Shi Zhou reacted quickly and dodged sideways, and the thick and rolled notice barely brushed against the tip of his nose, thus avoiding the tragedy of being hit on the face with a stick.
The surrounding group performances sounded one after another.
Hanhan, who followed closely behind, was even more taken aback, "Brother Zhou! Are you alright?"
"Brother Zhou, what Brother Zhou? I..."
The staff turned around impatiently, only to face Shi Zhou behind him, and was so frightened that he couldn't even hold the notice in his hand.
The anger on his face froze for two or three seconds, and he calmed down and asked cautiously, "Shi, Shizhou, are you okay?"
"fine."
Shi Zhou didn't directly embarrass the staff member, but first cast his eyes on Lu Ran who was beside him, who was staring at him in amazement, with a work card hanging around his neck——
Lu Ran, the make-up assistant of the crew of "Troubled Times".
Shi Zhou smiled slightly at Lu Ran, and then said to the staff, "Brother Pan, Lu Ran is my friend, I don't know what he did wrong to make you so angry?"
Shi Zhou's tone was very calm, but this naturally cold look made people feel full of distance, and the sense of oppression swept invisibly.
"This this……"
Pan Ge looked at Lu Ran in disbelief, and secretly complained in his heart.
He obviously didn't expect that the intern assistant whom he had squeezed for the past few days would be a friend of the hero Shi Zhou?Instead of going through the back door through friendship, you have to come to the set to be a makeup assistant, what the hell is this?
Shi Zhou glanced at the group performers queuing up and waiting for their make-up, and based on the conversation just now, he guessed seven or eight points, "Today's barracks scene is less to say. No. 40 foreground group performance, right? Where are the other make-up artists on the crew? With a makeup assistant to deal with it?"
"If it's really not enough, I can ask my make-up team to come and help."
Lu Ran didn't expect that Shi Zhou would publicly stand up for him, and there was a gleam of gratitude in those warm almond eyes.
The makeup artists of the crew are divided into several teams. The two male protagonists have their own makeup team, and the rest of the supporting roles share a team of makeup artists.As for Lu Ran's makeup team, it is responsible for the makeup of the group performers in different scenes every day.
He and two other make-up artists were in charge of today's military camp group performance. The other party was temporarily unwell in the morning and asked for leave to go to the hospital. He also specifically asked Brother Pan to find other make-up artists to help. As for the daily salary, he also gave the substitutes That's fine.
Brother Pan wanted to steal the few hundred dollars for makeup, so he closed his eyes and put the burden on Lu Ran alone. Seeing that the progress was almost behind him, he tried to push the blame again.
Lu Ran looked at Brother Pan beside him, and dared not speak out.
"Misunderstanding, misunderstanding, of course there are other makeup artists." Pan Ge briefly met Lu Ran's gaze, fearing that his behind-the-scenes behavior would be exposed by the other party, "I will call other people to help."
"Then please trouble Brother Pan. The film crew is tight on filming. Don't delay the progress. It's the right thing to do." Shi Zhou said a few polite words, and the coercion in his words did not diminish.
He looked at Lu Ran at the side, and said, "Brother Pan, if it's convenient, I'd like to have a few words with Lu Ran alone?"
Lu Ran hesitated to speak, looked at the group performers who hadn't had time to put on makeup, "I..."
Brother Pan had ghosts in his heart, so how dare he stop him from asking for someone? He quickly said, "Of course it's convenient, of course it's convenient."
Shi Zhou thanked him instead, "That's good."
After all, it was on the set of the crew, and neither of the two parties wanted to make a scene in the open.
Shi Zhou recalled the estimated shooting time on the bulletin, and told his assistant, "Hanhan, please stay and help contact our team's makeup artist. Don't delay the shooting progress. This favor is on my head."
"Okay, Brother Zhou."
In fact, on the day of the filming, Shi Zhou asked Han Han to check if there was a character named "Lu Ran" among the make-up artists of the crew, but he only now knew that the two were actually friends.
Shi Zhou said, "Lu Ran, let's go."
"what?"
Lu Ran looked at the familiar yet unfamiliar figure in front of him, hesitated for a moment and followed him.
Hanhan looked at the backs of the two walking farther and farther away, feeling a little puzzled in his heart——
Didn't Brother Zhou grow up abroad all the time before his debut?I have never heard of him having friends in China before.
