Chapter 24
24. Everywhere in life is a performance scene
The gates of the miniature town on the filming set are tightly closed, and there are special personnel guarding them, and strict inspections will be carried out when entering and exiting.
So Liu Jun followed Cheng Guosheng only to the door.
Qiu Wei and Jiang Lai were on vacation today. Liu Jun went to Cheng Guosheng's residence early in the morning and came to Cheng Guosheng on the grounds that he apologized to Cheng Guosheng on behalf of his subordinates. He brought a gift box of cigarettes and alcohol, and his attitude was sincere.
Before going, Jiang Lai also said that when Liu Jun didn't sleep well, his eyes were dull. As long as he spoke in shorter words, he didn't need to act at all, and he seemed to have a sense of middle-aged decadence.
Liu Jun went out without sunglasses.
It’s not that he didn’t sleep well. There is one more person around these few days. Maybe the temperature of the bed is a lot more comfortable. His sleep quality has improved a lot. It’s just that the people around him talked in sleep the night before. Liu Jun was too busy listening and forgot to sleep. .
As for middle-aged decadence?
He didn't care about it before, but now that Jiang Lai and Qiu Wei make jokes about their age from time to time, Liu Jun will feel uncomfortable, but the work must continue.
Cheng Guosheng didn't say much, but politely refused, with a simple and honest smile on his face, and he would only answer: It's all right.
Liu Jun repeated his apology three times, and then said, "You're busy, I won't bother you."
He was about to leave in a hurry before sitting down. The purpose of Liu Jun's trip was not only to show his middle-aged decadence, but also to take out his mobile phone and turn on the video when he went out. The camera installed at the entrance of Cheng Guosheng's house Li observed the expression he wanted.
Later, in the downstairs of Cheng Guosheng's house, according to the plan, there will be another chance encounter, leading Cheng Guosheng to the unfinished building behind.
It's just that he couldn't keep up with the changes. Not long after Liu Juncai went downstairs, he saw Cheng Guosheng also come down, and followed all the way to the filming location.
Liu Jun's call to Ji Fanyun was not picked up until the second call.
"I was looking for you..." Ji Fanyun lowered his voice, panting a little.
Liu Jun immediately said, "I'm outside."
"Outside?" Ji Fanyun asked, "Outside the set?"
"Yes, I saw Cheng Guosheng go in." Liu Jun was calm on the contrary, and said to Ji Fanyun, "It's okay, don't be nervous."
Ji Fanyun's voice seemed to pause even for a breath, and it took a while for Liu Jun to hear him answer "OK".
After Ji Fanyun hung up the phone, not long after, the door of the studio opened, and Xu Xiaolai came out.
Xu Xiao walked towards Liu Jun suspiciously, and asked, "Your brother said you were looking for me?"
Liu Jun's text message also vibrated at the same time, and Ji Fanyun sent a text message: Your suspect has been hired to drive the crew!Or the RV of the main cast!
Here Xu Xiao asked: "What do you want from me?"
The second text message came: I can't let Xu Xiao be alone with him, you can just make up a reason and let Xu Xiao bring you in.
The third text message: I can't think of a reason for a while.
The fourth text message: Come quickly, I am nervous.
Liu Jun didn't see the next few text messages, and didn't even explain to Xu Xiao.
The pace was fast, and while calling back Ji Fanyun's phone, he pointed to the inside of the studio and said to Xu Xiao: "Take me in to see Ji Fanyun."
It may be that at this moment, Liu Jun's sense of middle-aged depression has disappeared, replaced by the awakening of the sleeping lion, Xu Xiao froze and chased after him with two "ohhh", the guard didn't stop him.
"Is there no one else around?" Liu Jun said immediately after the call was connected.
"Ah, what, what are you talking about, I can't hear clearly..." Ji Fanyun was talking, and walked out of the car with his hands on his phone.
Unlike Liu Jun who thought Ji Fanyun was nervous, Ji Fanyun had a natural expression and a slight smile, hung up the phone and waved slightly to Liu Jun.
There is a large area of green cloth around the studio, there are traffic light intersections as decent sets, and there are also replicas of ancient houses and small buildings, in a condensed miniature town.
Ji Fanyun ran close, and Liu Jun hurried over.
