dark fire

At nine o'clock in the morning, the nanny's car drove to the suburban studio.

Ling Zhuojue was half asleep when he was awakened by a sudden brake. The driver in the front seat turned around and apologized. He took off the blindfold and rubbed his eyes. Assistant Yang Ming poured a glass of warm water and handed it over: "Brother Zhuo woke up, do you want a drink?"

Ling Zhuo took it and took a sip, the pain in his throat was severe, he was uncomfortable when he got up early, and now it got worse.

I didn't feel sleepy anymore, so I just took out my phone to play.

Yang Ming reminded him that Sister Jing had arrived on the set first, Ling Zhuo nodded casually, and saw the message from Zhong Yiran on WeChat: "I put cough syrup in your carry-on bag for you, remember to eat, drink more Hot water will make your throat more comfortable."

There was a little smile in Ling Zhuo's eyes, and he replied: "Okay."

After waiting for half a minute, there was no reply. After a little hesitation, he sent another message: "Did you go to the company?"

When we were approaching the set, new news came in: "I just had a meeting with Liu Ge and the others, and we talked about the work arrangement for the next stage, and they may give us a variety show in the future."

Ling Zhuo replied: "When?"

Zhong Yiran: "At the end of the month."

Ling Zhuo: "Do you have my share?"

Zhong Yiran: "Didn't you join the group? You should concentrate on filming."

Ling Zhuo frowned, and asked Yang Ming: "Did Sister Jing say that after I joined the crew, would I still participate in the group's activities?"

Yang Ming was taken aback, and said: "I don't know, Sister Jing only mentioned one thing, let me watch Brother Zhuo and you concentrate on filming these few months."

Ling Zhuo lowered his eyes and pondered for two seconds, and didn't ask any more questions.

At [-]:[-], the nanny car stopped at the entrance of the studio, and Zhang Jing was already waiting there. Before getting off the car, Yang Ming reminded Ling Zhuo: "Brother Zhuo, when the car entered the studio, I seemed to see your lady station following me. .”

Ling Zhuo put on the sunglasses and put on the peaked cap, and then let Yang Ming open the car door.

Zhang Jing strode over, glanced at her watch, and asked Ling Zhuo, "Why are you here so late?"

Yang Ming helped to explain: "There is a traffic jam on the road, so I wasted a little time."

"Forget it, come in with me quickly, and go say hello to Director He and the others first." Zhang Jing reminded.

Ling Zhuo obediently followed into the door, and then Zhang Jing led him to meet a group of people, directors, producers, screenwriters... Ling Zhuo was a little face-blind, he didn't remember a few people, and he kept saying hello to people, but his throat hurt more powerful.

It was his first time filming a TV series, thanks to Zhang Jing's ability, he was stuffed into this big production ancient puppet show, and he was also mixed up as the second male role.

Today is the first script study meeting, all the main creators will come, Ling Zhuo is new here, very uncomfortable.

The chief director of this show is He Jingping, a short, fat middle-aged man with a smile, and he seems to see Ling Zhuo's discomfort, He Jingping comforts him with a smile: "Don't be nervous, it's not normal for the first filming, the last audition I saw you doing well then."

Ling Zhuo could only laugh dryly, he knew exactly how much he weighed, and other people's polite words would not be so stupid as to be taken seriously.

After saying a few words, Zhang Jing asked He Jingping: "Have Teacher Yu and Teacher Lu come? I'll take Ling Zhuo to say hello to them too."

He Jingping: "A Fei still has something to do, he will come later, but Chi Xiegang has already arrived, I will ask him to come over."

Zhang Jing was about to say that they went there by themselves, but He Jingping had already looked around quickly, but he didn't see Lu Chixie's person: "Hey kid, I don't know where he went, forget it, just leave him alone, Xiao Ling just came here first Take a break and come to the meeting room at ten o'clock sharp."

So Ling Zhuo followed Zhang Jing to his lounge.

He is still a newcomer in the film and television industry, but the most popular traffic star in the entire crew is the only one besides the hero and heroine who has his own separate lounge, and the treatment is really good.

