Now it was getting dark, and the lights in the dance hall were turned on, but the lights were not very bright, and only created an ambiguous atmosphere.
Except that it was a little quieter, the atmosphere in the dance hall was generally similar to that of a bar. Colenso stepped directly on the sofa. Behind him, the guy with dreadlocks and a few others stood behind him. They were all burly and looked like bad guys.
When Slater saw Colenso, he immediately got inspiration and he hurriedly explained it to Gu Qingchi.
He motioned Gu Qingchi to go see Colenso.
Gu Qingchi was a little confused about the situation. When Colenso stood over, he reacted a beat late and seemed to have no reaction at all.
He was about to stand up, but Slater signaled him to do so, and he turned his head hesitantly to look at Colenso.
Slater gestured and looked very excited.
"This is the feeling you lack. Don't be so hard on yourself. Relax, kid. Your parents taught you so well. Don't limit yourself to the rules of a good kid."
“Imagine that you are like a vine growing freely. You don’t need to think about anything. You just need to enjoy the sunshine, do whatever you want, spend money when you have it, squander time when you have it, and don’t think about the future.”
He frowned as he spoke.
"But it's a little different. Even if he voluntarily fell into the dust, he should be high and mighty and difficult to approach. Do you know the fallen archangel Lucifer? Give me a holy and evil Lucifer."
Colenso didn't understand a word Slater said, and he was confused after he finished speaking, but it didn't matter.
Colenso pushed himself up with his hands and jumped over, landing just beside Gu Qingchi's legs. He then went straight to the left box of cigarettes on the table.
The little dreadlock whistled.
Colenso ignored him and put his nose close to it to sniff, but of course he couldn't smell anything. He shook the cigarette in his hand, walked to Colenso, tore open the package, took out the cigarettes inside, and threw them into the trash can in front of him.
A dozen white cigarettes were scattered inside.
"Whether you are God or Lucifer, this place is closed for business. Stay away from that young master."
Gu Qingchi was sitting on the sofa, with Little Dreadlocks and the others watching Slater warily behind him, and Colenso standing in front of him.
Just looking at the attire of Colenso and his crew, they don't look very friendly. Leather jackets, jeans, and skulls are just the basic equipment.
Colenso had no plans to play today, he just came here to drink, wearing ripped jeans, sneakers and a baggy sweatshirt.
Gu Qingchi was wearing a black suit with a British style cut.
There is a Windsor knot on the neck, and the clothes are neatly arranged. The wrinkles caused by the posture disappear as she moves. It is obvious that the fabric is of high quality.
He is clean and tidy, without any unnecessary accessories, and his hair is well-groomed. He looks like a perfect young master with plenty of money and free time.
He seemed out of place with Colenso and the others, but he was surrounded by them.
Slater just reacted to the sudden inspiration and took off his hat and put it aside.
"Hey, kid, what do you want to do? Looking for trouble? I'm not afraid of you."
As he spoke, he stepped back a little, put his fists in front of his chest in a defensive posture, and jumped lightly with his feet.
Colenso and his group exchanged glances and burst into laughter.
Slater said harsh words, but his body was honestly moving further and further away from Colenso.
He retreated without forgetting to wink at Gu Qingchi. Gu Qingchi didn't understand. He looked behind him first and found that it was Slater who winked at him, and he looked confused.
He said tentatively.
"Would you like some wine?"
Slater: ...
If they all get wiped out this time, it's just their teammates' fault for being stupid.
Slater walked around to the side, picked up his hat that was on the table, tucked it under his arm, coughed, and walked across the Cologne cableway.
"It's getting late, we should go."
Gu Qingchi glanced at the dozen or so cigarettes scattered in the trash can.
His eyes flickered slightly, but in the end he did nothing.
He hummed slowly, stood up obediently, and then wanted to go over.
Colenso took a step to the side, blocking his path.
Colenso faced Slater, with Gu Qingchi blocked behind him.
"You go by yourself, and he stays."
The little dreadlock behind Colenso whistled again.
"Don't worry, we will escort him home."
Slater glared when he heard this. He has always had a bad temper and he is the one who has the final say in the crew. The incident just now was a rare setback for him.
He took a step forward.
"Stay away from him. If you don't leave I'll call the police."
The situation was once very tense and both sides were on the verge of a fight.
The waiter nearby, attracted by the noise, walked over quickly.
The waiter was a little hesitant and kept watching, while a colleague had already gone to find the person in charge.
Everyone knew that if Colenso was going to teach someone a lesson, it was best to stay away.
But in the blink of an eye, he saw Gu Qingchi trapped inside.
So the waiter hardened his heart, walked up to Colenso and whispered to him.
"Mr. Colenso, they are not locals and do not know the rules. They are from the big city and come here to make a movie. The man in front of you is a famous director, and the gentleman behind you is a well-known actor. If something happens to him here, it might be reported in the news."
Colenso's clenched fists loosened again:?
The first thought was, what director? What actor?
The second thought was, fuck, it turns out they are in the same group.
The third thought was, let’s do it again, I really am not looking for trouble.
