Sunset red

"Boss: I'm leaving for the set. Do you want me to continue filming this film?"

The text message sent by the subject did not receive a response.

Maybe I haven't woken up at this time.

Shou went out alone, and the assistant who came to pick him up by car was startled when he saw his face: "Are you sick? How about I tell the assistant director and adjust today's shooting time?"

Shou: "It's too late. At this point, the lighting has started to be adjusted, and the extras are in place. Let's go, anyway, it's just a scene..."

There was really only one play today.An action scene.

The male protagonist in the original novel is a muscular athlete. After discovering the murderer who indirectly killed his daughter with the female protagonist, he chased and fought with the other protagonist.

When discussing this plot, the director said he didn't like to use a double, and Shou also expressed his willingness to play in person.Therefore, the film crew put this scene in the middle and late part of the filming schedule, and gave it some time to exercise.

So when Shou appeared on the set with a pale face, both the director and the actress were dumbfounded.

Shou repeatedly apologized: "I'm sorry, I figured that the hero should be in a bad state at this time, so I stayed up all night last night, trying to be more realistic. I accidentally overdid it... Sigh, I'm getting old."

Director: "Can I still play like this?"

Shou: "No problem. I just need a little makeup to cover my complexion."

He was ashamed to face the approving eyes of the actress, and hurried to the dressing room.

For this scene, Shou did train for a long time.But in his current state, it is obviously very difficult to be competent.

After two NGs, Shou has already shown his timidity.

Director: "Can the action be more neat? The facial expression should also follow. This shot is directed at your face! How about the momentum of the last scene?"

Shou nodded, his head was dizzy, and every step felt like he was stepping on cotton.There was a dull pain in his chest, but he was so dizzy that he couldn't tell whether it was the heart, the lungs or the stomach.

The young actor who fought with him looked at him with pity rather than admiration, with "it's not easy being old" written on his face.

Director: "Return to your place, let's do it again."

Shou gritted his teeth.

It's too despicable to hold back the crew because of your own problems.And if today happened to ask for leave to stop acting, what would Gong think of himself?

In fact, Shou Neng vaguely realized that his current psychology was a bit sick.He should completely isolate the matter of attacking and devote himself to the role.

But how can it be isolated?I figured out and interpreted this role by myself, relying on imitation Gong.If you are attacking and facing the enemy, you will definitely be fearless, and the more you fight, the more courageous you will be.

Director: "Ah yes, the expressions are in place!"

The heart is cut like a knife.

Director: "It's a pity that the movements are always a little soft, let's do another one."

I couldn't finish this one.

The director only saw the young actor kicking according to the rhythm of the rehearsal, and Shou pretended to be kicked and fell to the ground, but failed to get up according to the script.

Shou was not in a coma for very long.

When he woke up, he was lying in a hospital closest to the crew.

Shou turned his head and took a look. Sitting beside the bed was his manager and actress.

Manager: "The doctor said there is no major problem, it's just fatigue and hypoglycemia. But it scared me... The production team has asked for leave, and the director wants you to rest for a few more days."

The director was also terrified, afraid of taking responsibility.

The agent brought packed porridge and vegetables, as well as some fruit.

The manager asked for warmth, and confessed again and again: "This period of time has made you too hard."

Shou: "No, no, it's my own problem."

Agent: "By the way, I discussed with the team just now. You need to issue a press release about your fainting on the set, which can be regarded as a promotion for the film."

The agent doesn't shy away from the actresses who are on the sidelines. It's really because the actors' "dedicated" and "desperate" press releases are too common, so it's more strange not to post them.

by:"……"

Shou really felt that his fainting was not caused by filming.Besides, even if it was really caused by filming, this kind of thing shouldn't be made public as an achievement.

However, the agent was sure that he would think so, so he raised the name of the film promotion early in the morning.Shou consciously delayed the progress and felt ashamed of the crew. After thinking about it, he had to use this method to make up for it.

Shou: "Okay."

The manager clapped his hands happily: "Then I'll make a call right away, and I guarantee that the heat will exceed within an hour..." His voice stopped abruptly.

Shou: "Exceed?"

The manager showed embarrassment: "...it doesn't matter who he is, he can surpass him anyway. I'm leaving first and I'll be right back."

The broker is gone.

She stared at his back in bewilderment.

The movie queen sat by the bed and played with her mobile phone calmly: "Do you want porridge?"

Shou sat up slowly: "Please, help me get the phone in the coat pocket." The actress picked up the coat at the end of the bed, took out the phone and handed it over.

Shou bowed his head and unlocked it, and first checked the text message.Gong still didn't reply.

So Shou opened the Weibo hot list and looked at it for a while.

The Queen of Shadows looked at his face, but didn't notice any change in expression.Her eyes moved down to his hands, only to realize that she had looked in the wrong place before.

Shou trembled and put down the phone, but his tone and expression were calm: "Have you had lunch yet? The manager bought so many dishes, let's eat together."

The movie queen did not expose him: "Okay."

She handed the porridge bowl to Shou, but she couldn't help but turn on her phone and glance at Weibo.