It wasn't until the two stood face to face that Liu Jun saw Ji Fanyun let out a sigh of relief, and then realized that laughter is acting, and nervousness is real.
Ji Fanyun said to Liu Jun in a low voice: "I guess I was thinking too much. The crew would have hired a local to pick them up. It's just that yesterday, a big brother broke his leg while drinking after get off work, and then introduced him to replace him."
Liu Jun nodded, because Xu Xiao followed, and they didn't talk much.
Ji Fanyun quickly put on a social smile, turned to Xu Xiao and said, "Mr. Liu wants us to introduce Brother Bao to him."
Xu Xiao frowned even deeper.
Liu Jun received the signal without even meeting Ji Fanyun's eyes, and said with a low profile: "I heard that he has a lot of connections, and I haven't been able to find a chance to meet him."
In fact, I don't know who is who.
Ji Fanyun continued: "I don't even want to talk about it. Mr. Liu is the one delivering breakfast. I thought he was a movie fan. It turns out he has other plans. It's too embarrassing."
The essence of embarrassment Ji Fanyun acted very well, looked at Liu Jun and put it aside as if resisting.
Pulling Xu Xiao away, he said in a disgusted tone: "His purpose is to enter the set and let him walk around by himself. Whether he can meet Brother Bao depends on his luck, and I will pay him back his breakfast."
Xu Xiao said: "What was the murderous look doing just now? I thought you did something to him."
Ji Fanyun vaguely agreed, and dragged Xu Xiao back to the KTV booth.
Liu Jun saw Cheng Guosheng stuck his head out of a car, and nodded to each other in greeting.
He didn't go there, turned around and walked in the direction where Ji Fanyun had just left, looking down at the text messages on his phone.
Ji Fanyun: What is his murder target?
Ji Fanyun: Someone who shows that life is not going well in front of him?
Ji Fanyun: Maybe I'm thinking too much...
Ji Fanyun: His target is not me, but Xu Xiao.
The time is the morning of the third day in the movie, at KTV.
Meng Lian's unwashed braided hairstyle was too ostentatious, and he was too hot, so he didn't put on his hat while he was pulling it in his hand, so he was recognized right after he walked out of the private room.
The person who recognized Meng Lian was one of Zhou Ziyin's younger brothers guarding the pier. He didn't suspect it at first, but felt that the back of his head looked familiar, so he called Meng Lian, and while walking closer, he said, "Brother, you have a nice hairstyle. "
Meng Lian was nervous, he was just a young man who was arrogant but could not accomplish anything, when he saw who was coming from the glass of the revolving door opposite, he ran away without even daring to turn his head.
After this run, pursuers poured in from all directions, Meng Lian couldn't get out through the gate, so he could only flee in all directions.
In Ji Fanyun's time, this run lasted the whole morning, the camera swayed with the colorful lights, and the shooting method of one shot to the end showed a sense of urgency.
Meng Lian managed to escape because he hid in a private room, an embarrassing scene after the incident.
There was only a bunch of red spotlights left in the private room, and a young girl in messy clothes was lying on the sofa. The girl looked haggard, and there were residues hanging on the parts of her lower body that were not covered by the cloth.
With her eyes closed, she didn't see who came in, so she shouted: "Get out!"
Through the small window on the door, Meng Lian saw that people outside had been banging on the door one by one to check in, but couldn't get out. In a panic, he took off his shirt directly, covering his hair with the clothes, and pressed on the person who was already there. On a girl with little strength.
The girl didn't struggle, but howled in despair. Meng Lian covered her mouth tightly, and after hearing the sound of the door banging in, he shouted, "Get lost."
The director yelled "cut", and Ji Fanyun immediately rolled over, panting and apologizing to the people on the sofa.
"It's okay, go wash your hands quickly, you've touched my snot." A second ago, he was still crying bitterly, his voice was still a little choked up, but his state could return to normal with the sound of "cut", and he sat up Shout out to the director, "Brother Hao, you old lady is being unkind, I arranged such a big intensity in my first scene!"
Hao Luo said: "Every scene of yours is very intense."
Jing Wenwen is Hao Luo's queen, although Hao Luo has only filmed two movies.
