Rebirth of the fallen painter

Chapter 44 Night Falls 8

Ren Xi spent the rest of the day in this anxiety, and woke up at six o'clock the next morning.After that I couldn't sleep anymore.

He lay on the bed, staring blankly at the ceiling.

Suddenly the doorbell rang loudly.This is probably Su Chen.It's just that Su Chen obviously has the key to this villa, and he remembers that there is no special announcement recently, could it be that there is something urgent.He walked out of the bedroom sleepily, and opened the door again, "Su..." His voice stuck in his throat.Because it was Wei Zicheng standing outside the door.After not seeing each other for so many days, Wei Zicheng has lost a lot of weight. His face, which was originally vigorous, has become more serious because of the sharp facial lines.It's just that his eyes are still clear and clear. He is wearing that casual shirt, and he looks like the melancholy British gentleman in the painting.

He was flustered and at a loss, regretting his fluffy and messy hair and wrinkled pajamas, after so many things happened, he couldn't meet Wei Zicheng with a complete image, he didn't even know how to apologize.Can a simple sorry really erase these things?

Many things were surging in his mind.He just raised his head, looked at Wei Zicheng at the same level, and pretended to be calm.

Wei Zicheng looked at him for a moment, then smiled, "If we continue to look at each other like this, will people watch?"

He hesitated slightly, and then Wei Zicheng came over and put his arms around his shoulders, "Let's go, let's go into the house." He smiled lightly and moved naturally.The relationship between the two is so relaxed and natural, as if everything has returned to a long time ago.It seems that the two have never experienced suspicion and parting, but have only been in love all the time.

Wei Zicheng brought a script, which he said was Wang An's new play.Ren Xi couldn't believe this kind of thing at all. After reading the script for two days, he really saw Wang An.Wang Anyuan just prepared a small arrangement, but suddenly discovered that Ren Xi was very aura on the screen.He asked Ren Xi to think about the role of the second male lead, saying that if he could perform to his satisfaction, Ren Xi could take on this role.

Although it's easy to say, it's just that Wang An is very demanding on actors' performances.

Ren Xi came to the scene for three consecutive days, and every day he performed in a different way.It was not until the fourth day that Wang An decided to give the role to Ren Xi.

Although I got the role, it is not unheard of to change roles in the middle of filming.

It was only when he arrived at the real shooting scene that Ren Xi knew how strict Wang An's play was.

This is the 15th time Ren Xi has performed this scene. He has used all the acting methods he can think of, and Wang An is still not satisfied.Ren Xi suddenly had a burst of inspiration and comprehended a little performance on the spot.When he heard the director yell "click", he was already sweating profusely, and he could only look at Wang An while panting slightly.

Wang An only said, "Let's start again."

Wei Zicheng said in astonishment, "I have to do it all over again? This is already perfect."

Wang An pointed to the playback in the movie machine and said, "Look here, the expressions and movements are not coordinated, and they don't blend with the surrounding environment, and—"

Wang An turned his head and found Wei Zicheng staring at him dumbfounded.Wang An coughed, "What's wrong?"

"Director Wang, I never knew you were so picky."

Wang An frowned, "Is this picky?"

"Acting is always at will. He has acted very well just now. Director Wang, are you angry that I let you accept him in this role? If so, why are you angry at me? I Guaranteed to have dozens of ways to perform for you to pick."

Wang An was dumbfounded, "What nonsense are you talking about?"

"Originally, Ren Xi is a newcomer, so he should take good care of him."

Hearing this, Ren Xi's face flushed red.He glared at Wei Zicheng, but Wei Zicheng didn't notice it, and was still criticizing Wang An's pickiness, "Your method will only kill newcomers. For newcomers, you should follow the temptation and water them with love and tenderness like protecting seedlings in spring. , let him sprout and grow slowly..."

Wang An looked at him, "I'm filming, not a loving gardener." He looked at Ren Xi, "Do it again."

