Chapter 81
Chapter 81
In order to promote the movie, Xiao Ping had to appear in a variety show recently.
He actually doesn't like variety shows very much, the interviews are barely passable, and the interactive ones are too embarrassing for him.When he was young, his personality was more introverted, and there was an older brother in his family who was very capable in doing things, and he was very bad at communicating with people.
But Liu Pian's words hit the nail on the head, she said: "You are not popular enough, it is nothing more than a good opening, which attracted the attention of several directors, but they are not enough to throw an olive branch to you alone."
Maybe it's because he's not very old and his attitude is always open-minded. She reasoned in detail and patiently: "I won't force you to shoot commercials for marketing, but it's good for you to be on the show to promote movies. Wait until you have enough money." box office appeal, so you don’t have to do things you don’t like. I also hope that one day, there are not a few geniuses in the entertainment industry who have made a good start in the past few years but have been unable to gain a foothold. Most of them lose because of their mentality. superior."
He understood it, and thought it made sense. It must be said that he was lucky to be able to get Liu Pian's manager.
He decided to go on the show obediently, with only one request.
"Sister Liu," Xiao Ping asked cautiously, "Can you call Brother Lei for me and ask him to watch my live broadcast at [-]:[-] pm? It's fine if he works overtime, but I want to tell him."
Liu Pian was taken aback for a moment, then raised her eyebrows in doubt.This request was not too much, but she didn't know why Xiao Ping didn't tell Lei Fuchao himself.
Xiao Ping immediately explained: "If Brother Lei is watching my live broadcast, I will definitely perform well and not be too nervous. But if I tell him, and he answers that I have to work overtime, I will know that he gone..."
Oh, when he said that, Liu Pian suddenly realized: Xiao Ping was planning to persuade himself to pretend that Lei Fuchao was watching, and accompany him on the TV, whether Lei Fuchao was watching or not.
If she calls and inquires about Lei Fuchao, and does not tell Xiao Ping whether Lei Fuchao is watching or not, Xiao Ping will not know the result, and can just think that Lei Fuchao is definitely watching.
As expected, the two of them were secretly dating, Liu Pian sighed shortly.
"Okay." After sighing, she patted Xiao Ping's shoulder and agreed, "I'll do it."
So Xiao Ping tried his best to clean up his mood, took deep breaths repeatedly for 10 minutes in the background, closed his eyes and turned his mind, and went on stage.
However, the development of things still exceeded his expectations.
As soon as he stood still on the stage, he saw with sharp eyes that Liu Pian was supposed to be sitting in the front row of the auditorium, but now Lei Fuchao was sitting.
He hastily looked again, and it was indeed Lei Fuchao.What's more, it was suit pants, a white shirt, and the sleeves were rolled up. It was obvious that Lei Fuchao had just been driven out of the company in a hurry. Although it was a bit hot, he didn't even have time to change his clothes.
Xiao Ping almost froze.
Lei Fuchao was calm and relaxed, only smiled slightly, and blew him a kiss with the hand that used to hold the cigarette, acting like an ordinary fan.
Therefore, in the first half of the show, what Xiao Ping did and said was a bit cloudy, and he couldn't tell the slightest attention to be nervous.He didn't get nervous again until the host reminded him to sing when the stage was halfway out.
He wasn't the only guest who sang tonight, most of them were actors. The audience didn't have high requirements for the singing skills of the guests, they were just having fun.Many actors who don't release albums also sing occasionally when they participate in variety shows, and fans buy it very much.
But Xiao Ping had never sung publicly before.
Liu Pian politely asked him if he wanted to change this half of the song into another talent show, but he refused, because Lei Fuchao likes music, and he has always wanted to sing a song for Lei Fuchao. But I was embarrassed to sing suddenly, this might be a good opportunity.
He had already made up his mind to take the opportunity to sing for Lei Fuchao here, no matter whether Lei Fuchao couldn't even watch the replay.
Anyway, he sang, he was so nervous that he didn’t hold the microphone with one hand, but held the microphone tightly with both hands—in case one hand was nowhere to be placed—the gesture was almost clasped, and he sang: “If I didn’t meet you, I would Where will it be, how is life going, whether life should be cherished..."
With the melody together, Lei Fuchao must have immediately heard that what he wanted to sing was just a matter between them, so he adjusted his sitting posture a little, straightened his back, and looked at him more intently.
