Chapter 47 Chapter 47 Do you know?
Most of the scenes in the bar are focused on Meng Qingyan. After shooting the last two scenes in the afternoon, Bai You can return to the set and go to Group B to shoot scenes with other actors.
When entering the first room, Meng Qingyan had just put on makeup and was walking down the spiral staircase of the bar.
Seeing Bai You's figure from afar, he stopped leaning against the railing, with a faint smile in his eyes.
"Qing Yan..." Noticing his expression, Zhou Lian stopped talking and looked outside in the direction of his gaze.
"What?" Zhou Lian was puzzled. "Did you ask Teacher Bai to bring you something delicious?"
"Aren't we going to shoot a love scene this afternoon?" Meng Qingyan answered nonchalantly and perfunctorily, "Let's get the feel for it in advance."
"You can go ahead, right?" Zhou Lian said, "We'll shoot the stage play this afternoon."
Zhou Lian has been married for a long time and is quite knowledgeable and tactful in his relationship with his wife, but strangely, he always seems to be a bit stiff and dull towards other people.
Hearing this, Meng Qingyan curled the corners of his lips but said nothing.
In just a few words, Bai You had already approached the stage.
Tao Yin went over to pick him up and handed him a bag.
"Wu's duck tongue." Tao Yin smiled happily, "Teacher Meng had someone send it to me."
He lowered his voice again, "It's great to have money. Wu Ji never did delivery before."
She offered her treasure first, and then remembered to ask, "Did you have lunch?"
Bai You didn't eat and had no appetite at all, but he didn't want Tao Yin to worry, so he nodded and lowered his eyes to take the paper bag that Tao Yin handed over. .
Inside was canned Wu Ji duck tongue, which he had seen many people share online before, but he had only eaten it a few times.
And the last time was when they bought pajamas for each other by chance, and she bought it on purpose to make things difficult for Meng Qingyan.
Thinking about it now, it all seems like it happened just yesterday.
Bai You raised his eyes and met Meng Qingyan's lowered eyes from a distance.
He had already changed into his costume, ripped jeans, a long black T-shirt, and a headscarf, which made his facial features look more three-dimensional and profound.
The moment their eyes met, the corner of his lips slowly curled up, and that sharp handsomeness almost struck people's hearts.
Bai You felt as if his heart was hit hard by something, hitting a place that was severely blocked, causing numbness and slight pain.
There was no expression on his face, and he even smiled back cooperatively. Only then did he shift his gaze and go to Zhou Lian.
"Teacher Bai is here just in time," Zhou Lian called Meng Qingyan again, "Qingyan, come down too, and tell us about the next scene."
Meng Qingyan came over quickly, and the three of them put their heads together to discuss the scenes that would be filmed next.
The first few shots focused on Meng Qingyan and the band members. Bai You went upstairs to touch up her makeup after Zhou Lian finished explaining the play.
His makeup was simple, and the makeup artist was already familiar with it, so it was done in just a few minutes.
But Bai You did not go down to watch Meng Qingyan's filming as usual.
He came out of the temporary dressing room and went to the screening area on the other side of the second floor. Relying on his memory, he found the screening room where he and Meng Qingyan had spent the night.
The door of the screening room was not locked, probably because someone had used it at noon. Bai You pushed the door open and saw the scene in his memory.
But this time it was much clearer than last time, because the blackout curtains were open, and a ray of sunlight shone on the sofa in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows.
Bai You went in, bent down and pulled up the thin blanket that had fallen to the ground at a corner of the movie seat, then walked around the seat to the window.
Half a bottle of red wine was placed on the table and confiscated. There were two cigarette butts in the ashtray, which was the brand that Meng Qingyan usually smoked.
He stood up straight and when he tilted his head he realized that the screen was on. It was obvious that Meng Qingyan had watched a movie here at noon, but he paused it at this moment.
The light in the room was very bright and Bai You couldn't see the picture on the screen clearly.
There was only a little time left at noon, and he was a little curious about what Meng Qingyan was looking at.
Furthermore, it is probably because Meng Qingyan is so "diligent and studious" that he can usually do things in a set way.
Bai You pursed his lips.
It’s not easy to peek at something with a mobile phone, but it should be okay for movies, right?
He couldn't resist the temptation, closed the blackout curtains, then found the remote control and started playing.
The scenery on the screen began to slowly recede, and Bai You inexplicably felt that it looked familiar.
But he didn't need to think or recall, the picture had already given him the answer.
The camera moved from outside to inside, and through the car window glass, he saw his still slightly childish profile.
This was a minor role in his early years.
After the cold coffee incident, his career hit a low point, coupled with the deliberate attacks from Feng Yu and He Dajin, as well as the various attacks from netizens who didn’t know the inside story, and the departure of his friends one after another…
After being silent for a while, he finally faced reality and adjusted himself back to the cold-hearted state he was in school. He started to take on some minor roles, quietly waiting for opportunities while being able to support himself.
