Chapter 012
The two people who were being talked about by netizens had already sneaked away in the blind spot of the camera, but the film and television city had fixed cameras, and after the director team found something wrong, they quickly captured the two people.
When the new live broadcast screen appeared, everyone saw that the two new generation handsome guys were hiding in a small park near the reporting point. Because of the railings and gardening, it was indeed difficult to see that there were people here at once.
[Damn it, I get it. Isn't Xie Yinlan hard to fool? That's why Chu Xinrou proposed a win-win proposal of exchanging topics. They are too smart! ]
[Wait, wait, wait, what does the previous part mean? I don’t understand.]
[They must be the sisters who just came in. Chu and Xie's group said they wanted to swap topics, but Chu is a girl and is more likely to be pinned down. Xu and Chen are now squatting and surrounding them.]
[But there are four people in Xie Yinlan's group, and Xu Jingning and the others are separated from the instructor.]
[Oh, they are all smart people. They are not exchanging their own topics, but the topics of the other two groups. So someone from Xie's group must have left to look for clues from Xing's group! ]
While the barrage chat was going on, Chu Xinrou had already entered the newsstand with the two students from Xie Yinlan's group. There was no surveillance inside, so the audience couldn't see what happened. They only knew that when she came out again, Chu Xinrou was frowning and in a bad mood, and Shen Luo and Xin Yao surrounded her exit route.
Chu Xinrou said, "You just saw it. Sister Zhou Zhou and the others' theme is correct. We agreed to a one-for-one exchange. You can't cheat."
Shen Luo smiled and said, "How can you say I'm playing dirty? It's just a temporary increase. Tell me the topic of your group. When Teacher Xie and the others come back, I will share it with you as promised."
Xin Yao also pursed her lips and smiled sweetly: "It's a win-win situation. Wouldn't it be great if everyone gets 300 votes? And if we don't let you go, how can you meet up with your teammates?"
Chu Xinrou stopped talking. Seeing her suffocating look, Xin Yao and Shen Luo had no intention of giving in.
Just when they were caught off guard, two sneaky figures approached step by step. Chu Xinrou turned her head, and Chen Zi and Xu Jingning, who received the signal, quickly grabbed one of Shen Luo's arms. At the same time, Chu Xinrou took advantage of Xin Yao's surprise to clamp her hands and handcuff them behind her back.
Chu Xinrou looked thin, but she was quite strong. She leaned on Xin Yao's shoulder affectionately and said in a teasing tone, "Sister, don't underestimate the enemy."
Xin Yao tried twice but failed to break free. Now she was the one who was suffocating.
Shen Luo, who was also controlled at the side, was too frightened and couldn't control his expression for a moment. He shouted at the two people behind him: "What are you doing!"
"Hey, aren't we here to cooperate properly?" Xu Jingning smiled, but the strength of his hands did not decrease at all. "Aren't you going to increase the stakes? Then let's have a good talk."
So, when Xie Yinlan and another student came back, they saw their two children surrounded by three bullies.
The corner of Xie Yinlan's mouth twitched.
"Thank you, Teacher. You are finally back." Xu Jingning was still smiling and well-behaved, but what he did was not very happy. "I have been waiting for you for a long time. Since we all have a win-win attitude, why don't you talk about your topic first."
After all, she is a senior who has experienced many ups and downs. Xie Yinlan said calmly: "Cooperation requires sincerity. I can't see that you want to cooperate well. Let the person go first, and then we can talk."
"Sorry, Mr. Xie, Xiao Chu has already provided a correct answer. We don't dare to take the risk. After all, you were the ones who kidnapped people first." Chen Zi picked up the camera and shook it, "I took pictures of it all."
In order to prevent the guests from contacting each other privately, all electronic devices were confiscated before entering the film and television city, but Chen Zi's camera was left behind because it only had a simple shooting function. Unexpectedly, it would come in handy in this place.
