Chapter 88
Chapter 88
Xiao Ping didn't stay in City S all the time. In the past few years, he went around several big film and television studios and got to know a lot of go-betweens.
Even if the occasional roles he gets are better than the extras, most directors still refuse him to play the roles that show his face.
This was indeed quite a continuous blow to him, for which he was depressed for a while.
There was a middleman named Qi Hongyu who felt sorry for him, and often asked him to have a meal together, saying, "Brother, to tell you something from the bottom of my heart, it is more effective than anything else to beg those directors who admired you. Hold your thighs Beg them, if it’s impossible, ask them to give you the phone numbers of some young directors, don’t be afraid of losing face, in life, losing face is inevitable.”
Xiao Ping understood that he was doing this for his own good.
However, Xiao was used to it with his conceit, and he absolutely couldn't do this kind of thing, and he didn't want to do it.
In any case, his first speaking role in recent years was from Qi Hongyu, but the filming process was not very pleasant.
This is a TV drama crew. The actors in the crew, including the leading actor, Xiao Ping, don't recognize them all. I just heard that a few of them are very popular this year.
He didn't recognize the other party, but someone on the other side recognized him.
The leading actor Ding Aoxiang seems to be the best newcomer of this year's TV drama, the two met in the bathroom one night, Xiao Ping had just finished washing his hands when he heard Ding Aoxiang call him, and asked him provocatively: "It's really you? I've seen your movies before, but I didn't expect you to be playing tricks."
Xiao Ping ignored it and lit a cigarette on his own, preparing to leave.
According to Lei Fuchao's way of thinking, it is human nature to step on a dog in the water. If you want to retaliate, there is no need to retaliate dryly now. It is far better to lean over and smile at the other party when you return to the peak.
According to his own thinking, there is no need to offend people now.
"Yes." He tried his best to answer calmly with a cigarette in his mouth, "It's me, thank you for your box office contribution."
Ding Aoxiang's fighting ability was not good at all, he choked on a simple sentence, and was speechless for a while.He went straight around Ding Aoxiang and left the bathroom, but the fingers holding the cigarette kept trembling slightly, knowing that the next few days would not be too happy.
In other film crews before, he had felt the surprise and ridicule of the people around him, but Ding Aoxiang was the first one to speak out and try to annoy him.
Then Ding Aoxiang definitely couldn't just provoke him once.
There are usually very few supporting roles, and the filming can usually be completed within a few hours at most. Anyway, he does not show his face, and the crew who accept him as a supporting role will definitely use him repeatedly, and he is also happy to save himself from traveling.As a result, the time he and Ding Aoxiang were in the same group was delayed and delayed. Within two days, all the actors in the crew looked at him strangely.
Xiao Ping only doesn't care about it, even if he does, there is nothing he can do at the moment.
At the end of the month, he managed another street scene involving a masked killer, and gradually figured out why Ding Aoxiang hated him so much.There are quite a few extras in costume dramas. Although he is a high-level extravagant actor who has been used repeatedly, once his face is covered, the director with a bad temper and poor patience is often misunderstood. He can't remember who is behind the mask. He will ask Ding Aoxiang: "What kind of best newcomer are you? Why don't you have a good acting skills like a dragon?"
The newcomer really needs time to grow up. If Ding Aoxiang had a more normal attitude and didn't vent his anger, Xiao Ping might have helped him out, but now he has turned a blind eye.
It's just that Ding Aoxiang has a tendency to intensify. For example, in the confrontation with the masked killer this time, Ding Aoxiang deliberately hit hard, not daring to make any big troubles, and at least kicked him hard in the upper abdomen.
Just now Xiao Ping lifted up his clothes and took a look, the area was already bruised rapidly.
Xiao Ping didn't like to talk to him, so he found a random place to sit down and play with his mobile phone after he came out of the camera.Lei Fuchao has a live talk show tonight, and he is waiting.He hasn't seen Lei Fuchao for a long time, the movie doesn't count, the movie is not what Lei Fuchao looks like recently.
Unexpectedly, only 5 minutes before the broadcast, Ding Aoxiang bumped into him again.
