Gu Nian was holding the script in her hand, looking at the two figures in the middle of the shooting area, while watching.

The two people in the field are Luo Xiu and Zong Shiyi. They are going to film the final scene of the rival scene between Yun Tan and Ding Qiao, but they will only miss the intimate scene about half a minute in the middle.

That paragraph was naturally the scene that was rejected by Zong Shiyi and wanted to take care of it.

The storyboard here is nearing the end of the entire “There are monsters” script.

Here, Ding Qiao finally recovered the memories of his previous life after experiencing a life and death catastrophe, and the male protagonist Wu Wuya was in danger and his life was hanging by a thread in order to overcome her catastrophe.

At this time, Yuntan, who had been enchanted, appeared. In order to prevent Ding Qiao from saving his life and death, he took Ding Qiao into his residence in the mountains and put him under house arrest.

Here will break out the last match between the two of them, and Yun Tan finally chose to give up and quit and complete the two.

At this time, the shooting had not officially started, and Geng Hongyu was frowning and speaking to the two of them. Too far away, the sound is unclear.

In fact, Gu Nian was not listening.

“What are you thinking about.”

“I was thinking… when did he start, never calling me Gu Xiao again”

After Gu Nian’s sleepwalking voice, she turned her head vigilantly and narrowed her eyes to Deputy Director Shanglin.

Gu Nian lowered her eyes, helplessly: “Why are you always out of sight?”

“Obviously you are fascinated by the handsome guy yourself, and you are slandering me?”

“How can I be fascinated by handsome guys?”

“Here,” Deputy Director Lin lifted his chin toward the field, “Isn’t he counting?”

“…”

Gu Nian looked back.

In the last scene, Yun Tan took Ding Qiao away from the dunya and returned to the mountains, and also restored his makeup in the previous life.

The only difference is that the long hair that attacked the crow feathers has changed from a lock of strange white between the original ones, and now it’s like snow all over the head.

Obviously it is the most extreme clean, but it is lined by the beautiful night flower outlined by the blood-red pen on the forehead, which is white and shocking.

Under the beautiful night flowers, the facial features on that clear face are even more sculpted with light makeup, and the pale lips are deliberately pressed down, cool and cold, and beautiful to kiss.

“Looking at it again?”

“…”

Gu Nian was called back to her senses by the joking voice, she wilted her eyelids and replied, “It was true just now, but I was thinking about it before you came over.”

“Hey, see what the handsome guy is embarrassed to admit.”

“I do not……”

Assistant Director Lin didn’t hear it, his eyes fell, and he happily said, “Luo Xiu is really amazing. When he came out with this makeup and hair style, more than half of the little girls in the group made him feel uncomfortable. ”

Gu Nian and You Rongyan raised their heads proudly: “Of course, my goose… Mr. Luo Xiu is the most handsome.”

“Yo, you like him so much?”

Gu Nian didn’t want to study the types and differences of “likes” with the old fox deputy director, she blinked and swept these words from under her eyelids.

“Do you have any business with me?”

The word “business” was deliberately bitten by the little girl.

Assistant Director Lin didn’t care, “I’ll confirm your preparations. Once Zong Shiyi’s passage is over, you have to go up immediately, but don’t go up and stare at people in a daze, then Director Geng will scold you. No.”

“I won’t.”

“Is the script memorized?”

“That paragraph didn’t have a few lines, and it was a script written by me. You looked down on me too much.”

“Who said that you are only allowed to recite that paragraph, and you have to do it together in front of you,” Deputy Director Lin raised his face, “If you don’t recite the previous lines, then how can you brew the emotion of Ding Qiao there?”

“…I’m just a stand-in who doesn’t have a frontal camera, do I still need to perform 100% acting?”

“That must be, how strict Director Geng is, don’t you have any impression?”

Gu Nian: “…”

The shadow that was pushed into the arms of the baby goose last time still lingers, and occasionally she would ask her old mother’s heart when she dreamed back at midnight, how could she have no impression.

After finishing the defamation, Gu Nian nodded with eyes: “I also remember the previous one, don’t worry.”

“Really?” Assistant Director Lin didn’t seem to trust her.

“Ok.”

Gu Nian responded with no expression, and looked up at the court. Filming has already begun at this moment.