The scene was very awkward for a while.
Slater sat on the sofa angrily, with Gu Qingchi next to him who was still a little confused about the situation.
On the other side were Colenso and others, some sitting on the sofa, and some leaning against the back of the sofa.
The head of the Queen's Ballroom sat in the middle.
Slater spent a huge sum of money to rent a large dance hall from them. He was a rare big client. And it was easy to guess that when Slater's movie was broadcast, it would be a free advertisement.
By then, there will be piles of people to take care of their business.
As for Colenso.
The person in charge certainly knew Colenso. He couldn't afford to offend this local tyrant. What's more, it was because of Colenso that the order in the Queen's Ballroom had always been good. No one dared to mess up things here. This was simply a miracle here.
The person in charge doesn't want to offend either party.
After several attempts of mediation, both parties finally sat down.
Colenso was also very happy.
"I was wrong this time. I owe you a favor."
Slater heard it and snorted heavily through his nose.
When the person in charge nearby saw this, he suddenly had an idea and whispered to Slater.
"You asked me before, wanting a guide who knows the rules here."
This is a very charming place. There are often musicians singing along the street and dancers swinging their passionate red skirts on the street.
But I have to say, it's quite a mess here, and the crew has been restricted in their actions.
But Slater wanted more than that, he wanted to really get into the life of the small town, he wanted to capture the dark side of the town, he wanted to capture how those at the bottom of society lived.
But even if they are accompanied by locals, they are still not allowed to enter many places due to safety issues, let alone take pictures.
This is also why Slater has been filming the shots related to the Queen's dance floor. They can't film shots anywhere else.
The person in charge has looked for several candidates, but none of them were satisfactory.
Now that I think about it, it would be great if Colenso was willing.
The person in charge put it rather tactfully.
"Mr. Colenso is familiar with the local characteristics and customs, and is a very suitable candidate."
Slater then raised his eyes.
"Be direct, what can he say here?"
"Is he a small-time thug? The kind who spends his days on the street?"
That's a bit too direct.
The faces of Xiao Zhazhuang and the others changed immediately and they stood up.
Colenso, on the other hand, was very calm.
"He is right, but I am not a guide. Let the girls show them around the garden."
Slater counted.
"A thousand dollars."
Colenso remained unmoved.
"It's quite tempting. Many children on the street are short of money to buy candy."
"Daily wages."
"Very well, I did it."
"I paid such a high price to hire you, it's not just a simple job as a guide. I won't need you in the next two days, so I'll hand him over to you first."
Slater pointed at Gu Qingchi, who had been distracted during their conversation, looking down at a bottle of wine on the table. Suddenly, he was cueed and looked up in confusion.
"You are responsible for making him integrate into your group. You must take him with you in your daily life and entertainment."
Colenso looked at his companions and curled the corners of his mouth.
"I've lived for so many years, and it's always been other people who teach their children to stay away from me."
Slater twisted his neck.
"Humph, I wouldn't let my actors get close to you if the role didn't require it, but there's something good about you."
He looked at Colenso.
"You don't touch that thing, and don't let anyone else touch it, otherwise I won't let my actor associate with you, it would be equivalent to destroying him. Of course, other than that, I still have reservations about other things about you."
The crew is filming.
This scene is Gu Qingchi’s part. This is his first scene and his first meeting with the male lead.
The character played by Gu Qingchi is called Silva.
The classroom was noisy, with the only exception being Silva, who was sitting by the window in the back row, chewing gum and looking out the window.
But even though the camera was shooting the entire classroom and didn't zoom in, among so many people, the first person you saw was still Silva standing quietly by the window.
He was so eye-catching, with pure black hair and black eyes, and an extraordinary appearance and posture.
The new music teacher opened the door and walked into the classroom, and the noise quieted down a bit.
"I'm your Latin, um, music teacher. Let's get to know everyone in the first class. Is there anyone willing to stand up and introduce themselves?"
As if the new teacher's background had been figured out, the noise in the classroom started to get louder again.
The new teacher's self-introduction and subsequent words were drowned out by the noise.
Only Silva is the same as he was at the beginning, as if everything in the outside world has nothing to do with him.
Then Silva stood up suddenly, and his chair hit the table behind him with a crashing sound.
The classroom seemed to have been paused, and all the sounds disappeared completely, but they either lowered their heads and stared at the table in front of them, or no one looked at Silva.
He stood up and left through the back door.
However, even after he left, the entire classroom remained silent.
The new music teacher broke the silence and asked tentatively.
"Well, let's learn a song together first?"
As soon as this sentence was finished, the staff clapped their hands.
"Card!"
Slater was quite satisfied with this part, as the main emotional expression was on Allen. Gu Qingchi's character did not require much emotional expression, but the plot was relatively good, and Gu Qingchi's temperament and demeanor were there, and the feeling of the character came out all at once.
But it wasn’t that simple afterwards.
Slater pointed at Colenso who had been waiting nearby and said to Gu Qingchi.
"There's nothing for you to do next. Go play with Colenso."
There Colenso stood up straight.
"Walk?"
