time becomes poetry

Chapter 8 Ruoli

Autumn in this city is very short, and the ensuing winter is accompanied by a continuous rainy season, which is bone-chillingly wet and cold.

Even so, there was news of Wen Ningshan's wedding date.

Christmas in this rarely snowy city.

Lixiang received the invitation letter, and he knew that Wen Ningshan would never treat him like this.

The sender must be Lin Jinghan, Wen Ningshan's fiancé, and he couldn't wait to announce his victory to Lixiang.

Lixiang laughed it off and didn't want to pay attention to this childish game.

His new drama "Treading Snow" is about to finish, but he has very little communication with Xi Ruoyun in private.

Lixiang never thought of being able to enter her life, as long as he looked at her from a distance, he was very satisfied.

But sometimes the more casual you are, the more opportunities you will get.

On this day, details about Wen Ningshan's upcoming wedding swept the entire media.

Newspapers, magazines, TV walls, those two names are everywhere.

Even on set, Lixiang still had to face this problem.

PSTV gossip reporter Julie ran over and asked Li Xiang: "I heard that you also received an invitation letter for Wen Ningshan's wedding, is it true?"

Li Xiang has always been gentle and has friendship with many PSTV production staff. Although he was unhappy, he still replied: "Yes."

Julie: "Tsk tsk tsk, she can really do it."

Lixiang: "I don't think this matter has anything to do with Wen Ningshan."

Julie: "She treats you like this, and you still speak for her?"

Li Xiang shrugged.

Julie: "Then you go?"

Lixiang: "I haven't figured it out yet."

Julie: "You go, take a beautiful friend of yours, let her see, you can find a better one without her!"

Li Xiang smiled: "My desire for revenge is not that strong, if I really go, I will send blessings."

Julie curled her lips: "You are such a nice person, Wen Ningshan is really unlucky."

Lixiang: "Haha, thank you for the compliment, go to work, see you another day."

Lixiang picked up the script and found that Ruoyun was by his side and heard his conversation with Julie.

He nodded to Ruoyun as a greeting.

Normally, Ruoyun would nod to her, and their day's communication was over.

But today, Ruoyun turned sideways: "Wen Ningshan is getting married?"

Lixiang obviously didn't expect that she would talk to him, he found Ruoyun looking at him, this was the first time outside the scene.

Lixiang: "Well, yes."

Ruoyun: "You were lovers before, right?"

Lixiang: "Well, but it's been a while."

Ruoyun: "What happened?"

Lixiang: "She just discovered that she loves others more."

Ruoyun: "It must be very difficult for you recently."

Lixiang: "Actually, it's okay. I've already prepared myself. I'm afraid that people will ask me, and I don't know how to answer. I'm also afraid that people won't ask me, so I sympathize with me from the bottom of my heart."

Ruoyun: "Actually, I also received an invitation letter. To tell you the truth, I don't like crowds, but I like to attend weddings. If you don't have a suitable person to bring, I can accompany you."

Li Xiang's eyes widened, it all happened so suddenly.

One second they were strangers, and the next second, she wanted to be by his side.

Lixiang: "Of course I can't ask for it. It's just that before you and me..."

Ruoyun: "Never said anything?"

Li Xiang: "And you have been..."

Ruoyun: "Is it cold?"

Lixiang: "Yes."

The corners of Ruoyun's mouth raised slightly: "Have you realized that you have never taken the initiative to talk to me?"

Li Xiang recalled it, and it was true.

Ruoyun: "I don't know how many people I have alienated because of my appearance."

Lixiang: "Iceberg Beauty has always been your label."

Ruoyun frowned: "I hate being labeled. In fact, I just don't like socializing with friends. It's like this in the circle. If you don't belong to any small group, then you are isolated."

Lixiang: "Indeed."

Ruoyun: "Stop talking, the filming will start soon, I'm going to prepare."

Watching Ruoyun leave, Lixiang folds up a newspaper with Wen Ningshan's marriage news and throws it away.

He didn't notice the news about Li Hua being injured and hospitalized on the other side of the newspaper.

While the success of "The New Yorker" brought in box office, it also broadened Li Hua's acting career.

Action film directors who had shunned Li Hua before also approached him to sign contracts.

While Li Hua had an accident during filming, he was hospitalized with a broken arm.

When Ruoqi read this news, she had already joined the crew of "The Storm".

She didn't know if it was appropriate for her to visit him. After all, the last meeting was not very pleasant, and she finally decided not to go.

Ruoqi participated in the filming for the second time and joined Wang Ruien's crew for the first time.

Different from Li Enguang's shooting method, Wang Ruien paid more attention to details, so many scenes had to be shot more than once.

