Please Have a Cup of Green Tea - Chapter 38
In the very private nanny car, a middle-aged man with slightly bald hair was in the driver’s seat, holding a mobile phone and quickly reporting to Xu Chengyang the next work schedule.
“There is a magazine to shoot on the 5th, the starlight ceremony on the 13th and the 14th, and two brand events in the latter half of the year…”
Xu Chengyang, who was resting on the soft leather seat with his eyes closed, opened his eyes lightly:
“Old Ji, you should know that things on the set are the most important to me.”
“No way, Chengyang, we have already screened out a lot of activities.” The agent shook his head helplessly, “You can’t do it if you don’t go. Yun Zhen has skipped more shifts. If the director wants to blame her, she will be blamed first.”
The male assistant in the back row complained to the manager, “Brother, did you know that the shameless woman has been harassing Brother Chengyang these past few days.”
“What’s wrong with her again?” The agent knew that Xu Chengyang and Yun Zhen had a grievance in the past, and naturally didn’t like Yun Zhen, “I won’t ask you to get back together, Chengyang?”
Xu Chengyang’s always gentle face also condensed with a layer of frost at this time:
“Don’t hate me.”
He will never forget that when his grandfather who loved him the most died, that woman left him in the arms of another old man and told him “it’s for his own good”.
That pain back then has now turned into a subconscious nausea.
Like there was physical contact in today’s scene, Xu Chengyang had already used up a small can of hand sanitizer.
“Ce Xing, this company is too rude,” the agent said angrily, “If it weren’t for the competitive contract in the past, where would it be necessary to aggrieve you to drop your coffee to shoot such an idol drama!”
Similar to the rumors from the outside world, Xu Chengyang, as an actor, did not accept new movies and better TV drama themes, but instead lowered his worth to star in a youth campus drama, because he was threatened by the original brokerage company Cexing.
Xu Chengyang set up a studio last year, and wrestled with Ce Xing’s contract termination for a whole year. The final result of the negotiation was to take over the filming of “Summer Love Letter”.
So even if the heroine in this drama is Yun Zhen, he has to compromise.
“Actually, the script is okay. I asked Director Chen, and he thinks the same as mine.” The man’s voice extended lazily, with a charming charm.
“What do you think?” The agent frowned. In his eyes, this is a brainless idol drama that does not require acting skills.
“Buried a new dark line.” Xu Chengyang smiled lightly, “He originally had high hopes for the role of Xu Wangshu, but who knew that the heroine would not live up to the expectations, and the setting was wasted in vain.”
“Hey, won’t it be changed to two heroines?” The agent seemed to have foreseen the **** storm after the broadcast.
“It doesn’t count,” Xu Chengyang shook his head gently, “Xu Wangshu’s role will not decrease.”
The agent frowned: “If you want me to say that Ce Xing also has a brain problem, I have to choose this woman for you as the heroine. How many big productions have you seen?”
“Who knows?” Xu Chengyang smiled, a little girl with aura in his eyes flashed in his mind, “However, compared to Xu Wangshu, Gu Dongyue’s role is quite interesting.”
The agent was stunned for a moment. The characters that Xu Yingdi evaluated as “interesting” were rare, and each of them has become a classic.
“Brother Chengyang,” the assistant suddenly remembered, “is that why you invited that newcomer to play?”
“Well, she’s very talented.” To Xu Chengyang, Bi Ming’s appearance was like a surprise, adding a touch of brilliance to this monotonous script.
This is the only girl who can not fall behind after facing herself.
***
The next morning, the mist was thin.
“Qingxia, Teacher Xu is really here!” The assistant nervously tugged at his artist’s sleeve.
“Oh.” Bi Ming took off the warm plush hat. On her plain white face, the tip of her nose and cheeks were blown by the wind with a touch of cherry powder, and she stared at the man walking towards her without blinking. .
Xu Chengyang also brought his assistant, a tall man wearing a simple beige turtleneck sweater and black trousers, showing off his graceful and slender figure.
