Chapter 24

"I'm willing to use all my savings to pay you guys," Mu Ning sincerely refused, "I don't want to 'live' with Fan Chengxi."

Anna said: "Haven't you lived together before?"

Mu Ning thought for a while: "No, we live in a dormitory, and he lives in Yan Shizhang's house."

There was an awkward silence in the ward.

"Anyway, I don't want it." After a while, Mu Ning said, "And I can use these three months to dub "Black Rose"."

"The dubbing work is up to half a month." Anna ruthlessly revealed.

"I can also delve into the script and study the characters with great concentration." Mu Ning closed his eyes and made a meditation gesture: "Lin Tai is such a charming villain, I need to handle it well."

Anna sighed: "Oh!"

Amy Zhao also sighed: "Oh!!"

Not to be outdone, Mu Ning said, "Oh!!!"

The three of them stared at each other in the ward, and after a while, all of them burst out laughing.

"It's not that I don't want to cooperate with Fan Chengxi." Mu Ning said, "I just felt that my personality and characteristics were too distinct when I participated in "Star Wars" last time."

"The character design is too prominent." Amy Zhao translated in time.

"Yes." Mu Ning nodded, and continued: "Anna, I know that popularity can determine many things, but I'm not made to be an idol star. If I live like Lin Jiayang, I have to be vigilant even when I smoke. Seeing someone outside the private room not following the film, I will go crazy."

"To be a public figure, you always have to sacrifice something." Anna said, "This is an iron rule, do you understand?"

"Of course I understand. However, what I do now is to be able to interpret the characters I really like and love from the bottom of my heart in the future. Simply put, I can have my own choice. If my image as a public figure is too In particular, my image would be limited.—I was already very limited.”

Mu Ning's appearance is very limited. In order to broaden the scope of the play, he ignored Zhuang Yao's objection and insisted on taking on an ugly role on purpose, but the effect was not satisfactory: the face was tired and he didn't like it, and passers-by felt that he looked like a Come in reverse.

Anna said: "I understand you. But let me tell you, Mu Ning, all targeting and prejudice will go away one day. ——As long as your strength is here, you can always shine, do you understand? What we are doing now, It's just to let others discover you faster, the sooner the better."

"I understand." Mu Ning said, "There are too many things that cannot be controlled."

Anna reassured: "Besides, it will last for a few more years. Now that you have your own studio, when you become popular, the studio can sign a few more newcomers, and we will also welcome newcomers. When the newcomers get up, If you stand still, you can be the shopkeeper. At that time, it doesn’t matter whether you want to indulge in performing arts or travel around the world, it doesn’t matter.”

This future is full of hope, and Mu Ning wants this kind of life.Then he gritted his teeth, and said, "OK!"

So he and Fan Chengxi started to prepare for the shooting of "Sleeping with the Enemy".

Zhuang Yao seemed to have disappeared from the world. Compared with the previous situation where he was disconnected, he hadn't appeared in Mu Ning's life for a long time.Occasionally, Mu Ning heard Fan Chengxi say that he couldn't find Zhuang Yao recently, thinking that he was too busy.

During the pre-production of "Sleeping with the Enemy", the director of the production team prepared separate interviews and group interviews.When interviewing Mu Ning separately, the director team asked intentionally: "Mun Ning, what kind of person do you think Fan Chengxi is?"

Mu Ning thought for a while and asked, "Will this be broadcast?"

The director's eyes lit up: "Of course it won't be broadcast. This is for us to prepare for writing the script. What will be broadcast will be the materials that you two were interviewed together."

"That's fine." Mu Ning believed it, and began to chatter: "Hey, he is actually a good person. He is quite righteous. He also sings very well. I couldn't sing him in the group back then, and I always competed with him in private. To be honest, he sings much better than some current singers. He should go out to release records. As for him, it is not impossible to take the path of an actor. Don’t look at him acting paralyzed, he just doesn’t care. ——He doesn't seem to care about anything. Oh, by the way, he is also pretty good-looking, and he was the most popular in our group back then."

It was the same with Fan Chengxi.The editor-director smiled sincerely, and said, "Don't worry, this won't be aired."

Fan Chengxi was more honest: "He's very nice, and he's a very nice person. He looks poisonous in his words, but he actually has a good heart. He's really talented in acting, and he's willing to work hard. It's just these years..." Fan Chengxi paused: "He My heart is not on this, wasting a lot of time. You can take a closer look at him. His facial features are very open, which is very suitable for filming. He is the least afraid of close-ups. When I checked Weibo before, I also watched When it came time for his fans to say that he had the golden ratio of three courtyards and five eyes. I went to have a look, hey, it really is..."

The director team took a look, wasn't there a rumor that there was a discord?The brokers also let go of their discord.How could this be so respectful to each other in business.The director team didn't believe in evil, and wrote a tearful script with swords, swords, and blood flying everywhere.

When it came to the two-person interview, good guy, all the sympathy in the one-person interview disappeared, and then turned into the swords, guns and sticks that the two talked about.

"What's your first impression of each other?" asked the director, "Write the answer on the answer board."

Mu Ning: "Ugly."

Fan Chengxi: "Ugly."

--Are you serious?The problem is that you two look alike.There are a hundred question marks in the director's mind.

"What is the reason for the bad relationship with the other party?" The director added: "Don't worry, you two, editing after the event will not intensify the conflict, and there will be no tricks to discredit you. So you only need to write your true thoughts. That's it."

Mu Ning: "I don't like him."

Fan Chengxi: "I don't deal with fools."

Mu Ning turned his head and glared at him: "You are an idiot."

The director asked again: "Uh...why did you choose to participate in this program? Is it because you want to settle down with each other?"

