become more serious? Didn't you go for a check-up before the Chinese New Year? The doctor said not to worry..."

"Xiao Yuan." Xu Yan glanced at Liang Yisheng who was walking over here, and interrupted Xiao Yuan before he could hear the two of them talking, giving her a reassuring look, "There's nothing wrong with your ears, don't worry, and don't tell Sister Cheng. Liang Yisheng is coming." Xiao Yuan

turned around and saw the boss who had already arrived. She called him boss, threw down a sentence "I'll go get you a cup of hot water" and turned away.

There was a small sofa next to Xu Yan, but the conditions here were limited, so the small sofa was used by the costume team to pile up clothes. Xu Yan didn't dare to sit up, and sat on a small hard bench. Liang Yisheng didn't care about that, he stretched out his hand to push the mess aside, and sat down directly.

"Are you crying?"

Xu Yan coughed lightly, "No, I'll read the script again."

"I told you not to take Lu Jiahong's scolding too seriously. This is his bad habit when filming. He is nagging himself, but he has a bad temper and likes to scold people." Liang Yisheng was relaxed and spoke in a frivolous tone.

Lu Jiahong's temper was so bad that it was beyond description. It was almost catastrophic. Xu Yan did not intend to compliment Liang Yisheng in front of him. He said tactfully, "Director Lu is very dedicated to his work, but there are indeed problems with the scenes."

Xu Yan paused and said lightly, "Besides, he didn't scold me."

Liang Yisheng curled his lips and understood the implication of Xu Yan's words.

Although Lu Jiahong was not idle, he kept scolding Liang Yisheng in the morning, but the only time he could be called abusive was when he scolded Liang Yisheng for "his acting skills were blown away like firecrackers."

"When I said that, keep your head still. You just made a tiny movement that you couldn't even notice, but Lu Jiahong is best at expressing characters with details. The slightest difference is magnified on the screen and becomes an emotional change." Liang Yisheng's tone dropped.

Xu Yan lowered his eyebrows and closed his eyes, "I know, thank you, Mr. Liang."

"Qingshu." Liang Yisheng suddenly called.

Xu Yan looked up at him and saw the look in Liang Yisheng's eyes that belonged to Wei Yuan. Liang Yisheng leaned over and rested his arms on his thighs.

"Qingshu!" It was the tone of the previous shot.

Xu Yan's Adam's apple rolled fiercely, staring at those eyes, "What are you doing here!"

"I've promised you, I will write a book based on you and pay you."

"I don't want money." Xu Yan turned his eyes away, "You've never seen the world, and I don't know where to spend the money."

Liang Yisheng leaned over here again, his lips almost touching Xu Yan's left ear, sighing, light and itchy, "Don't be angry with me, okay?" Xu

Yan's head was still, his breathing became heavy and chaotic, and after a while he retreated from Liang Yisheng's breath. When he opened his mouth, he almost couldn't help but tremble, "I don't know what angry is, and I've never been angry with you, brother."