After entering the door, Ling Zhuo was finally able to sit down and catch his breath. He dug out the cough syrup that Zhong Yiran put in from his bag, poured out a cap and drank it in one gulp, and took two sips of hot water to dilute the taste in his mouth. His throat finally felt a little better .

Zhang Jing watched his movements, frowned and asked, "Are you caught a cold?"

Ling Zhuo: "No, I have a sore throat and a little cough, and I should be fine tomorrow."

"Be careful yourself, don't fall ill right after joining the group."

Zhang Jing asked Yang Ming to send Ling Zhuo's luggage to the hotel first, closed the door and told him: "I have something to go first, and then I usually don't come here when I have nothing to do. You should film well, be sweet, and have a good relationship with other people. harm."

Ling Zhuo asked her: "Can't I participate in the group's activities?"

Zhang Jing was not happy: "What is there to participate in? Your personal development is the most important thing."

Ling Zhuo was not happy when he heard it, but he didn't refute.

He joined the company as a trainee at the age of 15 and trained with four other people. The company sent him to a singing audition the year before last. He won the first place and became popular overnight. After that, the company launched their five-member group, relying on him One person flies the whole group.People outside say that he lost money and was taken advantage of by his teammates. Ling Zhuo himself doesn’t think so. He can’t do without the support of his teammates. He is willing to lead everyone to get rich together, and he has never left the group to work alone. idea.

But Zhang Jing is his personal manager, and he has always felt that other people in the group are holding him back. He said several times that he was not asked to come out for filming earlier and wasted his time.Ling Zhuo disagrees, but he is not impatient with others, so he will not show dissatisfaction on the surface.

Of course Zhang Jing knew what he was thinking, hated that iron could not be made into steel and didn’t want to talk too much about it, so she reminded him: “I have already told Director He, he will take care of you during the filming period, you listen to him and film well That's fine, the heroine of this drama is Yu Fei, she is the queen of ratings, and this drama is also the puppet heroine she is good at. You are a good character, and you play a lot of opponents with her. If you can play well, you are It's a good start in the film and television industry, Yu Fei is said to be easy to get along with, and she is a senior, you just need to be respectful and polite to her, as for that Lu Chixie..."

Lu Chixie, the male number one in this show.

Hearing the hesitation in Zhang Jing's tone, Ling Zhuo rarely asked curiously: "What's wrong with Lu Chixie?"

Zhang Jing: "Lu Chixie, you should have heard the rumors about him. They are basically true. When he was filming in a film crew, there was a 38-line actor who suggested to him. Knocked on his door, the first two times he ignored him, the third time he opened the door, held up his mobile phone and pretended to make a call, but actually started a live broadcast on Weibo, the young actor died because of this, and later heard that he seemed to have quit the circle, he himself It was also sprayed badly by netizens, but people didn't care at all."

"You can't afford to offend this kind of person, so try to stay away from him as much as possible, and don't provoke him except for filming."

Regarding Lu Chixie, Ling Zhuo has indeed heard about his deeds.This person is a super rich second generation, a typical resource guy in the circle, with an extremely bad temper. No matter who the other party is or how big his wrist is, as long as his young master is upset, he can show people face, and he can even piss off paparazzi, Gossip against marketing accounts, gossip against sunspots, gossip passers-by, and even gossip about his own fans, there is nothing he hasn't done, and he has offended countless people.

But he has a father who is so rich that people all over the country know him, and his face is more youthful than his stepmother, who was famous for her beauty in the early years, and her acting skills from a major are among the best among her peers, so he There are as many fans as there are blacks, and the opinions are extremely polarized. Those who love love to death, and those who hate hate it.

Ling Zhuo had seen what Zhang Jing said on the Weibo hot search before. At that time, he wentssip with Zhong Yiran and the others. How can you offend him?"

Zhang Jing: "Anyway, just pay attention to yourself, you have more fans than others, but don't take yourself too seriously here."

Ling Zhuo nodded, and asked another question casually: "Since Lu Chixie is so powerful, why did he come to film the heroine scene to carry the sedan chair for others?"