Also, since it's a friend, why don't you call him directly, but ask him to help you find out the news?
……
Shi Zhou took Lu Ran to find an unoccupied dressing room nearby, and it was not until the door cut off the noise from the outside world that Lu Ran loosened his true emotions, "You..."
Seeing his hesitation, Shi Zhou took the initiative to respond, "What? I haven't seen you for ten years, and you forgot me as a friend?"
The reason why he dared to take the initiative to meet Lu Ran was because he trusted this friend.
Lu Ran smiled kindly at Shang Shizhou, and his almond eyes lit up, "How could I forget you? I recognized you when I read the entertainment news before, but the name changed, so I never dared to recognize you."
Shi Zhou sighed with a smile, "Well, now I take my adoptive father's surname, you can call me Shi Zhou."
Back then, Shizhou was adopted and taken away so suddenly that Lu Ran, who was a good friend, had no time to say goodbye, and the two didn't even leave a contact information.
Lu Ran recalled the past, and couldn't help asking, "How have you been all these years? I remember you went abroad with your adoptive parents, why did you return to China to become an actor?"
"Well, they treated me very well, gave me the best education, and treated me like their own son." The trace of depression in Shi Zhou's eyes was fleeting.
"Being an actor is a long story, and I will tell you slowly when I have time."
Lu Ran didn't ask about his privacy, but took the initiative to be honest, "Shizhou, not long after you left, I was taken back to be raised by my parents' best friends."
"Although I haven't gone through the adoption procedures, my uncles and aunts are also very kind to me." He said with a satisfied and gentle smile, "I'm also doing well."
Shizhou can trust his friends.
However, out of caution, he still added one more sentence, "Lu Ran, if possible, I hope you can keep the things in the orphanage a secret for me, and keep it a secret from anyone."
This includes rumors.
What happened when they were young has become a memory of the past, and they should all move towards a better life.
"of course."
Lu Ran agreed to Fei Kuai, and said to him completely, "You are a public figure now, and I know what to say and what not to say."
As soon as the words fell, there was a knock on the door outside the dressing room, "Brother Zhou, are you inside?"
Shi Zhou and Lu Ran looked at each other, "Yes, come in."
Hanhan pushed the door open and entered, and said with a cheerful smile, "I saw you walking in this direction just now, and you are indeed here."
Shi Zhou asked him, "Didn't I ask you to stay and help contact the makeup artist? Why did you come back after only a while?"
"Don't mention it, Brother Pan is a veteran of the production team. He obviously wanted to steal the hundreds of dollars of makeup daily salary, so he did it on purpose..." Hanhan glanced at Lu Ran, and didn't hide it, "He deliberately made things difficult for the newcomers."
"Brother Zhou, as soon as you came out, how dare he make a mistake? As soon as you left, he immediately found three or four makeup artists on the back, and he promised me that there would be no problem, so I came to you. "
A trace of disgust flickered in Shi Zhou's eyes.
He reunited with Lu Ran earlier than he remembered, but the latter was also "oppressed" by Pan Ge before he bumped into him accidentally.
Lu Ran thought of being made things difficult by Pan Ge these days, and sighed softly, "Shi Zhou, thank you for helping me out just now, otherwise I don't know how it would end today."
Not to mention that he hasn't even had a meal since he was busy in the morning, and there are so many extras left, he really can't get it done before the filming starts by himself.
Hanhan interjected curiously, "Mr. Lu, Brother Zhou, are you really friends?"
Shi Zhou simply explained, "Well, Lu Ran and I met before we went abroad, but we haven't seen each other for a long time, today we met by accident."
Lu Ran remembered his friend's request, so he just nodded and didn't say much.
Hanhan chuckled, "Sure enough, Brother Zhou's friends are also good-looking, but Mr. Lu, why do you want to come to the film crew as a makeup artist? Isn't it hard work?"
Interns are always at will wherever they are. Hengcheng is so hot in summer, squatting in the open air for a long time on the set, it is painful to think about it.
Thinking of Lu Ran's situation, Shi Zhou proposed, "Lu Ran, why don't you join my makeup team? Even if you learn slowly, it's better than being bullied under Brother Pan."
Lu Ran didn't expect that Shi Zhou would be willing to 'open the back door' for himself on the first day of their reunion, he was surprised and then moved.
