Chapter 5 Chapter Five

He and I are not the same kind of people, and there is no chance to meet again after this movie is over. I went to the studio a lot, and I found that shooting a film was not as fun as I thought it would be. The set is mostly chaotic, with wires piled up everywhere under your feet, and you will trip if you don't pay attention.I want to watch the scene, but I don’t know the plot without seeing the script, and occasionally seeing the filming clips is also foggy.Qiao Xining wanted to do a good job as an actor, he worked hard and got along well with the staff here.Sister Min felt relieved, she stopped following him every day, and Qiao Xining and I went to the set every day.

After all, my relationship with him is different from the relationship between other stars and their assistants. Qiao Xining will not deliberately ask me to do things. Most of the time, I am relatively free. I only contact the crew and get their schedule. When I go to the studio, I often see Shen Qinyan, and I will say hello to him.No matter how busy he is, he will politely nod to me-so we are really nodding friends. I noticed that Shen Qinyan is very diligent. Even if there is no scene for him, he will be on the scene most of the time, sometimes sitting quietly by the side, and sometimes playing with other actors.

He is really dedicated.Therefore, people are always popular for a reason. On the second weekend, I witnessed one of his plays, which was quite impressive. In the play, he has an inexplicable interest in the heroine who has lost his memory, so he finds her residence.He leaned slightly and knocked on the door. There was obviously a sound when knocking on the door, but when he did it, it was very quiet.I secretly glanced at the monitor, it was clearly an ordinary two-dimensional picture, but because of Shen Qinyan's appearance, it actually showed a sense of relief. The heroine Song Yihan hid at the door and watched him cautiously.

He said, "Can you let me in?" She shook her head in bewilderment. His eyes were softer, and he still said the same sentence, "Please let me in." There are only two lines in this scene. In the similar lines, the subtle changes in emotion can be heard even by a layman like me. Later that day, I heard the cameraman talk to the director: Shen Qinyan said that the best thing is not the appearance, but the posture.If the posture is improper, even the best and most beautiful image will lose its brilliance and make people feel embarrassed.His various poses in the movies are always on point.

No wonder some people say that whether Shen Qinyan plays a lunatic or a genius, there are always a lot of people who love him. Qiao Xining also gradually became familiar with the staff on the set, and her acting skills were barely on the road.Although he secretly complained to me, such as "under the pressure of a perfectionist director, it's really difficult", "the cameraman is very picky about me", or "what if I can't grasp the character image", but in fact, the more times he NG Come and go, at least he is no worse than the others.I think he probably understood what Director Zou meant.

His recent main roles are all against Song Yihan - after all, he was the one who picked up the heroine. Probably because of their similar age, the two of them got along very harmoniously. Movie shooting has a fixed number of shots every day, and it must be finished before it ends. Zou Xiaoqing is very picky about every shot, and she will stay up until three or four in the morning almost every day before going home. After the filming ended with great difficulty, it was already two o'clock in the morning. I was finally liberated, and Qiao Xining went to the garage of the studio to pick up the car and go home.

As soon as I walked to the garage, I saw Song Yihan with a frustrated face. She yelled at the phone with a tired face: "Are you brainless? How could I spend money to raise you, idiot! Why don't you die ? The car broke down and I didn’t even notice it!” Qiao Xining and I looked at each other, and he nodded to me. I understood, walked to the driver's seat to warm up the car, a minute later Qiao Xining walked towards our SUV with Song Yihan, opened the door and let her into the back row. Qiao Xining said to her: "Whether it's waiting for the assistant to pick it up or asking the crew to send a car, there are still 20 minutes."

And she was so exhausted that she almost died. "That's not it," she gritted her teeth, "my assistant is a complete idiot!" As the heroine of this drama, she stayed on the set for more than fifteen hours a day during this period. It was extremely hard work, and it was inevitable that she would be irritable. I held back my tiredness and turned to look at her, "Miss Song, where do you live?" She said the name of the community, and I nodded, looking for the shortest route back in the navigator. Qiao Xining leaned over and patted me on the shoulder, "In this case, I'll drive and take you home first, and then I'll take Miss Song."