Mu Ning: "Lack of money."

Fan Chengxi: "Make money."

The choreographer glanced at the two answering boards with similar results, fell silent for a while, and whispered to the assistant beside him, "Xiao Yang, go back to the meeting tonight and re-prepare the pre-production."

However, the pre-production was not completed until the official recording began.

The program team prepared a total of three pairs of candidates, two of which acted according to the script, and only Mu Ning and Fan Chengxi had a really bad relationship.This kind of experimental pairing incorporates too many rules and regulations of variety show production, but it will destroy possible shining points.The program team held more than a dozen meetings before and after, and finally got through with the leaders in the station.Final decision: Mu Ning and Fan Chengxi will record without a script.

Although it is indeed risky to overthrow all the designs, for each program group, a new program means risk, and it also means a 50.00% chance of being a hit.

The program team decided to take a gamble.

Due to Mu Ning's physical condition, the program team will prepare and set up the camera at Mu Ning's home.

Munning's apartment is not small, but his fixed activity areas are only a few places.When chatting with Lin Jiayang the night before, I mentioned that the film crew of "Sleeping with the Enemy" will be coming tomorrow, and today I have to clean up the house.

Lin Jiayang had just escaped from the VIP passage of the Capital Airport terminal, and asked him for his address. After driving away six cars on the road, he went to Mu Ning's house.

"Why are you here?" Mu Ning was surprised to see Lin Jiayang when he opened the door.He pulled Lin Jiayang into the room: "Didn't you have an event in Shanghai today?"

Lin Jiayang took off his mask, took off the hood of his sweater, and finally revealed a little of his tightly covered handsome face: "Yes." Lin Jiayang smiled and said, "But I'm rushing back."

Mu Ning asked, "Did you get rid of the fans?"

"There are two illegitimate students who didn't get rid of them."

Seeing that Mu Ning was worried, Lin Jiayang went on to say: "It's okay, those two girls have benefited from me so much, so they dare not say anything."

"Do you have contact with fans?" Mu Ning was even more surprised: "What can I do if I let others know."

"I won't say it, they won't say it, who will know." Lin Jiayang obviously didn't intend to stay on this topic for a long time, just after changing his slippers, he went into the kitchen and asked, "Ah, Ningning, where are you?" Is there anything to eat? I'm starving to death!"

Mu Ning reluctantly took out his mobile phone: "I don't have anything here, let me order you takeaway."

The two had a whole meal at home, and Mu Ning was a little embarrassed: "Come here as soon as you get off the plane, and I'll treat you with braised chicken and rice. I'll treat you to something better next time."

Lin Jiayang said: "Okay. But with you, I am happy to eat anything."

Mu Ning lowered his eyes and smiled slightly, but didn't speak.

Lin Jiayang was holding a piece of chicken and was about to put it in his mouth, when he suddenly stared blankly.

He has watched Mu Ning's movies many times, he has many interview videos of Mu Ning in his computer, and he has several aliases disguised as "Mousse".It was an accident that he first entered the entertainment circle, and his original intention was just to get closer to this person.Later, he inexplicably became popular, and he also fell in love with the feeling of being sought after by thousands of people when he was a star.He wants more, more red, he wants Munning.

Lin Jiayang has played back countless times a certain movie, a certain role, a certain fixed nod that Mu Ning starred in when he was 23 years old.

There has never been a time when Mu Ning really lowered his eyebrows and smiled in front of his eyes so shockingly.

His dream, the person he likes come true.He simply wanted to sit in front of the tea table with Mu Ning for the rest of his life, with his legs crossed, and feast on braised yellow chicken and rice.

Mu Ning ate a few mouthfuls by himself, and found that Lin Jiayang was looking at him obsessively.He stretched out his hand and shook Lin Jiayang's eyes: "Hey, what are you looking at?"

"Ningning," Lin Jiayang said, "I want to kiss you."

Mu Ning said, "That can't be done."

"Why not?" Lin Jiayang was unhappy.

"I'm not your boyfriend." Mu Ning tapped Lin Jiayang's head: "Hurry up and eat."

Lin Jiayang raised his chopsticks sullenly, and the stewed chicken and rice, which seemed like a delicacy from mountains and seas, was tasteless.

"For me, you are my boyfriend for ten years." Lin Jiayang took a bite and said.

Mu Ning's heart trembled.

The feelings of young people are always undisguised, so hot and aboveboard, with some optimism that can't be quenched.

But Lin Jiayang is not his type.

Feelings are very mysterious. It doesn't mean that if you are nice to a person, that person will like you.Otherwise, there wouldn't be so many people struggling in the vortex of love.

But is what Amy Zhao said also makes sense?Can it be easier to choose one that you like?

can heCan he take me out of Zhuang Yao's glass fish tank and return to the sea?

Lin Jiayang only left late at night, but Mu Ning didn't feel sleepy yet.He took out the script of "Speed ​​​​Storm" and read it for a while, feeling that he could not concentrate for the time being.

Creating a successful villain is often more difficult than creating a decent character.The villain has fewer roles, the lines are streamlined, and the information given to the audience is limited.How to make the characters three-dimensional without wasting every second of the shot, every scene, this is what Munning really needs to worry about.

In the past few days, take the time to watch a few movies that have portrayed classic villains to find ideas.Mu Ning thought about it, threw away the script, fell into bed and fell asleep.

Early the next morning, before the camera crew arrived, Mu Ning was about to open the door and go out for a walk with the dog.He found a package outside the door, and wrote: Received by Mu Ning.

Mu Ning opened it up and read: "Pulp Fiction".

No signature, no card, just a DVD.

Who sent it?Mu Ning stood at the door and thought for a while.

Lin Jiayang?