However, he still shook his head, "Shi Zhou, I don't need it anymore, my current skills are not qualified enough to join your exclusive team, and... and now it's pretty good."
"What's so good about this?" Hanhan raised his eyebrows in doubt, and then thought of a possibility, "Mr. Lu, you, you won't really join the group to chase stars for public money, right?"
Lu Ran was a little embarrassed, "That's right, but I haven't delayed the work I should do."
Thinking about Lu Ran's reluctance to join Shizhou's exclusive makeup team, Hanhan's complexion changed slightly, "...do you like rumors?"
"No, it's not."
Lu Ran was well aware of the relationship between Shi Zhou and Sheng Yanwen, so he quickly explained as if he was afraid that he would be unhappy, "Sheng Yanwen is very good, but I didn't join the crew because of him."
Shi Zhou rarely patted the assistant on the head to stop his curious gossip, "Okay, what are you doing after so many inquiries? Lu Ran likes whoever is free."
Hanhan let out an 'oh'.
Shi Zhou looked at the electronic time on the wall, "Let's go, it's almost time to go to Director Sun's monitoring booth to watch the filming."
Hearing this, Lu Ran asked a little embarrassedly, "Shi Zhou, can I, can I follow you to see it up close?"
The crew has been shooting big scenes for the past two days, and he can only watch the actors filming from a distance, which is really exhausting.
Shi Zhou readily agreed, "Of course."
……
The three walked back to the filming set.
Shi Zhou greeted the director Sun Cong, and his eyes quickly searched for Sheng Yanwen's figure - the other party had just finished a new round of martial arts cooperation, went straight to the monitoring booth and sat down, with sharp eyebrows and eyes being touched up by a makeup artist .
Shi Zhou walked towards the monitoring shed without saying a word.
Sheng Yan, who was in the middle of making up, heard the movement around him, and after seeing someone coming from the corner of his corner of the eye, the cold and arrogant aura immersed in the character suddenly faded a lot.
The field manager smiled and handed over the little mazar, "Shi Zhou, aren't you out of action today?"
"I was too bored staying in the hotel, and this scene in the script was very exciting, so I couldn't resist watching the live performance."
He didn't shy away from focusing on Sheng Yanwen, "I also want to know if Mr. Sheng can still finish shooting within three NGs."
The staff at the scene were stunned for a moment, looking at each other in blank dismay, not daring to answer casually——
and many more.
Isn't the tone of Shi Zhou's second half of the sentence too subtle?
Could it be that the relationship between the two hasn't eased because of cooperation?On the surface, they talk about win-win cooperation, but in private, they are waiting for NG to see a joke?
Sheng Yanwen's hand holding the script tightened, and he had the illusion of fleeting——
Shi Zhou's words didn't seem like provoking a declaration of war, but rather teased him secretly.
Before Sheng Yanwen could figure out how to respond, director Sun Cong shouted not far away, "Yanwen, try a scene with the camera."
Sheng Yanwen handed the script to the assistant next to him, and walked over.
Seeing that he left without saying a word, Shi Zhou sulked helplessly, 【Fifteen, help me with the entire memo. 】
The system changes the voice pack and asks a cute question, [Zhoubao, what do you want to record? 】
[Just write down the word "wood". Every time I report it in the future, you will write it down once. I want to see when this piece of wood surnamed Sheng will open up clearly. 】
Shi Zhou hummed silently, but his eyes couldn't bear to leave the busy Sheng Yanwen.
After more than ten minutes of precise action, the official shooting finally started——
This scene is the ring competition in which Ren Wang went to the barracks with a knife after learning about Yang Shengbang's plan to assassinate him.
Sheng Yanwen's fight scenes are as smooth and powerful as ever, and every shot is almost perfect, which caused the onlookers to exclaim with approval.
Shi Zhou saw it in his eyes, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but curl up.
Hanhan silently observed Shizhou who was staring intently, and compared it with Lu Ran who was beside him with a calm expression, and dared to complain silently in his heart——
OK.
It really doesn't look like Lu Ran is making up with the group for the sake of rumors. On the contrary, it's his brother Zhou who goes to places with rumors every day.
Why do you act like a fan chasing a star?strange.
Sheng Yanwen successfully resolved the martial arts scene in the military camp, and a staff member nearby said, "It's Zhang Xuxi's Feng Yao's turn to play in the next scene, and it's also the continuation of the plot."
There was an uncontrollable chuckle from beside him and murmured, "Great, it's finally here."