I let out a "huh". He pointed to the route map on the screen, "Look at these routes, your home is the closest." "Also." I sat in the back row, lowered my head, took out my mobile phone and checked it for a while. I made arrangements for the next three days and told Qiao Xining, "I have sent the time and schedule for the next few days to your mobile phone." He nodded and said yes.I asked him some more things, such as "you can wake up later tomorrow", "I ordered a gift for a certain record producer's birthday the day after tomorrow", etc.

Song Yihan glanced at me sideways, sighed and said, "If only my assistant could be half as capable as you." Qiao Xining was driving the car, still very proud, "That's right. Who is my Du Li?" Song Yihan let out a "hmm". Qiao Xining said: "As long as it is on the Internet, there is nothing she can't do. You don't know how much effort I spent to get her to be my assistant. It's because of our childhood sweethearts." It's hard for him to talk big so late, I gave him a weak look. Song Yihan glanced at me, hesitated for a while, "Your computer skills are very good?"

I shook my head vigilantly, and answered casually, "Barely count." Fortunately, she didn't ask any further questions, leaning slightly against the car window, as if she was dozing off.It was probably because she lost her temper just now, and she leaned on the back seat sleepily, looking lacking in energy.She is a beautiful woman, with a spirit in her brows - most of the actors who can be spotted by Director Zou have good looks.At this time, she was still wearing makeup, but it couldn't cover up her pale complexion, and instead she was a little pitiful. Not long after, the car turned a corner and entered the street where I lived. I was exhausted, and when I got home, I lay down on the bed, turned off the computer, and fell asleep. I was so tired at the time that I didn't pay attention to this little episode at all, but I didn't realize that this was the beginning of another story. The first scene at the beginning of the story is the gossip about "Qiao Xining and Song Yihan returning home at night in the same car".Mostly it is said that the two of them had an affair in the movie, and they also fell in love outside the movie, flirting with each other and starting a relationship.I was amazed by the news - if I hadn't been there last night, I probably would have been convinced by the vivid photos of the reporter. Sister Min was overjoyed, "Not bad! Gossip is always the best adjustment in the circle." She even discussed the details with Song Yihan's manager. Such innocuous gossip news is a good thing for everyone. But gossip is gossip, I also found that the relationship between Qiao Xining and Song Yihan is indeed better than that with other actors in the crew.For example, Qiao Xining signed all his albums and gave them to Song Yihan. He explained to me, "She said she liked my songs very much. She said that she heard my songs when she was feeling down, and she felt very inspirational and uplifting." Qiao Xining attaches great importance to his music, not to mention that the one who expresses his admiration is the beautiful woman who plays opposite him. Even Director Zou often joked about the two of them, saying to him: "The beauty pageant champions are all coaxed away by you." I just found out that the director is also amazing when he is cold and humorous. The producer laughed, "Director Zou really lives up to his reputation as the 'No. 1 medium in the film industry'!" I didn't understand, so I asked Miss Min to explain to me, "The so-called first media is because Director Zou's crew will form a couple every time they shoot a movie, such as Zhang Rui and Le Minmin, Tao Fangzhi and Liu Jiaying..." This was unheard of, and I couldn't help laughing. On weekend nights, I usually have dinner with my eldest brother. Now that the eldest brother has changed his workaholic nature, he does not work overtime if he can, and focuses on cultivating the relationship, which shows how much he attaches importance to this relationship.The only thing that makes people feel humorous is that when the elder brother and Yao Yao are together, he always calls me. I asked him: "Why do you keep asking me to eat? Are you afraid that I will be a light bulb?" He knocked on my head, "Speak up." Yao Yao laughed, "Don't mind, that's what I mean too." I blinked at her, a little surprised. I grew up, and although I have never been in a relationship, I have never eaten pork and I have seen pigs running—what I have seen and heard for so many years tells me that couples in love tend to avoid acquaintances, not big brothers and the like, no I will bring a younger sister when it is suitable for me and me. My eldest brother