During that period, he took on a lot of scripts, most of which were one or two or three page character scripts with very few parts.
If he had not seen this scene at this moment, he would have even forgotten that he had filmed such a scene: the hero's friend had a car accident on the way home, thus interrupting the date between the hero and the heroine, causing misunderstandings between them.
In the entire movie, he only has one shot like this, with only one side profile.
Bai You stood there in a daze, his nerves unconsciously tense. He held the remote control tightly in his hand, watching the images on the screen switch smoothly.
It's already his other role.
After two minor roles with very few scenes, Bai You fast-forwarded the film with the remote control.
As expected, his face was all over the screen in every frame.
Laughing, crying, reserved, extroverted...
It seems that every shot of his since his debut has been recorded here, and has been repeatedly viewed and carefully treasured.
At this moment, he was the only one left in the room.
Inside the screen, outside the screen...
But Bai You just felt panicked and scared.
If he still had some hope on the way back, thinking that if Meng Qingyan denied it, he would still believe him and pretend that what happened today had never happened.
Now, he no longer has any room for escape.
How could Meng Qingyan be possible?
Bai You couldn't believe it.
Or, when did Meng Qingyan start to have such thoughts about me?
How many times has he watched these scenes?
And that night, had he just watched this video?
So hugging yourself is not random at all?
…
The phone rang, it was Tao Yin.
Bai You suddenly came back to his senses from the blankness, hurriedly rewound the film back to its original position, then clicked pause and walked out.
But after he walked out of the room, he stopped again, leaned against the wall and took a deep breath for a moment, trying hard to force the scene that Zhou Lian had told him before into his brain bit by bit, and then he went downstairs.
"Youyou," Tao Yin was running upstairs, probably because no one answered the phone. When she saw him, she said, "It's your turn."
"Yeah." Bai You nodded. Although there was no emotion on his face, his feet still felt light and unreal.
This is still a stage play.
Under the dim light, Bai You casually twirled the drumstick between his fingers twice, then smashed it down heavily.
His drumming has always been reserved, never so passionate and wild. Almost in an instant, he ignited the atmosphere on the stage.
After filming a scene, Bai You finally let out some of the pent-up emotions in his heart. When Zhou Lian signaled to stop, Meng Qingyan glanced back.
The lights were not on yet, but the dim ball lights were spinning, and different spots of light fell on Bai You's snow-white face, dyeing him with various colors.
He lowered his eyes and looked at the drumstick in his hand, which looked particularly quiet, as if the restlessness caused by the drumbeat just now was all an illusion.
"Very good." Zhou Lian held up his loudspeaker, very satisfied with the scene.
Bai You then raised his eyes. It was not known whether it was because of the light or something else, but the corners of his eyes seemed to be stained with a light crimson color.
Meng Qingyan's heart skipped a beat. He walked over, leaned over and pulled the drumstick out of Bai You's hand.
"Are you feeling uncomfortable?" Meng Qingyan whispered.
"No." This was not the right time, Bai You suppressed all the words in his heart and just said, "This time Wu Ji's duck tongue is spicier than before."
As he spoke, a smile ignited in his raised eyes and he looked at Meng Qingyan very intently.
Meng Qingyan is so pretty.
Although his appearance and age are at their sharpest, his heart is already rich and solid, calm and reserved, knowing when to advance and retreat.
Out of habit, Bai You always treated him as his "younger brother" intentionally or unintentionally, and was quite indulgent towards his various outrageous requests.
But now that I think about it, judging from the depth of his cunning, maybe I am the "little brother" who is being manipulated by him without even realizing it.
Everyone in the audience was busy preparing for the next show.
Bai You stood up and raised an eyebrow at Meng Qingyan: "How about doing the next scene in one go?"
The end is a kissing scene.
During the break in the performance, Zhong Ling accompanied Chen Nian to the bathroom and happened to hear those sticky and ambiguous sounds in the cubicle.
Zhong Ling was a bastard and immediately dragged Shen Nian into the compartment as well.
The two people next door were discussing their wedding while being intimate, their voices were fragmented but warm, but Shen Nian and Zhong Ling had an uncertain future, and they didn't know what kind of fork in the road they would go to in the future.
It was originally just a playful act, but at that moment, as the two of them kissed silently in the cubicle, they both felt a little desperate.
Therefore, this kiss was particularly crazy and passionate.
Bai You has always been a little slow to warm up to romance scenes, and most of the time he needs Meng Qingyan’s emotional guidance.
But today, he suddenly exploded.
The camera moved forward until they were almost able to touch each other's cheeks, and on the monitor, Zhou Lian could see the tears in Shen Nian's eyes.
They kissed passionately, and because the other party was too strong, Shen Nian's waist bent back into a beautiful arc.
"OK." Zhou Lian shouted.
But the kiss in the cubicle did not stop, it just became slower and slower. As Bai You stepped back, Meng Qingyan chased after him and gently kissed his lips.
