Chapter 201 Our respective June
The intense and fulfilling training time passed in a flash.
The six leading actors devoted themselves to the work wholeheartedly, training from dawn to dusk every day, sweating profusely while practicing various movements and techniques.
Under the careful instruction of the martial arts instructor, everyone's martial arts routines went from being unfamiliar and clumsy to being proficient and fluent, and they gradually mastered the essentials of the movements.
After going through these days of hard work and struggle together, the relationship between them has quietly become much closer.
During breaks in training, the six people would exchange ideas or share interesting stories from life, and the tacit understanding and friendship among them quietly took root.
Especially the three girls, their way of getting along can be described as a model of "love and hate". They were inseparable and sweet in the last second.
The next second, they were arguing with each other over a trivial matter and refused to give in to each other. The men were confused and said they couldn't understand girls' friendship.
As the day of the official start of filming of "Chinese Paladin III" arrived, supporting actors gradually gathered in Hengdian from all over the world, and the whole crew gradually became lively.
Due to the heavy filming workload, directors Li Guoli and Zhao Shiyao considered and decided to divide the six leading actors into two groups to ensure the efficient progress of the filming.
On this day, it was the turn of Hu Ge, Yang Mi and Liu Shishi to shoot an indoor scene.
Li Guoli stood in front of the monitor, his eyes fixed on the screen, his expression focused and serious, as he carefully watched the performances of several people.
The plot of this scene is full of ups and downs. Jingtian, Xuejian and Longkui were accidentally captured by the fox demon Wan Yuzhi.
Jingtian fought a battle of wits and courage with the fox demon and won the rock-paper-scissors game. He thought the fox demon would let them go.
But the cunning fox demon went back on his word and forced Jingtian to choose between Xuejian and Longkui, so that only one woman could live.
In front of the camera, the actress who played the fox demon Wan Yuzhi had strange and seductive makeup and a cold tone, urging Jingtian, played by Hu Ge, to make a decision quickly.
One is his blood-related sister, the other is the lover of his heart. They are both flesh and blood, and Jingtian can’t let go of either of them. No matter who he chooses to die, he can’t bear to let go.
Hu Ge's brows were furrowed, his face full of confusion, and he portrayed Jingtian's complicated and tormented mood at the moment perfectly.
The knife prop slowly fell down, flashing cold light, and the sharp blade seemed to be about to pierce the skin at any moment.
The two beauties, Yang Mi and Liu Shishi, were immediately frightened and shouted in unison, "Let me go!"
Hu Ge was very anxious and blurted out: "No, no, no, no!"
Just when Hu Ge was in a dilemma and hesitant.
Tied up by ropes and unable to move, Liu Shishi frowned slightly, looked at Hu Ge with eyes full of pity, and whispered timidly: "Brother, please let me sacrifice myself"
Hearing this, Yang Mi immediately turned her head and stared at him with her lively eyes, with an expression of disbelief: "You actually sacrificed yourself!"
Liu Shishi pretended not to hear and added softly, "Brother, save Sister Xuejian."
Yang Mi refused to be outdone and yelled at Hu Ge, "No, choose me. I am a female hero who is not afraid of death. You save your sister."
Liu Shishi's expression was speechless at this moment, and she said firmly: "If my brother asks me to sacrifice, I am willing."
Yang Mi looked anxious: "Stinky tofu!"
Liu Shishi looked aggrieved: "Brother!"
Hu Ge was forced to make a choice, gritting his teeth and shouting, "I choose Xuejian!"
Yang Mi was stunned at first, then her brows lit up with joy; Liu Shishi had a look of surprise on her face, which was complicated and difficult to discern.
The fox demon seemed to be deliberately making things difficult for her, and asked, "Have you decided to choose her?"
Hu Ge had a bitter face and almost collapsed, shouting: "No, I choose her to die!"
Yang Mi's eyebrows were raised, her eyes were wide open, and she was extremely angry. However, Liu Shishi's eyes were wide open, and there was a flash of surprise in them.
"Click! Stop." Director Li Guoli shouted into the walkie-talkie.
Inside the studio, several actors were suddenly interrupted and looked at each other in confusion, not knowing why the director called a halt.
They had NGed this scene several times. Either Liu Shishi couldn't hold back her laughter, or Yang Mi said the wrong lines, and Hu Ge also made mistakes twice.
The performance just now was their best ever. Everyone did it in one go without any obvious mistakes, and they all performed at their best.
Li Guoli touched his chin. He watched the performance on the screen. Although there was nothing wrong with it, he always felt something was wrong.
The director didn't understand the problem for a while. At the shooting site, Yang Mi was thoughtful and had a deep understanding of the shooting just now.
There has always been a subtle atmosphere of competition between Xuejian, played by her, and Longkui, played by Liu Shishi.
In front of the camera, the two of them were smiling and talking happily, like good sisters who cooperated with each other, but in some delicate performance moments, they were secretly competing with each other.