It’s no wonder that the outside world’s impression of Xu Chengyang is “a humble gentleman, gentle and smooth like jade”. When he walks, he is like a clear and gentle wind, brushing through the green bamboo, which is heartbreaking.
“Hello, Teacher Xu!” Bi Ming raised her eyes and looked at him attentively, but she didn’t show any extra smile, looking a little serious.
She has always been good at controlling people’s hearts. At this time, Xu Chengyang seemed to appreciate herself as much as the original, but in fact, she was not that simple.
The second girl herself is more like a weapon against the heroine.
Xu Chengyang is a man who has a high pursuit of his own works. His former agency forced him to take on this sweet drama with insufficient logic and depth, and when he made him play with the woman he hated the most, he was destined to give it to him. The drama brings risks.
He doesn’t ruin the show, it’s his work ethic.
But he cultivated the second female lead, put forward “reasonable suggestions” for the script, and led the tone of the whole story to the ending he wanted. Even investors or Cexing had nothing to do.
Bi Ming thought to himself, maybe in the story where the original body became the queen, Xu Chengyang’s approach at the beginning was also premeditated.
On the other side, the man is also admiring the girl in front of him. The black hair is thick like silk, and the facial features are clean and original. There is no trace of a knife. She is simply wrapped in a white goose down jacket, but she is beautiful enough without applying grease.
The most rare thing is the unstoppable aura.
The girl in front of her doesn’t seem to have lost her childishness, but in the play, an ordinary school girl supporting actress is portrayed as a real bright moon, without any changes to the script and lines.
With such a talent, even Xu Chengyang, who is known for his acting skills, can only praise “the future generations are formidable”.
“Qingxia, don’t be so polite.” The man looked down at her with a smile, “Didn’t you say it yesterday, just call me ‘Brother Xu’.”
The male protagonist has always been like a spring breeze, and his reputation in the circle is excellent. Normal girls may easily fall into this kind of tenderness.
Bi Ming’s little face became more serious: “Thank you, Teacher Xu, for your kindness, but you are someone I have always admired, and you are willing to give me pointers. I can’t be arrogant.”
The man shook his head helplessly: “The word arrogance can’t be used indiscriminately, and it’s not in ancient times.” It can be seen that the newcomer has a clean mind and did not climb up the pole, which made him feel more relaxed.
“Mr. Xu is right.” The girl lowered her head, this time she was finally a little embarrassed, “I… I just thought about being able to play with you, and I was a little nervous.”
Her voice was still like an oriole, clear but not greasy.
“No need, I’m just an ordinary person.” Xu Chengyang gestured to his face, “It’s not a monster with a green face and fangs. He can’t eat people, so don’t be nervous.”
Bi Ming was amused by his self-deprecation and almost laughed, but soon turned back to being serious and serious.
“I know Teacher Xu, and I will do my best later.”
“What we have to correct today is the newly revised part of the script. Have you memorized the lines?”
“Well, I remember it all.” The girl nodded earnestly.
Xu Chengyang nodded lightly, feeling quite satisfied. Those few pages of lines are not long or short, and they are all written down in a hurry, which is still difficult.
The girl in front of her was either extremely attentive or extremely intelligent.
The two discussed it and went directly to the set-up studio—the school auditorium.
The scene where the male protagonist meets the female second for the first time will be filmed here.
After the crew adjusted the script, the simple two-line cp of “Summer Love Letter” became a square cp, and the childhood sweetheart line of the heroine Xu Wangshu and the male supporting actor Jian Weixing, as well as the two-way secret love line of Xia An and Gu Dongyue will all be shown.
This also means that each character can have two emotional lines of “sweet” and “bitter”, which is a very test of the starring’s acting skills, but as long as the audience can enter the play, it will definitely become an unforgettable screen role.
There were already some staff in charge of logistics in the shooting studio. They were a little surprised when they saw Xu Chengyang and Bi Ming who came in one after the other, but they quickly nodded under the explanation of the assistant. Check out today’s show.