Jing Wenwen and Ji Fanyun acted as siblings in "The Old Man Lost the Horse" directed by Hao Luo. This time, their roles in "The Oriole Behind" are the "Mantis" and "The Oriole", who are both enemies and friends.
This scene was the beginning of their acquaintance. The accompanying lady, Si Xue, made a deal with a considerable amount of money. Meng Lian saw her in a panic, and then proposed a completely absurd deal.
Meng Lian stammered and told Si Xue: "Help me out, you'll pay for me."
"I am responsible to you."
Then swallowed, not daring to look at the girl, Meng Lian stood up, then bumped into the corner of the table, hugged his calf, tripped over the microphone on the ground and fell on his back.
Si Xue couldn't help laughing, it was the kind of laughter that suddenly came out of crying.
The effect that Hao Luo wants is a desolate comedy, and the torment is that these few actors must grasp the transition between the sad and the funny.
After Ji Fanyun got off the show, he still told Hao Luo, "It's not enough comedy."
But Hao Luo only patted Ji Fanyun on the shoulder and said something affirmative, and then asked him to take a nap in the lounge, which was more comfortable than in the RV.
Xu Xiao rushed over and wiped Ji Fanyun's hands with a wet tissue. In fact, Ji Fanyun was not very satisfied with the shooting this morning. He thought there was too much urgency.
This sense of urgency makes him tense even if he is not in front of the camera now.
After walking out of the studio door, Xu Xiao bumped Ji Fanyun's arm slightly, glanced at him and said, "I've been staring at that Mr. Liu all morning, what's going on, how did you get involved with him? Why do you want to eat a stranger? breakfast?"
Seeing Liu Jun standing outside the studio, with the midday sun shining on his half body, Ji Fanyun was in a daze for a moment, and blurted out: "Come in, isn't it very hot?"
Liu Jun was looking down at his phone. He might be on a call with earphones on, but he didn't hear Ji Fanyun calling him.
"Liu..." Ji Fanyun spat out the word "Liu Jun", lacking confidence, and his voice was very low.
Later, Xu Xiao still called "Mr. Liu", but Xu Xiao kept his eyes on Ji Fanyun, and seemed to be able to sense that something was wrong with Ji Fanyun.
Ji Fanyun didn't realize that he was being observed. Seeing Liu Jun turning his head, he approached quickly without making a sound, and only asked with his eyes: What's the matter?
Liu Jun first nodded his greetings with Xu Xiao, and then walked towards Ji Fanyun.
When they stood facing each other, Ji Fanyun pretended to say, "Why hasn't Mr. Liu left yet?"
"Things haven't been settled yet." Liu Jun said, "Are you free? I don't know if it's convenient for Fang to say a few words."
After Liu Jun finished speaking, he looked at Xu Xiao, as if asking for Xu Xiao's approval.
Normally, Xu Xiao should strictly protect her younger brother's contact with strangers, but now she didn't. She said, "I'll get you food."
Seeing Xu Xiao leaving, Ji Fanyun wanted to follow, worried that she was alone, but also curious about what Liu Jun hadn't finished yet.
"Don't worry about Xu Xiao's safety now, Xiao Jiang will follow her." Liu Jun said, "Xiao Qiu is also watching Cheng Guosheng."
"That's good." Ji Fanyun looked up at Liu Jun in disbelief, "You all entered the set? Such a great skill!"
Then Ji Fanyun forgot to think about why Xu Xiao didn't stop him from being alone with Liu Jun, a stranger.
He took Liu Jun to the lounge in the shed. Hao Luo has been eating and living here recently, so the small room is well-equipped, and Ji Fanyun will also come over during his usual rest.
Along the way, all the staff members I encountered would greet Ji Fanyun politely, and Ji Fanyun would reply "hard work" and "hard work" in a friendly and steady manner...
After closing the door and immediately taking off the disguise, Ji Fanyun asked anxiously: "What's the matter with your suspect? I didn't recognize him just looking at the photos before. I met this person when Xu Xiao and I first came to Pingning Port. Could he be Came here for Xu Xiao?"
Liu Jun didn't follow the question to answer, but first asked Ji Fanyun if there was any water to drink, and when Ji Fanyun went to the small refrigerator to get a bottle of cold drink, Liu Jun unscrewed it and changed the lid, but handed it back to let Ji Fanyun drink first .
