Dust is like a city

Chen Qianchen didn't wake up until the afternoon of the next day. After sleeping for more than ten hours, he couldn't dispel his fatigue from the past few days. Instead, he had a slight headache because of drinking, but according to Xie Xia's plan, he was going to try on makeup this afternoon, so He didn't dare to slack off either.

After I went to take a shower, my head cleared up a bit, and I remembered that Gu Xian and the others sent me back last night. Although the two of them are in the same community, the two buildings they live in are far away, but I didn't expect Gu Xian to come here specially. Let the members drive the car to the parking garage downstairs before waking themselves up, and even send themselves upstairs.

After accepting Gu Xian's help again and again, Chen Qianchen felt a little bit sorry, so he called to express his thanks, and promised to invite Gu Xian to dinner another day.

Gu Xian didn't shirk it, and happily agreed, and chatted with Chen Qianchen a few times, and he didn't hang up the phone until someone seemed to call him to start work.

The two people who were not acquainted with each other before, now have more topics to talk about.After Chen Qianchen hung up the phone, he smiled slightly.

After hanging up the phone, the doorbell rang at the right time. Chen Qianchen walked over to open the door and found that the person standing outside was Xie Xia.

"Sister Xia? Why are you here?" Chen Qianchen turned sideways to let someone in.

Xie Xia frowned: "That guy Xiao Mian drank too much last night, and it is said that he has a severe headache. I don't worry about letting him drive to pick you up in his state."

Chen Qianchen knew Yuan Xiaomian well, and knew that he was greedy, so he didn't say much: "Do you want something to drink?"

"No, you get ready, we're going straight out." Xie Xia waved her hand.

Chen Qianchen looked at himself, felt that there was nothing to prepare, and said, "Then let's go."

Xie Xia sized him up: "Did you drink too much last night, too? You look like you haven't rested well, and your complexion is not good-looking. Do you want to put on a little makeup before going out?"

"No, anyway, the makeup artist will still do it during the makeup test, and it will be troublesome to remove it again." Chen Qianchen shook his head. He doesn't like makeup very much, even if it is necessary for an artist, sometimes Even if it is unavoidable to shoot commercials or filming, Chen Qianchen still prefers to have no makeup on weekdays. Because of this habit all year round, his skin is not bad, at least it will not be bumpy like some artists.

Xie Xia thought it made sense, so she didn't force her, but she suddenly asked him before leaving the house: "I heard that Mr. Huo went to look for you last night?"

Chen Qianchen was taken aback, and quickly went out the door, locked the door, and nodded.

"What did he ask you for?" Xie Xia frowned.

"It's nothing..." Chen Qianchen patted Xie Xia's shoulder, "Don't worry, there's nothing wrong, and I guess... you won't come to me again..."

Xie Xia frowned even deeper. Although she was puzzled, she still didn't ask any more questions. She just said earnestly: "I can't control you too much. You can weigh some things yourself."

"I know, I will work hard." Chen Qianchen deliberately put on a bright smile, and then walked downstairs with Xie Xia.

"Well, this time it's only a week of shooting, but the schedule is still very tight, and it may be very hard." Xie Xia said, "I also arranged a few magazine interviews, and after this busy period, I will arrange a few days of vacation for you to rest. "

"It's okay, the more work the better." Chen Qianchen said lightly.

"I can't see that you are more workaholic than me." Xie Xia joked with a smile.

Chen Qianchen just smiled this time and didn't respond, he thought that maybe he could only focus on work now.

This is Chen Qianchen's first exposure to ancient costumes. He has long heard that filming ancient costume dramas is much more laborious than other dramas, but it was only after he actually experienced it that it took several hours just for makeup.

It was almost evening when the transformation was over. The actor who played his senior brother, Chen Qianchen, knew it. His name was Qiao Qinglian. He was already thirty this year, but he looked very handsome. He looked only in his twenties, but he was as young and handsome as him. What is different about his appearance is that his personality is quite calm and old-fashioned. After several hours of makeup, he has not complained or even revealed a trace of impatience; the other actress is a newcomer. Only 19 years old.