No one interrupted them until Bai You lowered his eyes and rested his forehead on Meng Qingyan's shoulder.
"Is it almost done?" Zhou Lian asked, and there was a burst of good-natured laughter from the surroundings.
Bai came out first, said goodbye to everyone, and returned to the set with Tao Yin to start filming of Group B.
The shooting lasted until after nine o'clock in the evening. When they finished shooting and returned to the hotel, it was already half past nine. Bai You returned to the room and saw Meng Qingyan at a glance.
He was sitting on the sofa at the end of the bed, his legs crossed, reviewing documents with his eyes downcast.
Hearing the sound of the door opening, the pen in his hand suddenly stretched out, leaving a long mark on the corner of the document.
The two men's eyes met, and the air was solemn.
"Meng Qing..."
"You know it."
Almost at the same time, they both spoke.
Although they didn't say what they knew, they both understood it tacitly.
Bai You walked closer to him and looked down at him condescendingly.
Obviously, he was supposed to be the judge, but at this moment, he couldn't be as righteous and domineering as he was when he was a child.
"You are much smarter than I thought." Meng Qingyan looked up at him, with a gentle smile in his peach blossom eyes.
"When did it happen?" Bai You asked, and then asked, "Or, is there anything else that I don't know?"
"I don't know." Meng Qingyan looked at him and said softly after a moment, "I'm not sure when it started."
Bai You felt sad, or maybe it was just a dilemma.
A long time ago, he didn't like Meng Qingyan.
Because his halo is too great, and also because no one would really like the so-called "other people's children", but would like a reference object that makes them look extremely bad in comparison.
But later, by some strange coincidence, they came together in a shady way.
He slowly discovered the shining points in Meng Qingyan and was happy to enjoy all the time they spent together.
However, at that time he didn't know Meng Qingyan's feelings, and there was no debt between them.
But now, if he knew the other person's feelings and still let it go, then he would be suspected of playing with other people's feelings, which goes against his philosophy of dealing with people.
I clearly thought that they could hold on until the filming of Building No. 8 was completed, and then naturally break off the relationship.
But now, they suddenly couldn't even wait for Building 8 to finish.
Bai You is suddenly about to lose two very important people in his life.
Meng Qingyan and optimal selection.
His heart felt empty, like a ship that had lost its anchor.
Something that was originally very firm in my heart suddenly shattered in silence.
It seemed like Meng Qingyan was playing a malicious trick on him, but it also seemed like he wasn't.
Because what he brought to himself, whether as Meng Qingyan or as Youxuan, was the most positive energy.
At this moment, Bai You seemed to be suspended in mid-air, unable to go up or down.
He rarely feels this indecisive, and the only time he did so was towards Jin Baobao.
"Why do you do this to me?" he asked, remaining rational and calm. "Give me a reason to forgive you."
"So what should I do?" Hearing this, Meng Qingyan slowly stood up. He no longer suppressed the sense of oppression on his body and approached Bai You step by step. He did not feel guilty at all, but seemed to be asking sincerely, "I remember that when Mr. Bai was interviewed just after his debut, he said that he was single."
Bai You thought of the scenes and frames on the screen in the projection room, and had no doubt that he had seen the interview with him.
But his next words made his eyes suddenly widen.
"I still remember the way Teacher Bai rejected others when we were little," Meng Qingyan said. "When Teacher Bai was in elementary school, he had a pretty good friend, right? One time after school, he gave Teacher Bai a rose on the path outside and confessed his love to her. What did Teacher Bai do?"
Bai You remembered.
That was his only friend in elementary school.
The other party never laughed at his background, nor said anything weird because of his appearance. He just treated him as an ordinary classmate.
Later they became desk mates. As they spent a long time together, the qualities displayed by the other person made him feel relaxed, and he slowly opened his heart.
But in the end, all they did was go home together after school occasionally.
But one day after school, the other party suddenly stopped him on the path behind the school.
He took out a few wrinkled roses from his schoolbag, blushed and confessed to him that he had liked him for a long time.
Bai You was very disappointed. He threw the roses at his face and avoided him like the plague from then on.
And this was his most gentle rejection.
There were also people who said obscene words to him when they confessed their love, and he would make them bleed on the spot, or even piss and shit themselves.
He always seemed to be extreme when it came to confessing.
Because he is not good at dealing with such things.
But how could Meng Qingyan know these secret events from the past?
"At that time," Meng Qingyan lowered his eyes and gave him the answer, "I was sitting in the car next to me and witnessed the whole process."
Before Bai You could recover from his shock, Meng Qingyan approached him again.
"Teacher Bai," he asked, "If on Valentine's Day, I told you that I prepared that bouquet of roses for you with great care, would you avoid me and even reject Building 8? If I told you that I actually prepared 1,314 roses, but only chose 100 of them because the bouquet was too large, would you think I was crazy?"
