Accidental Mark - Chapter 17
【Unexpected Marks·Chapter Seventeen】
When Pei Shaoze arrived at the shooting site at exactly 12:30, before the crew had time to eat lunch, he whispered to Zhang Fan to count the number of people to order takeaway.
Agent Zhou Yan spotted him sharp-eyed, and immediately greeted him and said, “President Pei, are you coming over… to visit the class?”
Since the important work arrangements of the C group artists must be reported to President Pei, Zhou Yan reported to President Pei yesterday that Cheng Xia was going to shoot the MV with Chen Yijun. She was not surprised that Pei Shaoze suddenly appeared here. She thought that President Pei might have come to visit the class personally to give Chen Yijun face, after all, Chen Yijun is the biggest star in Group C.
Pei Shaoze knew that everyone would think so, but did not explain. He glanced at the busy staff nearby and asked Zhou Yan in a low voice: “Has the shooting started?”
Zhou Yan replied: “Yes. It is snowing outside today, so I will shoot indoors first. Are you going to see it live?”
Pei Shaoze said “um”, Zhou Yan immediately turned around and took him to the set.
Director Zhang just tried to shoot the scene where Cheng Xia played the piano. Since Chen Yijun did not enter the shot, the two people did not intersect in the shot. In addition, it was only the first trial shot just now, and it was not counted.
After watching the test shot on the monitor screen, Director Zhang excitedly waved to Chen Yijun: “Yijun, come, you will also be in the shot this time. I want to shoot you and Cheng Xia from this angle at the same time.” He got up. Walked to the door to demonstrate to Chen Yijun: “You will come over from the corridor at that time, stop at this position, stand on your tiptoe and look in through the window, I will show you through it first.”
Chen Yijun followed him through the field, nodded and said: “Understood!”
Zhang Dao made a gesture to the photographer: “Prepare, this time the official shooting.”
Cheng Xia was dizzy just now by the dazzling light. It was difficult to see the keys under the bright light. He was playing the piano from memory. After nearly half an hour of trial shooting, he has adapted to the strong light on the set and the moving focus of the camera. In addition to the kindness of Director Zhang, the nervousness of the first shooting has gradually relaxed.
Director Zhang shouted “Start”, and Cheng Xia immediately entered the play, playing the piano with both hands earnestly.
As the boy’s hands danced skillfully on the black and white keys, soft notes gradually flowed through the air.
The artistic conception of this piano piece is very beautiful, as if people can see the snow falling gently in winter. The young man playing the piano seemed to have come to the vast snow by himself. He walked with an umbrella in the heavy snow, smiling on his lips, and full of memories in his heart.
Occasionally, the boy closed his eyes lightly, reveling in the music he played. Occasionally, he opened his eyes and looked at the keyboard, his eyes gentle as if he was looking at his beloved lover.
Ten fingers fluttered and the notes flowed.
Obviously it is the twelfth month of winter, ice and snow, but the Gangqin music that deliberately slows down the rhythm, but it permeates a different kind of warmth and tranquility, as if away from the turmoil of the city, and came to the paradise created by Cheng Xia with falling snow.
Chen Yijun passed by the corridor and was first attracted by the notes from the house. She turned her head curiously and found that the person playing the piano was the Beta senior whom she had secretly loved when she was young. Chen Yijun’s eyes suddenly widened.
Surprised, excited, anxious, wanting to approach, but not daring to approach. Complicated eyes, uncontrollable movement of tiptoeing and looking in, anxious, careful not to disturb…
Station 2 completely recorded Chen Yijun’s emotional changes.
She debuted for many years. Although her acting skills are not as good as those of the first-line stars in the film and television industry, she wrote this song by herself. The plot of the MV has been rehearsed countless times in her heart, making it easy to enter the scene. What’s more, today Cheng Xia was sitting and playing the piano exactly as she had imagined. Listening to soft music and seeing the teenager sitting in front of the piano, Chen Yijun really felt like a fawn in his heart hitting him.
This has nothing to do with love, but pure appreciation.
This dazzling teenager, just like she thought when she wrote the song, makes people unable to look away.
The heavy snow flew outside the window, and the whole world seemed to be quiet, and only the music played by Cheng Xia was left on the set.
…
Cheng Xia didn’t hear the director’s stop, so she was puzzled and had to continue playing the piano. Chen Yijun stood on tiptoe and stared at Cheng Xia in the house, without realizing when Pei Shaoze came to him.
Alpha, who is close to 1.9 meters tall, certainly doesn’t need to stand on tiptoe. Pei Shaoze saw Cheng Xia sitting under the light and playing the piano at a glance. The melody of the piano is very soft, like a gentle wind blowing through his ears, which calms Pei Shaoze’s mood.
During this time, he worked overtime every day until late at night, scanning all the film and television dramas of youth themes in recent years, and also watched movies with a score of over 9 on the film and television forum. Directors, celebrities, popular variety shows of major TV stations, advertisers who have worked with Tianxuan, etc., the materials after reading almost pile up in his computer.