Just now, Liu Shishi was wearing a flowing blue dress, with gentle and firm eyes. The soft and cute "brother" she said just now should have expressed her deep attachment to her brother, but it also seemed to hide some subtle thoughts that were not easy to detect.
But when Yang Mi heard it, she had a different feeling. She felt that Liu Shishi's calling of "brother" was pretentious, and inexplicably gave her a bit of a "bitch-like" feeling of disgust.
Looking at the extremely innocent expression on Yijie's face, she felt even more angry and wanted to punch her in the face as she pretended to be ignorant, so that she would stop looking like that.
"That vixen really has some tricks up her sleeve." Yang Mi bit her back teeth and muttered to herself.
Turning around, he saw Hu Ge with a silly smile on his face, and he was furious: "Old Hu, Shishi's two charming calls of "brother" just now must have confused you, are you still alive?"
Hu Ge was stunned and touched the back of his head unconsciously. A trace of embarrassment appeared on his face. He scratched his head and stammered, not knowing what to say.
Liu Shishi was possessed by the spirit of drama at this moment, her bright eyes were full of sincerity, and she said aggrievedly: "Xuejian, don't bully your brother, if you have any anger, come to me."
The surrounding extras all covered their mouths and laughed. Although they didn't have many parts, they were on the set all day, and they could feel the subtle atmosphere between the first and second female lead.
Yang Mi rolled her eyes to the sky, lowered her voice, and said sarcastically: "Shishi, if Mr. Song knew about you calling someone brother, he wouldn't be angry, right?"
"You!" Liu Shishi was speechless for a moment after being hit precisely in the vital point by Yang Mi. What she cared about most was Song Ci, and she felt a little regretful when she thought about it now.
I was just being playful and overacted a bit. My lines were too coquettish. It would have been bad if Mr. Song had known and gotten jealous. Fortunately, the director stopped me in time.
Li Guoli had already figured out the problem, picked up the intercom, and said in full force, "Attention all departments, let me say this again. Shishi, please control your emotions, and don't act so deliberately in your expression or tone."
Liu Shishi stuck out her tongue, made a face, calmed herself down, adjusted her state, and seriously prepared for a new round of filming.
The crew of "Chinese Paladin III" was busy and orderly, carrying out the filming work in an orderly manner.
Time is like quicksand on your fingertips, and in the blink of an eye, it is quietly late June.
The summer sun is as hot as a raging fire, baking the earth golden. The air is filled with the sadness of parting and longing for the future that are unique to graduation season.
In this emotional season, Song Ci returns to the Peking University campus again.
After a year, his mood has changed a lot, he is calm and reserved. Walking in the garden, the scenery of Yanyuan remains the same, with bluestone and red walls, simple and quiet.
Song Ci walked slowly along the familiar path, through the lush tree-lined avenue. With every step he took, fragments of his past schooling flashed through his mind, as if he was reuniting with his past self.
The teaching buildings, library, and Weiming Lake that carry his youthful memories have stood quietly and guarded there for many years.
After walking around the campus, Song Ci went straight to the office of Qin Chaoyang, the head teacher, and knocked on the door.
"Song Ci, how come you have time to come to school today?"
When Qin Chaoyang, who was originally busy at his desk, saw that the person entering the office was his most proud student Song Ci, he dropped the pen in his hand with a look of surprise.
Taking a closer look at the student whom I hadn't seen for a long time, Song Ci was wearing a clean white short-sleeved shirt on the upper body and simple jeans on the lower body.
With a neat and tidy haircut, he is still as sunny and handsome as ever, but seems more stable than before. He has completely shed his youthfulness and has acquired the temperament of a business leader.
Song Ci didn't bother to be polite with the head teacher. He just sat down on the sofa and jokingly said, "Teacher Qin, are you not welcoming me?"
Qin Chaoyang poured tea for the guests and laughed: "How can I not welcome you? Chairman Song rarely comes back to school, so you are a rare guest."
After handing the teacup to Song Ci, Qin Chaoyang patted him on the shoulder, his eyes full of satisfaction and pride: “You have done a great job this year, and your career is developing in full swing.
At the beginning of the month, the news of Tengda Group's relocation ribbon-cutting ceremony was all on the Beijing evening news. I saw it all. You are now getting to know and interact with big leaders. You are really young and powerful."
Song Ci responded modestly: "It's all because of the leader's kindness. You are not bad, old teacher. I heard that you are an associate professor now."
Congratulations on being promoted to associate professor. After years of hard work, you have taken a crucial step in your academic career. "
Speaking of this, Qin Chaoyang smiled happily, his eyes unconsciously cast towards a brand new appointment letter of associate professor on the table. He received this honor at the age of 36, and he has a bright future ahead of him.
The master and the apprentice talked back and forth, and after a while of praising each other, Qin Chaoyang smiled and said, "I almost forgot the main thing. You came back today to visit your old classmates who are about to graduate, right?"
Song Ci nodded slightly, a hint of nostalgia flashing in his eyes. He came back today to visit his brothers in the dormitory.
