Chapter 116 The Soul of Gossip Burns
Almost no one knew that Huo Jingtian still had connections with the Lin family.
Li Yuan, who plays the eldest daughter of the Lin family, is as exquisite as usual today. Even the pouring rain cannot spoil her image in the slightest.
Sitting in front of the window, the two exchanged a few witty remarks in tacit understanding, and then fell silent again - such a scene with few lines is easy to act, but it is also difficult to act.
So many hints and emotions are expressed through the eyes and subtle movements. And these hints cannot only be received by the actors acting opposite, but also by the audience.
But you can't use too much force.
Fortunately, the actor acting opposite Li Yuan was Shu Ming.
Fortunately, the actor who acted opposite Shu Ming was Li Yuan.
He has naturally integrated into this role, so no matter when he raises his eyes, lowers his head in silence, or gently raises the cup... it is Huo Jingtian who is in deep thought, and it is Huo Jingtian who is gambling for his own destiny at this small table.
For Shu Ming, portraying a role and changing emotions have become as natural as breathing. After yesterday's scene, his heart became closer to the role!
Li Yuan was even in a trance, and he had to be on high alert because there was an opponent who could not be underestimated sitting opposite him.
Who would have thought that after not seeing each other for two or three years, Shu Ming has transformed from the novice who needed the director to explain the scenes to him several times and rehearsed dozens of times in his mind before he dared to stand in front of the camera, to the current person who can do things with ease and composure?
She was shocked by the change.
Similarly, Lin Peishan, the eldest daughter of the Lin family in the play, was also shocked by Huo Jingtian's unique vision.
But before they had time to exchange a few more words, an emergency occurred.
**
Rong Caiqing had been kneeling in the rain for a while.
She was very spoiled and had been the apple of her family's eye since she was little. She thought that she could make her parents give in by making such a fuss.
But this time seems different.
But this time she was different! She was serious. She didn't want to get engaged to anyone else, even if that person was her childhood sweetheart! She already had someone in her heart...
Even though Huo Jingtian had formally broken up with her before going to Africa, saying that his life or death was uncertain and it was not good to waste her youth.
But she couldn't let go.
She waited for Huo Jingtian for two years, not for such a complete separation ending!
The heavy rain soaked her clothes. She questioned, "Isn't my happiness happiness? Does it have to be according to your ideas to be perfect?"
Mommy said to her: "This time is different..."
The little girl is not yet aware of the turbulent waves behind her.
She had not yet realized that Huo Jingtian, whom she insisted on marrying, was standing on the edge of a cliff, and a slight push would lead to his downfall.
She may not realize it, but her parents do, so there is no way they would push her into the fire pit!
But many of the truths and principles in this were not something the little girl could understand at the moment. She was still crying so sadly in the rain that everyone who saw her could not bear to turn their heads away.
The rain was really heavy, so heavy that the sky and the earth were covered in white, so heavy that she could hardly open her eyes. She just felt cold, her knees were stiff, and her hair was sticking to the sides of her face, which was itchy and embarrassing.
But when she thought of her beloved, a lot of courage surged in her chest.
What's more, she has never tasted the taste of struggle since she was a child, and now she feels a little proud of holding her destiny in her own fists.
But after kneeling for too long, I felt confused again.
When will this heavy rain, which obscures even the horizon, end? When will I finally be able to accept the pain in my body?
Until she heard an inaudible sigh behind her.
Someone held an umbrella and stood beside her.
Then, he gently tilted the umbrella over her head.
At that moment, the world was quiet.
The frighteningly loud sound of rain faded away, turning into a muffled sound blocked by the umbrella. The heavy rain that almost made it impossible to open one's eyes turned back into a storm that was separated from her.
A particularly obvious drop of water, different from the rest of the raindrops, rolled down from the umbrella and hit the ground.
From the shiny uppers of his shoes, to the creased trouser legs of his suit, to the only thing she could see from her angle, the other person's thin jaw.
And there were Huo Jingtian's pale, bloodless lips.
He did not sigh again, but stretched out a hand with thin calluses and slowly smoothed away the wet hair that was blocking her eyes.
——"Hurry, hurry, blanket, blanket."
Rong Caiqing was the one who got soaked the most! She took the towel and blanket, wiped her face roughly, and almost bumped into someone when she turned around.
It’s Shu Ming.
The other person was still holding an umbrella for her. His trouser legs and shoulders were already a little wet, but he still waited until another umbrella completely took her away before disappearing.
