Chapter 4 Chapter 4 Think Twice Before You Speak

I think his name is really right. It's really a wise man who doesn't talk and thinks twice before speaking. I don't know why I always want to talk to Shen Qinyan. "This fish tastes good, right?" Seeing that he ate up the fish in a few minutes, leaving only a row of fish bones, I took the initiative to talk to Shen Qinyan. I was a little apprehensive, wondering if he would answer me or not.I don't know many celebrities, after all, only Qiao Xining is one.He is the kind of person who wants the whole world to share his happiness with him, and Shen Qinyan is definitely not like that.If I don't speak, I will definitely be silent.

"Yes." Shen Qinyan answered me, "It tastes good." "This kind of fish is called pike, and it only grows in fresh water below ten degrees Celsius," I said. "There are very few spines, but it will never grow up. I ate it once in Alaska a few years ago, and I have been thinking about it until now. " He didn't speak, but looked at me quietly.I was nervous for a while, did he think I talked too much? After a while, he said, "Are you Qiao Xining's assistant?" It turned out that he was asking me this, so I breathed a sigh of relief and quickly answered: "Yes, my name is Du Li."

"Which two words?" "Mutudu, the pear of the pear tree." He nodded and said, "Very good." "My mother said she liked to eat pears when she was pregnant with me, so she named me that." He pursed the corners of his mouth and seemed to be smiling silently, but it disappeared when he looked closely, like a trance dream. I think his name is really right. It's really a wise man who doesn't talk and thinks twice before speaking. While speaking, my cell phone rang, indicating that there was an email.I didn't want to read it at first, but I was afraid that there was something important, so I reluctantly turned the screen and looked down to check the email.There are two emails, one is from Xiao Yang, informing me that this year's "Codename" conference will be held soon, and asking if I will participate.

The second email is an invitation letter to the "Code" conference, with a string of SSL passwords and a few keywords attached. Deciphering this string of passwords is the admission ticket. The so-called "Code" conference, to put it bluntly, is a hacker conference, an annual event for the world's top computer experts, where everyone gathers to communicate.Here you can see all kinds of gods in the world of binary information. I looked at the string of passwords for a few seconds, my fingers itch unconsciously, and after a little hesitation, I remotely controlled the computer at home and started to decipher.Then he replied to Xiao Yang with a few words, "I will definitely go", and asked him if he would like to book a plane ticket together.

When I looked up, I saw Shen Qinyan looking at me, and there was a second grilled fish on my dinner plate, which was steaming hot. "I was just sending an email," I explained to him, "this fish...Mr. Shen, you can eat it." "I'll wait," he said. Although he didn't talk much, he was really nice and didn't eat the fish while I was answering the email. The next second the email came again, Xiao Yang said that he was here to book a plane ticket, I replied with one word - "OK", I turned back to the screen and started to eat fish. He was sitting next to me but the plate was empty, so I gave him an idea, "Otherwise, Mr. Shen, you can eat something else while you wait for the fish. The scallops next to it are also delicious. The food in this hotel is really good, better than mine. All the hotels I have been to have been good.”

He listened quietly to me. "But everyone doesn't seem to eat it. It's a pity." The hall is full of people holding wine glasses and changing glasses. There are not many people who actually eat. I shake my head and sigh, "Every time I see so much delicious food wasted , I always find it a pity." He said "hmm", "This is the occasion." That's right, he has seen too many scenes like this. I was about to speak, but out of the corner of my eye, I saw An Lu walking towards us, and quickly said to Shen Qinyan, "Miss An is here." He nodded and took the grilled fish handed by the chef.

"What are you doing hiding so far? Director Zou is looking for you." After An Lu approached, she patted Shen Qinyan on the shoulder, said this sentence in an intimate tone with a slight reproach, then turned away from looking at me, and smiled inexplicably, "You?" She looked more elegant in evening clothes than in usual suits, so I quickly said, "Miss An." Shen Qinyan turned around and stood up, and said to her gently: "Her name is Du Li." "Yeah, I'm Qiao Xining's assistant." "Qiao Xining's assistant," she repeated, with a faint smile line on her face, but she was speaking to Shen Qinyan, "Why, is she also your friend?"