When Shi Zhou heard this, he couldn't help but glance at his friend Lu Ran.
Hanhan who noticed it suddenly realized, and asked in a low voice, "Mr. Lu, so you like Zhang Xuxi?"
After Lu Ran heard this name, his almond eyes immediately became brighter, "Well, I like Zhang Xuxi very much, I like his singing and dancing on stage, and I also support his transition to filming... He, any role he plays, is worthy of praise. like."
Soon, the beat sounded again.
Ren Wang, played by Sheng Yanwen, left gracefully after beating Yang Shengbang and the other party's subordinates. Feng Yao, who came over after hearing the news, specially responded to his friends and sang red face.
This is just a simple transition scene, the focus is on Feng Yao played by Zhang Xuxi.
This time, it was Lu Ran's turn to stare intently.
Shi Zhou noticed his friend's shy feelings that could not be concealed, and his eyes couldn't help but fall.
The Lu Ran in front of him still had the optimistic and gentle character he remembered when he was young, and the scar that could never be erased had not yet appeared on his slender and beautiful wrist.
Although the current Lu Ran didn't mention it, Shi Zhou who traveled back knew that——
The couple who adopted Lu Ran back then were Zhang Xuxi's biological parents.
In other words, because their parents are close friends, Lu Ran and Zhang Xuxi have known each other since childhood, so they can be regarded as a good couple.
Later, after the Lu family suffered an accident, Lu Ran was fostered in the Zhang family. Although it was not a formal adoption relationship, the two were brothers in name in the eyes of outsiders.
It's just that Lu Ran's feelings for Zhang Xuxi have crossed the line, and he has a deep crush on him, and he is willing to follow in Zhang Xuxi's footsteps.
——Shizhou, Xu Xi said, he is willing to try with me.
Shi Zhou still remembered Lu Ran's joy on the phone, but in just a week, their "love affair" was exposed by the media.
Zhang Xuxi, who had just started his career as an actor, was listed on the top of the hot search, and the topic of the response was marked with the words #实恋爱情# in four characters.
Later, Shi Zhou saw Lu Ran who had cut his wrist and fell in a pool of blood.
A pale, hopeless friend with only a trace of life left.
...
Thinking about the past, Shi Zhou looked at Zhang Xuxi with a heavy and cold gaze.
Even though Zhang Xuxi won a place on the big screen five years later with his strength, in Shi Zhou's eyes, he is just a scumbag who can hurt his friends for the sake of his future!
[Fifteen, if I help Lu Ran stay away from Zhang Xuxi, will the future world line have a chance to change? 】
The system replied, [Zhoubao, after a certain time point, no matter what choice you make, the world line will be changed and integrated around you. As for the fate of host friends, the system center cannot make a 100% guarantee oh. 】
After all, Lu Ran is an independent thinking entity.
In other words, even though Shi Zhou hopes that Lu Ran can change and avoid harm, it still depends on one's own will, which cannot be forced by others.
【I see. 】
Shi Zhou responded, still staring at Zhang Xuxi.
As long as there is even the slightest chance to change, he doesn't want his friends to make the same mistakes again.
Sheng Yanwen, who finished the transitional scene, left the scene and unconsciously looked at Shi Zhou's position, but the other party completely ignored his existence this time, and instead locked on Zhang Xuxi who was filming.
The clear and cold eyes became deep and focused, filled with complex emotions that could not be resolved.
"..."
Sheng Yanwen's jawline tightened, and he didn't even feel like drinking the water that his assistant handed him over for a moment.
Assistant Xiao Cheng noticed his low air pressure and asked cautiously, "Brother Wen, what's wrong with you?"
Sheng Yanwen clenched his hands unconsciously, but instead touched the still unfinished tiger's mouth, said in a deep voice, "Hand hurts, I'll go take a shower, don't follow."
Shi Zhou's attention didn't stay on Zhang Xuxi for long, and as soon as he moved his eyes, he noticed the back of Sheng Yanwen walking away alone.
Shi Zhou looked at Xiao Cheng who was standing there, and silently asked with his mouth, "What's wrong with him?"
Xiaocheng recalled the scene that he ran into in the lounge that day, and when Xiaojiling went online again, he approached and whispered, "Brother Wen's wound on his tiger's mouth is not healed yet, he said his hand hurts."
"hand pain?"
