Chapter 25

The recording task of "Sleeping with the Enemy" was not tense, and Mu Ning was happy to be at ease.It was Fan Chengxi living in his house that made him feel very uncomfortable.

Every morning, the film crew of "Sleeping with the Enemy" came to record, and the recording ended at eight or nine in the evening.Everyone is very tired, so try not to work overtime.The rest of the material is collected by automatic cameras.

There is an empty room in the apartment, which is a free house without any cameras.The two could only come here if they wanted to escape the surveillance cameras.

But when Mu Ning and Fan Chengxi stayed together, they never felt a moment of relaxation.

——Imagine, living under the same roof with a person who has been compared with each other for decades, you can wear short sleeves with holes, don’t wash your hair or take a shower, and lean on the sofa like when you are alone at home Holding potato chips in your arms, with potato chips on the corner of your mouth, idle around day and night?

you can not.

Mu Ning couldn't even do it.

He cleaned the house spotlessly; he carried scripts with him everywhere he went, even if he couldn’t read a single word; he took out Freud, which he never read, and placed it by the bedside; Kiss burns are all hidden in the storage cabinet; when Fan Chengxi looked around for a sip of water to drink, he handed him an expensive ceramic teacup without any trace.

Although Fan Chengxi lost his home court advantage, he was not left behind.Two people come and go, competing every minute and every second.

And this life of whitewashing the peace and comparing each other broke Mu Ning's heart within a day or two.He pretended to be exhausted.

Finally, in the middle of the night, Mu Ning suffered from gluttony. When he closed his eyes, he felt thirty thousand spicy sticks dancing in his mind holding hands.He crept up from the bed, walked around into the storage room, secretly took out two packs of spicy sticks, and then sneaked back to the bedroom. Just as he pushed open the bedroom door, he suddenly heard a faint rustling sound.According to the sound, it came from Fan Chengxi's room.

Mu Ning turned around and pushed open the door of the room, turned on the light, and found Fan Chengxi squatting beside the bed, eating potato chips.

"Ha!" Mu Ning was very excited: "I caught you!"

Fan Chengxi asked straightforwardly: "May I ask what are you holding in your arms?"

"I, I, this is..." Mu Ning couldn't answer.

Half a catty, half a catty, laughing at a hundred steps.

The two of them don't want to talk about each other.

The recording team came early the next morning, and the director told the show that the first episode had been edited and was being submitted for review.And seriously warned Mu Ning and Fan Chengxi: "You two, pay attention to your language! Otherwise, it won't be broadcast at all."

After exposing each other last night, Mu Ning and Fan Chengxi died down all night.At this moment, they looked at each other and said in unison: "Got it."

"Today's task is to practice intimacy." The director handed the rough script to the two, "in the morning we will record indoors, and in the afternoon we will record outdoors."

Mu Ning said, "Why is there still an outdoor room?"

The director smiled and said: "Comprehensive, it looks good this way. Don't worry, you don't need strenuous exercise. You have negotiated with your agent and assistant about this."

Fan Chengxi shrugged: "I have no objection."

Munning countered habitually: "You have no problem with anything."

Fan Chengxi asked back: "Why, do you have an opinion? Hey, the director is right here, don't hold back what you have to say, just say it."

Mu Ning looked at the director who was looking at him benevolently, but with a hidden smile, and smiled sarcastically: "I... have no objection."

The indoor task is to drink Coke.

"Please face each other, share two straws, drink a bottle of Coke, and always look into each other's eyes..." Mu Ning was reading the script, and suddenly slapped the table unbearably: "This, this is too much !"

Fan Chengxi rarely agreed with him: "Yes! I choose death."

"That's right, I'll send you back with a left uppercut." Mu Ning said.

"Then I will give you a right uppercut, and you and I will die together." Fan Chengxi refused to budge.

The program is being recorded, facing the daily bickering between the two, the staff tacitly fell silent.

"Can you change the mission?" Mu Ning asked.

The photographer supported the machine and shook it slowly.The staff brought up a bottle of Coke and two straws.

The two of them had no choice, if it wasn't for the final payment of the program group, they would have quit long ago.

People are drifting in the rivers and lakes, and this professional ethics is still necessary.

Coke is bottled in a glass bottle, and the straw has been cut so that it only protrudes a few centimeters.Fan Chengxi and Mu Ning bit the straw with their front teeth, so embarrassed that goosebumps fell all over the floor, and neither of them wanted to look up.

The director had no choice but to use the whiteboard to remind: "Look at each other."

Mu Ning raised his eyes and met Fan Chengxi's eyes: one second, two seconds, three seconds...

"Pfft!" Fan Chengxi couldn't hold back anymore, and with a burst of laughter, he sprayed out the Coke that he hadn't had time to swallow.Mu Ning couldn't dodge it in time, making his face blurred.

A group of staff hid behind the light board and shook with laughter. The director ruthlessly wrote on the white board: "Keep drinking."