"What are you looking at?"
Li Chen handed her a cup of hot tea, and seeing that her eyes were still wandering, he asked casually.
Logically speaking, Rong Caiqing should have openly shared her excitement at that moment with Li Chen—
It was really too cool! When the umbrella tilted over, she didn't know whether it was the character's young heart beating wildly or her own heart stopping and starting again...
Logically speaking, yes, she should have been chirping like this.
But this special emotional experience, which was different from anything she had experienced before, inexplicably made her silent.
Li Chen saw that she lowered her eyes silently and said nothing, which was very unusual from her usual behavior, and he also smelled some unique scent from her.
So he fell silent.
The two people looked at each other silently in the sound of the rain, each with their own thoughts.
The silence was broken when Shu Ming's lively assistant, carrying a large kettle, rushed down the corridor and knocked on the door. "Miss Rong, we have a pot of hot ginger tea here. It's very effective for dispelling the cold. I've put it on the table. Please help yourself."
After saying that, she left in a hurry, as if someone was chasing her.
But even if she didn't mention Shu Ming's name, everyone knew that he must have prepared it.
How hateful!
I just hate him...
Rong Caiqing was stunned for a moment, then reached out and poured two cups of hot ginger tea into paper cups, poking Li Chen's arm: "Want a cup?"
It seems as if what he is drinking is not ginger tea, but wine.
**
Guan Xianyi asked him, "Did you notice it?"
"Of course." Shu Ming nodded.
That's why he asked Orange to deliver the ginger tea instead of going there himself - he is not the kind of artist who exploits his assistants.
Rong Caiqing treats him differently, even a fool can see it!
"Isn't it normal to fall in love during a play?"
Shu Ming, completely unaware that there were two other male actors secretly having affairs for him, nodded in a mature manner and turned the page of the script.
After thinking for a moment, he looked up again: "Generally speaking, after the filming is finished, it will be better to leave this environment."
Shu Ming felt that it was not his own charm, nor was it Rong Caiqing's love brain, but that everything was thanks to Huo Jingtian.
After all, this Fourth Master Huo has been deliberately exuding charm to the character played by Rong Caiqing in the drama.
He has so little on hand!
One more help means one more life-saving trump card.
He was indeed attracted to this rich lady, but he was not willing to spend time with her to act out such a tragic drama.
Even Ma Chang's rescue might have been intentional by Huo Jingtian... These are not written in the script or the original novel. There are only a few vague hints. It all depends on how the readers interpret them.
And it is obvious that after Shu Ming integrated into the role, he had his own understanding!
There is both exploitation and emotion.
This is a person, a three-dimensional person.
Okay, gossiping with people has turned into talking about the script, which is really boring!
When I took a closer look, I saw another colorful and headache-inducing elementary school student graffiti version of the script that made me completely uninterested in reading it.
Guan Xianyi was too lazy to pay attention to him. She was in a rare mood to gossip, so she reached out to Chengzi... Well, it was not her fault. Those young people were really too aggressive and interesting in private. She was probably not the only one in the entire crew who was gossiping.
Chengzi had just returned from delivering ginger tea, and she was also concerned about the love and hatred of this group of people. However, this time, she had the honor of being a witness to the scene, and she swore confidently, "I don't think Rong Caiqing knows about Li Chen yet..."
She blinked: "When I left, she actually shared ginger tea with Li Chen!"
If the person you secretly love gives you something, who would be stupid enough to give it to your rival? No matter how stupid a person is, he or she wouldn't do such a thing.
"You don't know, the way Li Chen looks at Rong Caiqing is really amazing. Um... I think part of it is the feeling of looking at a love rival, but more of it is that kind of thing."
She was at a loss for words for a moment, then slammed her head on the table. "I feel like my mom is so disappointed in me when she saw me get 30 points on a math test!"
So funny!
Guan Xianyi couldn't suppress the corner of his mouth for a moment and held his forehead.
"But anyway, I don't like either of these two people..." Orange's gossip soul was burning. He turned his head left and right to look, and complained to Guan Xianyi in a low voice.
The two people she was talking about were naturally Li Chen and Xi Jia.
"One is a perverted stalker, and the other one got into a fight with that guy on the set. Tsk, I don't think they're good people either."
The two of them looked at each other and immediately reached a consensus - not as good as Liang Ruowen!