Shi Zhou suddenly lost his mind to watch the filming, got up and walked outside.
Hanhan hastily followed two steps, "Brother Zhou, where are you going?"
Shi Zhou stopped him, "Don't follow."
"..."
The two assistants looked at each other, one was confused and the other understood.
--ah?What about watching the filming and learning from the director?
—Look!Brother Wen and Shi Zhou said the same thing!There must be something wrong with them!
...
3 minute later.
Sheng Yanwen used cold water to relieve the pain in his hands, but he couldn't suppress the inexplicable dryness in his heart.
He breathed a sigh of relief and was about to go back outside, but unexpectedly ran into Shi Zhou who was looking for him.
Shi Zhou took the initiative to ask, "I heard from Xiao Cheng that your hand still hurts?"
Sheng Yanwen kept his face steady, "A little injury, not so hypocritical."
Shi Zhou was still worried, and tried to observe the wound with his eyes, "Won't the anti-inflammatory medicine work? The weather is so hot, if it doesn't work for a long time, it will be troublesome."
"I know it myself."
Sheng Yan squeezed the tiger's mouth imperceptibly, and asked, "You came to the set today even if you don't have a show, is it really to listen to Director Sun's lecture?"
"You remember my filming announcement so clearly?"
Sheng Yanwen didn't expect him to 'wrong' the important point, "It's clearly written on the notice, just take a look at it and you'll know."
"Really? I thought you cared about me as much as I cared about you." Shi Zhou's ending voice contained a trace of disappointment, which was fleeting.
"It's good to learn more from Director Sun, but I'm here today mainly to watch your filming."
"..."
Sheng Yanwen was silent for a moment, and he still remembered the way Shi Zhou looked at Zhang Xuxi just now, "Really? Didn't you use me as an excuse to see other actors?"
After all, from the start to the present, all of Ren Wang's roles have been connected with Feng Yao played by Zhang Xuxi.
Sheng Yanwen has no prejudice against Shi Zhou. In his opinion, the first criterion is to perform well among actors, and getting along well or badly in private is a trivial matter.
However, Sheng Yanwen didn't want Shi Zhou to use him as an excuse to cover up, so as not to cause unnecessary trouble.
Shi Zhou couldn't react immediately, "What?"
Sheng Yanwen pointed out, "The scratches on the back of Zhang Xuxi's hands are more serious than mine. They are also crew members. You can actually bypass me and pay more attention to him. If there is nothing else, I will leave first."
"..."
At this moment, Shi Zhou finally reacted.
He gave a light laugh for the first time, and after confirming that no one was there, he quickly grabbed Sheng Yanwen's wrist and stopped his way, "Sheng Yanwen, wait."
There was a sharp difference between the icy cold touch on the wrist and Sheng Yanwen's body heat.
This refreshing coolness extended all the way to suppress the numbness and tingling pain in the tiger's mouth, and even the dryness in the body disappeared miraculously.
Sheng Yan didn't show it on the surface, serious and restrained, "Shizhou, I told you the day you were drunk, our relationship hasn't reached this level yet."
Rejection is rejection, but he didn't break free.
Shi Zhou explained to himself, "I'm not interested in Zhang Xuxi at all, I don't care how well his acting is, and I don't care whether the scratch on the back of his hand is good or bad."
Sheng Yan heard nothing.
Shi Zhou continued to rub the opponent's wrist with his fingertips, seeming to appease and tease, "Don't think about it, I thought I was obvious enough."
"..."
Sheng Yanwen got stuck for no reason.
The dryness in his heart disappeared in an instant, and he withdrew his hand to avoid the other party's gaze, "I didn't think about it, you don't need to explain to me. I have to shoot later, I'll go back first."
Shi Zhou stared at the opponent's slightly faster pace, and couldn't hold back a chuckle——
Although some people have not yet enlightened, the essence of the king of vinegar is still there.
The surrounding group performances sounded one after another.
Hanhan, who followed closely behind, was even more taken aback, "Brother Zhou! Are you alright?"
"Brother Zhou, what Brother Zhou? I..."
The staff turned around impatiently, only to face Shi Zhou behind him, and was so frightened that he couldn't even hold the notice in his hand.
The anger on his face froze for two or three seconds, and he calmed down and asked cautiously, "Shi, Shizhou, are you okay?"
"fine."
