Dust is like a city

Chapter 136 Pressure

Chen Qianchen received a call from Xie Xia the next morning. Xie Xia came to tell him that the movie he asked her to check was really available at this film festival, and according to the internal information Xie Xia got, Yu Yang Like Chen Qianchen, he is indeed one of the candidates for the best newcomer actor.

Chen Qianchen was naturally not surprised to get this answer, this was what he had expected.

"So...is it really your former colleague who spread unfavorable news for the sake of the award?" Xie Xia pondered on the other end of the phone.

Chen Qianchen shook his head: "Who knows..."

"Indeed, unfavorable gossip will have some impact on the film review, and the impact is not small. It is very likely that you will miss this newcomer award." Xie Xia thought for a while and then said, "How do you plan to deal with it?"

"I'm still thinking about it. The news this time is actually not very popular. If we specifically clarify it, there will be no silver 300 taels here, but...if we ignore it, it may indeed have a certain impact on the awards, so...still Let's wait and see first, anyway, wait until the premiere ceremony is over to see how the movie's overall response is." Chen Qianchen replied.

Xie Xia smiled: "You are thinking about the problem quite comprehensively now."

Chen Qianchen didn't answer, but just smiled wryly in his heart. Most of the growth of a person is always accompanied by some not-so-good realities.

"Okay, then do as you said, the time for the premiere ceremony has been set, you should be walking the red carpet this time, you have to ask the company to make arrangements, and I will coordinate with Director Zheng again, oh... ...This time, there are really many things. Fortunately, Director Zheng is an open-minded director. If you change to other directors, you should really say that you are playing big cards." Xie Xia said.

Xie Xia is right, this time filming "Longsheng", the three-day and two-day leave is really too much, before when he was a supporting role, he never asked for leave from the crew so frequently, this time as the absolute leading role, It really shouldn't be, so although the place where my father beat me yesterday still hurt a little, Chen Qianchen still said: "Sister Xia, please tell the crew, I will go there in the afternoon and resume work. Of course, you don't have to accommodate me." As for the time, today’s filming is arranged as it is, and I will discuss with Director Zheng about the re-shooting shots after everyone’s scenes are over.”

"Huh? Didn't you go home? Back to City A today?" Xie Xia asked suspiciously.

Chen Qianchen smiled helplessly: "Well... there is something wrong, I came back early last night."

"...Really?" Xie Xia could hear the disappointment in Chen Qianchen's tone, so she didn't ask any more questions, "Okay, then I'll ask Xiao Mian to come pick you up, what time would be more convenient?"

"What time is fine, I don't care." Chen Qianchen replied, "By the way, I'm in the dormitory, just ask Xiao Mian to come pick me up from the dormitory."

"Why are you here...?" Xie Xia almost blurted out.

Chen Qianchen's smile became more and more bitter: "The chairman is back."

The old chairman of the Huo Corporation is back. This must be big news in City A. In a few days, most of the celebrities in City A will know about it, let alone those under the Huo Corporation, so Chen Qianchen also feels that he is not hiding it. The need, tell the truth.Even if you hear this kind of thing from others, you probably think too much about it, right?But so what?From a certain point of view, it is also a fact.

Even if they seem to be lovers, in everyone's eyes, Chen Qianchen will always be Huo Rongxuan's lover, right?

The kind that can be brought out on the stage, but can't get in the door.

Sure enough, Xie Xia was silent on the other end of the phone, and it took a while before she said: "Okay, then I will contact the crew first, but... don't work too hard, take your time, Director Zheng is not the kind People who pursue efficiency, by the way, didn’t Mr. Huo say a while ago that he would hire you a third assistant? Come to the company to look at your resume when you are free, and choose for yourself.”

"Ah...really? We don't need so many people." Chen Qianchen still shook his head.

"...This is what Mr. Huo meant..." Xie Xia said.

Chen Qianchen lowered his eyelashes and sighed softly: "Then I'll talk to him later."

"Okay, that's it for now."

After hanging up the phone call with Xie Xia, Chen Qianchen pressed his finger on his temple. It is now 09:30 in the morning, and since last night, Huo Rongxuan has not even sent a message, let alone a phone call.

After thinking about it for a while, Chen Qianchen finally sent a message first: "I'm going to work on the set today. 』

After posting, he stared at the phone screen for a while, and saw that the screen turned from bright to dark, then he silently put away the phone, cleaned up the house again, took out all the garbage that should be taken out, changed his clothes, and waited for Yuan Xiao Come here.

It was like this for a whole day, from Chen Qianchen to the set until the end of shooting a few extra scenes at night, he never received a reply from Huo Rongxuan.

He didn't expect to receive a call from his sister.

At that time, it was almost ten o'clock in the evening. When Chen Qianchen had changed his clothes in the locker room and went out with his coat on, his cell phone rang. When he saw that the caller ID was the eldest sister, he immediately picked it up.

"Hello?" Chen Qianchen asked in a low voice, putting his hands next to his ears in the cold weather.

"Hey, Qianchen... have you arrived in City A?" My sister's voice seemed a little tired.

"Well, I arrived last night. Sorry, I didn't report to you. I was too tired yesterday, so I forgot." Chen Qianchen handed some things in his hand to Yuan Xiaomian, and he quickened his pace and walked in front to talk on the phone. .

"It's good when you arrive, sister just called you twice and you didn't answer, you're still worried..."