Ren Xi wiped the sweat from his forehead, his body was already slightly numb.He gritted his teeth, ready to start.

"Wait." Wei Zicheng suddenly said.

Wang An frowned and looked at Wei Zicheng.

Wei Zicheng said, "I think you're not normal today. Well, let's shoot my scene first. In this scene, Shen Weiwei and I also have a scene."

Wang An thought for a while, and finally nodded.Shen Weiwei played the heroine, so she was always on the set.

Both of them are veterans, and both quickly entered the show.

When the two were filming, Ren Xi could finally rest.After being tense for a long time, he felt that his hands and feet were a little numb.His mind was a little confused, and he didn't know what he should do after Wei Zicheng finished filming this segment.

The scene between Wei Zicheng and Shen Weiwei was not long, and it ended in a short time.After getting down, Wei Zicheng asked, "How is it?"

Wang An looked at the small screen next to him, and then said, "I'm not emotional enough. Neither you nor Shen Weiwei have enough expressions."

Wei Zicheng said, "What happened to you today? Did you quarrel with your wife?"

Wang An was annoyed, "No matter how troublesome you are, just get out!"

Shen Weiwei has already cooperated with Wang An in a movie, and explained from the side, "Director Wang is actually very easy-going, but he has always been very demanding at work. He has always been like this."

Wei Zicheng said, "So he hasn't really reached menopause?"

Wang An's face darkened, "Screen manager, throw Wei Zicheng out!"

The crew was a little chaotic for a while.Of course Wei Zicheng sat aside and refused to leave.The scene was chaotic for a while, Wang An is always good-tempered, this time he lost his temper very rarely and quickly calmed down.He only let Ren Xi continue to act.

Ren Xi began to repeat this scene again.In fact, he has exhausted all his strength, and he can't think of any method to continue acting.No matter how much you perform, it is nothing more than repeating the previous level.After this performance, Wang An's expression still didn't improve.The photographers and production staff next to him already had a slightly impatient look on their faces.

Ren Xi was a little embarrassed.Wang An just stared at the screen in silence for a long time, and then said, "I'll shoot this part later. Let's shoot the next scene first."

This scene is a rivalry with Wei Zicheng.

Wei Zicheng squeezed his hand, telling him not to be nervous.Ren Xi forced a smile at him.

Seeing that he was still tense, Wei Zicheng said, "Don't think about other things when you're good at acting, just focus on me. When you see my reaction, you just have to react as you should."

Ren Xi forced a smile, "We're not playing couples or real brothers. In the play, my character has a deep hatred for you."

Wei Zicheng said, "Then you can think of me as the person you hate the most."

Ren Xi looked at the familiar and handsome face.This person was there for him no matter when he was alone or in pain, and gave him so much love.Seeing this face makes him feel safe and warm.How could it be possible to think of him as a deep-seated hatred for a moment.He muttered under his breath, "That's impossible."

Wei Zicheng paused for a moment, then frowned, "It's impossible. Anyway, it's better this way."

Ren Xi smiled and did not refute.It's just such an important opportunity, he can't lose this opportunity anyway.But now, things seem to be beyond his control.The height Wang An requested seemed to be a height that he could never reach.

During the first pass, he almost struggled with Wei Zicheng's face.The acting was even worse than the previous ones.

The second time, he managed to get back to his normal form, but he played against Wei Zicheng, the gap was really obvious.

For the third time, he was still stumped by the unchanging acting skills.There was really nothing he could do.

The fourth time, the fifth time, and the sixth time, his acting skills did not improve at all.It seems that there are too many shortcomings in the body, and people don't know which direction to develop.Ren Xi was a little distracted. He saw that the staff on the side were already talking and laughing with their lips during filming, so they didn't bother to look at this side at all.And Wang An's expression was a little tired.

Ren Xi just felt confused.I don't know where to improve.Even Wei Zicheng, who repeated the scene over and over for him, felt guilty.He said to Wei Zicheng, "Otherwise, you should go to rest first, and you will be very tired if you practice with me like this."