On the hot list, the only one related to the entertainment industry was about Xiao Xianrou.The content is that Xiao Xianrou participated in a certain fashion industry event. The dress in the red carpet photos is refreshing and innovative. He is getting more and more handsome and his clothes are getting better and better. "Even XX, XXX, XXX and other big names in the industry treat him He was highly praised and took photos with him."

The accompanying pictures are a number of individual photos and several group photos.

The last group photo was taken by Gong Gong.

Gong in the picture is standing next to Xiao Xianrou, a head taller than Xiao Xianrou.Xiao Xianrou was whispering something in his ear, but he leaned slightly to listen, with a smile on his lips.

In the comment area of ​​this Weibo, apart from the confession to Xiao Xianrou, the most popular one is "Who is the last one?".

"Really! I was fascinated by just looking at it! What a tasteful uncle!"

"I heard that it's the president of XX... Kneeling, obviously you can rely on your strength to make a living, but you have to rely on your face..."

"You don't know this person? One of the top five diamond kings, he also had a lot of lovers back then, but he never touched celebrities, so few people know about him. He recently acquired XX film and television company. Wasn't Lu Xian who was on the cusp a while ago? Which one is holding it?"

"He still has such a figure at this age, the gay guy didn't run away."

"Oh, no, I'm guilty. I looked at this picture and made up [-] words..."

"Hahahaha, go upstairs! I don't know if the president is straight or not, but our idol is a straight man of steel!"

……

This was the first time the movie queen saw Gong's face, but it didn't mean she didn't know the name.

The film is in cooperation with Gong's company, so she naturally did some research.And with her status in the circle, it's hard to miss many rumors.For example, "the funder behind the subject" and the like.

So the queen of the movie also thinks a lot in an instant.But no matter how much she thinks about it, she has no position to speak on this matter.

The actress didn't say anything, and ate lunch in silence.

I really appreciate her silence.

After a moment of silence in the room, the actress suddenly said: "This scene is quite similar to that year."

Shou: "Huh?"

Actress: "When we were playing tricks back then, we would squat down and eat lunch together."

I was stunned.He originally thought that the actress would never talk to him about what happened back then.After all, that period of time was not a good memory for both him and her.

Actress: "At that time, I thought that I would be a fool for the rest of my life."

Shou laughed: "How is it possible? With your strength..."

Actress Queen: "There are as many powerful people in the world as an ox hair, and it's not only one in a thousand who get out of the top in the end? What's more, in our circle, every time we take a step up, we step on bones."

Shou suddenly thought: What kind of ups and downs has the actress experienced during the years when she was dried into salted fish?How much blood has she shed, how many layers of skin have she changed?

Actress: "I always remember the first time I dreamed of becoming an actress because a guy bragged to me, saying that he just lacked some opportunities and that he would become an actor sooner or later. At that time, I thought, what if he really did Here it is? How can I lose to him?"

by:"……"

Actress: "Compared to that year, you have changed a lot."

Shou: "I know."

Actress: "The acting skills are much better. The people are also more attractive."

by:"……"

Actress: "A few days ago, the director even praised you, saying that although you started late, you have a high level of understanding and are so dedicated. He wants to invite you for the next film. I believe that he is not the only one with vision in the industry." She finished eating, packed her lunch box and stood up, "This film may be doomed, but you will have the next one, and the next one. No matter who you live for, you can only live once. Why not What about yourself?"

She is attacking metaphorically.

She was urging him to move on.

The actress doesn't know the inside story, so in her opinion, the problem is very simple: he doesn't need a financial backer.

Shou looked at her with complicated emotions, wanted to say something, but didn't know where to start, so he said dryly, "Thank you."

The movie queen has already walked to the door: "You don't need to thank me, I'm still waiting to see the bullshit you boasted back then."

After the actress left, the agent came back.

Agent: "The press release has been sent. I called the boss just now when you fainted, but he turned off the phone, probably at an event. I'll make another call now..."

Shou: "No, it's not a big deal, don't bother him."

The agent glanced at Shou hesitantly: "That..."

The manager is an insider, who knows the relationship between Shou and Gong, Xiao Xianrou's relationship with the chaebol boss, and also knows that Xiao Xianrou is the male lead in a fake movie.People in this business need a sensitive sense of smell, he can guess that there is some kind of connection between Shou's state today and that photo.

Could it be the worst kind of connection?

Shou didn't want to make it difficult for him, and instead comforted him: "It's okay, I've seen the photos. It's just a social gathering in public. He is a superior, so he has to show the demeanor of a superior."

The manager immediately felt relieved: "...Well, it's good if you can figure it out." It's great to have such a mature artist.

The manager stayed with Shou in the ward all afternoon, and left after get off work, leaving only an assistant to accompany him.

Shou ate dinner, read the script again, and stopped checking Weibo.

After filming the fighting scenes, the film is almost wrapping up.

As a "mature artist", his way of dealing with the problem is: don't think about that photo, and don't think about the words of the actress, because every time you think about it, it will slow down the speed of recovery.He must concentrate on recovering from his illness and return to the set as soon as possible. If there are any problems, we will wait until the filming is finished.

But before turning off the lights and going to bed, he still couldn't help checking the text messages.

There is an unread text message from Gong.

Gong: "I have seriously reflected on it. The root of the problem is that I have invested too much affection for you. This is my mistake. Therefore, for the sake of each other, we need to change our relationship."