After a few days, Ruoqi was exhausted and unfit, but she also suffered unspeakably.

In one shoot, Ruoqi made many mistakes in a row, Wang Ruien stopped and said he wanted to talk to her alone.

The two left the studio.

Wang Ruien: "Ruoqi, what's the matter with you today, making mistakes frequently?"

Ruoqi: "I'm sorry, director, I'm not used to the continuous shooting these days, I'm a little tired."

Wang Rui'en: "As an actor, how can you be tired easily? Don't forget, it's not just you, there are other actors, there are so many staff members, and I. If you don't pass, everyone is with you."

Ruoqi lowered her head and heard Wang Ruien's dissatisfaction: "I'm sorry, director."

Wang Ruien: "Instead of apologizing, it's better to try to be an excellent actor."

After Ruoqi heard this, she immediately had the urge to cry, but she suppressed her grievances: "Yes, director, give me another chance, and I will definitely not let you down."

Ruoqi is a tough girl, she does not show weakness, especially in front of Wang Ruien.

She didn't want Wang Rui'en to think that he was wrong at that time.

After many nights of catching up, she finally passed a few more difficult scenes.

Facing the camera, everything went smoothly, and she saw Wang Ruien's relaxed expression.

Wang Ruien: "Ruoqi, I'm sorry, I was a little harsh on you a few days ago, which may have made you unhappy."

Ruoqi: "No, the professionalism of the work is taken for granted. I was really out of shape those few days."

Wang Rui'en nodded: "I'm sure I saw the right person, you don't have the squeamishness of some new actors at all."

Ruoqi: "Thank you director."

Wang Rui'en: "You can call me another name in the future, don't call me director and director all the time, just call me Brother Wang."

Ruoqi: "Brother Wang?"

Wang Ruien: "Well, it feels much more intimate this way."

Ruoqi smiled at him.

Wang Ruien: "Also, I will treat you to dinner tonight."

Ruoqi: "Really?"

Wang Rui'en: "Well, I have worked so hard these days, I will reward you."

The two came to the restaurant at night.

For Ruoqi, this is an official date.

Because she came directly after filming, she didn't have a chance to go home and change clothes, but she still put on makeup and warm orange lipstick.

Wang Ruien: "This is our first meeting outside of work."

Ruoqi: "Except for the first meeting."

Wang Ruien: "Yeah, it feels so far away. I was still an actor at that time."

Ruoqi: "You didn't win the Academy Award at that time."

Wang Ruien: "Yes, I really miss those days."

Ruoqi: "Directing is a very hard job."

Ryan Wang agrees.

Wang Ruien: "But Ruoqi, I have to say, you are a lucky one."

Ruoqi: "Yes, I have noble people to help me along the way."

Wang Rui'en: "It's the first time you're filming and you can cooperate with big names like Li Hua and Li Enguang. You should have many invitations now, right?"

Ruoqi: "To tell you the truth, director Li Xiangli also wanted me to join his movie, I'm really flattered."

When Wang Ruien heard the name, his face suddenly sank: "Really? What movie?"

Ruoqi: "Zhong Xiang, the queen of a generation of singers. Because there are singing scenes in it, it seems that my background as a singer is quite good."

Wang Ruien nodded, but did not continue this topic.

Wang Ruien changed the subject: "Have you heard? Li Hua is hospitalized."

Ruoqi: "I heard."

Wang Rui'en: "I went to see him a few days ago, and he seemed very serious."

Ruoqi was a little surprised: "Really? I thought it was just a skin injury."

Wang Ruien: "He has undergone surgery, I don't know if his acting will be affected in the future."

Ruoqi fell into silence.She was a little absent-minded for the rest of the meal.

In the evening, Lixiang dropped by to pick Ruoqi home.

On the way, Lixiang: "How does it feel to have dinner with Wang Ruien?"

Ruoqi: "It's different from what I thought before. In my memory, he is a very gentle person, but now he is often unsmiling, very serious, and feels a little alienated."

Li Xiang: "The last time you saw him, he was still in front of the scene. After so many years of directing, he will naturally become different."

Ruoqi nodded: "Yes."

Lixiang: "If life is just as it was first seen, what is the autumn wind and the sad painting fan?"

Ruoqi continued: "Waiting for leisure to change the old man's heart, but the old man's heart is easy to change..."

She stopped suddenly, Wang Ruien was no longer the person she was when she first met, so did she change her mind?

Lixiang: "Why don't you recite it?

Ruoqi: "I don't remember the rest."

Li Xiang: "By the way, guess who I'm going to bring to Wen Ningshan's wedding?"

Ruoqi looked at Lixiang, his smile was something she had never seen before.

Ruoqi smiled slightly and guessed the answer.