Ding Qiao who wanted to escape was blocked by Yun Tan outside his cave in the mountain. The slender and straight figure wore a long robe, draped like snow, but it was a pity that he turned his back to Gu Nian’s side, and couldn’t see the front or the lines.

Gu Nian tilted her body and leaned against the armrest of the chair next to her. She lazily propped her cheek and read Yun Tan’s lines blankly.

[Regardless of past and present, I always seem to be one step later than him. I had no choice in the last life, but this time… Ding Qiao, I don’t want to let you go anymore. ]

Gu Nian changed her left hand to support her left cheek, her body also tilted to the other side, and she continued to read Ding Qiao’s lines without feeling good.

[I know I owe you a lot. When I rescue him, I will pay it back! ]

[I have been waiting for you for hundreds of years, and I don’t want to wait any longer. You know my feelings for you, if you really want to repay, then you stay. ]

[Do you really want me to repay this way? ]

[…]

[Ok, then I’ll give it back to you! ]

After Gu Nian finished reciting the lines, the rhythm got stuck, and a second or two later, there was a sound of torn cloth from the shooting area.

Stabbed.

Zong Shiyi’s long slanted skirt was pulled away from the neckline, and a piece of rag was torn off, revealing a white tube top.

Her eyes were red, and she said bitterly:

[I give you what you want, we have nothing to do since then! ]

For a long while.

The long hair slipped under his shoulders, and the man staggered back.

[You go. ]

After this paragraph, Ding Qiao turned around and wanted to leave. After a few steps, she couldn’t bear to see Yun Tan’s despair and loneliness. She turned around and kissed Yun Tan’s chin apologetically, and finally left after saying “I’m sorry”.

But before Zong Shiyi took the first step to leave, the monitoring area horn rang and Geng Hongyu shocked the air with an angry voice:

“card!”

“…”

Before the end of this shot, Geng Hongyu’s call to stop was obviously dissatisfied again. The staff did not speak, but stopped according to the rules.

Sure enough, the next second Geng Hongyu endured his irritability and said, “Yun Tan, your eyes are wrong after Ding Qiao tore his clothes. She is too indifferent and rigid. She is your beloved woman. You have to have more feelings! Come over.”

“…”

“card!”

“Desire. Hope, desire. Hope! You have to restrain your desire for forbearance. Wang reveals! You have fallen into the devil, and you love her again. If she does this, your eyes can’t be so peaceful! Understand? Let’s go again. Come again.”

“…”

“card!”

“Come again!”

“…”

“card!”

“One last time!!”

“…”

“card!!!”

Geng Hongyu threw the horn, his face black as charcoal.

He stared angrily at the long-haired silhouette in a black robe in the field. After his chest rose and fell violently, he finally looked fiercely and brushed his hand.

“So be it.”

Word by word seemed to squeeze out from between teeth.

Gu Nian from the sidelines: “…”

Oh humiliation.

What a heartbreaking scene.

Deputy Director Lin, who was standing next to Gu Nian, licked his teeth and said with a headache, “This Luo Xiu’s acting…”

Gu Nian: “There is a lot of room for improvement.”

Deputy Lin Daoqi laughed: “It’s quite big, and the whole school has more room for improvement.”

Gu Nian: “…”

Assistant Director Lin had no time to talk to Gu Nian any more, and went back to appease the director-in-chief who had been so angry with Luo Xiu. The two of them joined their heads together, whispering and talking, and didn’t know what they were talking about, they saw Geng Hongyu frowning and raising his eyes: “Can this be useful?”

“Try it, it won’t be worse than now anyway.”

“…”

Sidelines.

Gu Nian was staring at the script in a daze, and the voice of Director Geng through the loudspeaker rang in his ear: “Little Ding Qiao, it’s you.”

Gu Nian: “…”

Go to his little Ding Qiao.

Gu Nian resentfully put the script on a side chair, stood up with drooping eyes, and walked towards the center of the shooting area.

The lighting team is being re-adjusted according to the requirements of the director team. The shooting has not yet officially started, and Zong Shiyi is still standing next to Luo Xiu and talking.

But when Yu Guang caught Gu Nian coming over, Zong Shiyi stepped back and smiled at the two of them separately: “I won’t disturb you anymore.”

Gu Nian: “?”