There was some reassurance in the tone: "The police are already arranging people, so you don't have to worry too much."
"Can the case be filed?" Ji Fanyun asked as he drank his saliva and swallowed urgently.
"Already making arrangements." Liu Jun said tactfully.
He didn't hide his eyes much, he just looked at Ji Fanyun's lips, but he was very serious, "Why do you think you might be the target by laughing?"
When Ji Fanyun met Cheng Guosheng for the first time, he just arrived in Pingning Port and was unfamiliar with the road. He got lost in the alley and simply sat on a step thinking about the script.
His role is not a person with a smooth life, so naturally he will not leave a too positive image. Although Ji Fanyun immediately recovered when he found someone, he remembered that Cheng Guosheng looked back several times at that time, thinking he was recognized. Panic a bit.
The second time I met Cheng Guosheng, he had a quarrel with Xu Xiao that day, and the quarrel always revolved around topics that should not be accepted.
Their relationship is like that of brothers and sisters, and they walk together while arguing.
It was to go to the studio to see the progress of the construction. On the way back to the hotel from the studio, Ji Fanyun left alone, but returned to find Xu Xiao after not walking far.
Then I saw Cheng Guosheng walking behind Xu Xiao.
Xu Xiao was also the kind of person who would suffocate and would not show any negative emotions in front of others, so the two of them didn't continue to quarrel and went back to the hotel one after the other.
Ji Fanyun modified the content a little bit before telling Liu Jun, and then affirmed himself: "There is no intersection, I should be thinking too much."
"Don't worry, Xiao Jiang is here." Liu Jun said.
Ji Fanyun's nervousness is the superposition of character and reality, even if he is good at disguising, he can't suppress the anxiety in his heart.
It's just strange, maybe Liu Jun is in good shape, standing in front of him will give you a sense of security.
Ji Fanyun interpreted this sense of security as the damn charm of an old man, so he let go of his nervousness. He looked at Liu Jun with a smile, and said, "Why don't you tell me, you're here?"
"Xiao Jiang has been fighting since elementary school." Liu Jun said.
"Oh." Ji Fanyun couldn't answer.
Liu Jun said again: "Let's go eat, is there a special canteen on your set?"
"Well, eat." Ji Fanyun nodded, but stopped Liu Jun's hand when he was about to open the door.
Ji Fanyun said: "Would you like to watch a scene filmed yesterday?"
He didn't intend to wait for Liu Jun's answer, so he turned around and went to the dressing table occupied by Hao Luo.
Although Hao Luo looks like a big boy, he is still amazingly talented. He is used to writing the soundtrack for the movie according to his shooting mood. In the last movie, he wrote a lot of music himself.
Ji Fanyun pushed away a pile of messy scores on the table, then hugged the acoustic guitar that was placed beside him and sat on it.
It's a lyrical tune, of course it's not Meng Lian's style, it's Ji Fanyun's.
Ji Fanyun's guitar is not proficient, and the song was learned here a few days ago. It's a song of the queen. I forgot a few keys, so it deviates from the original song, but the effect is still nice, and I sing it gently and slowly. .
His voice was deep and unsteady, his eyes were wrapped around Liu Jun, the air seemed to be about to melt, and accompanied by the soft and clear guitar sound, it melted into the soft notes.
Rap and sing, stop and stop, singing and guitar stopped at the same time, Ji Fanyun asked Liu Jun: "How is it?"
He only sang a few lines, as if he was really just rehearsing a scene for others to see, Ji Fanyun even suppressed all the expressions he showed while singing.
He thought, too much is not called seduction.
Ji Fanyun wasn't sure if Liu Jun could be a little boyish at his age, so he asked again, "Does it look unfamiliar?"
"Guitar," then added, "just learned."
Liu Jun's smile was actually weak, as usual, after he stopped smiling, his appearance was no different from him looking at the photo of the dead body, but the appearance was the same, but Ji Fanyun completely underestimated his actions.
Liu Jun walked over, didn't answer any questions, raised his hand directly to grab Ji Fanyun's chin as he did many times before, and kissed him warmly.
Warm, barbaric, as if wishing to occupy everyone.
