Chapter 119 Assistant Gua Xu is online "The Night is Beautiful..."
"Nightfall" tells the story of Pei Jiacheng's double life. He and his wife Wenhua are a well-known loving couple. They have a son and live in harmony. Although they met through a blind date, they have always been very compatible after marriage. Wenhua has always felt that she is very lucky to have found such an excellent husband like Pei Jiacheng.
Pei Jiacheng is a university professor. He has always been respected. In comparison, Wenhua is just an ordinary woman with ordinary education and ordinary looks. After marriage, she stays at home to take care of the children and relies on Pei Jiacheng alone for her life.
Pei Jiacheng gave her more than enough, so Wenhua was very satisfied and tried her best to take care of Pei Jiacheng's life and become his best wife.
On the other hand, Pei Jiacheng has a homosexual lover, Chen Zhirang, with whom he has been in love for many years.
Chen Zhirang is good-looking, fair-skinned and handsome, but in the small village, his appearance has become a joke. He has been bullied since he was a child. He is good-looking but cowardly. His parents are not around all year round, so he lives with his grandparents.
There was a lot of gossip in the village. They were very dissatisfied with Chen Zhirang and felt that he lacked masculinity. Later, someone spread the word that Chen Zhirang was a fool who would only look for men.
When this rumor spread, Chen Zhirang could no longer stay in the village, so he ran away alone. However, at the age of seventeen or eighteen, he knew nothing, so he could only work while thinking about how to live his life.
Chen Zhirang was lucky. He met a kind agent who, seeing his young age, arranged a job for him as a handyman at a university. It was through this opportunity that he met Pei Jiacheng.
Chen Zhirang had never met anyone who was kind to him, so the appearance of Pei Jiacheng made him feel that there was light in his life. Chen Zhirang's name was also changed by Pei Jiacheng. His previous name was Chen Han, and his family hoped that he would be more manly.
But Pei Jiacheng told him that people don’t have to live a certain way. There are thousands of people in the world, and everyone should live their own way, as long as they are happy.
Chen Zhirang had never heard the words "for oneself". From childhood to adulthood, what he heard the most was "for daddy" and "for mommy". No one had ever told him to do something for himself.
Nineteen-year-old Chen Zhirang is together with Pei Jiacheng. Pei Jiacheng wants to support him, but he refuses and continues to work in the school, even though he is just doing odd jobs, but he is very satisfied with his life.
After living like this for more than ten years, when Chen Zhirang was 32 years old, he suddenly could not contact Pei Jiacheng. He anxiously looked for him everywhere and ended up attending his funeral.
At the funeral, Chen Zhirang learned for the first time that Pei Jiacheng had a wife and children. He did not dare to say a word and stood there silently for a long time. Looking back on the past, he suddenly realized that Pei Jiacheng's lies were not perfect, but he could ignore a lot of them because he loved him in the past.
The story begins at this funeral. It is about Pei Jiacheng, who has to be pieced together to be complete. Wenhua and Chen Zhirang don't know how to face the lies of the past decade.
Originally, he might be able to deceive people for a lifetime and all three of them would be happy. Unfortunately, fate did not intend to arrange it so simply. An accident and a diary revealed the bloody truth, and the two people who had been living in happiness were suddenly drowned by the tide.
Melodrama is not the main theme of this drama, so the early stories are just background, and the real theme is healing.
The female lead is the talented actress Liu Xiao. Liu Xiao is 38 years old this year. She does not look glamorous, but more like an ordinary person in life. From her debut, she realized that she could not gain a foothold in the circle by relying on her looks, so she has been working hard to improve her acting skills and has won many Best Supporting Actress Awards. She is a well-known golden supporting actress in the film industry.
Liu Xiao was a little nervous when she was asked to play the female lead this time. When she saw Shen Que, who was acting opposite her, she covered her mouth in excitement.
"Director, why would such a handsome male lead want to play my love rival? Since my husband is dead, can you arrange for us to be together? We can raise a child together and form a family of three. How nice it would be."
Liu Xiao liked Shen Que very much. Her biggest dream was to play a couple with the handsome guy, but unfortunately she never had such an opportunity. She didn't expect that one day she would play a love rival. This experience was really special.
"I'm afraid it won't pass the review if we continue filming with your idea, hahahaha. Okay, continue reading the script and stop letting your thoughts wander."
The director smiled and continued to discuss with them. He was a person who liked to listen to the opinions of the actors. Everyone had a different understanding of the role, so he liked to review the script before the formal filming.
"I think Chen Zhirang is not necessarily gay. He is with Pei Jiacheng only because he lacks love and is coaxed by Pei Jiacheng, so he chooses to be with Pei Jiacheng. According to the stereotype, gays are weak and need protection, but this is not the case. In the script, when Chen Zhirang learned that Pei Jiacheng had a family, he didn't seem to be too excited. He just stood there and watched for a while. At first, I thought there seemed to be some problems with the handling here, but after thinking about it carefully, I came to a new conclusion. Maybe it was so plain because there was actually no love between them. Because there was no love, there was no jealousy or hatred. Even when Wenhua came to him later, he was very calm."