Pei Shaoze is used to such high-intensity work and drinks a cup of coffee to refresh himself when he is tired.
But at this moment, watching Cheng Xia sitting there with a smile and playing the piano, the bright light in the room hits his face, an unblemished face can hold the lens even if the camera shoots directly.
The boy is very serious, very focused…and very dazzling.
Pei Shaoze suddenly felt that no matter how hard he worked, it was worth it.
The original book “Unexpected Marks” never mentions that Cheng Xia can play the piano, nor does it describe what Cheng Xia is like playing the piano. But today, he saw with his own eyes the impossible scene in this original work.
Since he forcibly changed the plot of the original novel despite the system warnings, Cheng Xia, who was not marked and insulted, seemed to have self-consciousness. The world is gradually out of the control of the original.
Pei Shaoze is very grateful for the original choice.
If he obeyed his instinct to possess Cheng Xia at that time, Cheng Xia would become his “lover”, and any resources he gave to Cheng Xia would have changed. Just as the owner raises a dog and feeds bones to the puppy, it is a kind of “charity” from a high-ranking boss to his lover. Even if Cheng Xia becomes popular in the future, she will never be able to get rid of the fact that “relying on the boss’s bed to get resources”.
For Cheng Xia, who has outstanding talent, such a start was unfair.
In the later period of the original work, Cheng Xia returned from blackness and killed Lin and Pei. Both his acting skills and popularity reached the peak. Although Cheng Xia, who grew up in the storm, was indestructible, she was also bruised.
Today, this young seedling has been carefully cared for by Pei Shaoze and planted in a flowerpot. It has not experienced wind or rain, nor has it been tortured, and because of this, his smile looks so warm and sunny.
The young man sitting under the light and playing the piano has attracted the attention of everyone around him.
Pei Shaoze raised the corner of his lips slightly, feeling inexplicably relieved that the seedlings he planted had grown up.
Zhou Yan followed Mr. Pei over to visit the class. The scene was rushing to shoot. Pei Shaoze did not bother in the past, but stood in an unobtrusive corner and looked through the window.
The man completely ignored Chen Yijun next to him. Since standing by the window, his eyes have been on Cheng Xia, who is playing the piano in the room. He had just walked over from the snow under an umbrella, still carrying a hint of ice-cold breath of snowflakes on his body, but when he looked at Cheng Xia, his eyes became very gentle, and the corners of his mouth even raised a smile.
In Zhou Yan’s impression, Pei Shaoze always put on a serious and calm face in the company, and rarely showed a smile. But today, when Mr. Pei watched Cheng Xia play the piano, he actually laughed.
I have to say that Mr. Pei is very handsome with a smile. If he is willing to make his debut, he will definitely be able to fascinate a large number of fans… Zhou Yannao made up for the scene where Pei Shaoze was going to act on his debut, and he was taken aback by himself and hurriedly took back his thoughts.
Inside the house, Cheng Xia had finished playing the entire song. After the music, all the people around came back to their senses.
Director Zhang hurriedly shouted: “Stop!”
Photography and lighting were all turned off, and Chen Yijun was also brought back to reality. Cheng Xia felt a little nervous, wondering if she hadn’t performed well enough, so Zhang Dao took the clips he played for nearly 4 minutes?
As a result Director Zhang stood up excitedly and slapped his thigh hard: “Great, this is the picture I want!” He asked Cheng Xia to come and watch the replay, while asking: “How many levels are you playing the piano, Cheng Xia? Yes, I was taken in by you!”
Cheng Xia explained: “I just passed the professional tenth level of the Music Association last year.”
Rongcheng Music Association, which is the most authoritative music evaluation organization in the country, can become a piano teacher after passing the tenth level of the Music Association. Director Zhang gave a thumbs up: “Awesome! Why don’t you go to the Conservatory? You have all passed the professional certificate, and then you can go to a personal concert!”
Cheng Xia smiled and said: “My father wanted me to enter the Conservatory of Music, but I have been naughty since I was a child. I will feel uncomfortable if I sit still for a long time. I like acting more than playing the piano, so I applied for the film for the art exam. College.”
“Yeah, it’s not bad to report to the Film Academy. You are very talented in acting. You have no problem with your manners and actions just now. However, you still have to practice your lens sense. A few times the camera came over and you just turned your head and didn’t get your face. Director Zhang lovingly patted Cheng Xia’s shoulder, and asked with interest: “By the way, what is the name of the piece you just played? It sounds pretty good.”
“It’s called “Snow Fantasy”.” A low voice suddenly intervened, and Zhang and Cheng Xia turned their heads together.
Seeing Pei Shaoze push the door in, the tall Alpha blocked the light overhead as soon as he entered the room.
