It’s already the end of April?
Jiang Que stared at the line of words for a few seconds, and then realized that time passed very quickly. It seemed like just a blink of an eye, and a month was almost over.
He hesitated for a moment, holding the phone, before putting it away and walking over to Zhuang Yan. "Director Zhuang."
"Huh?" Zhuang Yan was still reviewing some of the previous footage. He immediately looked up when he heard him shout. "What's wrong?"
Jiang Que whispered a few words to him, and Zhuang Yan listened and nodded slightly in understanding.
On the other side, Song Yecheng was dragged along by Douzi to finish his conversation. He was just about to come over to greet them and go upstairs to change clothes, but unexpectedly, as he approached the two of them, he overheard Jiang Que's words. He immediately forgot what he was going to say and asked in surprise, "You want to go home?"
Although he didn't use any interjections, his tone was already incredibly unbelievable, as if to say, "You're actually going home?" "How can you go home?"
Jiang Que was taken aback by his tone, and for a moment he didn't know how to respond. Zhuang Yan said jokingly, "What are you doing? I didn't sign a contract to sell myself to you, so why are you not letting me go home?"
"No," Song Yecheng ignored Zhuang Yan and continued to look at Jiang Que. "Why do you want to go home? Didn't you agree to stay with the crew this time? How long have we been filming and you're leaving?"
Somehow, Jiang Que inexplicably heard a hint of dissatisfaction in his words, "How can you go back on your word?" He looked at him for a long time before blinking uncertainly and saying, "I'll just... go back for a few days?"
How many days?
Song Yecheng was stunned, and then he realized that he had misunderstood - he thought Jiang Que was going to leave and never come back.
After realizing this, his facial expression slowly changed from "humph" to "oh," as if his entire aura had calmed down. "Ah, a few days... a few days."
What's good about it?
Jiang Que and Zhuang Yan were both at a loss for words. Song Yecheng suddenly seemed to come to his senses and asked, "What are you going back for?"
Jiang Que said truthfully, "Help He Jingsheng get something."
Hearing the words "He Jingsheng," Song Yecheng's expression changed instantly. It was hard to tell how it changed, but it looked as if a hint of vigilance suddenly appeared in his originally calm aura. "What is that?"
Jiang Que choked. He really didn't expect him to keep asking questions. "Just... help him record a song."
"You can sing too?" Song Yecheng's voice was half suspicious and half surprised, as if he had discovered some new world.
"No," Jiang Que almost laughed at his question, "I'm just recording an accompaniment on the piano."
Song Yecheng paused for two seconds, as if he was thinking about it, and then continued: "So-"
"Tsk, you're not done yet!"
Zhuang Yan listened to this criminal interrogation-like questioning, feeling both angry and amused. He stood up, grabbed Song Yecheng's shoulders, and forcibly turned him around, pushing him towards the door. "Hurry up and change your clothes! If you're not in a hurry to finish work, everyone else is in a hurry to go to bed. You two can talk it over slowly when we get back."
Song Yecheng was pushed out the door by him, and Douzi quickly followed him out. Zhuang Yan turned around and walked back to where he was, saying to Jiang Que, "Don't worry about him. Go back and do what you need. Arrange your own time. Just let me know when you're coming back, and I'll send a car to pick you up at the airport."
Jiang Que didn't sign a contract with the group this time. It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that he was doing voluntary labor, so theoretically his time was completely free. His greeting to Zhuang Yan was just out of courtesy, and it didn't even count as asking for leave.
Jiang Que nodded: "Okay."
Half an hour later.
No. 29, Villa Area.
In the corridor on the second floor, Song Yecheng leaned against Jiang Que's door, one hand in his pocket and the other holding a glass of warm water: "Are you done packing?"
The bedroom was dimly lit with only the small lights in the four corners of the ceiling. Jiang Que took the suitcase out of the closet and leaned it against the wall. "There's nothing much to pack, just one suitcase."
He booked a flight for tomorrow morning, but the villa was still some distance away from the city, so he had to leave early tomorrow morning.
Song Yecheng looked around the room and found that the laptop on the table was still turned on and connected to the power supply. He raised his chin towards it and asked, "Don't you have your computer?"
Just after asking, he suddenly remembered that there was a desktop computer in Jiang Que's rental house. Even if he went back to write a book, it should be useful. There was really no need to bring a notebook.