“Mr. Xu is really nice!” The staff praised.
“You said it would be a little inappropriate…” The companion next to him bumped slightly, “That’s a newcomer.”
“What do you think?” The staff pinched the arm of his companion. “People are open and frank, so it’s not all clear.”
Under the subtle gaze of the onlookers, Bi Ming watched Xu Chengyang sit in the front row of the dark auditorium.
The expression on his face has switched to Xia An mode. The handsome and cheerful teenager is wearing a new school uniform, hiding lazily in the auditorium, blowing the cool summer wind, and waiting for the opening of the afternoon theatrical performance in advance.
It was lunch break, the auditorium was empty, and the students had not yet arrived.
Bi Ming lifted a strand of hair around her ear, revealing her white and lustrous ears and neck, and the lines on the side were as elegant as a swan.
At this moment, she is Gu Dongyue, a proud piano genius, who came to the auditorium for rehearsal in advance for theatrical performance.
“Who are you? Why are you here?” The girl’s cold voice was like a spring, rushing towards the sleepy teenager.
Xia An opened her eyes, and the girl in her eyes stood in the sunlight at the door, so beautiful that it was breath-taking.
His pupils contracted slightly, and after a while, he grinned: “Who are you? What are you doing here?”
The tone is light, with a little naughty and spirituality unique to teenagers.
Gu Dongyue pursed her lips, and seemed to express her gratitude for this way of speaking: “I’m a performer in the afternoon, and I’m here to test the piano. Irrelevant people don’t stay here.”
The girl’s gesture of rejecting people thousands of miles away did not frighten the teenager, and even aroused his interest:
“I am also the person who will be on stage in the afternoon. I am not an unrelated person. You can’t drive me away.”
Gu Dongyue is not good at arguing with others, and seeing the young man with beautiful eyebrows, looking at himself with a smile, saying some rogue words, his face is inexplicably hot: “Then don’t disturb my piano test.”
“You can play the piano?” The boy put his elbows on the soft back of the chair and looked at her curiously.
The girl no longer responded to him, pressed on the side of the wall, turned on a light above the stage, then sat on the piano bench, put her hands on the keys, closed her eyes and quietly brewed her emotions.
A few seconds later, the fair and beautiful fingers started to move like a witch’s spell.
The notes are slow and low at first, but soon—
The wind moved.
Fingers that are as dexterous as the wind and dance like flying are constantly jumping in the black and white keys.
At this moment, Xia An’s eyes were completely unable to move away.
With every movement of her fingers, his heart beat with it.
He didn’t know what music it was, but his breathing was completely controlled by those hands.
Under the light, the girl’s skin is as white as snow, and her profile is delicate and cold, but her music is so hot and lively, like a colorful picture scroll, which makes Xia An feel for the first time what a heart beats like a drum.
…
After the confrontation, the man took a sip of cold water to calm down the ups and downs in his chest.
Bi Ming had already stepped off the stage and called him respectfully, “Mr. Xu, what do you think?”
“You can play the piano?” Xu Chengyang smiled slightly, “This level is not a skill for a day or two, right?”
“Well, my mother used to be a music teacher.” Bi Ming replied gently.
Xu Chengyang looked at the girl with a calm face in front of him, his cheeks condensed with Xinli, with a hint of indifference in the play, he couldn’t help but laugh:
“That’s great too. I thought it was over when I played the piano.”
After thinking about it, he couldn’t help but praise again: “The director should be very happy when he finds out.”
“What about Teacher Xu?” the girl asked softly.
The man was stunned for a moment, but saw the serious expression on the other side.
“I… Of course I’m also very happy.” He knew that he couldn’t think about it, the little girl should now want to get the senior’s affirmation.
But seeing the girl reveal a shallow pear vortex because of her own words, his heart that had been dusty for a long time slowly began to loosen.
“Qingxia, how old are you?”
“twenty.”
The big stone in Xu Chengyang’s heart quietly fell.
The age difference of eight years…seems not too bad?