After the three of them put on their makeup, they took a few test photos in front of the camera. The shooting was over, but they didn't expect the assistant director in charge of their group to come over.

"Director Xiao." Qiao Qinglian seemed to know the director and greeted him first.

"Little Qiao." Director Xiao nodded, "You only come to play a cameo this time, Director Wang is really uncomfortable."

"The schedule is not open. Next time you see Director Wang, please help me and say sorry to him. Next time, I will definitely go to Director Wang." Qiao Qing laughed.

"Come on, I know you're going to transform now, have you accepted a public security drama? It's pretty good, and it's really a face for us to come here." Director Xiao shook his head, but he didn't care much.

"You stand at thirty, I can't always make costume idol dramas." Qiao Qing continued.

Director Xiao patted him on the shoulder, and then looked at the other two people: "Hello, my surname is Xiao, and I'm the assistant director, but I will be filming your scenes for the next week. It's a pleasant cooperation."

"Hello, Director Xiao." The young actress immediately greeted obediently.

Chen Qianchen also nodded and said, "Hello Director Xiao."

"Although the plot you want to film has nothing to do with the main storyline, the progress can't be delayed. Tomorrow, you may have to hang Wia and the like. It's quite hard. I know that only Xiao Qiao is more experienced in this area among you, so I specially took the two of you to have a try today." Dao Xiao said.

Xie Xia thought it would be enough to finish the makeup test today, but she really didn't expect that Director Xiao would come over so late, and even want to try on Wia.

"Little Qiao, you go back first." Director Xiao waved his hand.

"No, I'll try it together too. Since the three of you are from the same school, let's get used to it first, so that there is a tacit understanding in the movements." Qiao Qing said in succession.

Chen Qianchen looked at Qiao Qinglian with some admiration. Although he was not familiar with him, he had heard that Qiao Qinglian was serious about his work before.

Director Xiao thought for a while, then nodded: "Alright, then follow me." After speaking, he greeted the three of them and walked towards the studio.

The martial arts and action director came forward and briefly explained the scene to be filmed tomorrow. It was basically a scene of three people dancing swords together, and guided them in the simplest movements.

In fact, the movements are not too difficult, but it is too difficult for Chen Qianchen to cooperate with Shang Weiya in the air.

Qiao Qinglian has a lot of experience, so she digests quickly, and she seems to be at ease in Wia. The other actress is a little nervous, but her balance bar is very good, but she doesn't remember her movements very well.Only Chen Qianchen was a little flustered.

"Chen Qianchen, you can't do this. Relax, you'll be fine. This is a studio. If you fall, there will still be a cushion. What are you afraid of?" Director Xiao impatiently ordered from below.

"I'm sorry, director..." Chen Qianchen tried to maintain his balance, and then made two moves according to the movements taught by the martial arts instructor just now.

"No, no, your movements are not as good as other girls'." Dao Xiao seemed to be in a bad mood, and he became even more impatient after saying a few words, "Okay, okay, come down first, and practice below. Practice, go back when you're good at it, I'm going to shoot this part tomorrow."

This is the first time Chen Qianchen has been trained since he was filming. He knew that he did not do well, so he did not dare to say anything. Are there any substitutes?"

"Yes, but is it possible to be a stand-in throughout the whole process?" Director Xiao said bluntly, "You have to do the simple movements yourself."

"He has never received martial arts and physical training, so it would be too embarrassing for him to practice well tonight." Xie Xia frowned.

"We've been filming this scene for a long time, he should have had enough time to train on his own, is it my fault that he didn't practice?" Director Xiao snorted coldly, "If you have the ability to squeeze people in, don't complain. "

Hearing this, Xie Xia also became a little angry. She was also a hot-tempered person, and she couldn't help but want to come forward to argue. Chen Qianchen didn't want any conflicts to arise on the first day, so he quickly stepped forward to hold her back: "It's okay. Sister Xia, you should practice a little bit, what the director said is right, there is nothing else tonight."

Director Xiao didn't say a word, he greeted the others, and said a few words to the martial arts instructor before leaving.