I looked at him nervously, not knowing how he would respond. Shen Qinyan didn't look at me, and simply said "yes", and then said: "Director Zou, go over there after I have something to eat." "Alright," An Lu said noncommittally, raised her head and said to the chef, "Don't put pepper on the fish, he has a bad stomach." The chef nodded respectfully, "Yes, Miss An." After An Lu Shanshan left, I didn't react much. Shen Qin said that I was his friend. He lowered his head to eat fish, his side face was calm, his eyes were as deep as a well, and his long and dark eyelashes were slightly upturned, leaving a faint shadow under his eyelids.

It was hard to believe that he was thirty-two years old, so young, so handsome, a painting on every side, as if time had never left a mark on him. I asked cautiously: "Mr. Shen, you said I was your friend?" He looked at me sideways, with nothing to see in his expression, "You don't think so?" I quickly waved my hands, "No, no, absolutely not... I'm just, too flattered." He was silent for a moment, and then said, "I'm just an ordinary person acting in a movie." "Oh..." I stared blankly at him. After speaking, he stood up, "I'll take a step first."

I watched him pick up the dinner plate and send it to the cutlery recycling place, then walked to the center of the hall, first said a few words to director Zou Xiaoqing, then turned sideways, and greeted Gu Chijun, it was very decent no matter what. I remembered that day in Max's studio, he silently let me sleep on his shoulder - Sister Min said that he was reserved, but in fact he was not difficult to get along with. For Qiao Xining's first big-screen work in his life, the record company asked him to suspend other jobs. He either went to the film production center to familiarize himself with the process every day, or stayed in a hotel to memorize the script.