has always been quiet during meals. Yao Yao probably has been a lawyer for a long time and is also very used to listening, so I often talk about my recent experiences during meals.Although I was always complaining in my heart when I was in the studio, I was surprised to find that these experiences gave me a lot of talking points. No wonder the eldest brother said: "In the past, all you talked about was code overflow and system security... I thought you were not interested in anything other than electronic chips. It's rare that you pay attention to so many details." This is the problem of the industry. Our brothers and sisters are similar in nature. We wish that the whole society is digitized and composed of rigorous mathematics.Most of the people in the entertainment industry can speak well. "You underestimate me too!" I protested, "I gossip occasionally!" "So it's so interesting to watch a movie on the spot?" Yao Yao became interested after hearing this, "I've never been to a studio before, can Ali take me in?" "Uh..." I was taken aback, "ah, that's not okay." Then I explained to her how tight and difficult it is to enter Director Zou's set. Yao Yao covered her mouth with a smile, "I just said it casually, don't take it to heart. I am very grateful for her understanding. If she must go to the studio, there is no way. She needs an access card to enter the studio. There is a built-in chip, and the serial number of the chip is unique. It is not difficult for me to crack the access code, but it is not necessary to do so. Although he is not the actor with the most roles, Qiao Xining also has to go to filming every three days.After spending more time on the set, Shen Qinyan and I would sometimes meet in the parking lot or in the dressing room, and he would give me a little nod as a greeting.After meeting several times, Qiao Xining was extremely surprised. " "It turns out that your relationship is so good?" I said, "He's very nice." Sister Min glanced at me, then tapped my head with her finger, "Du Li, look at this set, besides you, which assistant would Shen Qinyan greet?" "Why, Miss Min, do you think he is ruthless?" I was speechless, "I think he is cold on the outside and hot on the inside. He told me what I told Qiao Xining last time about Director Zou." "Really?" Sister Min was thoughtful, and exchanged a look with Qiao Xining that I couldn't understand.She coughed lightly, looked at me again, and said in a subtle tone: "Ali, no matter how good you are on the Internet, you really have no plans in life. An Lu is not that easy to get along with, but He is someone's boyfriend after all." The meaning of this sentence took me several turns in my head to understand. "Ah! Sister Min, are you worried about me?" She stretched out her hand and patted me on the shoulder, and said softly: "Talking too much is annoying. There are many good men in the world, but those who already have girlfriends belong to others." At this moment, I felt awe-struck, and my heart was as heavy as a piece of lead.Unknowingly, the relationship between me and Shen Qinyan has become so ambiguous in the eyes of others. I will not fall in love with others just because they are handsome, and life is not a novel. Sister Kemin reminded me so tactfully, but I can't stand it even if I think about it, and let me avoid suspicion. It’s just, just—he and I are not the same kind of people, and there is no chance to meet again after this movie is over. The shooting cycle of this film is three months, and almost two months have passed so far.Seeing that the shooting in the studio is coming to an end, the crew is about to move to the location. The location is on a small island outside Jinghai City. Because it is located at the southern tip of Jinghai City, it is called Nandao—I think this name is very perfunctory. There are dozens or even hundreds of small islands in the south. .It takes about an hour and a half for the crew to take a yacht to the island at the pier. The island is small and delicate, and it takes no more than two hours to circle it. It is summer, and the whole island is full of red poincianas. The South Island has an extremely beautiful coastline and white beaches. The golden sun shines vertically, and the blue waves gently roll up to the shore, beating the crystal clear sand on the beach. According to the crew, one-third of this beautiful island is the private territory of a rich man, and the rest are mostly the original residents of the island.The reputation of the South Island is not bad or popular, and it is not a popular tourist destination, but there are also tourists.Three hotels have been built on the island in recent years, and all the rooms have been reserved by the crew in advance. There are