Shi Zhou didn't directly embarrass the staff member, but first cast his eyes on Lu Ran who was beside him, who was staring at him in amazement, with a work card hanging around his neck——
Lu Ran, the make-up assistant of the crew of "Troubled Times".
Shi Zhou smiled slightly at Lu Ran, and then said to the staff, "Brother Pan, Lu Ran is my friend, I don't know what he did wrong to make you so angry?"
Shi Zhou's tone was very calm, but this naturally cold look made people feel full of distance, and the sense of oppression swept invisibly.
"This this……"
Pan Ge looked at Lu Ran in disbelief, and secretly complained in his heart.

"If it's really not enough, I can ask my make-up team to come and help."
Lu Ran didn't expect that Shi Zhou would publicly stand up for him, and there was a gleam of gratitude in those warm almond eyes.
The makeup artists of the crew are divided into several teams.

Thinking about Lu Ran's reluctance to join Shizhou's exclusive makeup team, Hanhan's complexion changed slightly, "...do you like rumors?"
"No, it's not."
Lu Ran was well aware of the relationship between Shi Zhou and Sheng Yanwen, so he quickly explained as if he was afraid that he would be unhappy, "Sheng Yanwen is very good, but I didn't join the crew because of him."
Shi Zhou rarely patted the assistant on the head to stop his curious gossip, "Okay, what are you doing after so many inquiries? Lu Ran likes whoever is free."
Hanhan let out an 'oh'.
Shi Zhou looked at the electronic time on the wall, "Let's go, it's almost time to go to Director Sun's monitoring booth to watch the filming."
Hearing this, Lu Ran asked a little embarrassedly, "Shi Zhou, can I, can I follow you to see it up close?"
The crew has been shooting big scenes for the past two days, and he can only watch the actors filming from a distance, which is really exhausting.
Shi Zhou readily agreed, "Of course."
……
The three walked back to the filming set.
Shi Zhou greeted the director Sun Cong, and his eyes quickly searched for Sheng Yanwen's figure - the other party had just finished a new round of martial arts cooperation, went straight to the monitoring booth and sat down, with sharp eyebrows and eyes being touched up by a makeup artist .
Shi Zhou walked towards the monitoring shed without saying a word.
Sheng Yan, who was in the middle of making up, heard the movement around him, and after seeing someone coming from the corner of his corner of the eye, the cold and arrogant aura immersed in the character suddenly faded a lot.
The field manager smiled and handed over the little mazar, "Shi Zhou, aren't you out of action today?"
"I was too bored staying in the hotel, and this scene in the script was very exciting, so I couldn't resist watching the live performance."
He didn't shy away from focusing on Sheng Yanwen, "I also want to know if Mr. Sheng can still finish shooting within three NGs."
The staff at the scene were stunned for a moment, looking at each other in blank dismay, not daring to answer casually——
and many more.
Isn't the tone of Shi Zhou's second half of the sentence too subtle?
Could it be that the relationship between the two hasn't eased because of cooperation?On the surface, they talk about win-win cooperation, but in private, they are waiting for NG to see a joke?
Sheng Yanwen's hand holding the script tightened, and he had the illusion of fleeting——
Shi Zhou's words didn't seem like provoking a declaration of war, but rather teased him secretly.
Before Sheng Yanwen could figure out how to respond, director Sun Cong shouted not far away, "Yanwen, try a scene with the camera."
Sheng Yanwen handed the script to the assistant next to him, and walked over.
Seeing that he left without saying a word, Shi Zhou sulked helplessly, 【Fifteen, help me with the entire memo. 】
The system changes the voice pack and asks a cute question, [Zhoubao, what do you want to record? 】
[Just write down the word "wood". Every time I report it in the future, you will write it down once. I want to see when this piece of wood surnamed Sheng will open up clearly. 】
Shi Zhou hummed silently, but his eyes couldn't bear to leave the busy Sheng Yanwen.
After more than ten minutes of precise action, the official shooting finally started——
This scene is the ring competition in which Ren Wang went to the barracks with a knife after learning about Yang Shengbang's plan to assassinate him.
Sheng Yanwen's fight scenes are as smooth and powerful as ever, and every shot is almost perfect, which caused the onlookers to exclaim with approval.
Shi Zhou saw it in his eyes, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but curl up.
Hanhan silently observed Shizhou who was staring intently, and compared it with Lu Ran who was beside him with a calm expression, and dared to complain silently in his heart——
OK.