The crew originally wanted to send him a special assistant for contact, but Qiao Xining refused, saying: "My Ali is enough, one is worth two." So he pushed back.So I was ordered by Sister Min to visit him once a day. Contemporary Hitchcock is not called for nothing. This movie continues the style of director Zou Da. It has a very large number of shots, with two thousand shots—and Qiao Xining has three or four hundred shots, which is quite high. . His first scene was this Saturday, and at first he was very excited, but as Saturday approached, he became more and more nervous, getting worse day by day, and then he was almost distracted. When I went to see him, he looked crazy, grabbed me and said, "I haven't memorized a book for so many years!" "Don't you also recite the lyrics?" "Hey, the lyrics are different!" He lamented, "The lyrics are only a few lines!" I decided to help him regain his confidence. So I turned on the computer and asked him to read the messages on the official website and forum—— "Ningning, we love you!" "I wish your movie success! Your acting skills must be very good!" "We are all looking forward to your theme song!" "Even though you're acting on the same stage with several big movie kings, don't lose to them!" And so on. Qiao Xining's eyes began to glow, and fans' heartfelt love always cheered him up. He really loves his fans. When I chatted with him before, he said that as long as the fans like it, he can sing until he is 80 years old.Although both me and him know that this is impossible. In fact, the news that Qiao Xining touched the big screen for the first time is not a headline. The biggest headline about the movie "Looking for Him" ​​is not the huge investment of the movie, Shen Qinyan becoming Zou Xiaoqing's leading actor again, nor Zhang Wei'an for this. This film is composed, but Gu Chijun's comeback. The feature and news reviewed Gu Chijun’s film works before his death. He made his debut ten years ago and produced many works, including six or seven classics. His last film "Three Chapters of Covenant" can be called a textbook-level film; When he won the best screenplay and climbed to the peak of his acting career, he suddenly announced his retirement. At that time, he was thirty-two years old, in the prime of his life, when his reputation was growing and his career was flourishing, but he left out of the ordinary. After that, all the news about him disappeared, and only passers-by A, B, C, Ding said for people to explore. After Gu Chijun died, he went to Switzerland, got married soon, and chose the path of learning. The news five years ago said that he was an associate professor at a famous Swiss university, and he may be a full-time job now—this incident made his fans even more excited. I love him, saying that this is what is called the hall and the lecture hall.He now has three children, the eldest son is a pair of twins, who are said to be very cute, and there is also a four-year-old daughter-this news comes from one of his students' revelations on the forum, which is highly credible. But it is limited to this, and almost no one knows other information. Qiao Xining looked at the script worriedly, and lamented again and again, "I just called Director Zou, but he didn't tell me anything, and just let me figure it out for myself!" I said: "...Then, you have to think about it carefully, the director's words are all reasonable." He was melancholy, "Oh, my first scene was to see scary scenes in the dark...so stressful!" I poked him amusedly, "Look at how other people act." "I've watched it many times..." He pouted, pointing to a stack of videos on the coffee table. Ah, there are quite a few of them. I looked through and found many classic works, among which the works directed by Zou Xiaoqing are the most. "I want to see how he filmed." Qiao Xining said, digging out. It was Zou Xiaoqing's work last year, and Shen Qinyan won the honor of Best Actor with this movie. In addition to being slow to respond to men's appearance, I am also insensitive to any art. For example, I can't tell whether the colors are coordinated when I look at a painting. I am invited to a symphony concert because I am drowsy. Yes, art films and the like are all thank you.My teacher often said that God created all people equally. On the one hand, they are too talented, but on the other hand, they are naturally in short supply. But I don't know why, but I am willing to watch the movie played by Shen Qinyan. Shen Qinyan's experience is quite interesting. He started acting in movies at the age of 21. His first film debut was Zou Xiaoqing's "Washing the Lead". .Except for the first one, the rest are all youth romance dramas, in which he plays the affectionate young male lead—the kind that makes little girls scream when he appears on the stage.He was very young at the time, and his appearance was impeccably handsome, especially suitable for the big screen, and he was in the limelight for a while. Then he went back to school to study and read the drama department.He was studying seriously, so he didn't make a film for two years, and he took up another film in his junior year, and another film in his senior year.He then graduated with honors, without deferment, and with high marks from his professors. Although he has been studying in the past four years, his appearance is really good. He has shot a lot of commercials, and he has never faded out of people's sight. At the age of twenty-seven, he graduated from university, and he was filming about two movies a year. Every movie of Zou Xiaoqing invited him to be the protagonist.He is thirty-two years old this year, and has twelve works in total, most of which have received good reviews at the box office, making him one of the hottest male movie stars. Last year he won the best actor award, which can be said to have reached a new peak in his life. Film critics say that his good looks are one aspect, but not the main factor of success.In fact, many actors are tired of their appearance, so that the attention is too focused on the appearance and the connotation of the actor is ignored.People who are too good-looking are often favored and arrogant, and they are unwilling to cultivate themselves—this is why such people often cannot climb to the highest peak of their careers.But Shen Qin said otherwise, he spent a lot of effort to improve himself, he spent a lot of time studying the characters, so he can perfectly blend with the scene, he can completely hide his own characteristics and blend into the characters.This ability is inseparable from his hard work and talent. This movie is amazing, the camera is staggered and rotated, the editing is amazing, Shen Qinyan is looking for the whereabouts of his wife in the world that has been changed countless times, but the dead cannot be brought back to life, no matter how it is corrected.When it finally proved that everything was futile, he who had been calm all the time suddenly collapsed and cried loudly. That scene touched countless people. Even if I only watch the computer with a small screen, I find this scene very shocking. "The acting was really good," Qiao Xining stared at the big screen with a solemn expression, "I still have a lot of scenes with him... Oh, what should I do?" I was still immersed in the shock brought by the movie, and only when my heartbeat calmed down did I comfort him, "There must be a way for the car to reach the mountain. When you were young, I never thought that you would become a singer today. After a few