reborn star

On the second day, Li Mingrui went to the film crew, thinking that Xiao Yan would come after dark, so he focused on filming all day and had no time to think about Xiao Yan.

It's summer now, the weather is extremely hot, and the clothes in ancient costumes have to be tightly covered. Usually, actors sweat all over their bodies after a round of performances.Li Mingrui threw the towel into cold water and rubbed it several times, wrung it dry, and handed it to the sweaty actors. The towel was cool and refreshing on their faces. The actors thanked Li Mingrui one by one, and Li Mingrui smiled back. .

"You wipe it for me." Sun Wei, who played the role of the prince, said suddenly.

In the play, the prince is graceful and magnanimous, with an imperial demeanor, but in fact his character is completely opposite to that in the play. He is narrow-minded and ordinary-looking. Sun Wei's appearance makes Li Mingrui have to smear his face in order to stand beside him. Otherwise, as long as he is not blind, he can see that standing with Li Mingrui, he can only be a green leaf, so he is usually picky about Li Mingrui's image.

As for his mediocre acting skills, he was reprimanded by the director several times just now because of Lian Ka, and he was in a bad mood.

An assistant was opening an umbrella for him, a staff member was touching up his makeup, and a person playing the role of a little maid was feeding him fruit. When he asked Li Mingrui to wipe his face with a towel, his eyes were squinting in enjoyment, and he didn't feel any discomfort at all. something wrong.

If Sun Wei's attitude is good, Li Mingrui can barely accept it, but what this person has done for many days has made him a laughing stock here. What the man did was too much, everyone was very impetuous in the hot weather, and he didn't want to continue to be depressed.

So Li Mingrui stuffed a few ice cubes in the towel, rubbed it and threw the towel directly on the man's face.

"Ah!" Sun Wei jumped up violently and shouted.

He was going to beat Li Mingrui directly, but Li Mingrui is not a vegetarian, and he can't compare with Li Mingrui in terms of skill, so it seems that Li Mingrui just shrank back, but avoided the man's slap on the face, and everyone else Come over to stop Sun Wei, no matter how hard he tosses, he can't touch a single hair of Li Mingrui, so after making a fuss for a while, he can only sit back panting heavily.

Xiao Yan, who was sitting in a corner far away, saw this scene, and immediately took out his phone to call his assistant Gao Wen, "The man who plays the prince in Li Mingrui's crew, check to see if he is from our company, and has he signed a contract?"

Gao Wen immediately began to look up the name of the show, the list of actors, the character who played the prince, and whether the person had signed a contract, "He is from another company, but the boss of that company has a cooperation with us, and he has signed Signed a contract, signed a ten-year contract and now has a six-year contract.”

"Well, tell their boss, try not to let this person appear in front of the audience in the future."

Gao Wen immediately said: "Understood."

Although the entertainment companies are all in competition, they often cooperate together, and their high-level people often eat at the same dinner table. Of course, his boss will not refuse such a trivial matter.But it's very easy to hide an actor in the snow.

Xiao Yan actually came very early, but he didn't bother Li Mingrui. He just wanted to sit in a corner and watch Li Mingrui's every move quietly. This person is so attractive when he is serious about filming...

Soon the rest time ended and the filming continued. Li Mingrui had few scenes and often had to wait for a long time to get a few shots of him. Most of his daily time was spent waiting, and Li Mingrui happened to be in this scene.

So now Li Mingrui, who is dressed as a guard, is standing behind Sun Wei, who plays the role of the prince. When the prince and the princess are talking, he is nailed to the spot like a piece of wood and does not move. Accumulating strength secretly, his whole body was tense, making people feel that if the prince was in any danger, he would explode instantly.

His gaze was always looking forward, but his peripheral vision was always on the prince, and he was on high alert.

During filming, there were a few times when the staff got stuck, and the staff wiped his sweat. It was very painful to stand here motionless in the hot weather, and there was no way to distract attention without a single line, so it was an extreme test of endurance.

The most important thing is that the character he played with his back straightened, only had two shots from beginning to end today.

In those two shots, there is the figure of the prince. In one of the shots, in order to highlight the facial expression of the prince, his figure will be blurred in post-processing. This is a common technique in shooting. The director also mentioned it just now. , so there is only one shot that can see his face clearly, but today, because the man who played the prince was dissatisfied with Li Mingrui, when the camera was pulled to Li Mingrui, he deliberately moved his body, so that the only one who could see Li Mingrui That lens was half blocked.

Everyone has been in this industry for a long time, and of course understands what's going on.

Li Mingrui understood it in his heart, but he couldn't say anything, and the man wouldn't admit it.

Xiao Yan watched from a distance. He didn't know the details of the filming process. As a person outside the show business circle, he didn't know those things, but compared to other people who paid attention to the prince and princess, he just stared at Li Mingrui who played the role of the guard. Just such a person, but I can't get enough of it.

He just waited quietly for several hours, but Li Mingrui didn't notice.

Until today, when the filming was over, Li Mingrui helped the crew move the equipment, and when he was walking to the changing room, he felt intense gazes on him, turned his head instinctively, and then met Xiao Yan's dark eyes...

Xiao Yan drove and stopped at a restaurant that looked nice from the outside. This was a restaurant closer to the set. Li Mingrui thought it was a solemn treat here, so he walked in with him.

When the waiter saw the two of them, he immediately stepped forward and asked politely, "Are you two in the private room or the lobby?"

Li Mingrui glanced at the lobby and saw that the couples present were young couples. It would be weird for the two of them to sit between them, so he asked for the private room, but he was ashamed when he came in. There are a few roses, brown-gray sofa seats, light pink tablecloths, and two pet bears hanging on the wall... Li Mingrui felt messy looking at these.