The queen of ratings, Yu Fei, takes the lead, the big ip adaptation of romance, and the s+-level key investment projects of video sites sound very tempting. She's a sure-fire heroine, would someone like Lu Chixie be willing to serve as a foil for others?

"I don't know," Zhang Jing said, "but I heard that he chooses the script for whatever play he wants to act in. No one can force him."

Ling Zhuo thought for a while and said, "Then maybe, he just fell in love with this role."

Zhang Jing: "Did you like the character?"

Ling Zhuo took out the script that he got before from his bag, and clicked casually: "I have already read the script, but you are wrong, Miss Jing. , the male lead is more interesting, if the paranoid and coquettish villain can be filmed, the popularity will definitely not be low, so I think Lu Chi Xie him, maybe he also thinks this role can be challenged?"

Zhang Jing raised her eyebrows: "You still understand these?"

Ling Zhuo said modestly: "You asked me to film, then I have to do some homework first."

On the outside terrace, Lu Chixie leaned against the wall and was smoking.

The terraces outside the lounges are connected, but obviously, the two people who were talking inside didn't notice it when they arrived, so they didn't know that the person they were talking about was outside, and they accidentally listened to a corner.

Hearing Ling Zhuo's words "Lu Chixie may also think this role is challenging", Lu Chixie held a cigarette in one hand, casually swiped his phone, and entered the word "Ling Zhuo" in the search box of the browser .

The first thing that popped out was a still photo of Ling Zhuo with a smile on his face and vivid eyes, next to his encyclopedia information.

Ling Zhuo, 22 years old, is an idol singer, the lead singer and face of the boy group SparkleBomb.

Lu Chixie squinted his eyes slightly, stared at Ling Zhuo's photo for a moment, stubbed out the cigarette butt, turned and went back to the lounge.

After sitting for more than ten minutes, Zhang Jing reminded Ling Zhuo that the official blog of the TV drama had just posted his makeup photo, and asked him to forward it by himself.His studio's promotion has already sent the copy, Ling Zhuo copied it, clicked on Weibo, pasted it and clicked forward, and then forwarded this official announcement Weibo to the five-member WeChat group of their group.

There was a burst of booing in the group, queuing up to praise him again.

Zhong Yiran was the last reply: "Very nice."

Ling Zhuo slightly curved his lips.

At five minutes to ten, Ling Zhuo got up and went to the big conference room. Before Zhang Jing left, Zhang Jing reminded him that when seeing other actors, regardless of whether they were big or small, they had to say hello. Ling Zhuo nodded to show that he knew.

When he reached the door of the meeting room, he saw Lu Chixie standing against the wall, talking with director He Jingping.

Face-blind as Ling Zhuo also recognized Lu Chixie at a glance. Lu Chixie and his mother, An Xin, the movie queen, look seven points alike. Ling Zhuo has been An Xin's fan since childhood.

After adjusting his mood, Ling Zhuo stepped forward, and He Jingping introduced him and Lu Chixie, and then joked casually: "Although you are endless rivals in love in the play, you still have to love each other outside the play."

Ling Zhuo took the initiative to extend his hand: "Hello, Mr. Lu, I'm Ling Zhuo, and I play Lin Lanyu in the play."

When he spoke, he looked into Lu Chixie's eyes with a gentle attitude.

Lu Chixie seemed to have a smile on his lips, and a pair of black eyes stared at him motionless.

The person in front of him has almond eyes, a high nose, and red lips. The lips are round and full of luster, which is a very attractive shape.

Ling Zhuo was inexplicably stared at by him, and He Jingping had no choice but to remind Lu Chixie: "You are giving Chixie some face, Ren Xiaoling took the initiative to say hello to you, don't tease him."

Only then did Lu Chixie stretch out his hand slowly, holding Ling Zhuo's with his slender knuckles.

"Mr. Ling, it's a pleasure to meet you."

When retracting his hand, Ling Zhuo shook his palm subconsciously, just now Lu Chixie seemed to be intentional, squeezed his palm tightly against his palm, but he still had this half-smile, harmless appearance on his face.

This person...is really not easy to get along with.