He was also watching Lei Fuchao, and continued: "Maybe I know someone, live an ordinary life, I don't know if it will be, but life is as sweet as honey...", while walking towards the edge of the stage unintentionally .
The manager's seat tickets are usually in the first two rows, and now Lei Fuchao is sitting in the first row. Although the position is not in the center, it is not too remote, allowing him to get as close to Lei Fuchao as possible.
As they got closer and closer, Xiao Ping suddenly noticed something new and wrong.
He noticed that Lei Fuchao's mouth was moving, there was no mobile phone in his ear, and no one opened his mouth on the left or right, so he wasn't talking to anyone.
After carefully distinguishing it several times, he gradually recognized from the change of his mouth shape that Lei Fuchao was singing to him silently. For some reason, his heart suddenly beat wildly, and his face felt a little hot.
The lyrics are just right: "Let time go by in a hurry, I only care about you, and I am willing to infect your breath. How is life? It is not a pity to lose the power of life if you can gain a confidant..."
When the last word of this passage was exhausted, Lei Fuchao burst out laughing and winked at him.
Xiao Ping's heart beat faster.
The whole audience thought that he was singing alone, but he was not.
At least for this chorus, he is singing a duet with Lei Fuchao, he only has Lei Fuchao in his eyes, and Lei Fuchao only has him in his eyes; The smile also opened up, and the bigger the smile, the bigger the smile.
Those who should have heard it have already heard it, even if the song actually failed, since Lei Fuchao was happy to hear it, Xiao Ping didn't mind it at all.
With such a mood in mind, in the second half of the show, Xiao Ping was refreshed and energetic, and performed surprisingly well.
·
On the weekend of the same week, a friend of Lei Fuchao settled down to develop in S City, and made an appointment with Lei Fuchao for a welcome meal, and Xiao Ping also went with him.
This friend was not very familiar with Lei Fuchao at that time. The two seemed to have only met at a rock music festival, and since then they have been chatting online intermittently, and they hit it off.In a short period of time, the other party was unfamiliar with the place of life in S City, so Lei Fuchao picked him up from the plane, and chatted about the situation in S City during the dinner.
This was the first time Xiao Ping saw Yan Bai.
From the moment the plane landed, the atmosphere and rhythm of the chat have been controlled by Lei Fuchao, so during the meal, when Lei Fuchao went to the bathroom, Xiao Ping, who insisted on sticking, and the dusty Yan Baida Eyes wide open, both fell into silence.
In the end, it was Yan Bai who opened up the conversation first.
"Lei Fuchao always praises you everywhere." Yan Bai said that.
Xiao Ping was aroused a little curiosity when he heard the words, and relaxed a little, asking: "Ah? Really?"
Yan Bai nodded vigorously, as if this would make his words more convincing: "He also recommended your movies to me, one after the other, saying that you are a genius who strives for excellence. I watched a few of them, But there is makeup in the movie, right? I didn't expect you to be so young."
Without waiting for Xiao Ping to express his embarrassment, Yan Bai slapped his thigh, and then said: "I also brought you a gift, a Cartier watch."
Cartier is a brand name, and this is almost the rhythm of treating him as Lei Fuchao's younger brother.
Of course, Xiao Ping knew very well that Yan Bai had never even met him in the past, and his tone didn't sound like a fan, so the biggest reason why Yan Bai treated him well as soon as he came up could only be that Lei Fuchao It gave Yan Bai the feeling that "Xiao Ping is very important".
Not only Yan Bai, but also Qian Chunfeng who came to Lei Fuchao's house to take care of him last year, all these Lei Fuchao's friends are not just like "friends of friends" to him.
And Yan Bai is also very cunning, if he doesn't give Lei Fuchao a gift in front of him, probably he doesn't want Lei Fuchao to repay the favor, so it's not trying to curry favor with Lei Fuchao.
Xiao Ping confiscated the watch, thanked Yan Bai politely, and said "heart collar", but he immediately relaxed all over Yan Bai, and he didn't feel too timid.
It is obvious, no matter whether it is because Lei Fuchao is righteous and helped him solve most of the troubles he faced in the early stage of coming to S City, in short, Yan Bai has shown that he likes Lei Fuchao very much since then , regretfully put away the watch and said: "But you guys are a little different from what I imagined."
"Huh?" Xiao Ping didn't know which aspect he was talking about was different from what he imagined.