Wei Zicheng glared at him, "What are you talking about? Why am I tired? This is rare for you to take the initiative to say such things to me. Of course, the fly in the ointment is that these words are all pre-set lines."

Ren Xi forced a smile and said, "But you are the one accommodating me. There is no need for your acting skills to repeat like mine."

Wei Zicheng narrowed his eyes, "Try saying one more sentence—"

Ren Xi was silent for a moment, and finally smiled, "Okay, I won't say anything."

Wei Zicheng said, "Also, don't think about how to act anymore. You just pretend that you are that younger brother who has been embezzled by me. You just have to pretend to cooperate on the surface."

Ren Xi nodded hesitantly.

Wei Zicheng added, "However, you have to know that these are just illusions! Don't take it seriously. I don't want you to really treat me as an enemy after you finish acting."

Ren Xi smiled inexplicably, "How is that possible."

It started again.Ren Xi tried to forget the technique and pretend that he was the person in the play.Because of the exhaustion of his body, his mind was in chaos, so he reluctantly accepted it.Next, everything happens automatically.It's already a familiar line that can't be more familiar, and the scene will be over soon.

Just as the director yelled, Wei Zicheng faded away from his serious and steady expression in the play, and said with a smile, "You acted very well just now. You have improved a lot all of a sudden."

Ren Xi was still a little dazed, looking at Wei Zicheng with a cold gaze.

Wei Zicheng sensed something was wrong, "Ren Xi?"

Ren Xi hurriedly looked away and said with a smile, "Oh, there was no drama just now."

The atmosphere between the two was a bit weird.Wang An over there was a little happy, "Ren Xi, this time is very good, but the movements and expressions need to be coordinated. Your expressions just now were very rich, but the movements were a little lacking. You can improve it."

"kindness."

"What's more, you still have to respect your elder brother on the surface. It's only in the dark that you will show an expression of revenge. Remember, the respect on the surface is indispensable."

After that, it was repeated only two or three times, and the scene was over.The scene where Ren Xi kept making mistakes before was passed after only two attempts.The progress of filming can finally proceed smoothly.By noon, I was already hungry.

Everyone took their lunch boxes and could finally relax.During this time, Wei Zicheng couldn't find where Ren Xi had gone.After lunch, when Ren Xi appeared, he faltered and asked Wei Zicheng that in order to cooperate with his participation in the play, the two of them should not be together in the theater.Wei Zicheng was furious, saying that this was the first time he had encountered such a thing.Ren Xi frowned, with a gloomy expression.Wei Zicheng couldn't bear it anymore, and finally agreed.Ren Xi turned grief into joy, and was about to leave his 'enemy' Wei Zicheng on the spot.Wei Zicheng grabbed his hand and said with dissatisfaction, "Then just today." Ren Xi originally wanted to say that during the filming, the two of them maintained this state.It's just that he was thinking, Wei Zicheng was going to be angry if he said it, maybe he wouldn't even agree to the request he had promised in the end.He hesitated a few times, "Maybe, maybe a few days..."

Wei Zicheng frowned, "How many days?"

Ren Xi hardened his heart, and only then reduced half a year to ten days.

Wei Zicheng was not at all happy, "Don't even think about it! I'll only give you two or three days."

Ren Xi pretended to agree temporarily.The man was obviously dissatisfied, "If I had known this, I would have chosen a script in which we were lovers."

Although Wei Zicheng was reluctant, he agreed to his request.During modeling and filming, Wei Zicheng played the role of enemy seriously.It's just that the crew is not big, and the two are actors who need to act in opposite roles. After all, the distance between the two cannot be too far.

After filming a rivalry scene, Wei Zicheng habitually had to sit aside with Ren Xi.After walking for a long time, he found that Ren Xi was still where he was, with a hesitant look on his face.