[Let me clarify, our Chen Chen is a real photography fan. He brought his camera with him when he heard that he was going to the film and television city today. He didn’t know the process in advance, and it was impossible for him to predict what Xu Jingning would come up with on the spot. ]
[I laughed so hard that I almost died. I was wondering why Xu Jingning stared at Chen Zi's camera for so long. It turns out he was preparing a move.]
But Xie Yinlan didn't seem to be easily persuaded: "After completing the mission, we need to go back and gather together. You can't keep them detained forever, right?"
"But if we stay here, we can always prevent you from getting close to the newsstand, right?" Xu Jingning had expected all this. He pretended to be helpless and said, "Besides, it was you, Teacher Xie, who proposed a win-win situation. In fact, there is nothing to lose by not cooperating. We have already guessed the themes of the remaining two groups."
Xie Yinlan still held on to a glimmer of hope: "If that's the case, why do you still want to cooperate with us?"
"Because each group can only guess once, there is no room for error. Isn't this because we hope you can help add a layer of insurance?"
Having said this, Xie Yinlan could only sigh and said with a helpless smile: "Okay, let's go in."
Xu Jingning and the other two walked behind. Before entering the newsstand, Chen Zi whispered to Xu Jingning, "When did it say that you can only guess once?"
Xu Jingning winked playfully: "All's fair in war."
[Good fellow, Xu Jingning, do you have any surprises that we don’t know about? ]
The two groups here created a lot of topics and completed today's task in a playful manner. When they returned to the designated location together, they found that the other two groups that gave up the additional tickets had already started to rest.
"Hey, the busy man is back." Weekend Moto was sitting peacefully with a glass of sparkling water. "What did you gain?"
"Three hundred votes! Three hundred votes, right?" Before Xu Jingning could reply, Xiang Yuan answered first, "We can't be the only group to suffer!"
"Ah, well, let's keep it a little mysterious for now. We'll know when the time comes." Xu Jingning walked over to Xiang Yuan and sat down. "However, why did you guys come back so early?"
"Ha, we tanked." Xiang Yuan complained, "After all, we are not as smart as some people who can guess the theme of other groups right away."
Xu Jingning: "I didn't say I guessed everything."
Xiang Yuan: "Hmm??? Which group is wrong?"
Xu Jingning smiled: "Guess."
Xiang Yuan: "...Tsk, if you don't want to tell me then don't tell me."
After all four groups of people arrived, today's recording will enter the final stage. Finally, Director Xu came out to introduce the script directors brought back by the four groups one by one, and the camera focused on the four of them. Taking advantage of this gap, Yan Xun quietly walked behind Xu Jingning and called his name.
"After the recording is over, don't leave yet, come to my car."
"Take you to do something."
In order not to affect the filming in front, Yan Xun spoke in a very soft voice, like a whisper while bending over slightly and whispering in his ear. Xu Jingning was confused for a moment and did not digest the meaning of his words. She just nodded hastily in response.
It was not until he reacted for a while that he suddenly realized that he had accepted Yan Xun's invitation again.
She is so eloquent in front of others, but it seems that her words are ineffective when it comes to Yan Xun.
We swore to keep our distance just two days ago...but, as long as we're not getting close to each other in public, it should be okay, right?
After the recording, Xu Jingning waited for Yan Xun as promised, and got into Yan Xun's car when no one was paying attention.
When I got on, I found that there was another person in the car.
"Hello, Director Fang." The moment Xu Jingning saw Fang Shu, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes, "How could you...how could you..."
Seeing that he couldn't speak clearly, Fang Shu smiled and took over the conversation: "Well, in order to shoot the performance, Lao Xu asked many friends in the same industry to participate, and I am one of them. I have some free time today, so I came here to take a look."
That being said, Fang Shu has not appeared on the show so far, and there has been no news online that he will participate. At least until the end of the first round, he probably won't participate in the show.