Yan Bai held his chin and pondered for a moment: "Uh... How should I put it, including the last time we met at the music festival, Lei Fuchao didn't give me the same feeling..."
He spoke hesitatingly, thinking hard, before he finished speaking, Lei Fuchao had already returned.
As soon as he sat down, Lei Fuchao habitually tilted his body at Xiao Ping, and Xiao Ping also habitually fed him a shrimp that he had just peeled.
"It's all for you!" Xiao Ping smugly showed Lei Fuchao the shelled shrimps piled up half a hill on his plate, which made Lei Fuchao's heart burst into joy, his eyes brightened, and he felt a sense of accomplishment immediately.
Although it was a pity that Lei Fuchao didn't listen to him and didn't eat all the shrimps.
If he didn't eat, Xiao Ping felt disappointed.
Then Xiao Ping turned his eyes and saw Yan Bai who was sitting across from him with a speechless face, his heart was filled with happiness, and he suddenly understood what Yan Bai wanted to say.
That's right, Xiao Ping remembers that when he first met Lei Fuchao, Lei Fuchao was not as coquettish and willing to be fed as he is now, and at first glance he looked very independent and upright.
Thinking of this, Xiao Ping smiled dumbly, and the sense of accomplishment in his heart exploded again.
·
Lei Fuchao took the time to visit Xiao Ping's class once.
Unfortunately, when he went, Xiao Ping looked gloomy.He even asked the reason several times, but Xiao Ping shook his head and refused to say.
Just like his stubbornness, this is Xiao Ping's little problem.Xiao Ping was often afraid of causing trouble to others, even if Lei Fuchao had already found something wrong and asked questions proactively, he would not say anything.
In fact, it took some time that day, and Lei Fuchao was able to figure out the whole story from the mouths of other young actors in the same crew, but he pretended not to know, and after that, he took a car to the film and television city every weekend.
The film and television city is not in City S, and the one-way train takes ten hours. Within two weeks, Xiao Ping regretted it. Seeing that he had not had a good rest recently, and his eyes were bloodshot, Xiao Ping immediately admitted his mistake obediently, explaining: "Wu Zhi gave me Wear small shoes."
That's right, the answer that Lei Fuchao had inquired about before was similar.
A while ago, Xiao Ping saw that the martial arts instructor had a few badly choreographed moves, which made the other actor in the scene extremely vulnerable to unnecessary injuries. He couldn't stand it and pointed it out. Finger, has been secretly run by Wu Zhi for a long time.
No matter how tactful Xiao Ping's suggestion was, no matter how tricky the replacement was, if it was changed, at least there was a flaw, and Wu Zhi was very unhappy.
Lei Fuchao heard that he sat on Xiao Ping's chair and smoked two cigarettes, patted Xiao Ping on the shoulder, and asked, "Is there a middleman in your crew who always likes to introduce extras? Find him and I'll give you revenge."
Xiao Ping was confused.Although he was at a loss, he quickly set off to look for him without saying a word.He has a kind of blind faith in Lei Fuchao at this time, and he can feel it himself.
Almost every film and television city has a group of intermediaries stationed there, introducing some extras, extras, and corpse-level cannon fodder actors to the crew, so that the two can connect.This type of people is characterized by being slick, having certain connections, and being able to talk. Even if they can't reach the friendship level of a movie director, they can at least speak a few words, and they are capable of teaching and learning. No one can say that they can do it What came out.
Xiao Ping also said that the director is the kind of director who will change the action after listening to the suggestion and knowing that the action design is unreasonable, and things will be easy to handle.
The name of the middleman Xiao Ping found was Liu Yingjie, and the many low-flying actors around the film and television city, no matter whether they had taken plays from him or not, all called him Brother Jie, which seemed to be very satisfying.Lei Fuchao was quite satisfied with this, took Liu Yingjie to have a meal, and muttered for a long time, Xiao Ping looked dazed and didn't know what the hell they were doing.
What made Xiao Ping even more dazed was that at noon it was still Lei Fuchao who invited Liu Yingjie to dinner, but in the evening it was Liu Yingjie who invited the two of them to dinner with an eager attitude.
Xiao Ping:?
Xiao Ping really doesn't understand social people.
At the banquet, Liu Yingjie even winked at him and said, "Your brother is very ruthless."
