Chapter 77 Thirst



The moment Li Zhao walked in, the two young actors who were leaning against each other seemed to be stimulated by something. They suddenly took several steps back, looking extremely panicked.

"You two..."

"Teacher Li, please don't tell anyone about this!" The actor standing against the wall is a student at an art school. He plays Li Zhao's buddy in the movie. He doesn't have many scenes, but he can be seen in many scenes, so he spent a long time on the crew.

The actor who suddenly took a few steps back was a newcomer launched by a third-tier entertainment company. His acting skills were passable and he played a villain in the play.

He looked a little nervous. When Li Zhao looked at him, he lowered his head and did not meet Li Zhao's eyes.

I originally thought that these two people were fighting, but judging from their expressions just now, things are not that simple.

The atmosphere was stagnant, and Li Zhao felt a little regretful. He shouldn't be here, he should be on the set.

"Since Teacher Li has discovered it, we won't hide it anymore." The young actor standing against the wall blushed, feeling a little nervous and shy: "Da Guang and I are lovers, please keep it a secret for us."

Li Zhao took a deep breath and said calmly, "Why do you call me teacher? Didn't you always call me Zhao Zhao before?"

"I just want to show my respect to you." The young artist standing against the wall is called Du Xing. He has a baby face, which limits his acting career.

"Xiao Ming's grandfather lived to be a hundred years old. I will learn from him." Li Zhao pointed outside. "I just came to use the toilet. You guys can do whatever you want."

Daguang and Du Xing stood obediently in the corner, not daring to leave.

Li Zhao came out of the bathroom after using it. Fearing that they would be embarrassed, he washed his hands and walked out of the bathroom calmly. After walking two steps away, I could vaguely hear what Daguang was saying, with anger in his tone.

"Why did you tell Li Zhao about this?" Da Guang was a little unhappy. "If this gets out, we're all done for."

"Didn't he promise us to keep it a secret?" Seeing Daguang's ugly face, Du Xing was not angry. He smiled and comforted him: "Don't be angry, we are just in love, not stealing or robbing."

Daguang still looked unhappy: "People in the entertainment industry have a lot of thoughts. If he says he won't leak secrets, then he really won't leak them."

"Don't worry, I don't think Li Zhao is that kind of person." Du Xing reached out to pull Da Guang's arm. "Besides, he didn't record any video or audio, so no one would believe him even if he told them, right?"

Daguang didn't say anything else, but just pushed Du Xing's hand away.

Li Zhao appeared calm on the surface, but in fact, his heart was already... shaking like an earthquake and a tsunami.

It turns out that the two men have a good relationship, not just buddies, but possibly lovers?

He had heard that there were all kinds of love in the circle, and it was not strange for men and women, but... this was his first time to observe a live version up close.

Just like everyone says, there are dragons in this world, and he also believes that there are dragons, but the kind of shocking feeling that strikes the heart can only be experienced by being there in person.

Li Zhao, who had never seen much of the public, was quite stimulated by the live version and was in shock for the next few hours. When I saw two actresses in the crew holding hands and going to the bathroom, I couldn’t help but wonder, are they friends or lovers?

"Zhao Zhao, what's wrong with you today?" Director Yang found Li Zhao sitting on the lounge chair in a daze, neither reading the script nor playing with his phone. Instead, he was staring at an old tree on the set. He dragged a stool and sat down next to him: "Are you understanding life?"

This is the crew's golden doll, nothing must happen to it.

"Director Yang?" Li Zhao was shocked when he saw Director Yang's big face. "Why are you here?"

"Why do you look so worried?" Director Yang thought Li Zhao was worried about his college entrance examination results, so he patted his shoulder and said, "Don't worry, the film can be finished before school starts."

"I haven't worried about that." Li Zhao said honestly, "I feel like my college entrance exam results won't be bad this time."

Director Yang: “…”

It's a good thing for young people to have confidence.

"Then why are you worried now?" What Director Yang wanted to say was that there will be an important scene later, so you must not let him down.

"I am...understanding the philosophy of life, the origin of species, and the harmony of all things."

Director Yang sighed and patted his shoulder: "Get ready, it will be your scene later."

It's a pity that such a good young man is driven crazy by the college entrance examination.

Da Guang, who was sitting in the corner, saw Li Zhao chatting and laughing with Director Yang, and changed his sitting position uncomfortably.

What is Li Zhao saying to the director?

The director's expression was so helpless, did he know about him and Du Xing?

Li Zhao didn't know what Daguang was thinking. He asked Dake to pay attention to his phone. If Yan Ting came to the crew to pick him up later, he would let Dake bring him directly to the crew.

The movie "Shadows in the Sky" is not a traditional science fiction alien movie. This movie has Chinese-style humor and an understanding of peace, and even goes against the mainstream alien fantasy.