Without waiting for Gu Nian to understand what this meant, Zong Shiyi was already wearing the same long dress as hers, and left the scene lightly.

Gu Nian looked back: “She didn’t say anything weird to you just now, right?”

When Luo Xiu saw her, he laughed: “For example.”

Gu Nian: “Um, ridicule, or something.”

Luo Xiu lowered his eyes and smiled: “No, don’t worry about me.”

“That’s good.”

Seeing the girl let out a sigh of relief and go back, Luo Xiu’s eyes moved slightly and asked, “Is my performance just now disappointing you?”

“Hey?”

Gu Nian looked up blankly, and then saw her baby Goose staring at her with a pair of clear brown eyes, looking a bit lonely.

Gu Nian was worried: “No! How could it!?” Luo Xiu lowered his eyes and said in a low voice: “But Director Geng seems very angry.”

“He’s very temperamental,” Gu Nian subconsciously got rid of the truth, and hurriedly remedied it after speaking, “Director Geng is demanding, and you are a newcomer. It is inevitable. Don’t worry too much.”

“it is good.”

Gu Nian thought for a while, and taught the baby Goose seriously while not filming: “In the scene just now, there was only a close-up surveillance camera on the director’s team. I didn’t see it. But according to Director Geng, it should be your facial expression and The emotion in his eyes did not arouse.”

Luo Xiu looked at her for an instant, with a gentle voice: “Then what should I do.”

Gu Nian didn’t notice, she lowered her gaze and thought, and then she tapped her palm: “In this case, if you really can’t get into the play, you can imagine the person you are playing against as someone you like.”

“…”

After waiting for a few seconds without waiting for a response, Gu Nian turned her head, but found that Luo Xiu’s expression did not change at all. She decided to enlighten her: “Well, for example, can you substitute your first love?”

Luo Xiu looked down.

Gu Nian asked uncomfortably, “What’s wrong?”

“I do not have.”

Gu Nian: “? Nothing?”

“…”

Luo Xiu looked up at her and stopped talking.

The brown eyes are like two clear and clear amber stones, in the light of the pupils, she is closely hooked to her figure.

Looking at each other for two seconds, Gu Nian was stunned: “Have you never been in love?”

Luo Xiu tilted his face slightly, and a certain emotion was suppressed from the bottom of his eyes. Then he turned back and smiled gently at her: “Sorry.”

Gu Nian returned to his senses, with a serious expression: “This is not something to be sorry for.”

“But your reaction just now seems to be unusual for me.”

“…I didn’t mean that. If you misunderstood, I should apologize.” Gu Nian hesitated, and said frankly, “Actually, I just think that a good-looking and gentle person like Mr. Luo Xiu should be here. I had a girlfriend when I was a student.”

Luo Xiu had a meal.

Gu Nian did not notice the change in his expression, and sighed with regret: “If you have never been in love, then the emotional part of the script at this age will indeed be separated by a lot for you, Mr. Luo Xiu… I have missed my decision. I have never considered this. A possibility.”

Luo Xiu was taken aback and chuckled.

Gu Nian looked up blankly: “What?”

“It’s nothing,” Luo Xiu raised his eyes, “I just think your thinking is strange and cute.”

Gu Nian: “…?”

Gu Nian: Was she just praised as cute by the baby goose?

knock.

The image of the great mother is on the verge of collapse.

Gu Nian is still reflecting on where she did not do enough motherly and damaged her image. The director team has already played loudspeakers.

“All groups prepare.”

Taking advantage of the last moment, Gu Nian got together to Luo Xiu’s place, and said in a serious voice: “Don’t worry, you will receive a script that is more suitable for you in the future. Don’t be depressed!”

Luo Xiu raised his eyes, and the shadow of her approaching was burned under his eyes: “…OK.”

“Oh yes, little Ding Qiao.”

“?”

Gu Nian followed the voice and looked back at the surveillance area.

Holding the trumpet, Geng Hongyu frowned uncertainly: “Your scene, please mention it a little bit forward.”

Gu Nian: “Huh?”

Geng Hongyu: “Well, in this way, you two will just repeat the storytelling just now.”

Gu Nian: “…”

Gu Nian: “???”

Gu Nian was stunned for a few seconds: “Don’t I just need to take the shot of turning back to Bi Dong Yun Tan?”