Xiao Ping turned his head to look at Lei Fuchao, Lei Fuchao didn't explain to him, but just replied: "I'm not his brother, but a friend."
It is not strange that people in their twenties are friends with people in their early thirties, but it is inexplicably a little unusual for people in their twenties to be friends with people who are already working in their twenties.Liu Yingjie didn't make any subtle associations, but his face was also puzzled for a while, but he didn't pursue the question after all, and cleverly kicked the topic back to Lei Fuchao, and chatted about other things.
Lei Fuchao lived in Xiao Ping's room all the time when he visited the class. On the way back to the hotel, Lei Fuchao was pestered by Xiao Ping to ask questions along the way.
Xiao speculated with tricks: "You asked Liu Yingjie to wear small shoes for Wu Zhi? Did you ask Liu Yingjie to collect protection money?"
Lei Fuchao smiled and said nothing.
Xiao Ping continued to speculate: "You let Liu Yingjie send people to make trouble and not cooperate with Wu Zhi?"
Lei Fuchao remained silent.
Xiao Ping was very reconciled, as if he was determined to know, he jumped up and down by his shoulders: "Tell me a little bit, Brother Lei!" He was really curious, especially Liu Yingjie's "really ruthless".
Lei Fuchao couldn't laugh or cry when he heard it, he didn't let go anyway, he just stretched out his hand and poked Xiao Ping's forehead, and told him: "Just wait and see, I won't tell you because Liu Yingjie may not be able to do things well, now I can't boast."
As a result, Liu Yingjie handled things beautifully.
Xiao Ping knew what was going on the next day.
The director knew that he was a serious trainer, and called him over to help the next day—the reason was that Liu Yingjie felt that the action design of their crew was too bad, so he brought a new set of smoother action design, and criticized it The current Wuzhi is actually a guy trying to gain fame, and even he, a middleman who doesn't want to offend anyone, can't stand it anymore.
The director flipped through the action to show the storyboard, and felt that Liu Yingjie's idea was indeed good, and it was basically based on the premise that the existing characters' armaments were not changed, so that those who use their legs should still use their legs, and those who fight head-on will still fight head-on , several representative moves have only been fine-tuned in some places, and the elegance and visibility seem to have been visibly improved by the naked eye.
The only question now is whether the actual effect is so good, so Xiao Ping and the heroine who also practiced both hands were called to demonstrate the effect.
As if reading a cheat book to learn the movements, the heroine's expression was serious, and she started making gestures in slow motion every minute. Xiao Ping was the only one left holding the sketch covered in Lei Fuchao's handwriting to "shock my mother" for a long time. meeting.
In the lower right corner of the paper, there is also a small smiling face that is too pompous.
He had never heard of Lei Fuchao's ability in this area.
He lowered his head and held the sketch to eavesdrop. Xiao Ping heard Liu Yingjie's tone and suggested to the director in a very natural way: "Director Han, after all, the previous actions have been filmed and used. Even if they need to be changed later, they will be included in the martial arts list when the movie is released. , and put me behind the name of the current Wu Zhi!"
He still looked cheerful.
The director praised Liu Yingjie for knowing how to be a human being, and nodded in response: "Anyway, this version will be launched later, and the money will not be less for you. I will arrange for him to leave."
"..." Xiao Ping was dumbfounded.
It's really tough.
Directly forcing people to pack up and leave?
And no wonder Liu Yingjie was so happy, this deal was quite a bargain, no doubt Lei Fuchao didn't intend to take away the wages.
After finally dismissing the director absent-mindedly, Xiao Ping immediately turned around and ran to the rest area.Lei Fuchao hadn't left yet, and was sitting in his chair drinking soda again, with a lazy expression on his face.
"Brother Lei!" Xiao Ping started running all the way, ran close and hugged him, "So powerful? How can you know everything?"
Dazed to laugh at Lei Fuchao.
"That's right," Lei Fuchao simply boasted without shame, "Praise me, praise me" all over his eyes, his expression was particularly flattering and arrogant, "I can do everything, that's why I'm a monster."
Success came to Xiao Ping's whole morning sea blowing, and a funny Weibo post on the train home.
@肖纯: "[] Brother Lei is very handsome! At this moment, I decided to start jealous of his prospective girlfriend in advance!"
Yes, Lei Fuchao gave him a thumbs up.
Although it was too exaggerated, even jealous of his future lover, but Lei Fuchao was quite proud and very useful.