I accompanied my classmates from the 2004 Finance Class to take graduation photos, making up for the little regrets in my university life and putting a perfect end to my youthful life at Peking University.
Qin Chaoyang smiled knowingly: "I guess you, a busy man, came back today just for this matter.
Our class has decided to meet at the library at 3pm, and I will take photos with you then. Go back to the dormitory and see your roommates first, and we will see each other later. "
After a warm conversation, Song Ci said goodbye to his head teacher and went to the dormitory.
The dormitory was quiet and peaceful in the afternoon. When Song Ci returned to dormitory 310, his three roommates were all busy in the dormitory, just like their daily routine.
Lin Hao has always been afraid of heat. He wore a small vest, with his round and fleshy arms exposed, and there were a few drops of sweat on his forehead.
Sitting at his desk, he searched the Internet for stock market information. After graduation, he went to work at Song Ci's Shanhai Capital, and now he seemed to be in the capital battlefield.
Tang Xiaochuan is still the same as he has been for thousands of years, immersed in the sea of books. He has been qualified for postgraduate study and will continue to study at Peking University.
Lu Yuguang was busy packing his luggage in a corner of the dormitory, preparing to return to Ice City first. He was admitted by the Industrial and Commercial Bank of China in Peking, and would stay in this big city of Peking to settle down and work hard in the future.
Song Ci stood at the door, feeling a little dazed for a moment, as the scene before him seemed to overlap with this time last year.
This was the scene last year when he sent Liu Shishi to her dormitory before meeting Principal Zhou. It is really the same year after year.
Lu Yugang had sharp eyes and spotted Song Ci quietly entering the dormitory. He raised his voice in surprise, "Ah, the fourth one is back. Fatty, Xiaochuan, the fourth one is back."
Upon hearing this, Lin Hao and Tang Xiaochuan put down what they were doing, looked delighted, and stood up to give Song Ci a warm hug.
"Come back and have a look. Let's have a good gathering as brothers tonight." Song Ci looked around leisurely. The dormitory still smelled the same and was clean and tidy.
"Okay, okay, okay!" Lu Yuguang was so excited that his successful brother could come back to see them that he was a little incoherent.
Song Ci sat on his bed, called the three people over, and started chatting with his roommates.
"When will Brother Gang officially start working at ICBC?"
Lu Yugang was strong and powerful, and he became stronger and stronger. He dragged a chair over and sat down in front of Song Ci, grinning and said:
"I will report on July 10. I will go back to my hometown to spend time with my parents, and then rent a house near my workplace to start a new life."
Song Ci nodded slightly, and after a little thought, he said, "My uncle is the vice president of the ICBC Peking Branch. I will tell him when the time comes and he will take care of you."
In Song Ci's view, his three roommates are all top students of Guanghua School. Although there is a big gap between him and them in their careers now, their future is bright. If he invests in this friendship early, it may be of great help in 20 years.
When Lu Yugang heard this, he was so excited that he couldn't express it in words: "Old Four, you are really my brother! If you have any questions in the future, just let me know."
During his internship at a bank in his senior year, he had already experienced the harshness of society. Although Peking University students are the chosen ones, they still need to go through hardships and setbacks if they want to reach a high position.
Now he has the support of the deputy branch president and a strong supporter like Song Ci. He thinks he is quite capable and has a hope of becoming a branch manager in his early thirties.
Looking at Tang Xiaochuan who had been quiet the whole time, Song Ci smiled and asked with concern: "Xiaochuan, what major did you choose for graduate school?"
Tang Xiaochuan smiled and said concisely: "Macro finance."
Song Ci nodded thoughtfully and suggested, "Build more relationships with your old classmate. He is now an associate professor, and the school and college leaders value him very much.
If you want to be successful in the academic field, you still need a help from someone. The academic world also values social etiquette. You should go out and about during festivals and holidays.”
Knowing that Song Ci's words were from the bottom of his heart, Tang Xiaochuan nodded solemnly and responded: "Thank you, brother! I know."
"What about me? Fourth brother, why don't you care about my future?" Seeing that Song Ci didn't seem to want to speak again, Lin Hao suddenly became anxious and pretended to be angry and yelled.
Song Ci was amused by Fatty Lin and chuckled, "You help me manage Shanhai Capital, how can I treat you unfairly? We can discuss specific work matters in the company later."
Lu Yugang looked at the time, slapped his thigh and suggested, "It's getting late, let's change clothes and take some photos with Lao Si. Let's go to Weiming Lake and Boya Tower to take photos as a souvenir."
Everyone echoed the sentiment, changed into their bachelor's gowns, and went to Yanyuan to take pictures of the magnificent scenery.
Listening to the wind by the pond, the shadows of leaves are swaying, it is midsummer.
Four years have passed, and Song Ci's time at Peking University has officially come to an end. I don't know when I will step into this campus again, but I only hope that the friendship we have at this moment will never fade.