too few rooms in this family hotel, and it is obviously impossible for each person to have a separate suite. This has resulted in the situation that both the staff and the director and actors must be crowded.In addition to the staff of the crew, several leading actors can bring an assistant, so I went to the island with Qiao Xining - I lived in the same room as Song Yihan, and her new assistant, a young boy, lived with Qiao Xining Together. For this shoot, Qiao Xining will probably stay on the island for a week, so I brought my luggage when I went out. Song Yihan's luggage is really a lot, the room is not big, several big boxes occupy most of the place except the bed. She said sorry to me and I smiled and shook my head. "I don't have much stuff." For me, the only important piece of luggage is my dear computer. The days on the island are very nourishing. Although the filming is hard, my coming to this island is more like a vacation-I am just Qiao Xining's assistant, and it is enough to take good care of him.Given our relationship, he basically doesn't keep me busy running around, and I seem to be the most laid-back person on the entire island. I feel like a day like this is like a vacation.I thought about it, being an actor is also good. You can travel to many places and meet many people. It is indeed much better than sitting in front of the computer all year round. The filming efficiency of the crew was very high, and they finished work very early for two consecutive days, and the filming task was completed at ten o'clock in the evening.I sat on the bed with my laptop in my arms, typing on the keyboard while wearing glasses as a routine. Song Yihan came out of the bathroom and suddenly said, "This pair of glasses doesn't suit you." "I'm used to it." Ninety percent of my mind is code, and the remaining ten percent is caused by the thread processing environment, so I answered vaguely.Every programmer has their quirks, and mine is that I have to wear glasses instead of contact lenses while programming. "Your eyes are very beautiful." what!It's always good to be praised, especially by beautiful women. I looked up, surprised and happy, "Really?" Song Yihan smiled.I have been in touch with her a lot these days, and I know that this newly promoted actress has a straightforward personality, and she doesn't need to perfuse me. I blushed, "No one has ever said that to me!" "Probably because you are in front of the computer every day, and no one will notice." I said from the bottom of my heart: "Miss Song, I am not beautiful, you are the most beautiful." She was half lying on the bed, covering her eyes with her hands, her exhaustion was evident at a glance. "I'm not as good as you," she sighed softly, her voice was very lonely, "It's the best to have a pretty face but not rely on it for food." I felt there was something in her words, and just as I was about to comfort her, her cell phone rang.She spent a long time on the phone every time. After thinking about it, I went to the hotel lobby with the computer in my arms. There were not many people in the hotel lobby, but there was a circle of people at the bar, all members of the film crew chatting loudly and excitedly, probably because this group of people were tortured enough by work, and the content of the chat was almost nothing related to the movie—mostly Parents wife children.I hid in the corner with my notebook in my arms and started typing with all my concentration. What I want to write today is not program code, but technical documentation.This is a more painful thing than writing code. You have to use clear, well-organized, and eloquent statements to write technical documents that everyone can understand and use as a reference—every Writing analysis reports and technical documents for the first time is an arduous battle for me, requiring a high degree of concentration and not being sloppy. When I looked up again, there was no one near the bar. I took off the earphones, stretched myself, and stood up with my laptop in my arms.Sitting in front of the computer, unaware of the passage of time.I was staggering and preparing to go back to my room to sleep, when I suddenly turned my eyes and saw a light on the sofa in the corner, reflecting the orange light of the bar counter in the other corner of the hall. Anyone else go to bed so late like me?I took a few steps closer curiously, and saw the glimmering light from the laptop screen falling on a quiet and handsome face. A jade-like complexion, a straight nose bridge, thin lips, long and thick eyelashes—ah, it's Shen Qinyan. He lowered his head slightly, staring intently at an ultra-thin white computer notebook resting on his lap, typing impatiently with his fingers on the