However, facing such a respected senior, Xu Jingning immediately became reserved and sat upright: "I see you are leading a team recently, I didn't expect to have the opportunity to meet you here."
Hearing the hidden meaning in his words, Fang Shu snorted and laughed: "Why, you are still paying attention to my schedule?"
"Or should I say that you pay close attention to the entire film industry?"
Most people who have a little knowledge of the film industry know the weight of the name Fang Shu. Almost all the movies he produced are blockbuster masterpieces. He is also a professor at the Directing and Screenwriting Department of the Capital Film Academy. In addition, he has power and connections, and prefers to shoot many themes from niche perspectives. Director Fang is extremely strict in selecting actors, and it is impossible for him to "bring money into the crew."
Many people say that Fang Shu has a weird personality and is difficult to get along with, but when he met him today, Xu Jingning just felt friendly.
Maybe it’s because Director Fang has carefully polished every one of his works many times.
Seeing that Fang Shu didn't like to be polite, Xu Jingning relaxed instead: "Yes, whether it's you or this circle, I have always been paying attention to it. I have never made a movie, but I always think about it. Besides, there is no actor who doesn't want to enter the film industry, right?"
"Hahaha, I just like people who speak their mind." Fang Shu patted Xu Jingning on the shoulder. "I've been watching with Old Xu all day today. You're smart and have a lot of ideas. You don't look as superficial as you think."
Xu Jingning couldn't help but laugh out loud.
Most of the comments about the director outside are that he speaks harshly and doesn't know how to praise people. Xu Jingning always thought that his predecessors were extremely rigorous, but after chatting with them, he realized that maybe he scolded them too much and really didn't know how to praise people.
The two chatted for a while before Yan Xun arrived. Today's car was driven by a full-time assistant. The back seat was very spacious. Yan Xun sat in the same row with Xu Jingning, and he and Fang Shu were just in front and behind each other.
"Where are you going? I'll ask my assistant to take you there."
Xu Jingning: "I can just go home. It's not far from here."
Fang Shu: "I'll go to your place first, just in time to talk about some business."
After instructing his assistant to drive, Yan Xun turned around and asked, "Director Fang, how is the person I introduced to you?"
Straight to the point, Fang Shu also gave a few comments to show his respect: "Not bad, put it on this show, let's pick the tallest one among the short ones."
Xu Jingning smiled slightly: "Director Fang, you should observe him more. Maybe he just looks like a short man now."
Fang Shu was interested in what he said: "Why, I'm an old director who has been making movies for thirty years. I've seen a lot of actors. Do you think I would make a mistake?"
"No, Director Fang, you are definitely more accurate in judging people than I am. I just think that your evaluation of actors is based on your own set of standards."
"In your opinion, actors who don't meet the standards are not necessarily bad actors. In the genres you are good at, you have the final say on what can be called good actors. But what about the rest of the genres?"
“The work is supposed to be diverse, and if you want, there will be new achievements in other subjects.”
Originally, these words were very offensive, but after Xu Jingning considered them, they became more acceptable to people. Fang Shu couldn't help laughing: "You are a smooth talker, boy."
"It's okay, it's okay. I can't say I'm good at speaking. Just my humble opinion."
Hearing this, Fang Shu looked at Yan Xun with admiration in his eyes: "I understand why so many netizens say Xu Jingning is a treasure actor."
Yan Xun nodded slightly: "Fang Dao has seen countless people, and everyone else can see it. You just ran into it later."
The two of them exchanged a few words like in a riddle, and then Fang Shu turned back and stopped talking. Now that he had calmed down, Xu Jingning noticed the slightly teasing smile on Yan Xun's lips.
The chair was obviously quite long, and there was enough space between them to even squeeze in another person, but the air felt slightly tense.
Yan Xun suddenly said: "What do you think?"
Xu Jingning: "What?"
Turning around, she saw Yan Xun's smile spreading from his eyes: "Everyone says that I found a treasure when I met you, little Jing Ning, what do you think?"