“In order to make dumplings smoothly, let’s shoot them all.”

Gu Nian: “But that’s not what I said just now…”

“What?” Geng Hongyu asked, “This is still another price, I need to make up for it?”

Gu Nian: “…”

Okay, succumb to power.

As soon as Gu Nian was about to turn back, she listened to Deputy Director Lin yelling and yelling from the side: “Prop group, go up and make Xiao Ding Qiao’s collar a little bit crisper.”

Gu Nian froze.

After a second or two, she turned her head in horror: “Do I want to tear it?”

“The whole lens is taken in all positions, and any lens can be cut in, of course.”

“…”

At the bottom of Luo Xiu’s eyes, the darkness in his pupils seemed to jump suddenly.

At that moment he had already turned sideways instinctively.

But a second before blocking the exit, Luo Xiu slowly returned the flame-like emotions under his eyes.

…Almost forgot.

He is not qualified yet, and has no position to stop it.

On the stage, Gu Nian hugged her chest, and talked with the elder sister who came over in a low voice, “Sister, save a piece of clothing, it’s not easy for the prop set.”

The eldest sister did not move: “I am from the props team, thank you. Put your hands down.”

Gu Nian: “…”

This is a den of thieves, wooing and wooing.

Under the power, the shooting began.

In the gaps in the rock caves between the cliffs, the woman in the red skirt walked out along the rock wall while carefully turning her head and peering behind her.

Someone seems to be hiding.

Seeing the end of the stone wall, she bowed her head and turned back in relief.

As soon as the soft cloth boots were raised and not yet lowered, her relaxed expression was startled.

A few meters away in front of her, a man in a black robe stood at the end of her only way out. The hunting mountain breeze behind him made his mysterious long white hair dance lightly behind him, but that face was extremely indifferent, except for the **** eyebrows that opened so enchantingly.

Ding Qiao froze.

The man’s gloomy eyes looked at her for a few seconds, then he lowered his eyes, and the corners of his thin lips seemed to be smiling a little, but it didn’t seem to be.

“Sure enough…you still want to escape for him.”

Ding Qiao’s hand holding Shibi was slightly tense, and after a few seconds of tension, her fingertips suddenly loosened.

“Please, Yun Tan.” She muttered her voice, low, as if a bird wailing, “Wu Ya is about to die… I won’t save him, he really is going to die…”

“What’s the use if you go? Just like the previous life, trade your life for his life?”

“”

Ding Qiao did not dare to speak.

Even if she had such thoughts in her heart, she did not dare to say that Yun Tan knew. If Yun Tan heard it, she would definitely not be allowed to leave for half a step.

Ding Qiao was suffering and embarrassed, and his side breath suddenly pulled closer. She raised her eyes in a panic, and the man who was still a few meters away was holding her wrist and holding her in front of the rock wall without resistance.

In the nearest place, the indifferent face that was close to the Buddha’s nature lowered, and in the bottomless eyes there seemed to be a monster of black flames.

“Regardless of past and present, I always seem to be one step later than him. I had no choice in the last life, but this time…”

He seemed to kiss, and then slowly sniffed through the thin air. Then he raised his chin diagonally and stopped where he wanted to kiss.

The thin pair of eyelashes were pressed very low and very close, and then they trembled lightly, and there was a matte darkness between the eyelashes, deep and deep.

He hooked her eyes with a low voice. “I won’t let you go anymore.”

“…”

Gu Nian froze.

and many more.

This is not the same as the said script!

What is Ding Qiao’s name? Is it “don’t want” or “no”?

Gu Nian was almost dragged out of the play. But the director didn’t call the card, she could only bite the bullet and move on.

…

“Do you really want me to repay this way?”

In front of the stone wall, the woman in the red skirt had tears in her eyes, stubbornly looking up at the man in front of her.

The man looked at her deeply, as if to carve her figure into his eyes, but he did not speak.

“Okay,” Ding Qiao nodded and turned away with tears in her face. She gritted her teeth slightly, and yanked **** her coat with one hand, “Then I’ll pay you back!”

Thorn

The buckle on the collar jumped to the ground, and under the broken collar that was slightly shaken by the wind, a piece of white collarbone was exposed.

In front of the stone wall.

The clear back suddenly froze.