keyboard, tapping the keyboard twice, and tapping twice display screen.Like everyone who can't handle electronic products, he always thinks that electronic products are pets, and they will be more obedient if they are patted. I was startled, and subconsciously walked towards him. The foot was negligent, and unexpectedly bumped into the sofa, making a muffled sound. Shen Qinyan raised his head, his bright eyes swept over me, and after a little surprise, he nodded to me, "It's you." I rubbed my calf bone which was sore from the bump, blushed with embarrassment, and whispered, "Mr. Shen, why are you here?" He had been filming for a whole day, and now he should lie in bed and rest.God knows how exhausting it is to be an actor. He looked at me, "Haven't slept yet?" Probably because the night outside the window melted into his eyes, and his voice was a little low. "No," I said, "I was just writing the analysis document and evaluation report after the last job, I was really exhausted..." My voice stopped abruptly, and Shen Qinyan was tired enough, at least it must be more tired than me, not necessarily Have the mood to listen to my work experience. He let out a "hmm", stretched out his fingers and rubbed his temples, and casually put the notebook on his lap on the table. I noticed that his computer screen didn’t have any interface, it was just pale, and the pale light flickered for a few times before disappearing completely, and the screen was completely black. I said cautiously: "Mr. Shen, it looks like something is wrong with your computer?" "Yes, during this period of time, there will be problems when I play the DVD, and I can't even restart it." I volunteered, "Let me take a look for you." He nodded to me with a gentle expression, "Then I will trouble you." I sat down next to him, put my computer aside, took his computer, fingers flying on the keyboard. His notebook is exquisite in shape, thin and light, easy to carry, and expensive-like every luxury item, the biggest problem is that it is extremely poor in compatibility. "This type of computer is flashy, and it pursues the feeling of the screen too much and ignores the system performance. The compatibility is horribly poor, and data overflow is easy to occur. The graphics card often overheats and dies, causing the computer to freeze or even worse. The longer it takes, the more problems there will be." I babbled and turned my head away, but I saw his slightly fixed eyes and puzzled face, obviously he didn't understand what I just said - he is different from me, he doesn't eat this bowl of rice , of course there is no need to understand. "Ha... ha... I've been writing code for too long..." I smiled subtly and continued, "In short, this computer has been criticized a lot. But there are also areas for improvement, you You can replace the graphics card memory and wiring, I will write you the model number... If you find it troublesome, you can also consider changing to a computer, I recommend you a few models with powerful entertainment functions." Shen Qinyan was noncommittal and asked me: "Are you good at dealing with computer problems?" His breath was right next to my cheek, and I could smell the faint scent of incense on his body, not any scent I had smelled before, just like the smell of sunshine. It was rare that he would ask me some questions, and I quickly answered: "Actually, I am better at dealing with software problems. As for hardware, I am almost at a loss, but ordinary problems can also be solved." Seeing his slightly puzzled eyes, I added One sentence, "This is my job." He looked at me, "Work?" I said, "I'm a system security consultant, and I work in computer security technology." He seemed a little confused, "System security? Where?" "System security is a broad definition, including many aspects, such as database protection system, firewall security, identity authentication, access control protocols, etc." He might not understand it, and after a little thought, he said, "Like the opposite of a hacker?" "That's almost what it means, and it's more sophisticated than hackers. Security engineers need to check the entire system, including all aspects I mentioned above, find the weaknesses that hackers may attack, and then fix the vulnerabilities immediately. Of course, this is also a long-term process. The loopholes can never be plugged, and all kinds of leaks can never be stopped..." While speaking, I pressed the Enter key, and the laptop screen lit up. I pushed the laptop over, "Mr. Shen, the computer is ready." Shen Qinyan nodded to me, "Thank you." I was very happy that I could help him, and I waved my hands and smiled, "It's just a little effort, don't worry about it." He cast his gaze on the screen, loading programs