It really doesn't look like Lu Ran is making up with the group for the sake of rumors. On the contrary, it's his brother Zhou who goes to places with rumors every day.
Why do you act like a fan chasing a star?strange.
Sheng Yanwen successfully resolved the martial arts scene in the military camp, and a staff member nearby said, "It's Zhang Xuxi's Feng Yao's turn to play in the next scene, and it's also the continuation of the plot."
There was an uncontrollable chuckle from beside him and murmured, "Great, it's finally here."
When Shi Zhou heard this, he couldn't help but glance at his friend Lu Ran.
Hanhan who noticed it suddenly realized, and asked in a low voice, "Mr. Lu, so you like Zhang Xuxi?"
After Lu Ran heard this name, his almond eyes immediately became brighter, "Well, I like Zhang Xuxi very much, I like his singing and dancing on stage, and I also support his transition to filming... He, any role he plays, is worthy of praise. like."
Soon, the beat sounded again.
Ren Wang, played by Sheng Yanwen, left gracefully after beating Yang Shengbang and the other party's subordinates. Feng Yao, who came over after hearing the news, specially responded to his friends and sang red face.
This is just a simple transition scene, the focus is on Feng Yao played by Zhang Xuxi.
This time, it was Lu Ran's turn to stare intently.
Shi Zhou noticed his friend's shy feelings that could not be concealed, and his eyes couldn't help but fall.
The Lu Ran in front of him still had the optimistic and gentle character he remembered when he was young, and the scar that could never be erased had not yet appeared on his slender and beautiful wrist.
Although the current Lu Ran didn't mention it, Shi Zhou who traveled back knew that——
The couple who adopted Lu Ran back then were Zhang Xuxi's biological parents.
In other words, because their parents are close friends, Lu Ran and Zhang Xuxi have known each other since childhood, so they can be regarded as a good couple.
Later, after the Lu family suffered an accident, Lu Ran was fostered in the Zhang family. Although it was not a formal adoption relationship, the two were brothers in name in the eyes of outsiders.
It's just that Lu Ran's feelings for Zhang Xuxi have crossed the line, and he has a deep crush on him, and he is willing to follow in Zhang Xuxi's footsteps.
——Shizhou, Xu Xi said, he is willing to try with me.
Shi Zhou still remembered Lu Ran's joy on the phone, but in just a week, their "love affair" was exposed by the media.
Zhang Xuxi, who had just started his career as an actor, was listed on the top of the hot search, and the topic of the response was marked with the words #实恋爱情# in four characters.
Later, Shi Zhou saw Lu Ran who had cut his wrist and fell in a pool of blood.
A pale, hopeless friend with only a trace of life left.
...
Thinking about the past, Shi Zhou looked at Zhang Xuxi with a heavy and cold gaze.
Even though Zhang Xuxi won a place on the big screen five years later with his strength, in Shi Zhou's eyes, he is just a scumbag who can hurt his friends for the sake of his future!
[Fifteen, if I help Lu Ran stay away from Zhang Xuxi, will the future world line have a chance to change? 】
The system replied, [Zhoubao, after a certain time point, no matter what choice you make, the world line will be changed and integrated around you. As for the fate of host friends, the system center cannot make a 100% guarantee oh. 】
After all, Lu Ran is an independent thinking entity.
In other words, even though Shi Zhou hopes that Lu Ran can change and avoid harm, it still depends on one's own will, which cannot be forced by others.
【I see. 】
Shi Zhou responded, still staring at Zhang Xuxi.
As long as there is even the slightest chance to change, he doesn't want his friends to make the same mistakes again.
Sheng Yanwen, who finished the transitional scene, left the scene and unconsciously looked at Shi Zhou's position, but the other party completely ignored his existence this time, and instead locked on Zhang Xuxi who was filming.
The clear and cold eyes became deep and focused, filled with complex emotions that could not be resolved.
"..."
Sheng Yanwen's jawline tightened, and he didn't even feel like drinking the water that his assistant handed him over for a moment.
Assistant Xiao Cheng noticed his low air pressure and asked cautiously, "Brother Wen, what's wrong with you?"
Sheng Yanwen clenched his hands unconsciously, but instead touched the still unfinished tiger's mouth, said in a deep voice, "Hand hurts, I'll go take a shower, don't follow."