Ding Qiao’s voice trembled fiercely, her eyes flushed, and she looked at him guiltily and desperately.

“I give you what you want. Since then, we have nothing to do with each other.”

“…!”

The slender knuckles that pressed the slender wrist high against the stone wall tightened suddenly.

Those eyes slowly settled on her.

The deepest part of the gloomy pupils was like a silent and hysterical demon locked up tightly.

It opened a huge mouth of desire.

To devour her.

“”

Gu Nian’s eyes trembled, almost instinctively, her back crushed the last ray of air, and suddenly pressed against the cold stone wall.

The man froze.

After a moment, he lowered his eyes and laughed low and suddenly.

The pliers held the fingers of her wrist and slowly loosened them one by one, and moved away.

The long snow-white hair fell from the man’s shoulder.

His voice was full of laughter, but he was dumb.

“You go.”

Gu Nian suddenly recovered.

Without even thinking about it, Matsushita wiped his shoulder with his wrist, and fled to the light gap behind him.

But at the moment she was about to step into the light, her figure slowed down and finally stopped.

She pressed her fingertips on the stone wall, almost to buckle in, but finally struggled, she turned her head and looked behind her.

The man stood still in place.

He only looked at her back, his eyes hidden in the dark, desperate like a cloud covering the sky.

Gu Nian was moved.

At first it was just a movement, and then she ran over without knowing which second she could not control. She threw him against the rock wall across the long hair that was slender on the shoulders.

She was guilty and sad, staring at him with tears in her eyes.

Then the girl stood on tiptoe.

Tensed and trembling, the delicate lips flicked across his jaw.

“…Sorry.”

The girl closed her trembling eyelashes tightly and whispered.

Falling back to her heels, the red dress swayed in the air, and she turned to leave.

Just in that second.

In front of the stone wall, the man in the black robe raised his hand suddenly, and was about to hold the girl’s wrist.

“card!”

“”

The lights fell suddenly.

Return to reality.

Geng Hongyu twisted his eyebrows, stood in front of the monitor with his arms folded for a long time, and finally let go: “Come on.”

“!”

The crew returned to jubilation from the silence.

In the field.

When she heard the closing of work, Gu Nian immediately left the role. She turned her head in amazement: “Mr. Luo Xiu, your acting was very good just now. What’s the matter with Director Geng, he still doubts your acting skills?”

Luo Xiu lowered his eyes and stood in the field.

The silence is a bit weird.

Gu Nian was stunned, and was about to find out when he saw the man slowly sinking in anger.

After a second or two, Luo Xiu raised his eyes again, his eyes gentle.

“Sorry, I always play slowly.”

“No, it’s okay!” Gu Nian gave a thumbs up, Lu’s eyes opened round, and he spared no effort to affirm him, “Super!”

“Thank you.”

“Then let’s go and remove the makeup. Your long hair has a good texture,” Gu Nian said as she reached out and picked up a lock, put it in front of her nose and sniffed it, then she frowned, “Why is it more like a chemical fiber? Not very comfortable, right?”

After she finished speaking, she raised her eyes in front of him, but she saw Luo Xiu froze slightly, with eyelashes low on his eyelids.

Gu Nian held the lock of hair and gave a meal.

Realizing that he was acting inappropriately at the moment, Gu Nian quickly let go and stepped back: “Sorry, I”

“It’s ok.”

Luo Xiu interrupted her and stepped forward suddenly.

The distance that had just been extended between the two returned to the beginning.

Gu Nian was startled, puzzled.

Luo Xiu didn’t explain, just whispered: “Wait a moment, okay?”

“Ah, good.”

“…”

Luo Xiu looked to the sidelines.

A few seconds later.

The little assistant hugged Luo Xiu’s clothes and ran to the shooting area quickly. He passed the coat in his hand to Luo Xiu: “Brother Luo, do you want this?”

“Thank you.”

Luo Xiu raised his hand to take it, and the corners of his jacket drew an arc in the air and draped it on Gu Nian.

Gu Nian was at a loss: “?”

Luo Xiu didn’t say a word, he fastened his collar and hung his coat a few sizes loosely on the girl’s thin shoulders.

The broken skirt was tightly covered.

Luo Xiu lowered his hand and raised his eyes: “Okay.”