Hearing the sneer, Xiao Pingcai looked up and noticed the presence of Ding Aoxiang.
"The film king," Ding Aoxiang called him triumphantly, "I just asked the director for a corpse role for you, or the role of the two of us, are you moved?"
To be honest, originally Xiao Ping really didn't want to offend anyone at this stage.
Dante Aoxiang obviously didn't intend to go any further. He didn't have earphones at hand, and if the environment was noisy, he might not be able to hear the sound of the program clearly later.
Xiao Ping silently took a deep breath, and answered Ding Aoxiang helplessly: "As you wish, I will leave this crew tonight."
Ding Aoxiang twitched the corner of his mouth vaguely, he seemed to be smiling, but he didn't seem to be smiling either. Xiao Ping didn't care too much, but carefully put the phone away, then grabbed Ding Aoxiang by the collar, and gave him two punches, knocking him He slammed to the ground and kicked his stomach.
"Get out, don't bother me, kick the bridge of your nose next time." Xiao Ping bent down grimly and said, "If you dare to say it, I can find a hundred ways to deal with you at the ends of the world. You are a celebrity, and the itinerary is too easy to get." gone."
Ding Aoxiang must have not thought of this at all, he was stunned all of a sudden, and even forgot to stand up and fight back.In fact, even Xiao Ping didn't think of it himself.
Seven or eight years ago, Cheng Zhu once hurled insults at him, and he dared not say a word; four or five years ago, Liu Pian and Lei Fuchao stood in front of him to deal with any major incidents. .Since he was a child, although he has also fought, he may have never lost such a serious temper or thrown such a cruel word.
If you think about it carefully, maybe it's because there are almost always people guarding it.
Xiao Ping flicked the cigarette ash standing on the spot, smiled wryly for a while, and swallowed the second half into the flames of burning shredded tobacco.
He knew that he wouldn't take Ding Aoxiang seriously, but Ding Aoxiang didn't know. Ding Aoxiang was taken aback by the decisiveness of his actions, and he confessed in minutes, and almost hugged his leg again to apologize sincerely , he quickly quickened his pace, took out his cell phone and left first.
But the crew couldn't wait any longer.
·
In the talk show, Lei Fuchao's complexion was a little pale, at least he had lost more than a dozen catties, and his voice was hoarse with scratches, which made Xiao Ping frown.Naturally, at the beginning, the host also asked a simple question, and Lei Fuchao responded calmly: "Busy." The host suddenly realized, and brought the topic to Chuanyu and Chuanyu's rising strength in the past two years.
In general, Xiao Ping was very happy to watch this interview, because he could see that Lei Fuchao was very proud of Chuanyu's current achievements. Mentioned many big names in the music industry, the tone is relatively familiar, Lei Fuchao must be developing well.
Just thinking about Lei Fuchao's appearance like a fish in water, proud of himself, and being recognized everywhere, the little stars in Xiao Ping's eyes almost hit the screen.Xiao Ping felt that everything should go well for Lei Fuchao.
There are only two spoilers.
One is that in the middle of the interview, after Lei Fuchao changed his posture a little, he pressed his eyebrows hard, obviously feeling a little uncomfortable.Xiao Ping suspected that he had a stomach problem, but he didn't cover any place with his hands, and quickly turned his attention back to the host's question.
The second is that there is a part of the program where the audience asks questions. There are five seats in the off-site audience, and the off-site audience can also send questions by sending text messages, so that guests can be randomly selected and answered.
The disappointment is that the first question is related to him. It is asked: "I have wanted to ask this question for a long time. Have you and Xiao Ping developed separately? Why have no intersection?"
When Xiao Ping heard the rules of this link, he felt a "thump" in his heart, anticipating that there would be such a problem.Lei Fuchao must have expected it too, but none of them expected that among the first four questions alone, the word "Xiao Ping" accounted for two of them.
After all, they were inseparable in the past, and it seems that there are quite a few people who are curious about this matter.