But Jiang Que's considerations were different from his: "No need, I won't be gone for a few days."
I can't go for a few days.
Song Yecheng remained expressionless, but nodded happily in his heart: I won’t be gone for a few days, well, that’s great.
At this moment, the cell phone in his pocket vibrated.
He took it out and took a look, and was surprised to find that the person who sent the message was Gu Yun.
[Gu Dao: [File]]
Director Gu: Want to see the music video we mentioned last time?
Song Yecheng was stunned for a moment, then he remembered that he was talking about the MV of the theme song of "Tian Jiang Xue". He had said at the last opening party that he would send it to him to see after it was done. Now he guessed that it has been completed.
Song Yecheng casually clicked on the file, waited for two seconds, and found no movement at all. After trying to poke and fiddle with it a few times, a row of question marks finally appeared above his head:???
Jiang Que looked at his increasingly puzzled expression and couldn't help but feel curious: "What's wrong?"
Song Yecheng walked up to him with his phone: "Why can't this file be played?"
Jiang Que looked at the unusual suffix behind the file on the screen. He couldn't figure out what format it was for a moment and could only guess, "Maybe it doesn't support mobile phone playback?"
As he spoke, he gestured towards the table: "Why don't you try using the computer?"
Song Yecheng glanced at the notebook on his desk. Thinking that computers were personal belongings after all, he couldn't help but glance to the side to confirm, "Using yours?"
Jiang Que was a little confused by his question: "What else? Did you bring your computer?"
"No."
"That's it, isn't it?" Jiang Que said with a smile. He walked straight to the table, moved the phone that had been casually placed on the keyboard aside, and unlocked the computer by prodding the keyboard a few times. "The password is 810. You can use it yourself when I'm not around."
Hearing this, the little joy in Song Yecheng's heart inexplicably rose to a higher level. He nodded obediently and sat in front of the computer, put down the water cup, opened the software, logged into his account, and received and downloaded the file sent by Gu Yun to the desktop again.
Looking at the cover preview and triangular play icon that finally appeared, the two knew that this time there should be no problem. Jiang Que glanced at it and found that the file was unnamed, so he remembered to ask, "What is this?"
"The MV for the theme song of 'Heaven Will Snow'."
There was only one chair in front of the desk. Song Yecheng moved his butt to the side and patted the half of the chair that was left. "Want to watch it together?"
Jiang Que subconsciously lowered his eyes to look at the small open space. He hesitated for a second as if instinctively, but quickly responded, "...Oh."
Song Yecheng moved the hand that was patting the chair back, and after Jiang Que sat down, he put his hand on the back of the chair.
Seen from behind, the posture of the two looked like Song Yecheng hugging Jiang Que. However, it was unclear whether Song Yecheng did it intentionally or unintentionally. Anyway, he looked so serious on the surface as if he was unaware of it. He just put one hand on the back of the chair and clicked on the video with the other hand holding the mouse.
The melodious prelude of the theme song soon came from the speakers. Song Yecheng double-clicked to enlarge the image to full screen, and then withdrew his hand and let it play on its own.
Although the theme song of "Tian Jiang Xue" is in ancient style, the lyrics and music are both quite exciting and chivalrous. Gu Nuo is indeed a master of editing with both talent and skills. He only uses some fragmented images to make a 4-minute MV present a complete story.
From the blind marriage of the prince and princess, who were fed up with each other, to being forced to join hands to deal with the attack of foreign enemies, to fighting side by side on the battlefield, sharing life and death, and finally defeating the enemy and returning triumphantly, they fell in love with each other.
The whole story has a clear outline and ups and downs, and the characters' movements in all the scenes are so precise that they seem to be integrated with the music, making people unable to help but immerse themselves in it and be drawn into the surging emotions.
Jiang Que looked at Song Yecheng in the picture, who was wearing ancient costume and had long hair tied up on his head. He watched him lift his robe to mount his horse, draw his bow and arrow, and shoot the flowers in the falling petals; he watched him look back elegantly, smile uninhibitedly, and a touch of sunset glow appeared on his lips; he watched him raise his arms and shout in front of the three armies, swinging his sword to kill the enemy, like a lightning that splits the sword lights and shadows... It was as if he traveled through the torrent of time and returned to thousands of years ago to see the real prince who was suave and high-spirited.
until--
The prince was seriously injured in a battle and was thrown into the lake by a mad warhorse.