As Shen Que expressed his guess, the smile on the director's face gradually spread.
"I thought no one would notice this, but you did. Chen Zhirang is not gay. He just met Pei Jiacheng under such circumstances. He chose such a life for the sake of living and for a little feeling of being loved. The character of Chen Zhirang is very complicated. Since childhood, he was rumored to be gay because of his weak character. He was subtly influenced and took it as true. Later, when he met Pei Jiacheng, he tacitly acknowledged the relationship between the two. However, after a long time of getting along, the ignorant Chen Zhirang suddenly came to his senses, but due to his personality, he chose to accept his fate."
The director explained the character's personality in detail, and Shen Que listened carefully. Only by having a deeper understanding of the character can he give a better interpretation.
When Shen Que was filming, Zhao Wen would not arrange other work for him, allowing him to devote himself to the filming. He just took the stills recently and is ready to start filming officially.
"Director, where is the actor who plays Pei Jiacheng?"
Shen Que was a little curious. Almost everyone had joined the crew, but he still hadn't seen the actor who played Pei Jiacheng. There were some flashbacks in the story, so they had rival scenes together. Shen Que wanted to get familiar with him and get a feel for it.
"This actor is not there. He is just a background. The memories will be shot from his perspective without showing his face. It is better for Pei Jiacheng not to show his face in this drama. The audience will imagine what kind of person he is. If a specific image is established, it will be a little lacking."
The director looked up at Shen Que and patted her head. She had forgotten to tell Shen Que about this.
Shen Que nodded without saying anything, and returned to his seat. As soon as he sat down, a cup of coffee was handed to him. Shen Que took a look at the hand holding the coffee and immediately turned his head to look over.
Xu Qingye stood behind him wearing a duckbill cap and a mask. When he saw Shen Que turn around, he looked at him with a smile.
"Hello, I'm Xiao Xu, the new assistant."
"Why are you here?"
Shen Que took the coffee and asked Xu Qingye to sit down. Xu Qingye shook his head and continued to stand.
"I promised Xu Hong to visit the set, so I came here after the visit. I'll stay with you for a few days, and then go to Cherry Films to discuss cooperation."
Xu Qingye and Shen Que reported their own itineraries. Xu Qingye guessed most of the box office forecasts for the Spring Festival movies correctly, especially the "Little Man" that no one was optimistic about, which broke through the siege and became a dark horse. The value of Xu Qingye's account has increased a lot. Someone even sent him a private message to buy his account for 5 million. How could Xu Qingye sell it? The profit brought by this account is more than 5 million.
In addition, the grievances and hatreds between Gao Jixing and the other two also brought a lot of traffic and popularity to the company. At first, Xu Qingye planned to sell the photos to earn hush money, but the other party refused, so he had to publish them.
The heat of the official announcement has not yet died down, and there is unexpectedly a sequel. The crowd of spectators were stunned, and they did not expect that the love story could have such an ups and downs story.
After Xu Qingye broke the news, Gao Jixing and the other two naturally followed up to clarify. They had expected that Xu Qingye would not be able to produce the key evidence, and it was too abstract to just rely on his height.
However, subsequent developments were somewhat beyond expectations. Before Xu Qingye could make any effort, Gao Jixing's fans stood up to criticize him, saying that he had been in constant love relationships and the fans had been hiding it for him. This time, he dared to do it but not take responsibility and even asked his teammates to take the blame. His behavior was too ugly and made the fans very disappointed. So they stopped being fans and started criticizing him.
Several of Gao Jixing's blogs have been closed, and many of his big fans have changed their profile pictures to black. As a result, The One, which was already on the verge of collapse, may not be able to continue.
Xu Qingye feels that this is a pity. There are not many domestic entertainment boy bands, and The One is a rare group that has lasted for a long time. However, the group's final fate is doomed to fail. It is difficult for a group of people to move forward in unison forever.
"Have you arranged accommodation? Have you already booked a hotel?"
"No, I just arrived and haven't had time yet. My luggage is still in your nanny car. It's not easy to book a hotel here, so I can only squeeze in with you for now."
Xu Qingye was fanning Shen Que, and he continued to do his job as an assistant.
"Sit down for a while. I have to go to the theater for a shoot."
Shen Que took Xu Qingye's hand and asked him to sit beside him. Normally, he seldom asked his assistant to do anything, as long as he completed the basic work. He did not like being taken care of in every possible way.
Shen Que didn't want to be fanned, so Xu Qingye fanned himself. The weather here was a bit hot and humid, and it was a little difficult to adapt when he first arrived.
The afternoon scene is the one where Chen Zhirang, played by Shen Que, is packing up his things at home and Wenhua comes to visit him with a diary.
The little boy who played Wenhua's son was very cute. Xu Qingye stayed with Shen Que for a while and then went to play with the child. However, the little boy was much more mature than him and ignored him completely, which made Xu Qingye feel a little embarrassed. He could only eat the snacks that were passed to him himself.
"Child stars are indeed different."
Xu Qingye retreated to Shen Que's side and thought of another child star.
