Chapter 16

After returning to the set, Mu Ning was as usual.

Seeing him coming back, Bai Xiaotan deliberately asked when passing by, "Did Mr. Zhuang call you?"

Mu Ning was too lazy to talk to him, so he pretended to be exaggerated and said to Wu Chao beside him, "Oh, old Wu, why do I feel that there are always flies flying around me?"

Wu Chao couldn't hold back his laughter, so he turned his back and laughed until his whole body trembled.Bai Xiaotan's entire face turned into a pig's liver, and he left in a self-defeating manner.

Before it stopped for 2 minutes, Lin Jiayang's call came again: "Muning! Muning, Muning, Muning, Muning..."

Mu Ning's head got bigger, and he took the phone away: "What are you doing?"

"I was wrong!" Lin Jiayang came up with an apology: "Even if I had a fight with Mr. Zhuang yesterday, I shouldn't have handed you over to him."

"It's late." Mu Ning said two words calmly.

"Don't, don't!" Lin Jiayang was as anxious as an ant on a hot pot, and suddenly thought of something: "Wait, did he bully you?! This bastard is bullying! I'll go to the paparazzi to expose him!"

Mu Ning sneered and said, "I've been by his side for ten years, and I haven't seen anyone who can play him well. You can forget it."

Lin Jiayang held the mobile phone, and Xianglin's wife sighed, "I'm so stupid, really."

You still can't overdo the joke, or the kid will be terrified.Mu Ning had played enough, he didn't continue to trick him, and said with a smile: "Nothing happened, and I'm not angry with you."

Lin Jiayang asked: "Really?"

Mu Ning said, "Really."

Lin Jiayang breathed a sigh of relief: "I didn't sleep all night."

Regardless of whether the words are true or not, Mu Ning also softened his heart, and said kindly: "Thank you for sending me back yesterday."

"Now I finally know who your ex is, but I'm not in a happier mood." A voice from Lin Jiayang's phone urged him to change his clothes and continue filming.

He was probably shooting the cover of a major magazine, so of course he couldn't be neglected, so he didn't finish his sentence: "Oh, I'll call you when I finish my work."

After returning to the RV and changing clothes, Munning sat and waited for makeup, with the iPad in front of his eyes to flip through.

Mu Ning's skin is very good, and his complexion is fairer than girls', so he doesn't need too much concealer, and his foundation needs to be one shade darker than his original skin tone.

"Look up," said the makeup artist.

Mu Ning did as he did, and wiped the makeup sponge under his eyes.The makeup artist's hands paused, and then asked lightly, "Crying?"

Mu Ning also replied lightly: "Yes."

Chen Xuehua was invited to Fashion Week, but she was absent for a few days.

The group is still shooting intensively, the only downside is the sudden increase in daily scenes with Bai Xiaotan.When Mu Ning saw that face, he felt like throwing up. Thanks to the professionalism of the actor, the result really looked like a good brother.

The entertainment industry is a place where one drama is another drama. Thinking of the upcoming drama announcement period and being tied to Bai Xiaotan every day, Mu Ning wants to buy a gun and kill this person with one shot.

In the afternoon, Anna came again.Bai Xiaotan looked at her standing beside Mu Ning, feeling very uncomfortable.

This Anna has been in Juheng for seven years. Apart from Mu Ning, she has single-handedly brought out two super first-line stars.Bai Xiaotan had told Zhuang Yao several times before that he wanted Anna to bring him too.Zhuang Yao always disagreed.

Later, Mu Ning didn't renew the contract, and Anna actually followed him.

In Mu Ning's studio, Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, the ace manager Anna is one of them, and Yang Liu has a brilliant resume in publicity.Zheng Duan, who is currently popular, and several little flowers who were hacked by the whole network but are now praised by the whole network are all written by Yang Liu, and they can be said to be textbook figures in the marketing industry.

Why is he?Bai Xiaotan thought.Zhuang Yao clearly spends more time with him, why is he always treating Mu Ning better?