years, you have made several movies. Looking back at today, you will find that the current tension is unnecessary." In fact, what Qiao Xining did was far better than what he said.His first scene started shooting at 9pm this weekend, and we didn't arrive until late in the evening. I wanted to arrive earlier to watch how other people filmed, but the record company temporarily arranged an exclusive interview with the world's most famous music magazine. Qiao Xining was still worried that tonight's play would fail, and the next second he talked to the blonde beauty, "There are not many people who can succeed in both the film and music fields. I hope my music and Movies can complement each other." He has studied street dance abroad for a year, and his English is quite good. "In fact, movies and music have a certain similarity. When I record and write songs, I always conceive an artistic conception and picture in my mind, and there is a complete storyline..." "My role in the movie? This is a very interesting role, and everyone will know it after watching the movie..." I couldn't help feeling that he was always like a child in front of me, but he was calm and unhurried when facing the media, with the style of a general. After the visit, we rushed to the film factory. As a popular little heavenly king, the crew arranged for him a small dressing room to share with Yan Qian, another rising film and television star.When we arrived, he had just come back from the studio after a day of filming, his face was ashen. Qiao Xining was familiar with him, so he hurriedly asked what was wrong. Yan Qian slowed down, patted his thigh and said with emotion: "You will feel it after a while, it's difficult, it's really difficult, and you don't know what to do under the camera." He is not a newcomer, but he would express such emotion, Qiao Xining's face turned even paler. Sister Min smiled and patted him on the shoulder, and went to greet the makeup artist who was preparing tools. I am most at ease when Qiao Xining puts on makeup. It usually takes a few hours for him to put on makeup, and I can write programs, read technical papers, or take a nap during this precious time; Sister Min is also very polite to me, and never asks me to do the work of serving tea and water. But with my friendship with Qiao Xining for so many years, this kind of thing is also a matter of course. While he was putting on makeup, I went to the producer who was in charge of contacting the actors.I used to contact her by email, but now that I met her in person, I realized that she is a super capable woman, not a few years older than me. After talking about work, I left the room and went to the corridor, and found that several dressing rooms next to it were used by several leading actors, and there was a nameplate of "leading actor" on the door. I stared at those words for a few seconds, thinking: I wonder if he is inside. As soon as the thought flashed through, the door snapped open, Shen Qinyan held the phone in one hand, and walked out expressionlessly. It can't be such a coincidence, can it? I heard him say: "...I don't care how you find my cell phone number, but please don't contact me again." His tone was calm and tough, with an air of indifference, I had never heard him speak like this, it was a surprise. He was wearing a white coat, thin glasses, makeup, and a serious face. Shen Qinyan suddenly raised his head to look at me, as if he was also taken aback, he probably didn't expect to see me in the corridor. I felt a little embarrassed, listening to other people's phone calls always violated privacy, I quickly smiled, nodded and greeted him, and then retreated to Qiao Xining's dressing room. Since he and I are in the same crew, we always have the opportunity to meet. I saw him again in the studio later that day. The studio is completely different from the one I saw a week ago. Several scenes have been built, including a dark long street, which seems to have moved the street from 20 years ago to the present. The lights were dim, and Qiao Xining's first shot was the street at midnight. He hurried across the long street with his guitar on his back, entered a dark room, went upstairs, pushed open the door, and found his room was beyond recognition. Lu was shocked. When Qiao Xining performed this scene, I observed behind the camera. This scene lasted about one minute without a single line, but it took at least half an hour to shoot. Sitting behind the monitor, Director Zou tirelessly said "do it again".Qiao Xining had to climb twenty times for one flight of stairs. It's late spring now, the air is getting hotter and hotter, and Qiao Xining is sweating profusely when climbing the stairs.After many NGs, I wiped his sweat off, and the makeup artist went up to touch up his makeup again. I shook my head slightly, he wouldn't be so useless when he was filming the MV. At this time, the studio was well lit, and the temperature was higher than outside. The dazzling light made me tired and hot. I quietly retreated to the corner of the studio to find water to drink, only to find a tall and straight figure walking out of the corridor at the corner. Look, I laughed quickly. "Ah, Mr. Shen." He nods to me. Speaking of which, this is the second time I saw him today.Thinking of the scene in the evening, I feel the need to explain, "I didn't intend to listen to your call this afternoon." He was startled, as if he just remembered this, shook his head, "That's nothing." He was wearing a shirt and jeans, standing with his hands behind his back, and looked very young without makeup.He really is one of the few actors who is more handsome without makeup.I heard from a makeup artist that he is extremely malleable, and once he puts on makeup, he looks like a character from a movie. I said, "Mr. Shen, your play ended an hour ago, why are you still on set?" "Getting ready to go home." "That's great," I exhaled, and stood a few steps away to the vent to breathe, "We may be late. Qiao Xining, it seems that the filming will be very late..." It was probably because of the envy in my tone, he looked at me thoughtfully, and suddenly said: "Director Zou likes to watch actors perform by themselves." "what?" "Director Zou seldom talks about plays, nor does he give guidance to actors." "For director Zou, the word 'NG' does not mean that he is dissatisfied. It is his way of letting the actors show their full state. There is a reason for him to choose actors, including Qiao Xining. He is close to the character in the script and has Talented, hardworking, smart. He's just too nervous right now." I stared blankly at him, and it took me a while to realize that he was mentioning Qiao Xining through me. "Ah, Mr. Shen, thank you." He shook his head. "However, this is the first time I've heard you talk so much," I said. His cell phone screen lit up, and I saw him lower his head to check his text messages, the faint light reflected his deep eyebrows and eyes.He is a man who, wherever he is, can change the environment, turning the surrounding scene into a still frame in a movie. He put his phone away, then nodded to me, "The car is at the gate, I'll take a step first." "Mr. Shen, go slowly." I have been an assistant for three months, and I know very well that most of the people in the circle are self-sufficient. There are not many people like him who are cold on the outside and hot on the inside. He obviously has no deep friendship with Qiao Xining, so he is still willing to give some pointers.I am so grateful to him.