At first, Lei Fuchao's reaction was quite decent, they all passed Tai Chi, and replied: "Everyone has his own ideas.", "I believe his future will be better.", "Guess whether we are still in touch or not?" Later, it gradually became apparent that he was unable to do what he wanted, and his expression became more and more gloomy.As soon as he frowned, Xiao Ping's heart ached. He gritted his teeth and hurriedly called the program team.
It was very strange, this was the second thing Xiao Ping did tonight that he never decided to do before.It turns out that it is not difficult.
As Xiao expected, the moment he heard his voice, the on-site director was so happy that he directly inserted this call into the "random selection" without hesitation, and the power amplifier was given to the audience and Lei Fuchao. myself.
"I'm Xiao Ping, don't ask." Xiao Ping stared at the screen while blowing the cold wind and said slowly to the phone, "So far, why do you only want the answer and don't consider his mood at all?"
Although it was such an embarrassing call, the on-site director responded excellently, and quickly prepared a set of scripts that would make things not embarrassing, exciting and happy, and gave the host a signal.But Xiao Ping ignored all of this, and hung up the phone neatly before the host picked up the microphone curiously and wanted to speak, leading him to pretend that the two of them hadn't fallen out yet.
In this way, the program team will be extremely embarrassed, and the fans will be a little embarrassed, but for Lei Fuchao, for a long time in the future, he will be able to temporarily get rid of this bad question that has been asked again and again.Afterwards, apart from CP fans, when other people talked about this matter, at most they would only complain about him, Xiao Ping, who didn't know the seriousness and had no EQ, which made everyone unable to come down.
It doesn't matter.
It's a pity that in the first half of the program, Lei Fuchao smiled happily. When he heard his voice, he suddenly held the microphone with both hands behind his back, his face was obscure, and in the second half, he only had a polite expression.Xiao Ping was careful not to appear in front of him, because he didn't want to make him unhappy.
It sucks.
Xiao Ping's mood gradually became depressed.
Whether it was Ding Aoxiang's behavior before, the hard work and grievance of being forced to play a small role day and night after falling into the high altar, or all kinds of supercilious eyes around him, even Lei Fuchao's deliberately avoiding attitude towards him, did not make him feel There is so sad.
The reason for his sadness is that until now, he is still destroying Lei Fuchao's life.
He didn't know if Lei Fuchao would even regret knowing him eight years ago.
There was still a segment left in the show, but Xiao Ping didn't want to watch it anymore.An hour ago he was full of anticipation for it, and now his heart is empty, as if something has been stolen.
Obviously that thing no longer belonged to him.
He lowered his hands, turned off his phone, and looked down at the toes of his shoes.
·
The interview continues.
After what happened just now, the atmosphere became less than ideal.Seeing that the show was coming to an end, the real talk had already been finished, the host simply adjusted the rest of the questions in a gentle and down-to-earth manner, not talking about anything else, just talking about trivial matters.
For example, she asked: "I heard that the only ad you took on was a food ad. Why? Make an exception for it, because you really like to eat it?"
"Yes," Lei Fuchao admitted frankly, "I really like that brand of Hong Kong-style milk tea. One year after drinking it, my mother called me and asked me: 'Chaochao, why did you gain weight all of a sudden? So much? Overeating is bad! Mom won’t criticize you for being skinny anymore!’ In fact, I just binge-drank a few cartons of milk tea.”
Of course Ruan Yu didn’t say that. He added fuel to the scene with half-truths and half-fakes. The hostess laughed with him, and the audience laughed too. That’s all.
Another example is that the host also asked: "A singer told me that you actually sing very well. He even thought about inviting you to be a guest at the concert. It's a pity that I couldn't hear it. May I ask if you have sung in public outside the recording studio?" song?"
"Yes." Lei Fuchao recalled her question for a while, and said, "Three or four years ago, on another talk show, one of your colleagues sinisterly urged me to sing a little part."
"Oh? What song?" The host asked, "Is it my own song? Then I'll be a bit more sinister, and sing us a part today, okay?"
Of course Lei Fuchao understands, the script is already messed up, this means he wants to use this song to end the show.
After a pause, he said, "It's not my own song. I didn't write many songs back then. I sang "I Only Care About You"."
……
Backstage, Lei Fuchao didn't say hello to the staff of the program group, but called the assistants who came with him, packed up and left quickly.
