Chapter 78 So spicy, so spicy
Shu Ming received a few loving slaps from Qiao Minxue, but he smiled and did not dodge. Instead, he spoke a few words of concern to the elder in a friendly and familiar manner.
For example, whether Qiao Minxue's knees had been affected by the cold again, and whether the knee pads he had sent to Qiao Minxue were still effective;
For example, he always reviewed the lessons Qiao Minxue had taught him, and he also did his homework carefully on the videos Qiao Minxue had asked him to watch...
Qiao Minxue nodded repeatedly.
When I saw Shu Ming again at this time, the boy seemed less pretentious and more relaxed.
But Qiao Minxue still looked at him with the same care as a child.
He was like a loving elder in the family. He was not in a hurry to test the child's homework. He just cared about whether Shu Ming was tired from the long journey. He picked up Shu Ming's shirt and asked him if he was hot.
The temperature in the capital soared today, and almost everyone on the streets was wearing short-sleeved shirts. Shu Ming's outfit was obviously a bit out of place...
Under the shade of the tree, these two people, one willing to coax and the other willing to be obeyed, were having so much fun. The atmosphere was so good that others couldn't interfere at all.
What’s more, it’s hard to explain, but these two people really look a bit alike at first glance!
When Bi Fangchen arrived, the "father and son" had finished chatting about family matters and started talking about Shu Ming's career plans.
Bi Fangchen walked over with a smile: "What a handsome young man! No wonder everyone keeps talking about him. I finally saw him today."
Qiao Minxue pointed and said, "Lao Bi, the director of The Wave."
The love and admiration in Qiao Minxue's eyes were genuine. Bi Fangchen was of course happy to be a good person, not to mention——
Bi Fangchen slapped his hand away: "No need for introductions! You keep talking about it every day, and that Zheng Yiwei keeps talking about it in my ear too."
"Haha, right!" Qiao Minxue was stunned for a moment before remembering, "He's Zheng Yiwei's senior brother, a blood relative."
Shu Ming thought he looked familiar, and only after Qiao Minxue mentioned it did he understand the reason.
I see.
Bi Fangchen told him not to be polite, but Shu Ming certainly didn't believe it. He still greeted him politely.
So everyone saw that as soon as Shu Ming joined the crew, the two biggest stars in the whole show were busy circling around him!
What kind of connections are these? What kind of strength is this? It's really something that others can't even envy, and they probably wouldn't even dare to dream of such a big thing.
Even though other people's gazes were glaringly intense, Shu Ming, surrounded by two "big guys", still spoke to them in a calm and composed manner, pretending not to see anything.
Hasn't he been looked at often enough? Why make such a fuss?
It was lunchtime and the sun was getting brighter, so the three of them moved to Qiao Minxue's lounge to have a detailed chat.
You know what, Bi Fangchen really has a good impression of this young man.
He knows when to advance and when to retreat, and speaks clearly and logically. It is obvious at first glance that he is a rare young actor with a good command of dialogue.
Moreover, he said that Zheng Yiwei often mentioned the name Shu Ming to him, and it was not just a polite remark.
Zheng Yiwei actually mentioned it to him several times.
Before "Love on the Grassland" was broadcast, Shu Ming used Bai Shan's role to increase the ratings of the show by nearly one point.
Later, Zheng Yiwei stood Shu Ming up. When the two seniors were having dinner together, Zheng Yiwei's original words were: "I originally wanted to help Shu Ming and Chen Mi to connect, to make up for it."
"The result is good. I didn't expect this guy to be so competitive and win the leading role in 'Far Away'.
Chen Mi even treated me to a meal, saying that he owed me a favor and helped them choose a suitable male lead..."
When Zheng Yiwei received the call from Chen Mi, he was stunned.
Because he was supposed to compensate Shu Ming, he didn't expect Shu Ming to really play an important role in it.
What happened? Not only did Shu Ming snatch the leading male role, he even earned a favor for him...
No, is that right?
If this goes on, when will I have to pay back what I owe this kid?
Forget it, I'll help someone get involved in an art film...
Bi Fangchen laughed heartily after hearing his complaints. It had been a long time since he saw his junior fellow student suffer such a setback. He really wanted to meet who this Shu Ming was.
When we met today, we really hit it off.
Qiao Minxue was still listening to Shu Ming sorting out the next plans.
He signaled to Shu Ming that he didn't need to mind Bi Fangchen's existence and could be included in his own camp.
Shu Mingzhen did not shy away from it at all, showing his complete trust in Qiao Minxue.
"The Little Secret, which was filmed at the end of last year, should be released online in July this year, and the promotion will be concentrated next month."