As soon as Director Xiao left, Chen Qianchen felt that everyone looked at him strangely, although it was not obvious.

Just now Director Xiao’s sentence “Don’t complain if you have the ability to squeeze people in” obviously means that he is someone who got in through connections, in fact, he thinks so, even though he and Qiao Qing are both advertised as “special roles”, but in terms of popularity and worth, they are different. People are completely different. Qiao Qinglian came to film, which is indeed called a "guest star". When she came to film by herself, it was actually no different from that new actress.He was promoted to this position purely because the company behind him is Xingcheng and his manager is Xie Xia.

Many artists who got roles through relationships are basically embroidered pillows. Now in the eyes of these staff members, I'm afraid they see themselves in the same way.Chen Qianchen smiled wryly, but there was nothing he could do.

"I've heard that Xiao Jihui has a bad temper, it's true." Xie Xia narrowed her eyes and said unhappily.

"Sister Xia, you should go back early, it's already dinner time." Chen Qianchen knew that Xie Xia had to reply every day to take care of the children, and he didn't want her to stay here with him.

Xie Xia turned to look at him: "Say hello to the staff, don't practice, go back and rest, some time ago I didn't sleep for less than five hours a day, and it will be busier from tomorrow onwards, even though I only shoot for a week, I'm afraid it's because I'm affected. No way."

"It really doesn't matter." Chen Qianchen smiled at her. Because of a little makeup on his face, his complexion looked good, not as bad as before. "I'll go back when I'm tired. If I knew it earlier You shouldn't have drunk so much last night."

"It shouldn't be, don't drink so much next time." Xie Xia glanced at him.

"Definitely, I won't dare next time." Chen Qianchen promised.

"Well, at this point, Xiao Mian must have woken up early. I'll call him to come and accompany you."

Chen Qianchen nodded and saw the martial arts instructor at the other end looking at him, so he greeted Xie Xia and went there first.

Chen Qianchen practiced this exercise for several hours. Fortunately, his previous group was a dance music group. Because of dancing, he also had physical training, so although he didn't have any foundation, he gradually got used to it under the patient guidance of the martial arts instructor. It’s just that martial arts and dancing are still different after all, bumps and stumblings are completely unavoidable. After a few hours, his head is sweating from exhaustion, and his muscles are slightly sore. According to his experience, it will probably be even more painful when he wakes up tomorrow.

After Xie Xia left, Chen Qianchen called Yuan Xiaomian.

Yuan Xiaomian originally came here at about ten o'clock, but the drive took about four or ten minutes. As soon as Chen Qianchen thought that there would be an early show at five o'clock tomorrow, he simply asked him to bring some change of clothes and the reclining chairs used by the crew before. gone back.Because costume dramas are no different than others, even male artists have to get up an hour and a half earlier to put on makeup, so he will wake up after three o'clock, so he might as well just stay here overnight.

In this way, after Yuan Xiaomian brought all the things, Chen Qianchen took a cold shower in a small bathroom behind the studio. Because it was an outdoor location, there was no condition for a hot shower at all, so he had to make do with it.Fortunately, it is almost summer now and it is not cold.

Yuan Xiaomian thought that after the filming of "The Voice of the Night" it would be easier, but who knows that the next days will be even more difficult, he is a small assistant, but he just watched Chen Qianchen and felt that he was working so hard, so he complained Fan.

On the contrary, Chen Qianchen comforted him a few words, saying that a lot of work is a good thing.

In fact, it’s really a good thing, Chen Qianchen thought in his heart, when he was still in ATCITY, he often didn’t announce the week for a week, and sometimes it was also a performance activity of the group. Looking back now, I always feel that the separation of the group is not unreasonable. , all the fetters are probably loosened in such leisure.

Now that I'm busy with my work, I don't know what to do, but my heart feels full.

If a person wants to be popular, he really has to work harder, right?

He thought of Lu Zhexiao again, and remembered that he had firmly said to himself, "We must be popular."

I don't know how Lu Zhexiao is doing now, I haven't contacted him for a long time.

While Chen Qianchen was thinking this way, he curled up on the recliner and fell asleep.

He was, indeed, very tired.