Shi Zhou's attention didn't stay on Zhang Xuxi for long, and as soon as he moved his eyes, he noticed the back of Sheng Yanwen walking away alone.
Shi Zhou looked at Xiao Cheng who was standing there, and silently asked with his mouth, "What's wrong with him?"
Xiaocheng recalled the scene that he ran into in the lounge that day, and when Xiaojiling went online again, he approached and whispered, "Brother Wen's wound on his tiger's mouth is not healed yet, he said his hand hurts."
"hand pain?"
Shi Zhou suddenly lost his mind to watch the filming, got up and walked outside.
Hanhan hastily followed two steps, "Brother Zhou, where are you going?"
Shi Zhou stopped him, "Don't follow."
"..."
The two assistants looked at each other, one was confused and the other understood.
--ah?What about watching the filming and learning from the director?
—Look!Brother Wen and Shi Zhou said the same thing!There must be something wrong with them!
...
3 minute later.
Sheng Yanwen used cold water to relieve the pain in his hands, but he couldn't suppress the inexplicable dryness in his heart.
He breathed a sigh of relief and was about to go back outside, but unexpectedly ran into Shi Zhou who was looking for him.
Shi Zhou took the initiative to ask, "I heard from Xiao Cheng that your hand still hurts?"
Sheng Yanwen kept his face steady, "A little injury, not so hypocritical."
Shi Zhou was still worried, and tried to observe the wound with his eyes, "Won't the anti-inflammatory medicine work? The weather is so hot, if it doesn't work for a long time, it will be troublesome."
"I know it myself."
Sheng Yan squeezed the tiger's mouth imperceptibly, and asked, "You came to the set today even if you don't have a show, is it really to listen to Director Sun's lecture?"
"You remember my filming announcement so clearly?"
Sheng Yanwen didn't expect him to 'wrong' the important point, "It's clearly written on the notice, just take a look at it and you'll know."
"Really? I thought you cared about me as much as I cared about you." Shi Zhou's ending voice contained a trace of disappointment, which was fleeting.
"It's good to learn more from Director Sun, but I'm here today mainly to watch your filming."
"..."
Sheng Yanwen was silent for a moment, and he still remembered the way Shi Zhou looked at Zhang Xuxi just now, "Really? Didn't you use me as an excuse to see other actors?"
After all, from the start to the present, all of Ren Wang's roles have been connected with Feng Yao played by Zhang Xuxi.
Sheng Yanwen has no prejudice against Shi Zhou. In his opinion, the first criterion is to perform well among actors, and getting along well or badly in private is a trivial matter.
However, Sheng Yanwen didn't want Shi Zhou to use him as an excuse to cover up, so as not to cause unnecessary trouble.
Shi Zhou couldn't react immediately, "What?"
Sheng Yanwen pointed out, "The scratches on the back of Zhang Xuxi's hands are more serious than mine. They are also crew members. You can actually bypass me and pay more attention to him. If there is nothing else, I will leave first."
"..."
At this moment, Shi Zhou finally reacted.
He gave a light laugh for the first time, and after confirming that no one was there, he quickly grabbed Sheng Yanwen's wrist and stopped his way, "Sheng Yanwen, wait."
There was a sharp difference between the icy cold touch on the wrist and Sheng Yanwen's body heat.
This refreshing coolness extended all the way to suppress the numbness and tingling pain in the tiger's mouth, and even the dryness in the body disappeared miraculously.
Sheng Yan didn't show it on the surface, serious and restrained, "Shizhou, I told you the day you were drunk, our relationship hasn't reached this level yet."
Rejection is rejection, but he didn't break free.
Shi Zhou explained to himself, "I'm not interested in Zhang Xuxi at all, I don't care how well his acting is, and I don't care whether the scratch on the back of his hand is good or bad."
Sheng Yan heard nothing.
Shi Zhou continued to rub the opponent's wrist with his fingertips, seeming to appease and tease, "Don't think about it, I thought I was obvious enough."
"..."
Sheng Yanwen got stuck for no reason.
The dryness in his heart disappeared in an instant, and he withdrew his hand to avoid the other party's gaze, "I didn't think about it, you don't need to explain to me. I have to shoot later, I'll go back first."
Shi Zhou stared at the opponent's slightly faster pace, and couldn't hold back a chuckle——
Although some people have not yet enlightened, the essence of the king of vinegar is still there.
