Chapter 157 The Gift of Destiny
In the bedroom upstairs, Ning Mingluo leaned against the headboard, holding a pillow in her hands, and made a video call with someone thousands of miles away.
Ning Mingluo's expression was a little aggrieved: "Why haven't you replied to my messages?"
Gu Xiucheng naturally had no temper in front of Ning Mingluo, and hurriedly coaxed her to apologize.
"It's my fault. I was a bit busy today. I only saw the news that you landed safely, and didn't see the message you sent me later."
The two have a good relationship, but they also work hard and attach great importance to their careers.
Ning Mingluo and Gu Xiucheng are both such people. When they are working, they may not be aware of all the messages on their mobile phones.
Although Ning Mingluo could understand Gu Xiucheng, it was the first time that he and Gu Xiucheng were separated by such a long distance, and they were in two different countries, so he couldn't help but want to act like a spoiled child.
It's natural to feel angry towards Gu Xiucheng.
The principle that Gu Xiucheng has always adhered to when it comes to his wife is to pamper her. No matter what, the word is pampering. Besides, it was he who ignored Ning Mingluo today. He should apologize and comfort her.
"I was wrong. Luoluo, please punish me. I'm willing to do anything you ask me to do."
If it really comes to punishment, Ning Mingluo can't think of anything else.
He gave Gu Xiucheng a look and said, "You're clearly certain I won't punish you."
“Our network is the most understanding.”
"rhetoric."
Gu Xiucheng looked at Ning Mingluo on the phone screen, whose eyes were filled with grievance, and subconsciously raised his hand to touch Ning Mingluo's eyes.
Such a pair of eyes as beautiful as stars, I wish they were always filled with happiness, they really shouldn't be so red, looking at them makes me feel like he has suffered a great injustice.
Ning Mingluo also noticed Gu Xiucheng's actions, his expression was stunned, and then his mood became depressed.
I can talk to Gu Xiucheng on the phone, but I still can't feel his body temperature, I can't sleep in his arms, and there will be no sweet good morning kiss when I wake up in the morning.
"Gu Xiucheng, I miss you." Ning Mingluo buried half of his face in the pillow, staring at Gu Xiucheng.
At this moment, Gu Xiucheng wanted to leave all the mess here and fly over to see his wife.
What could be more important than my wife? The beauty had red eyes and looked at me so pitifully!
He is indifferent, is he still a human being!
However, no matter how much he wanted to do so, he couldn't pull himself away. He had to keep an eye on things here personally.
"Luoluo, be good. I'll be there soon. Eat well and call me when you have time. I promise that from now on, I will reply immediately to every message you send me."
Ning Mingluo is not such a pretentious person, it's just that his emotions just got aroused and he couldn't control himself.
"Well, I'll be waiting for you. We're going to start filming tomorrow. I wonder what it's like to work with foreigners."
The director who collaborated with Ning Mingluo was Kes, and the film was shot abroad, so naturally most of the actors were from foreign countries.
Ning Mingluo naturally had no chance to interact with them before.
"They're all human beings, no different. If they bully you, just tell Kes and he'll back you up. I'm not here with you, so you have to protect yourself."
"I'm not stupid. If someone really bullies me, I can't just stand there and take the beating."
"We have the best network."
Being coaxed by Gu Xiucheng like this, Ning Mingluo always felt like a child who had not grown up.
But thinking about the age difference between myself and Gu Xiucheng, I am indeed a child in front of him.
"You're like an old father giving instructions to his children who are away from home." Ning Mingluo's mood had calmed down by now, and he even had the mind to joke with Gu Xiucheng.
The smile on Gu Xiucheng's lips froze instantly.
He gritted his teeth and said, "Old father?"
Ning Mingluo nodded fearlessly. Now that they couldn't meet each other, Gu Xiucheng couldn't do anything to him. By the time Gu Xiucheng came in two days, he would probably have forgotten about this matter.
"Luoluo, do you know what tone to use when talking to Daddy?"
Looking at Gu Xiucheng who didn't seem angry, Ning Mingluo thought to himself that it was not good and he had messed up.
He used his cute eyes to try to get away with it.
"That was just a metaphor, not true. Don't take it to heart."
Gu Xiucheng smiled coldly: "It's too late."
Ning Mingluo: It’s over.
Gu Xiucheng didn't plan to solve this matter on the phone right now, as it would be too cheap for Ning Mingluo, so he just kept it a record for the time being and started talking about other things with Ning Mingluo.
As they were chatting, Ning Mingluo felt sleepy and his little head nodded.
Gu Xiucheng smiled and said, "Go to sleep. You have a lot of work to do later. Make the most of your sleep time."