In this movie, humans on Earth will teach aliens how to farm and pursue peace and development in the universe. The image of aliens is not a round head with big eyes, but a ball of fur.

The aliens think that the hairier the creatures are, the more beautiful they are, but they also remember to comfort the male protagonist, saying that they are against discrimination and will not judge people by their appearance.

The male protagonist played by Li Zhao is a staff member of the panda protection base, but his family does not approve of his doing this job and wants him to go home and inherit several mountains, including mines, fruit mountains, and grain mountains.

There is no killing or war in the entire movie. The screenwriter and director are working hard to create a perfect and warm story.

The footage shot in the afternoon was the one where Li Zhao went to the mountains to rescue a trapped panda and nearly lost his life.

The furry alien accompanied Li Zhao to rescue the panda, and complained: "You are so ugly, with only a few hairs, the panda will not look down on you."

"But it's courageous."

Although the crew has big investors and is not short of funds, no matter how rich they are, they cannot hire national treasures to be actors. So the crew used a panda doll, a dog dyed black and white, and a green cloth to save the scene.

It turns out that having money doesn’t mean you can do whatever you want.

The alien hair ball was also post-production, so Li Zhao performed without props from beginning to end.

"Zhao Zhao, you have to remember that even though the panda is not your lover, the way you look at it is more affectionate than when you look at your lover." Director Yang stuffed a panda doll into Li Zhao's arms, "Come, cultivate your relationship with the national treasure first."

The staff on the scene couldn't help but laugh out loud.

Li Zhao held the panda doll and gently stroked its head: "Baby, Daddy loves you."

"Ha ha ha ha."

Yan Ting walked into the crew amidst the laughter of the audience. He stopped when he looked at Li Zhao, who was holding the doll and chattering to him.

"Mr. Ting, the shooting will start in a few minutes. Please sit here and rest for a while." Dake took Yan Ting to sit on Li Zhao's lounge chair. Yan Ting flipped through Li Zhao's script, on which he had made notes with pens of various colors.

The atmosphere on the set was very good, and it was obvious that Li Zhao got along very well with these people.

Yan Ting was quietly flipping through the script and saw a line.

Do you love it? 】

[I love.] 】

[Because it is hairy?] 】

[No, because it is alive. I love life and respect life. 】

Putting down the script, Yan Ting stood up and walked outside the filming area to watch Li Zhao filming.

The makeup artist covered up the wounds on Li Zhao's body, and when the camera was turned on, Li Zhao's aura changed instantly.

He looked at the panda on the cliff with such anxious eyes, as if he wished he could replace the panda with himself. From time to time, he would say a few words to the air next to him.

Obviously, the scene looked a bit ridiculous, but under Li Zhao's interpretation, everyone felt so anxious that they could not breathe.

Halfway through the shoot, the mud on his body had dried, so the makeup artist poured mud on him again.

After filming the entire scene, Li Zhao lay on the ground and joked to the staff who gathered around him: "Child, where is my child?"

"Your child was taken away by the props." Director Yang stepped forward and tapped him with the script, "Get up and change your clothes. It's okay if you don't want to change. We can shoot for a few more hours."

Li Zhao quickly got up from the ground, took the towel and wiped the mud off his face, turned around and saw Yan Ting had come, smiled at him: "Wait a moment, I'm going to change clothes and remove makeup."

Yan Ting nodded: "I'm not in a hurry."

Daguang saw a strange man who was not from the crew coming to see Li Zhao. The two of them seemed quite intimate. He was moved and couldn't help but take out his cell phone.

Just as he was about to press the shutter, the man who had never looked over here suddenly turned his head to look over here.

This look...

As soon as the hand moved, the bright light only captured a blurry shadow.

Daguang put away his phone guiltily, not daring to meet the man's eyes.

A few minutes later, the driver walked up to Yan Ting and whispered, "Sir, that's a supporting actor in the crew, his name is Deng Guang."

"Write it down."

Li Zhao came back after changing clothes and removing makeup. Yan Ting sat on a chair and read his script.

"I'm done." Li Zhao walked briskly, "Let's go home."

Seeing Yan Ting wearing a shirt and tie, Li Zhao handed his handheld fan to Yan Ting: "Cool down with it."

The small fan made a humming sound, which was quite loud, but the wind was not strong.

Yan Ting took it casually and handed him a bottle of ice water: "We have your favorite cheese shrimp tonight."

"Then let's go quickly!"

Li Zhao dragged Yan Ting outside. As soon as he got outside the crew, he saw several little girls looking at him with red faces, their hair wet with sweat.

They looked a little excited, but did not rush over to influence Li Zhao.

"Hello." Li Zhao stopped and looked at them uncertainly, "Are you fans?"

The little girls nodded quickly.