Chen Qianchen was slightly sad. No matter how stiff he was and the situation at home, his sister's heart was always on his side, or she never really blamed him. Even Chen Qianchen knew what his father said, that he was gay. The news of this news spread out will have a great impact in my hometown, and it might really affect my sister's marriage. Thinking of this, Chen Qianchen felt a little uncomfortable, so he forced a smile: "I'm sorry, I'm at work and I'm so busy. By the way, Mom feel better now?"

"Uh..." Chen Mengchen said after a moment of silence, "It's better, it's just..."

"What's wrong?" Chen Qianchen frowned.

Chen Mengchen sighed: "I don't know where those people heard the news that you have returned to City C, but there are many people who come to your house and say they want to see you... Obviously some of them don't have a good relationship with our family , and ran to see Mom, inquiring left and right... You said these people, why are they like this..."

Chen Qianchen's footsteps stopped, unable to speak a word.

Of course, Chen Qianchen himself didn't know why everyone knew that he had returned to City C. In fact, the girl he met at the airport that day posted a picture that was reposted by many people. Only then did everyone know his whereabouts, but of course these were not The point, the point is that he knows that his family has added a lot of trouble because of his own reasons.

"Qianchen, about your matter... Sister, I don't know what to say about you... so I won't talk about it, but..." Chen Mengchen has never been very talkative, he hesitated for a while and said, "Even if it is It’s a lie, can’t you clarify it to everyone? At least my parents can speak tougher in the neighborhood..."

Chen Qianchen didn't say anything, it's not something he can clarify now if he wants to, but...

"Qianchen? Qianchen, are you listening?" Because there was no response for a while, Chen Mengchen called out twice tentatively.

Chen Qianchen said softly: "I know, I will think about it carefully."

"Hmm... well, are you busy with work? My sister won't bother you anymore... you... take care of yourself." Chen Mengchen said.

"Well, you should go to bed early." Chen Qianchen responded softly, and then hung up the phone.

He put his hands in his pockets and looked up at the dark night sky for a while. There was no light in the night tonight, and he felt very depressed. He knew Yuan Xiaomian had been following him, so he didn't look back, just asked : "Xiao Mian, did you say it will snow tonight?"

"Uh... no, the weather forecast didn't say so. It should snow until December?" Yuan Xiaomian replied in a daze.

Chen Qianchen smiled lightly: "...Really? It's quite cold..."

"Brother Qianchen, you don't wear too much, hey, don't stand here, go to the car."

"En." Chen Qianchen nodded, but there was a look of worry in his eyes.

From Luo Chen to his sister, everyone told him that, even though it's not the time to clarify this kind of thing, but... for the sake of the family... maybe it should be done.

For the opening ceremony of the Baeksang Film Festival, Chen Qianchen ran around the set and the crew recently, and started a busy life again, and Huo Rongxuan still hasn't contacted him in the past two or three days, although he is a little disappointed in his heart, but now Even in the busy situation, Chen Qianchen couldn't help thinking about it. Whether it was work or family, he could handle it enough. As for the Huo family, it would be better if he didn't have anything to do with it.

"Are you nervous?" Because the red carpet part of the opening ceremony is a very important occasion, Xie Xia also accompanied Chen Qianchen this time.

Chen Qianchen was wearing a well-tailored suit with that single earring, which seemed a little bit uninhibited in his stern color, and he had lost a lot of weight recently, which made him feel a little amazing.

He shook his head slightly, then turned to Yuan Xiaomian and asked, "Is the makeup okay?"

"No problem, this makeup looks good." Yuan Xiaomian gestured "OK" to Chen Qianchen.

Xie Xia said on the side: "You have worked too hard these two days. Others probably pushed back the latest announcements for such an occasion, but you have filmed dozens of scenes in a row, and it is thanks to you."

Chen Qianchen smiled helplessly: "Isn't that what you said, Miss Xia? If you continue like this, you're playing big cards, and the film investor is after all... No matter what, I don't want to delay the progress too much..."

They knew that Chen Qianchen was talking about Huang Danzhuo. Although Huang Danzhuo didn't deliberately make things difficult for Chen Qianchen, the speed of the crew's capital injection was much slower. It can be seen that it was intentional. He is not a soft eater, so he naturally has his own way, and he can slowly suspend the crew without withdrawing the capital.

So when Chen Qianchen said this, Xie Xia didn't have much to say, and she also knew that Chen Qianchen had been so devoted to work recently, apart from the two reasons of the film festival and Huang Danzhuo, it was probably related to the Huo family, and they were all around Chen Qianchen. People close to him knew that although he didn't show much, he was in a bad mood these two days, so Xie Xia quickly brought up the topic: "Okay, okay, today is not only makeup, but also good-looking clothes, right? , Xiao Mian?"

"That's right, the clothes are the handmade suits specially customized by our company in Italy before. They are exquisite, just for this kind of big occasion. I guess we, Brother Qianchen, are definitely at the top of the fashion circle in the whole scene today. His The partner will definitely be compared." Yuan Xiaomian said proudly.

"Partner?" Chen Qianchen raised his head curiously when he heard this topic, "What partner?"

"Uh..." Yuan Xiaomian was startled and looked at Xie Xia.

Xie Xia helped her forehead, and said in a bit of embarrassment: "I forgot to tell you... Originally, you and the leading actors walked together, but... You also know about the red carpet. There can't be so many people, so you guys The crew was divided into twos and entered together, you and... well, Ke Yinian."