Qiao Minxue suddenly remembered: "When is your final exam?"
Shu Ming smiled bitterly: "Also next month."
This means that next month he will have to review to get through the damn finals month, while also flying around the country. It's really a nightmare!
"Luckily, this is my last semester. When my senior year starts in September, I'll only have my thesis to complete, and no other classes..."
"Where does Shu Ming go to school?" the question was asked by Bi Fangchen.
Qiao Minxue snorted, seeming quite proud of his child. "Where else could it be? The capital!"
This really scared Bi Fangchen. He thought the place across from him was the Capital Film Academy, where most actors go to study...
It turns out that this is really a top student!
Oh, a student from Shouda University...that's really sweet. The role this kid is going to play this time is also a top student.
No wonder Qiao Minxue patted his chest and promised him.
Bi Fangchen shut up and thought to himself. Qiao Minxue and he had been friends for many years, so he didn't bother to pay attention to him and motioned Shu Ming to continue.
"Then I was supposed to join the crew of 'Far Away', but it was postponed. Director Chen told me that, at the moment, it seems that I might not be able to join the crew until next year."
Qiao Minxue knew about this, as he also had a supporting role to play in "Far Away".
"Since I have six months off, I'm thinking about playing the leading role in an art film, but I haven't signed a contract yet..."
"Art film? Did Lao Rong promote it for you?" Qiao Minxue reacted quickly.
Shu Ming looked at him with a bit of surprise, but nodded obediently: "Yes."
Another art film?
Bi Fangchen caught the sensitive words and immediately pricked up his ears.
"Well, since Lao Rong is the one pushing it for you, then go ahead."
Qiao Minxue was truly planning for him: "If it weren't for Lao Rong's support, I wouldn't have recommended you to carry the box office of art films."
"Art films tend to be critically acclaimed but not commercially successful. These people won't make a move until they see the rabbit. If your first film doesn't do well at the box office, it'll be hard to get a leading role in another film. Investors won't buy it..."
Qiao Minxue carefully analyzed the pros and cons for him, and the two of them sat very close to each other, looking like a loving father and a filial son!
In addition to career planning, they also talked about further training in acting. Qiao Minxue picked up a few questions and Shu Ming answered them all fluently.
Bi Fangchen could see that although some of the answers were still immature, they were quite presentable.
He could also see that the reason Qiao Minxue called him over in the middle of the day was to show off!
So I felt jealous but had to admit: "Old Joe, you are great, there is someone to take over!"
Bi Fangchen was envious, but also felt a bit gloating and wanted to laugh. He couldn't wait to go back and make fun of Zheng Yiwei.
——There’s no need to help Shu Ming get involved in art films, he already has better resources!
The projects that Rong Ankang brokered must be much better than those that Zheng Yiwei managed.
That's Rong Ankang! A national master, what director would dare to claim that his film achievements surpass his?
This is also the reason why Qiao Minxue agreed with Shu Ming to sign the male lead.
If it wasn't in front of Qiao Minxue, Bi Fangchen would have almost laughed out loud - Zheng Yiwei, Zheng Yiwei, you have also suffered a setback at the hands of a younger generation!
**
It's true that enemies always meet.
After Guan Xianyi followed Shu Ming into the crew, he discovered that the original actor for the role of Shu Ming in "The Wave" was actually Yi Cheng.
Zhuang Zheng listened for a long time and felt that the name sounded familiar.
Orange said it all: "Is he the male lead of 'Return'?"
By this calculation, Shu Ming took away two characters from him!
He is also a young man of similar age, and he has resources that I don’t have.
Even though Shu Ming has never met the other person formally until now, this name has appeared repeatedly in his career.
It can't be said that there is no fate.
In fact, only Chengzi and Zhuang Zheng were a little more calm. Guan Xianyi had been monitoring the movements of the other side since early morning.
Are you stupid if you don't pay attention to the obvious fight?
"The reason given by the crew at the beginning was that the schedule didn't match."
Shu Ming calmly pushed up the black-framed glasses on his tall nose.
"But from what Mr. Qiao said, I suspect he was caught by the crew for overlapping roles."
The reason why Shu Ming put on glasses again after a long time was because the role he played in the drama was a nerd who wore glasses all year round in period dramas.
Being used to wearing glasses and not being used to wearing glasses are two completely different states. In order to avoid mistakes in small details, Qiao Minxue "ordered" him to wear glasses at all times and fully integrate into the role.
But this guy is obviously a nerd, wearing conventional black-framed glasses and a white shirt buttoned stiffly to the top.