Anna brought her martial arts teacher here.Cheng Xiangjian is an apprentice of Cheng Yijun, a well-known martial arts instructor in Hong Kong.

"Cheng Zhi," Mu Ning shook hands with him, "Nice to meet you."

Cheng Xiangjian was in his forties, short, dark-skinned, and muscular all over.He shook hands with Mu Ning with a smile, and said, "Hello, hello."

"Muning is going to audition for Wucheng's new film "Speed ​​Storm". At the same time, the crew has a lot of action scenes to shoot. Please come and train him first to get used to it." Anna squeezed Mu Ning's thin shoulders: "Look at his body..."

Cheng Xiangjian looked left and right, up and down, like a lamb waiting to be slaughtered: "You need to gain fat and muscle. Only with muscle can you protect your joints, otherwise you will be easily injured."

"But, it's not a matter of a month or two to gain muscle." Mu Ning asked a little nervously.

Cheng Xiangjian was also quite worried, she folded her arms and said nothing.

"It doesn't matter, you can just figure it out," Mu Ning said again: "As long as you can still walk, it doesn't matter if you get a small injury."

The implication is that you should work hard to make it.

Cheng Xiangjian sighed: "Then this month will be very difficult for you."

To be honest, Mu Ning really underestimated the extent of the word "difficult" in Cheng Xiangjian's mouth.

This is not torment, this is hell, it is purgatory!When Mu Ning was sweating profusely practicing basic martial arts moves, he thought desperately.

They rented a venue in the hotel where they were staying. Every day after Mu Ning was in the theater, he didn't have time to eat, so he went to the temporary practice room to find Cheng Xiangjian to report.

"Are you tired?" Cheng Xiangjian always asked with a smile.

Mu Ning nodded, then shook his head again.

"That's fine," Cheng Xiangjian stood up and stomped on the floor: "The basic three sets and another set!"

The 10 minutes of rest are so precious that Munning's perception of time has an illusion.

Mu Ning collapsed on the ground like a corpse, watching his 10 minutes go by quickly.Cheng Xiangjian did every set of movements with Mu Ning, but at this time he was not panting, sitting next to Mu Ning, as if watching a joke.

"Cheng Zhi..." Mu Ning asked out of breath, "Aren't you tired?"

"Of course I was tired when I started practicing, and everything is difficult at the beginning." Cheng Xiangjian said.

Mu Ning lay down on the ground and said intermittently: "It's too difficult. I haven't been on... Wia before. It's all a stand-in to help."

Cheng Xiangjian said: "After practicing these, Diao Weiya should not be difficult for you."

Mu Ning wants to cry but has no tears.

The muscles all over his body were screaming, sore and painful, and he couldn't do a few movements, so Cheng Xiangjian let him fall once to the left and once to the right.Except for some dangerous movements, Cheng Xiangjian would support him by the side, and for other small bumps, Cheng Xiangjian just stood by and just talked, not caring.

Could it be that he really made Zhuang Yao so squeamish.But, he used to... Of course, it was a long time ago, it was definitely not like this.

He was only in his teens at that time, and in order to fight for a chance to make his debut, he knew that his muscles and bones were extremely stiff, so he was not suitable for dancing, but he still pressed his legs in front of the mirror in the practice room every day.The tendon on the inner thigh was violently pulled, and he was shaking with pain, crying and pressing.

I have survived such a dark day, so where is it going?

Seeing that he was exhausted with his eyes closed, Cheng Xiangjian asked tentatively, "Do you want to give up?"

Mu Ning slowly got up, and said with a smile, "Where is this?"

After just two days of practice, Mu Ning's whole body was bruised and purple.The skin on my hands is worn out, and my knees are always uncomfortable these two days.

Amy Zhao went to the city to buy several different kinds of plasters, as well as bruise ointment and safflower oil. Every morning, she waited for Mu Ning to come back to take a shower, apply the medicine to him, and then go back.