Although Leung Yu-Wen, they always felt that she was not as good a match for Xiao Shu.
Of course this is natural, as our own children look good no matter how they look at us.
But when you compare something, you have to throw it away. Compared with many ugly and inferior things, Liang Ruowen is really far ahead of them.
The goodwill shown by these two young actors was also very obvious. At the beginning, Guan Xianyi thought that Xi Jia was hostile to Shu Ming, but he found out later.
This guy is just pure idiot, there's no other explanation.
Chengzi, however, offered a different perspective: "It's known that Rong Ankang and Chen Mi both claim this guy has connections. It's also known that he once changed his name and participated in a talent show in Taiwan, hoping to debut through that route. He ended up facing frequent backstabbing and suppression. What does this really mean?!"
"This means that this young master wanted to make a name for himself in the entertainment industry without relying on his background, but he failed in the end! The final resources he had were all obtained by relying on his family background."
Cheng Zi's analysis was very logical: "Let me tell you, Sister Guan, people tend to envy and be jealous of those who have had the same experience as themselves but ended up doing a hundred times better than themselves.
Look, he and Xiao Shu both debuted through talent shows, and both suffered shady backlash from the production team. And what happened? He had no choice but to come back and rely on his family to get into Rong Ankang and Chen Mi's group. But what about Shu Ming? Not only did he turn around and stab the production team, but he also continued to rise and rise, even winning the Gold Award!
Oh, it feels so good to hear this!
Even the best online articles don’t dare to write this cool!
"So, isn't this the reason why he kept staring at Xiao Shu in the group of 'Chang'an Jin'?
If I were him, I would also watch closely to see what this person has in order to make the road I have been unable to walk smooth and wide open..."
If you stare at it for a long time, you will be moved.
It's human nature to be attracted to Shu Ming. It's human nature!
You know what, it really makes sense.
Guan Xianyi immediately looked at him with admiration - gossip really does stimulate the brain.
"That makes sense!" Guan Xianyi gave her full affirmation, and Chengzi's confidence immediately soared. She continued to analyze, "I think Li Chen's thoughts are even simpler. Isn't he called a 'drama maniac' by the Hong Kong entertainment industry? Our Xiao Shu has such great acting skills, wouldn't he be completely captivated?"
This is what led to the open and secret struggles between the two!
These two young men are also very funny. They were particularly attentive on the set. Today you eagerly came up to buy Shu Ming a hot drink, and tomorrow I will not be outdone and give him a windproof scarf I made myself...
Then, they would occasionally exchange some sarcastic remarks in front of Shu Ming, providing a tacit source of jokes for the older actors in the crew.
Oh, this great show also has an additional member, Rong Caiqing. In fact, there are several young actors who have tried to join the group, but they didn’t last long.
Only these two have the most perseverance and determination!
Qiao Minxue summed it up in one word: "Xiao Shu is the same, the older he gets, the more attractive he becomes!"
What’s even funnier is that Shu Ming really doesn’t feel anything!
What is this called? It's called throwing a wink at a blind man—
He would just be pleasantly surprised by the kindness of his fellow actors, then smile and thank them, and then... continue writing and drawing on the script.
After being taught by Ojiman, he has learned to add simple drawings to the script. However, his drawing skills are so poor that even if you steal his script, you probably won't know what he is marking.
It's even worse than the painting by Li Yuanjia's three-year-old son. Put it this way, being able to surpass a child's painting is a skill.
He was also secretly drawing emoticons and was caught by Sun Yi!
A group of people held his notebook for a long time but couldn't figure out what the boy had drawn. Finally, Liang Ruowen, who came to visit the set, recognized him. Isn't this the expression of the angry little Corgi?
Shu Ming muttered unconvincedly, "Huo Jingtian was so angry during this scene, it's only logical that I draw an emoticon to help him vent his emotions!"
Everyone was so happy that they fell backwards, and no one cared about the two sulking roosters that were secretly competing with each other.
Oh, that’s what young people are like, both love and hate are exciting.
In short, Guan Xianyi and Chengzi gossiped a lot, which helped relieve the pressure of work. However, when he took out his cell phone, he knew something was wrong.
Alas, the fact that Shu Ming went to the hospital last night finally became a hot topic!
-----------------------
The author has something to say: I coded this secretly on my phone, and my hand speed skyrocketed when I started coding the gossip part.
Hahahaha, everyone has a gossipy heart.