He was about to turn around and ask Xiao Yan if he wanted to change, but the man had already sat down, browsing the menu leisurely, without any discomfort.

"Are you still busy with work?" Li Mingrui took a sip of juice.Neither of them ordered wine, Li Mingrui ordered juice, Xiao Yan ordered coffee.

Xiao Yan didn't look up, "I'm not busy." He paused, hesitated before speaking, "You haven't been to the Taekwondo gym recently."

There was a smile on Li Mingrui's face, his eyes shone brightly, "You know I'm in the Taekwondo gym?"

Xiao Yan frowned and looked at the person opposite, "Am I blind?"

"You didn't pay any attention to me there, I always thought you forgot about me! But your skills are really good, haven't you practiced for a long time?" Men have always praised men's physical strength and fighting power, and Li Mingrui always felt Xiao Xiao There are many shining points gathered in Yan.I thought that this person's cold temper would be difficult to get close to, but after a few times of contact, I feel pretty good.

"I have practiced abroad, and I have fought in school before." Xiao Yan explained lightly.

"You also fight in school? You don't look like you!" From every angle, Xiao Yan is a model of the son of heaven, and it is difficult to associate him with a bad boy who loves to fight.

"I was sent to England when I was five years old, and the bodyguards can't follow me forever." Xiao Yan seemed unwilling to talk about this kind of topic, and said, "Don't leave Taekwondo too long, always practicing is good for your body." Inadvertently glanced at his waist.

Seeing his serious expression, Li Mingrui knew it was for his own good, so he nodded and didn't say anything more, he didn't pay attention to Xiao Yan's eyes at all, thinking about his study abroad, he lost his parents when he was three years old, and was sent abroad when he was five years old. Although he has an elder brother, Xiao Zhe and him are unable to take care of him at home and abroad. It seems that Xiao Yan's life is not as smooth as others imagined.

When the two left here, Li Mingrui glanced at the layout of the elegant room and sighed, "This place is really suitable for young couples."

"Come back next time if you like." Xiao Yan tossed this sentence lukewarmly and walked out.

Li Mingrui was stunned behind him, what did he say that he likes it, what else is next time, didn't he just owe a meal?In the end, Xiao Yan settled the money for the meal, the reason being that Li Mingrui was making less money now, and he would invite him back when he got rich.

No matter how dull Li Mingrui was, he knew that Xiao Yan specially invited him to dinner.

He felt puzzled. He and Xiao Yan had no business relationship. At most, they were small artists working in his company. If there was a close relationship, it would be the friendship between the Li and Xiao families. I feel that Xiao Yan invited him to dinner for this reason.

So……

Sitting in the car, Li Mingrui stared at Xiao Yan's delicate profile, hesitated for a while and said, "About your brother, I..."

Xiao Yan paused, slammed on the brakes, stopped the car on the side of the road, looked into Li Mingrui's eyes coldly, "What are you going to do with my brother?"

Given that Xiao Zhe and Song Jiahui hinted to him one after the other that they could associate with Xiao Zhe secretly, it was hard for Li Mingrui not to think that Xiao Yan, who suddenly invited him to dinner, also had such intentions, although he felt that it would be really bad if Xiao Yan thought the same way. .

Now seeing Xiao Yan's expression of freezing to death, he regretted speaking rashly.

"You still miss my brother?" Xiao Yan's voice was cold.

Li Mingrui felt guilty, even though he wasn't the one who got involved with Xiao Zhe, but the other party was Xiao Zhe's own younger brother, he couldn't be justified in the face of this matter, so he shook his head hastily, "No, no, I won't get involved in the marriage. Believe me, he's almost married."

Xiao Yan stared at him deeply for a while, then turned around and started driving again, without expressing his belief or disbelief, he asked again seemingly unintentionally: "How does it feel to be an actor, is there anything uncomfortable?"

"No." Speaking of actors, Li Mingrui said with a smile, "It's actually not bad. The practical experience is far more than the theoretical one. I understand a lot of things compared to before. If possible, I want to regard it as my lifelong career. to develop."

Xiao Yan asked inexplicably: "Do you want to be a star?"

Li Mingrui smiled wryly, "Is there anyone in this circle who doesn't want to? But I don't dare to think so much now. I just want to make more money right now, and I'll talk about the rest later."

"I can..." Before Xiao Yan finished speaking, he was interrupted by Li Mingrui, "I know you have this ability, but you can help me once for the sake of my family, but you can't help me forever. I don't want to be protected under the wings Next... But don't worry, I have you as a relationship account, and I will tell you if there is any trouble that I can't solve."

Xiao Yan knew that Li Mingrui was joking, and with this person's nature, he would not come to him no matter what problems he had. He wanted to say that the reason he wanted to help him now was not because of his parents, but he didn't know how to speak, so he remained silent. Word.

Xiao Yan delivered it to Li Mingrui's door. Li Mingrui was about to open the car door, but stopped. He looked at it seriously and said slowly: "You saved my life by jumping into the river last time. I know that no matter how many words of thanks you Everything should be done, I will never forget that you are my benefactor in this life, Xiao Yan, I am really grateful to you, if there is anything that needs me, as long as I can do it, just ask."

Xiao Yan remained silent, staring at the windshield, seemingly lost in thought, until Li Mingrui wanted to call him, before he said, "Go up!"

Li Mingrui got out of the car in a little surprise, and he drove away immediately.

When Li Mingrui asked him, what he was thinking was, Li Mingrui, if you want to help me, please stay away from me, it is not only helping me but also helping you.But all along, he was the one who took the initiative between the two of them, and now they are caught in this inexplicable emotion, he is asking for trouble!

If this continues, he really can't guarantee that he will do anything.