Seeing the warhorse neighing and raising its front hooves, suddenly throwing Song Yecheng off its back, and then drawing an arc in the air and falling into the water, Jiang Que's heart suddenly contracted and he was instantly pulled out of his previous immersion.
That was the scene he had described in "Chengye Chronicles", which was also the scene in which he predicted that Song Yecheng would "fall into the water while filming".
The scene was supposed to have Song Yecheng flying from his horse into the lake via a wire, but due to a wire failure, Song Yecheng suddenly lost his leverage when he was suspended above the water, and ended up crashing directly into the water without any cushioning.
Although the lake where the scene was filmed was not deep, and Song Yecheng, who was a good swimmer, was ultimately unharmed, the scene still gave Jiang Que an extremely uncomfortable feeling of palpitations, causing him to droop his eyelashes as if unable to look directly at it.
Fortunately, the scene disappeared in a flash, and Song Yecheng, who was staring at the screen, did not notice his brief distraction.
Jiang Que calmed himself down a bit, then raised his eyes and looked at the MV again.
At this time, the prince in the story had been rescued by the princess who arrived in time and took him back to the central military camp to be cared for and recuperate. After he recovered from his injuries, the two led their troops to capture the enemy's last garrison, completely destroying their foundation and driving them out of the border.
The main storyline has basically ended here, and what remains is the peaceful and prosperous era after the war has subsided.
As the theme song's flute and piano sounds gradually calmed down, the triumphant prince and his wife, along with countless citizens of Kyoto, released sky lanterns, creating a sky full of stars in the quiet night sky.
After looking up at the sky lantern, the two smiled at each other in slow motion, bringing a warm ending to the story.
The theme song gradually fades away, the picture slowly fades out, and dots of firefly light appear on the black background, and the flowing cursive title of the film slowly emerges - Tian Jiang Xue.
"How do you feel?" Song Yecheng turned around and asked.
As one of the protagonists, it is actually difficult for him to feel involved in this kind of MV, because when he sees each scene, what he can most easily think of is the scene when it was filmed - the positioning of the people, the angle of the machine, and even the gear of the blower that blows away the fallen flowers.
This is also the reason why it is usually difficult for actors to objectively evaluate their own work, because they cannot simply appreciate or examine it from the perspective of the audience, which is a bit like being in the know.
Jiang Que was quite shocked after watching all this from a bystander's perspective, and even felt a little unsatisfied. He nodded and turned to Song Yecheng and said, "I think--"
“Ahhhhhh Song Yecheng—!”
Suddenly, a cry of surprise from the computer speakers interrupted him.
Both of them were startled and turned to look at the screen. They saw that the player that had finished playing the MV had bounced back from full-screen mode to windowed mode, and automatically played the next video without any warning.
In the brightly lit bookstore, the tall Song Yecheng, wearing a baseball cap and a mask, was surrounded by a crowd. The aisles between the surrounding bookshelves were all crowded with people, filled with waves of excited screams.
The camera kept shaking, obviously from the perspective of a bystander filming with his mobile phone. The owner of the phone also kept screaming, making the picture shake even more violently.
But in this chaotic noise, one could still vaguely hear Song Yecheng, who was surrounded in the middle, loudly reminding the people outside not to push, to be careful, and not to be hit by falling books.
…
Sitting in front of the computer, Song Yecheng watched this hot search video from the Taiwan Bookstore six years ago. His first reaction was that this player was quite smart. Even an unnamed MV file could recognize the identity of the actors in the picture and automatically play videos related to the characters.
However, the next second, when his eyes swept across the history records in the playlist on the right, he was stunned for a moment——

There were dozens of playback records in the list, all of which were related to Song Yecheng without exception.
The only playback source is local files.
All file paths: D: Songyecheng Video
The conclusion pointed by all the clues was actually clear enough, but at this moment Song Yecheng's brain seemed to have crashed, and he didn't dare to believe his own judgment for a long time.
Jiang Que actually had a folder named after him on his computer. Not only were so many of his videos stored there by year, but he had also watched each of them dozens of times?!