Ning Mingluo nodded.
"good evening."
Gu Xiucheng has already helped Ning Mingluo with all the necessities of life including food, clothing, housing and transportation; he only needs to focus on filming.
When Kes saw Ning Mingluo on the set, he sighed, "I thought you wouldn't be able to adapt when you first arrived, but I didn't expect you to look so good."
Ning Mingluo just smiled.
It’s all thanks to Gu Xiucheng. Although he went abroad, he still felt like he was at home.
After a few jokes, they officially got down to work.
On the set, Kes is the boss. Among a group of tall and mighty men, he looks a little thin, but his aura will never let anyone underestimate him.
Whenever Kes's eyes swept across any place at the scene, Ning Mingluo could feel the hairs of the staff there standing on end.
Although it's serious, it can't be that scary.
It was not until the afternoon when Ning Mingluo finished the audition and was about to see how the other actors were doing. Then he heard Kes sitting in his chair, with his legs crossed and his lips chattering, and he didn't stop for three minutes. He scolded the actors who didn't work seriously, were optimistic, and a few who were a little lazy one by one.
He then realized that everyone was so nervous for a reason.
Ning Mingluo sincerely felt that Kes should not drink water on the set, as he might easily be poisoned by himself.
However, when facing Ning Mingluo, Kes's attitude changed completely.
"Your performance just now was very good. It's a pity that the actor you acted with wasn't here today and will be here tomorrow. Otherwise, he could have been used directly."
"It's okay. We have time. If you have a general understanding of me, it will be more convenient for filming in the future."
"I saw your movie. It's a pity that it didn't win any awards. But don't worry, I'm going for the awards in this one." Kes's tone was very casual, as if winning an award was no big deal to him.
If someone else said this, it might sound arrogant, but for Kes, nothing is impossible.
"Then I'd like to thank Director Ke for choosing me as the lead in your new play."
Kes smiled and said, "If I'm going to thank you, it should be me. If it weren't for you, this drama might not have had the chance to start filming."
Kes has been thinking about this script for a long time.
But he never met the actor he liked.
Ning Mingluo was like a godsend.
The protagonist of this play is a very contradictory character. He is proficient in everything and has an aristocratic temperament, but in fact he is just an ordinary person from the slums who is as poor as can be.
It was this kind of person who attracted the attention of a group of outstanding people and then played everyone around.
He is a socialite and everyone's eyes are on him, but he himself does not care about anyone and just plays around in the world.
Until she met a young man. The young man was of ordinary appearance, but he was also attracted to such a flamboyant person and silently guarded him.
This is the first time that someone who is used to playing with people's hearts has met such a stupid and persistent person.
No matter what you say, you can't drive people away.
Finally he compromised.
But just as he compromised, bad news came: he was sick.
The huge cost of treatment is not something they can afford.
So this handsome young man could only calm down and return to that social scene again.
So he became more and more impatient with the dull young man who was guarding him, and the two began to quarrel, or to be more precise, the young man was always angry and cursing at the young man.
It was not until the boy left home alone and the two separated that they resumed their peaceful lives.
But how could the stubborn young man really let the boy go?
He liked him, knew that he was timid but weak, and felt sorry for his independence and strength. After going through a lot of hardships, he found the boy in the coffee shop where they first met.
The disease did not leave the young man, but this time he did not continue to escape, but tried hard to face his own destiny.
Because of his young age, most of the works he has filmed are blockbusters with a strong sense of technology. He has basically never filmed delicate emotional scenes, which is also one of his shortcomings.
And this time his only shortcoming will be made up.
From this we can also see that Kes attaches great importance to this movie and likes Ning Mingluo.
Ning Mingluo was shocked after reading the script. Although it was a love story between two people, no one could help but be moved by their feelings.
One person is so stubborn in guarding the treasure in his heart. He seems dull, but he is actually very sincere. The other one plays around in the world, but is timid and cowardly at heart. They seem to be each other's halves, and can only be complete if they find each other.
The delicate emotions flowing between the lines are the most touching.
Ning Mingluo always felt that such a script was not something that Kes would write. It was not that he doubted Kes, but he felt that such a love story was a bit sad, and Kes did not look like someone who had experienced such deep feelings.
"Did you write this script?"
"Of course I wrote it, but this story also draws inspiration from other people. I used to love traveling and seeing all kinds of people. I once met a same-sex couple. One of them looked playful, but the other always indulged him. I couldn't understand it. Aren't relationships supposed to be about loyalty? Do you know what that person said to me?"
Ning Mingluo was also a little curious: "What did you say?"
Kes's eyes gradually deepened: "He said that the fact that my lover's eyes were willing to fall on me was a gift from fate."