Mu Ning lay on the bed and joked, "Amy, your boyfriend won't be jealous, right?"

Amy Zhao put the plaster on him and said, "He is busier than me, so he has no time to be jealous." As she spoke, she tore off another plaster, and the smell of Chinese medicine hit her forehead.Amy Zhao carefully stuck it to Mu Ning's lower back, and said, "Boss, there is nothing good about you."

Mu Ning didn't answer, Amy called again: "Boss, boss?"

Stretching out his head, he saw that he was already asleep.

Amy Zhao was stunned for a long time before she sighed and said to herself, "Well, the life of a star is nothing more than that."

After persisting like this for a week, Mu Ning's action scenes have improved a lot.

With Cheng Xiangjian's status, he naturally couldn't accompany Mu Ning at the film and television base every day, as he also had other things to do.He flew to Shanghai for the past two days to work as a martial artist, so Mu Ning can be considered free for two days.

When playing with Chen Xuehua that day, Mu Ning accidentally stood on the wrong foot, Chen Xuehua pulled him to the original position with very light force, but Mu Ning staggered and almost fell.

"What's wrong?" Chen Xuehua asked.

"Recently my knees have been hurting a lot." Mu Ning frowned and tapped his knees, forced a smile and said, "It's okay, let's continue."

Chen Xuehua and Mu Ning had the most scenes with each other. Naturally, he noticed that his hands and elbows were full of scars.

"Is it possible that it is arthritis or something?" Chen Xuehua kindly reminded, "You'd better go to the hospital."

"Black Rose" is well-produced, and strives to restore the criminal investigation scene while not forgetting the lingering love between the hero and heroine, so there are many emotional dramas.Mu Ning has kissed Chen Xuehua several times, and the communication has become more and more, and the relationship between the two has heated up sharply.

Starting next week, I finally have to line up some action scenes.After Mu Ning went through Xiangjian's devil training camp, he was still a little eager to try.Except for some stunts, he couldn't do them, and the crew wouldn't let him do them either.He can do ordinary action scenes by himself.

The coordinator began to take the book to find the main actors to register the number of substitutes. These years, even the [-]th-line actors have to use substitutes. There will be a mess of people, and they need to be arranged in advance.

When it was Bai Xiaotan's turn, the assistant filled in several.The coordinator took the notebook and left, the assistant returned to Bai Xiaotan, and whispered, "What's the matter, I saw that Mu Ning's column said 'no need for a substitute'?"

"Don't want a substitute?" Bai Xiaotan didn't believe it: "It's just his body, cut it."

"It's written like that anyway," the assistant replied.

Bai Xiaotan stood at the door of the RV, looking thoughtfully in the direction of Mu Ning.

The filming continued as usual on weekends. Chen Xuehua gave her two assistants a day off today, and the temporary assistant couldn't come, so she could only hold a parasol by herself. Mu Ning saw that she was also suffering, so he asked He Zhen to take care of her .

"Thank you." Chen Xuehua said, "Is your knee better?"

"It still hurts, but it's better when you don't move." Mu Ning said.

"Remember to go to the hospital. By the way, there is a dinner tonight, so you can come with me."

"What dinner?"

"Just a few main creators for dinner, and Mr. Yue from Xinshi Pictures." Chen Xuehua said, "It's strange, Du Ze didn't call you?"

Mu Ning was a little embarrassed, "If he didn't call me, I wouldn't go. It's embarrassing."

Eldest sister Chen Xuehua hugged Mu Ning's shoulders in a big way: "It's okay, I'll take you there. You can also call Anna, anyway, we all know each other."

In the evening, after going to the dinner, Mu Ning realized why Du Ze didn't call him over.

A table of ten people, director Du Ze, screenwriter Li Feiyang, producer Ma Ran, Bai Xiaotan, Bai Xiaotan's manager Lao Zhu, Chen Xuehua, Xinshi Pictures boss Yue Fangcun, Mu Ning, Anna, and—— — Zhuang Yao.