But there was an indescribable sexiness about him that attracted many young actors to look at him. Even though Shu Ming had already pushed the door and entered the lounge, some people still couldn't help but look over here.
It could be the protruding wrist bones revealed by Shu Ming's tightly bound cuffs, the glaring white that accidentally peeked through his collar, or the narrow waist tucked into his suit trousers...
The higher his intelligence, the more people want to strip him of his clothes!
Anyway, in the words of fans, Shu Ming is seducing them by acting like this!
As for Shu Ming himself, he had no intention of appearing cool, and even tried to act ordinary.
Although he doesn't have many scenes in "The Wave", it can be filmed in about two to three weeks.
But in these short days, he finally had the opportunity to completely put aside those messy business activities.
After getting up early every morning, he would follow Qiao Minxue and do morning lessons and exercises without distraction;
After the show in the evening, I consulted Bi Fangchen and reviewed the problems of the day... It was obvious that my acting skills had improved a lot.
In the words of Qiao Minxue - being a nerd doesn’t mean you have to be really stupid in front of the camera!
Everyone has selfish desires, and under the label of the character being a greenhorn, there must also be a textured and layered design.
When acting opposite different actors, you can't use the same template.
Even though they are both nerds, their behavior towards their family and teachers and classmates is definitely not the same…
"You have to use your brain when designing a play! Don't try to simplify things. If all the laughs are exactly the same and all the cries are exactly the same, then it's useless!"
It's easy to fall into this kind of trap if you act too much. This role is really difficult to play, and it's easy to become a stereotyped character.
Fortunately, before Shu Ming was about to fall into this misunderstanding, Qiao Minxue pointed him out.
Considering that "The Wave" itself is a high-quality drama, Bi Fangchen is Zheng Yiwei's senior and a director who is quite good at training people.
As a result, Shu Ming's own performance style gradually became more textured and delicate.
After this period of daily exercises, I have become more stable and have undergone a transformation by washing away my restlessness.
Guan Xianyi looked at him, touched his chin, and really felt like he was getting the feeling from a period drama!
It has a different flavor from the past.
Shu Ming, who was becoming more and more calm, didn't even realize that his image in the eyes of outsiders was changing again and again, and he was still analyzing it!
"Sister Xianyi, didn't you tell me before that the publicity for 'Return' was weird?"
For example, the promotions for "Little Secrets" were also ongoing, and he and Duan Miaozhu basically coordinated their schedules, with the main cast flying to the same city for promotion. Although they occasionally separated, most activities were still carried out as a group.
The drama "Return" is very strange. First, there was a dispute over the male and female lead rankings when filming started. Later, the publicity was even more inconsistent. The public statement was that Yi Cheng had other dramas to shoot...
It is now known that Yi Cheng has been kicked out of the crew of "The Wave", but he has not appeared outside, or is still said to be in the crew.
Qiao Minxue sounded very dissatisfied... Shu Ming guessed that it seemed that this person was taking over other people's roles.
Of course, it is entirely possible that the excuse of filming was a cover-up from the beginning to the end.
However, this is not a big deal. It is enough for Guan Xianyi to supervise it.
Yi Cheng's inferior methods were really not worthy of Shu Ming's attention.
He was more concerned about how to make today's scene more exciting. This afternoon, he and Qiao Minxue had a long and intense scene with lines, and his lines alone were a full thousand words...
Shu Ming tilted his head and rubbed the red mark on his nose caused by the glasses, while his lines were still going through his mind.
Until Chengzi was flipping through her phone and said faintly, "Xiao Shu, did you forget something?"
Shu Ming paused, dazed.
Guan Xianyi was reminded by Chengzi: "Yes, I've always wanted to ask you, how are you going to celebrate your birthday this year?"
Seeing Shu Ming remained silent, Guan Xianyi felt really disappointed: "You're not planning on celebrating again, are you? Twentieth birthday is a big birthday. Last year you used the excuse that you were on the set and didn't celebrate it. Why not celebrate it this year..."
She sneered, "Why don't you just wait and see if the fans will tear us apart one by one?"
The innocent ones are the artists, and their team’s Weibo comment section is about to be occupied by fans again.
He didn't even celebrate our child's birthday. He must be abusing Shu Ming in private!
Guan Xianyi got a headache whenever she thought about it, and Shu Ming blinked at her innocently - is it that serious?
Seeing that this guy wanted to avoid the topic and slip away, Guan Xianyi was even more furious: "Stop!"
Shu Ming really stood still obediently.
He tentatively said, "Then... could you take this opportunity to promote 'Little Secrets'?"
Why is this guy still thinking about work——
Guan Xianyi took a deep breath, but was still almost angered to death!