Gu Nian finally reacted. She smiled, “Mr. Luo Xiu is really a gentleman. It’s weird that he has never been in a relationship.”

“It’s instinct.”

“Ok?”

“It’s nothing, let’s remove our makeup?”

“Okay.”

“…”

The pair of figures finally disappeared in the corner of the promenade in the dressing room.

In front of the monitor, Deputy Director Lin walked over with a smile, and asked, “How about it, I said that if Gu Nian was asked to accompany him in this scene, it would be fine, right?”

Geng Hongyu sighed: “Compared to this paragraph, his previous performances are simply out of touch, not on the same level.”

“Want to change the heroine?” Deputy Director Lin asked jokingly.

Knowing that it was a joke, Geng Hongyu couldn’t help but laughed and scolded, “I am ill for the purpose of changing the male lead to the female lead?”

Deputy Director Lin shook his head with joy.

Geng Hongyu clicked on the script: “But this Gu Nian, you are familiar with her, does she consider developing in this direction?”

“In this aspect? In which aspect?” Deputy Director Lin turned his head, after meeting Geng Hongyu’s expression, he couldn’t laugh or cry, “As for her lazy temperament, do you expect her to be an actor?”

“Just ask, she has some talent for empathy.”

“Haha, you might not be able to write this script without a talent for empathy.”

“…”

When the staff in the monitoring area of ​​the director group were also scattered, Deputy Director Lin’s smile faded a little. He lowered his voice and approached Geng Hongyu.

“Director Geng, what’s wrong?”

“What’s wrong?” Geng Hongyu asked as if he had just recovered.

“I saw the effect of this scene is absolutely amazing, Luo Xiu’s shots are cut in alone, it will definitely make a big splash, but you don’t seem to be satisfied?”

“I am very satisfied with the play.”

“That is?”

Geng Hongyu hesitated.

In the past few seconds, he said uncertainly: “In the morning you said that Luo Xiu has a heart for Gu Nian, I still don’t believe it.”

Deputy Director Lin laughed: “You believe it now?”

Geng Hongyu hadn’t spoken for a long time, and finally sighed: “He last looked at that look in the play, he knows how much…”

The words are gone before they are finished.

Assistant Director Lin knew it. He joked with relief: “It is inevitable that Yun Tan is going to win the love with a sword. And the more real it is, the easier it is for the audience to enter the show. Isn’t that good?

“Real? Really, too real to cut into that positive shot.”

“how?”

Geng Hongyu said angrily: “This is the heroine and the male third. I don’t want a group of viewers to see this and be led by him.”

Deputy Director Lin laughed.

Geng Hongyu thought for a while: “I still can’t understand.”

“Don’t understand what?”

“Luo Xiu.”

“?”

“If he is really from the Luo family, you can forget about joining the group, but to Gu Nian,” Geng Hongyu frowned and asked, “What is he missing? Is he as good as he is.”

Assistant Director Lin didn’t answer directly, only laughed: “The role of Yun Tan is actually suitable for Luo Xiu.”

“Ok?”

“The more Buddha-nature this is, the more you are facing the devil,” Deputy Director Lin said softly, “the more crazy it is.”

“…”

After removing the makeup, Gu Nian and Luo Xiu walked out side by side.

Gu Nian remembered something: “Tomorrow is Father’s Day, is Mr. Luo Xiu going back to celebrate Father’s Day?”

Luo Xiu: “No need.”

Gu Nian was surprised and turned his face sideways.

Luo Xiu lowered his eyes, his voice was light: “My father doesn’t like me, it’s enough to have a younger brother with him.”

Gu Nian was stunned and stopped.

Luo Xiu noticed that, he also stopped and turned to look at her.

Gu Nian finally reacted and asked in surprise, “Mr. Luo Xiu, do you have a brother?”

“Have.”

“I don’t know… I want to have brothers and sisters the most. It feels so good!” Gu Nian looked back excitedly, “How are you and your brother?”

“We are half-parents.”

“?”

The smile on Gu Nian’s face stopped.

Standing very close, the man lowered his eyelashes, and the light from outside the promenade shot down from behind him, marking his cold white skin with fragile weakness.

The man lowered his eyes and smiled lonely.

“He didn’t like me just like his parents. Later…I endured enough of his bullying, so I escaped from home.”

Gu Nian was startled.