It was an accident that Xiao made a phone call to speak, but those questions were more or less intentionally arranged by the program team, trying to make a gimmick out of him.Although hype is unavoidable in the entertainment industry, it is absolutely impossible to use Xiao to hype. He proposed this point at the beginning and refused.
Hu Xiao probably also heard about the whole thing, so he called him and said he wanted to invite him to dinner, but he didn't agree.
After leaving the studio, he went downstairs and drove the car a few hundred meters away, and there was a riverside avenue. He got out of the car and walked along the river against the night wind for a while before he managed to calm down a little. The assistant followed him slowly. drive a car.
It was very windy tonight, because it had rained during the day, the air was humid and cold, the surface of the river was slightly wrinkled, and the lights on the riverside were gorgeous, killing the moon and driving the stars.Two or three years ago, one day he and Xiao Ping also walked this road together. It was also autumn, the water was swaying, and the water plants were faint. Stepping on the lights and the light of dusk, he wanted to hold Xiao Ping's hand very much.
It's not that they haven't held hands at all. It's normal for friends to shake hands, hold hands, and hug. But after being tempted, he immediately realized that the same action will evoke different thoughts in different moods.
Whether they need to touch each other's fingers according to the script during acting, whether it's someone who doesn't stand still and who stretches out his hand in a hurry, or at this moment, his heart is beating eagerly, and he wants to completely pull that hand into his own world. no the same.
While walking, he hesitated for a long time alone, shoulder to shoulder, Xiao Ping didn't realize it.He knew that this meant that even if he really took Xiao Ping's hand suddenly, Xiao Ping would not hesitate to think that it was just an ordinary intimate gesture between good friends - he usually thought that way - but he A little nervous, a little restless, a little irrational.
Until this road was about to come to an end, and they were about to go to the next road, he was still hesitating.
But unexpectedly, Xiao Ping grabbed his hand.
"Brother Lei!" Xiao Ping pointed to him excitedly, "The strawberry candied haws you have been looking for for a long time!"
He was taken aback immediately, he didn't care about strawberry candied haws in any mood.At that time, the weather was cold, but he was throbbing with anxiety, and a lot of sweat oozed out of his palms.He was afraid that Xiao Ping would find it tricky.
Fortunately or unfortunately, Xiao Ping didn't find anything tricky. Although he glanced at his left hand in doubt, he just asked, "Stomach hurt? Why are you sweating?"
Lei Fuchao forgot how he answered.
I just remember that after that, Xiao Ping logically took him to buy candied haws, claiming that he suspected that he must be getting sick again, checked his palms several times, and then just started playing, writing messily on it, writing Either "is it sweet?" or "what a big strawberry!", it doesn't mean much, in short, it just refuses to let go of his hands and his heart properly, making him itchy constantly and his mouth dry.
Later, Xiao Ping's palms also sweated, a very thin layer, Lei Fuchao wasn't sure if it was because Xiao Ping was tired of walking around like a little sparrow all the time.
The waves on the river are still the same, the lamps are golden, and the pieces of gold are floating. Lei Fuchao retracts his eyes and memories, and no longer misses the past.
In the studio today, the moment Xiao Ping's voice sounded, he almost stood up from the sofa, and it took a lot of effort to hold back.It is true that he had resisted the name and those questions for a long time before, but after hearing clearly what Xiao Ping was saying, he gave up all unimportant emotions for a second.
He even thought about it, a few years have passed, Xiao Ping is still so incapable of being a human being, probably he has suffered a lot outside, right?
But it was Xiao Ping who left first. If Xiao Ping would rather look at his life from afar with affection than come back, he would not beg or force him.
He could only think silently in his heart, before December, or before the New Year's Eve is completely over, as long as Xiao Ping comes back once, and he can see Xiao Ping once he opens his eyes, he will not care about any face or anything. Regardless, immediately put down the embankment and hugged Xiao Ping, and asked Xiao Ping if he felt tired from the ups and downs alone, why he was still watching his live broadcast, whether he had been sick or injured in these years... I didn't mention anything else .
Once will do.
He is expecting.