Mu Ning calmly wiped his face with his hands, suppressed a smile and continued to drink Coke with his head down.

This time also failed to last for three seconds.Mu Ning looked up and saw Fan Chengxi's eyelids were twitching slightly, this deflated look was much more funny than those funny collections on the Internet.Because of being too close, Mu Ning didn't want to spray Coke on Fan Chengxi's face, so he choked a mouthful of Coke into his throat, and the bubbles rushed straight to his forehead, forcing tears to come out: "Cough! Cough cough!..."

Fan Chengxi couldn't hold back anymore: "Hahahahahahahaha!"

Mu Ning regained his composure, and scolded with a smile: "What's so funny about this!"

Fan Chengxi: "Hahahahahahahahahahahahaha..."

The outdoor recording in the afternoon was even more embarrassing.

Mu Ning and Fan Chengxi had their feet and hands tied, and they were glued together to do tasks.The location of the mission is one of the shopping malls with the largest traffic in Beijing. The mission is to find the people of the program group in each store, match the codes, and find the three puzzles.

"Look for Picture A first!" Fan Chengxi pointed to the colored paper jigsaw puzzle in his hand: "Look, Picture A is only missing one piece, so it's easy to find."

"How can I start with simple things first?" Mu Ning tugged at the feet tied together with Fan Chengxi: "Of course we have to start looking for C, and there are four missing in C."

Fan Chengxi: "No, find A first!"

Mu Ning: "Find C first!"

"Ah!"

"C!"

The two stood in the atrium of the shopping mall, followed by the photographer and director, and surrounded by passers-by.The two of them stuck together with their hands and feet tied, and their faces were red when they argued. The effect of the show was great.

At the end of the recording in the evening, I went out for dinner with the film crew.When I came home early in the morning, there was another DVD at the door.

"What year is it, you still buy DVDs online?" Fan Chengxi asked.

"I didn't buy it." Mu Ning picked it up and opened it to read, this time it was "Seven Deadly Sins". "I don't know who put it at my door."

Fan Chengxi quickly thought of others: "Lin Jiayang, don't you hang out with him all the time recently?"

"Ask another day." Mu Ning didn't think much about it.

As soon as the film crew left the next day, Lin Jiayang came.With a hot "Internet celebrity" hamburger bought from Shanghai in his hand.

"What is this?" Mu Ning opened the cardboard box, and the fragrance spread all over the room, and Fan Chengxi was hooked out.

"Shanghai's new hamburger restaurant is the only one in the country." Lin Jiayang told him happily: "I brought it for you as soon as I got off the plane. It's wrapped in many layers of boxes. It shouldn't be cold yet. I hope it won't be too bad. .”

"Do you have my share?" Fan Chengxi strolled over to see that it was for one person, and immediately continued: "Xiao Lin, this is wrong, do you dare to love me as air?"

Lin Jiayang scratched his head embarrassingly: "Muning likes to eat hamburgers, so I remembered to buy them for him."

Fan Chengxi was just joking and didn't take it to heart.He lived with Mu Ning during this time, and Lin Jiayang came over every few days, so he naturally got to know him well.

While eating, Mu Ning said, "I don't like hamburgers? I mean...not my favorite." He likes grilled cold noodles and Malatang the most.

Lin Jiayang seemed to be convinced of this: "In your previous interviews, you said that you like to eat hamburgers."

Mu Ning was taken aback, and said: "Jiayang, you are also a celebrity yourself, you know that there are not a few words in this that can be taken seriously, right?"

Lin Jiayang was very stubborn, "Then don't you like it?"

Mu Ning couldn't see his pitiful puppy-like eyes, so he could only say, "I like it too... I like it."

Most of the recording of "Sleeping with the Enemy" has been completed, and the two groups next door have moved towards peace under the guidance of the script.Only Mu Ning and Fan Chengxi bickered at home, in front of the camera, and with task cards every day, bickering all the time.The sound filled the ears like a magic sound, and it could last for three days. Every time the director came, he felt a headache from hearing it.

"You two, you can't go on like this. The main idea of ​​our show can't come out at all." The director was in a state of distress: "We have a backup plan script, you two can read it in the next few days, and record according to the script in the next few days, okay? ?”

Mu Ning and Fan Chengxi took it, turned around and asked their managers, and they both said yes.

Early the next morning, the film crew rang the doorbell as usual, thinking that they should be able to calm down a bit today, and they could also call it a day and go home early, so they could find their mothers.But found that both Mu Ning and Fan Chengxi were not at home? !

"What's going on?" The director turned off the phones when he called the two people, and then asked their respective agents and publicists, but they still didn't know: "Has the world evaporated?"

After repeated phone calls to their respective assistants, the assistants didn't even know.

A group of people stood at the door and stared blankly.After a while, the director's eyes were sharp, and he found a note on the door, writing: "Leave note".

Signatories: Mu Ning, Fan Chengxi.