He came braving the snow, with a hint of coldness on his body, the hem of his long black coat was wet with snow, and there were traces of snowflakes on the edges of his leather shoes, but this did not affect his aura.
Alpha’s strong sense of oppression makes him instantly become the focus wherever he goes.
The room fell silent suddenly, as if the time pause button had been pressed.
The staff around didn’t know who this Alpha was, and they didn’t dare to release the atmosphere.
Pei Shaoze looked at Cheng Xia: “Am I right?”
Cheng Xia recovered and nodded hurriedly: “Yes, this piece is called “Snow Fantasy”. I thought that the content of the MV was related to Daxue, so I played this piano piece.”
Pei Shaoze said with admiration: “It’s a good game.”
Chen Yijun came in behind him and said with a smile: “President Pei has come to visit the class? Suddenly I feel so honored!”
Pei Shaoze said “um”, stepped forward and politely extended his hand: “Hello, Director Zhang.”
Director Zhang hurriedly reached out and shook his hand, and narrowed his eyes: “President Pei actually came to visit the class in person. We were really flattered. We didn’t react for a while, hahaha!”
Pei Shaoze said politely: “Director Zhang is polite. Yijun’s single will be released on Valentine’s Day. Time is tight, and you have to work hard these days.”
As he said, he turned back to find Zhang Fan: “I asked Assistant Zhang to order meals for everyone. The weather is so cold, you have been busy all morning, let’s have lunch first, and you will have the energy to continue shooting when you are full.”
There was a warm applause around: “Great!” “I’m just hungry, thank you Mr. Pei!”
It is the first time for many staff members to meet the young boss of Tianxuan Group. There are many negative rumors about Pei Shaoze from the outside world. But when everyone saw him with their own eyes today, they felt… Mr. Pei is pretty good? Concerned about the company’s artists, came to visit the class in person, did not put on the slightest boss, and even ordered meals for everyone thoughtfully?
After Zhang Fan asked the delivery staff to bring the lunch box over, everyone’s favorability for Pei Shaoze rose even more.
This fast food is too rich, right?
Braised chicken legs, tomato sirloin, vegetarian fried snow peas, fish-flavored pork shreds, fried eggplant with beans, two meats and three vegetables, plus a bowl of winter melon pork ribs soup, a fruit set containing watermelon, cherry tomatoes, dragon fruit and kiwi, A cup of oatmeal milk tea that is sealed and can be kept in the afternoon, and a snack bag packed with peeled walnuts, peanuts, almonds and other dried fruits?
When you were hungry and cold, seeing such a sumptuous lunch made everyone feel really warm!
Someone whispered: “This bento is very expensive, right?” “Five dishes and a soup, fruit boxes, nut bags, and even milk tea are prepared. Mr. Pei is so generous!” “I suddenly wish him Come visit the class every day…”
Cheng Xia was also taken aback when he opened the lunch box. He usually ordered a takeout for more than 20 yuan, which is enough. He couldn’t bear to buy such an expensive bento. It is estimated that Mr. Pei’s lunch for all the staff in Banguang today cost thousands of yuan. This is called “rich and willful”?
Cheng Xia raised her head and suddenly met Pei Shaoze’s eyes.
For some reason, Cheng Xia has the illusion that Mr. Pei has been watching him all the time?
He hurriedly drove away such unreliable thoughts, and showed a polite smile at Pei Shaoze: “President Pei, don’t you want to eat?”
Pei Shaoze walked to him: “I’ve had lunch.”
Cheng Xia said “Oh”, and then asked quietly after two seconds of silence: “Does President Pei know the song I just played?”
“I learned piano when I was a child, and I liked this piece very much.” Pei Shaoze paused and added, “However, I am not as good as you. I passed the professional tenth grade. I only learned the amateur grade six and then it was abandoned. Music. No talent.”
“Oh, I was forced.” Cheng Xia smiled embarrassedly and said frankly, “When I was a child, I was too naughty and ran around making trouble. My parents drove me to learn piano in order to calm me down. Dad also drove himself, and escorted me to the piano teacher regularly every weekend. I have been studying for more than ten years…”
Escort? Imagining the scene of Cheng Yiming taking the naughty Xiao Cheng Xia into the car to learn the piano, Pei Shaoze’s eyes were more gentle, and he looked at him and said, “It does no harm if your father forces you to learn a talent. Look, today. Just use it.”
“…” Cheng Xia didn’t know how to answer. He was a little nervous, embarrassed to look at Mr. Pei’s eyes. What makes him more puzzled is that President Pei didn’t come to visit Chen Yijun? Why did you come to chat with him?

Changed the cover, on the cover is the Q version of Pei and Xia Xia:)
This is the ABO world, overhead, overhead, overhead! There will be no Central Conservatory of Music. Cheng Xia Kao’s Rongcheng Music Association certificate is the most powerful. It’s normal for fathers to be film actors and mothers to be dancers.
See you tomorrow~