Wei Zicheng was dissatisfied, but he didn't want to leave immediately.He pretended to forget the agreement between the two just now, and asked with great concern, "What's the matter, are you uncomfortable?" Taking the opportunity, he even reached out to touch Ren Xi's forehead.

Ren Xi reached out to block him, lacking confidence, "Didn't we agree?"

Wei Zicheng froze, and insisted on poking over with his hands, and ate a handful of tofu on Ren Xi's head, and then said with a look of anger, "Look, you just think of me as a bully and bandit who only eats your tofu. The more I get along with you, the deeper your hatred for me. This is not the best of both worlds."

The proud expression of 'I can also eat more of your tofu' is clearly written on the man's face.Ren Xi glared at him, "Will you not be playing this kind of bully one day."

Wei Zicheng withdrew his hand angrily.He finally walked away, but as if he couldn't swallow his breath, he turned his head and said viciously, "At that time, I will really get into the show and secretly embezzle your family property or something. It depends on what you will do then."

Ren Xi was amused by Wei Zicheng's vicious look.He turned around in a panic, not daring to let Wei Zicheng see his smile, and was told, 'Look, you are not the same as me'.He really loves Wei Zicheng, it is too difficult to pretend.

During the break, the two really sat in the farthest corner of the crew.It's just that even if the distance is the farthest, it's actually only a distance of more than ten meters.When you turn around, you can clearly see the other person's expression.The other party's voice was also clearly heard word for word.

The two turned their heads occasionally, their eyes collided, and Ren Xi turned back hastily.

The two didn't say a word outside the play, but inside the play they had a lot of rivalry.Ren Xi's performance is getting more and more exciting, but the more exciting, the more like that superficially docile man who only has hatred for his brother.Wei Zicheng wondered angrily whether Ren Xi really thought of himself as an enemy.He really shot himself in the foot.

During the break, Wei Zicheng suppressed his urge to carry Ren Xi over and force him to stay with him, and finally joined a large group of people to chat and laugh.He went outside for a walk, but when he came back, he happened to see Ren Xi walking towards him.

Wei Zicheng just smiled and said, "Just now—"

Before he finished speaking, Ren Xi lowered his head, as if to pretend not to see, turned around and walked around.

Wei Zicheng stepped forward quickly, grabbed the escaping ostrich, and said viciously, "Am I a plague? You hide so clearly."

Ren Xi lacked confidence, "I told you before."

Wei Zicheng said fiercely, "Even if you are an enemy, you should say hello when you meet!"

Ren Xi was forced to look up and smiled, "Hello."

Wei Zicheng was angry, and Ren Xi's expression was just like the vengeful younger brother in the play.Wei Zicheng gritted his teeth, "Okay."

Ren Xi was also a little uneasy, "That's why I said not to meet each other for a while."

"It's all fake in the play. You can get it mixed up. Are you trying to piss me off?"

Ren Xi said in a low voice, "It took me a long time to lie to myself that I was real, and this is how I can continue acting. Now you want me to admit that those are fake..."

Wei Zicheng paused, then slowed down his tone, "Well, I know acting is difficult for newcomers. I won't force you. But, you should find a solution for me as soon as possible. I don't want to suddenly have some enemies."

Ren Xi whispered, "Oh..."

"However, I just let you go like this, I really can't go on." He leaned down and ruthlessly smacked Ren Xi's lips, and then seeing Ren Xi's eyes with the brilliance he was familiar with, Wei Zicheng smiled with satisfaction, "It's still right."

Ren Xi, whose self-fantasy was punctured later, was obviously very angry, staring at Wei Zicheng's eyes as if he was about to breathe fire.

In the next few scenes, Ren Xi was really not quite right.Every time it ended, Ren Xi stared at him resentfully.Wei Zicheng pretended not to see it, flipped through the script and said, "Why don't I tell you the play?"

Ren Xi snorted and insisted on staying ten meters away from Wei Zicheng.

Slowly afterwards, Ren Xi finally recovered.It's just that the two of them returned to a situation where there was basically no communication except for the confrontation.