Their homes were nearby, and they heard that a film crew was filming here, and that Li Zhao might be the lead actor, so they walked around outside the set a few times with the mentality of giving it a try, not daring to disturb the crew members.

They didn't expect that they would actually see Li Zhao. The girls were a little excited, but they were afraid that Li Zhao would regard them as unruly fans who would bring trouble to the crew. They were very restrained and did not go forward, and even held back their screams.

"The weather is so hot, you should take precautions against heat stroke." Li Zhao approached the girls and saw that they were no more than 17 or 18 years old. He smiled and asked, "Did you just take the college entrance examination?"

The girls nodded.

"Relax after the exam. It's so boring to stay here." Li Zhao saw a small shop nearby and went to buy a few bottles of water and shared them with the little girl: "Drink more water. Remember to bottle..."

"Don't throw bottles around!" Several little girls answered in unison.

"Go home early, or your family will worry." Li Zhao waved at them, "Don't come next time, it's too hot."

No matter what Li Zhao said, the little girls nodded.

"Zhao Zhao, can we take a photo with you?" a little girl asked timidly, "Actually, we are all your fans."

"Okay." Li Zhao took the phone handed over by the little girl, and found that the angle of the selfie could not capture their faces. He turned his head to look at Yan Ting who was standing next to him and waved at him.

Yan Ting glanced at Li Zhao, then looked at the girls behind him, and walked up to him.

"Take a picture for us, and remember to turn on the beauty filter for the girls."

Yan Ting raised his cell phone.

"Squat down to take pictures, so your legs look longer."

Yan Ting raised his phone, squatted down, and took a few photos with an expressionless face.

The driver looked at this scene and turned his head away silently.

Who else but Mr. Li can make you do these things?

After taking the photo, Li Zhao smiled and said, "Goodbye, be safe on your way home."

"Goodbye, Zhao Zhao." The little girls waved, and after Li Zhao walked away, they could no longer control their excitement and screamed.

"Zhao Zhao Zhenren is so handsome!"

"She looks pretty when she smiles. Ever since Zhao Zhao came into being, I think all the handsome boys in school are just mediocre."

"The man who took the photo for us just now is also very handsome. Zhao Zhao seems to be very close to him."

"Could it be that legendary rich friend?"

"It's possible. I've seen the watch on his wrist in a magazine. It's worth more than seven figures."

"Although he had no expression on his face, he did whatever Zhao Zhao told him to do. I think..."

"Shut up, I'm a pure fan!"

"It's still cool in the car." Li Zhao skillfully took out the ice cream from the small refrigerator and ate it happily.

Yan Ting noticed the cream at the corner of his mouth, took out a handkerchief and reached out to wipe the corner of his mouth.

Li Zhao was slightly stunned, and the scene of Daguang and Du Xing leaning head to head and face to face emerged in his mind.

"What's wrong?" Yan Ting noticed that something was wrong with him at that moment.

"Well..." Li Zhao finished his ice cream and coughed dryly, "Nothing, I just thought of something insignificant."

"Tell me about it." Yan Ting folded the handkerchief and put it into the recycling box next to him.

"Do you think... is it possible for two men to be together?" This was the first time Li Zhao faced such a thing and he was still in a state of enlightenment.

Yan Ting raised his eyes to look at Li Zhao, his dark pupils hiding a myriad of emotions.

"Did I say something wrong?"

"No." Yan Ting lowered his eyelids. "Why do you ask this suddenly? Who told you something?"

"I'm just asking casually, just asking casually."

Yan Ting stroked the watch on his wrist and said calmly: "I think this is normal. When people are attracted to each other, they should put aside the constraints of gender."

"What do you think?" Yan Ting looked at Li Zhao. "Are you...disgusted by this kind of thing?"

"No, not really." Li Zhao quickly shook his head, "I'm just asking out of curiosity."

Yan Ting glanced at him and said, "That's good."

Li Zhao felt that Yan Ting's look at him was meaningful.

Or is he overthinking?

man?

woman?

in love?

Li Zhao looked at Yan Ting and finally came to the conclusion that dating was meaningless and it was more interesting to be with Tingting.

"You want to fall in love?"

Hearing Yan Ting's question, Li Zhao subconsciously said, "Why fall in love? I might as well play with you."

"Yes, I remember that."

Li Zhao raised his head and saw Yan Ting's mouth corners slightly curved.

Tingting... smiled?

Are you laughing? !

This was the first time he saw Yan Ting smile!

People who never smile, smile...

Just like the winter snow melting and the flowers blooming in spring.

Li Zhao unscrewed the bottle of mineral water and gulped down two big gulps.

Why am I thirsty after just eating ice cream?

The author has something to say: Tingting Baby: Zhaozhao took a photo with other girls and asked me to take a photo! Scumbag!