The clock played back ten hours ago.

Mu Ning took a shower, slipped into bed and got under the covers, and played the "Seven Deadly Sins" that he received at the door.Although he has watched this movie many times, it is still necessary to watch it again.

He used to have movie quotas every month.When we were together with Zhuang Yao in the past, we didn't have much work, and he could just lie on the bed and watch all day.Now that I'm busy, watching movies is almost neglected.Watching DVDs is very rustic, but people like him and Zhuang Yao who will reserve a place in the room to collect movies are sometimes really not used to the playback mode on the Internet.

Mu Ning placed food and drink by the bed, and just pressed the play button, someone knocked on the door.

Knowing that it was Fan Chengxi, Mu Ning huddled under the blanket and asked impatiently, "Why?"

Fan Chengxi didn't answer, but knocked hard on the door.

Mu Ning had no choice but to get out of bed and open the door for Fan Chengxi.

"I'm going to another place tomorrow." As soon as the door opened, Fan Chengxi said, "Do you want to come together?"

"Your program is not recorded? You will lose money. And you opened the window for the program, and you will be invited to the program in the future." Mu Ning said.

Fan Chengxi asked back: "Why, do you still want to act in a reality show for the rest of your life?"

This is too sad.Apart from Zhuang Yao, Fan Chengxi was the only one who could hit Mu Ning's vitals seven inches straight with a snake.

After hearing this, Mu Ning felt a sting in his neck: "Fart! I won't spend my whole life recording reality shows."

"Besides, haven't you read the script? Tomorrow, I'm going to act in a scene where you cry and settle your suspicions. To me, can you do it?" Fan Chengxi asked again.

Mu Ning shook his head like a wind-up toy.

So Mu Ning and Fan Chengxi made a decisive decision, bought a ticket to Hainan, and drove to the airport at six o'clock in the morning.

At the airport, Fan Chengxi handed Mu Ning a peaked cap and a mask.

Mu Ning smiled awkwardly: "No need, the two of us are not very popular."

Fan Chengxi didn't answer directly, his eyes drifted away guiltily: "...not to hide from fans."

Mu Ning was abducted by Fan Chengxi to the airport in a daze, and checked in in a daze.Just as he was about to walk into the waiting room, Fan Chengxi suddenly pulled him back, and the two of them hid behind the sign.

"What are you doing?" Mu Ning was confused.

Fan Chengxi raised his fingers and stood by his hand, and said in a low voice, "Don't be discovered."

"Don't be discovered by anything?" Mu Ning's mind finally turned around and began to doubt: "Hey, you don't want to escape the recording at all, do you? You can go anywhere, but you ran so far, Hainan... By the way , you are looking for Yan Shizhang, aren't you?!"

Fan Chengxi nodded sincerely.

"Damn!" Mu Ning was so angry that he thought that Fan Chengxi was going to go out with him, so he packed up his swimming trunks and beach shorts and happily put them on!

"I'm not going!" Mu Ning turned to leave: "I'm going back to record the show, it's very expensive to deduct money!"

Fan Chengxi held Mu Ning's arm firmly.He was no longer as cynical as before, but lowered his head, biting his upper teeth until his lower lip lost its color.

"I need your help. Please," he said.

For more than ten years, he has never begged Mu Ning once, and Mu Ning has never begged him.In this place where it's difficult to do things without favors, he and Mu Ning are one of the very few people who don't owe each other.Because of this, although he and Mu Ning are always at odds with each other, they are actually not many people who can be completely trusted by each other.

Now, Fan Chengxi needs to speak up.Zhuang Yao's mouth was tight, he didn't understand what was going on, and he had to keep it from himself.Where is Yan Shizhang?Why did Yan Shizhang just say goodbye and then disappear?Yan Shizhang is not such a person, which is abnormal.

He had to figure it out.

Of course Mu Ning also knew that this was the first time Fan Chengxi begged him.That stubborn, crazy and persistent look reminded him of himself before leaving Zhuang Yao.After all, they are all the same kind of people, they are lunatics who will never look back after falling in love.

Mu Ning felt pity in his heart, softened his tone, and said, "Okay, okay. I'll just go with you. But, what can I do for you? I don't know Yan Shizhang."

"You don't need to know him." Fan Chengxi's eyes lit up, and he moved sideways to open a gap: "You just need to know him."

Mu Ning looked in the direction.

Mr. Zhuang Yao, who hadn't seen him for a month, was sitting in the lounge with his iPad down and reading the news. Mr. Zhuang Yao, dressed in casual clothes, came into his eyes unsuspectingly.

Mu Ning turned back abruptly, and smiled abnormally at Fan Chengxi: "Fan Chengxi, in the past half a month, I have had so many opportunities to poison you - why didn't I vote? I regret it so much now."

Fan Chengxi pursed his lips and patted him on the shoulder: "There is no medicine for regret in this world, you'd better put on your mask and hat."