one by one, and the top one on the data recovery interface of the terminal just now is the player.Apparently, the computer was playing a movie a second before it died. Computers have always been a very personal thing, and it is not very polite to look at other people's computers, but the scene on the screen is really impressive. The interface was still stuck in the interrupted clip. I saw a bearded man kneeling on the blood-stained deck, holding a blood-stained little girl, his face was full of pain, and his eyes showed deep pain. deep sorrow.He is so sad.Such deep sorrow was like a sharp knife, shattering his heart, only a little peripheral vision remained in his eyes, it was the eyes of revenge. "what is this?" I stared at the screen and asked curiously. "A movie from more than ten years ago," Shen Qinyan replied, ""Three Chapters of the Covenant"." "It seems... I have heard of it. Is this movie good?" He was really surprised, "Haven't you seen it?" "I barely watch movies," I pouted, "I don't have time." My obsession with computers more than ten years ago reached a new level, wasting precious time all afternoon just to watch a boring movie?What a joke!It's totally out of my consideration. Shen Qinyan nodded and said: "This is a very good movie, from any point of view, it is impeccable." "Such a high evaluation?" I racked my brains and thought for a while, "Does the actor have Gu Chijun?" Shen Qinyan pointed to the man on the screen, "That's him." I was taken aback, "Ah, why is he like this?" "What should he look like?" I was a little excited, "I saw him on the day of the opening ceremony, he is so handsome and personable, why is he like this? Look at this man, he is so poor, so miserable, so miserable, so pitiful." I thought my speech was a bit naive, but Shen Qinyan didn't smile, and said, "This is the role he plays in the play, and he is not the same person as usual." His voice was always low when he spoke, without much emotion, but At this time, complex emotions were hidden. "I can't see it at all." I said honestly, "It's because of the makeup." Shen Qin said nothing, looked at the static picture on the screen for a moment, and then answered me: "It's not because of makeup, it's because of acting skills." "Oh..." I nodded foolishly, "I don't know much about acting skills, but I've seen your movies and think you can act very well." Shen Qinyan turned his face to meet my gaze, "Don't you rarely watch movies?" "Uh," I smiled sheepishly, "I've watched all your movies a while ago." He turned his face to look at me for a long while, and the breath that was close at hand gently swayed to my ear.After a long while, he said "hmm" and changed the subject, "In the next few days, I will have several scenes with Gu Chijun, so I am watching his movie." I suddenly realized, "Ah, pre-exam assault?" He was stunned, and reached out to clasp the laptop heavily, "You are right, my current behavior is no different from cramming." I was stunned.Hey, is he smiling, is he really smiling?This is the second time I saw his smile, and I can't wait to engrave this moment into a CD and save it in the computer forever. He gently leaned on the sofa, exhaled softly, and said: "When I entered this circle, Gu Chijun just quit the film industry, and we passed each other. I have never acted opposite him in so many years, I don't know How does it feel to act with him, very nervous, makes you laugh." It was rare for him to talk so much, and I was a little touched, so I hurriedly said: "You must be better than his acting skills. He has not acted for more than ten years, and he has long been rusty. Acting is also a kind of technology, just like our programmers. Say ten years, even if you don’t pay attention to it for ten months, you will be eliminated by the mainstream circle.” "Acting skills and information technology cannot be compared," he shook his head lightly, "what's more, this script is adapted from a stage play by Gu Chijun." "Huh?" I was surprised, "Is there such a thing?" Shen Qinyan nodded. I was in awe, "I thought he was just good-looking." "He is an all-rounder. Over the years, he has written many scripts, all of which have been performed on the stage in Vienna." Shen Qinyan rubbed his temples, "The movie "Looking for Him" ​​was directed by Zou in Switzerland. It took him a month to get the authorization from him." "Ah, it turns out that this is the case. This story must be very interesting." "Yes." He said simply, with a final word. I said "Oh" and didn't know how to answer. "After the editing is done, you can see it." I have been to the set many times, but to be honest, I still don't know anything about the main line of this movie. It seems to be a love story, but it doesn't feel right.Shen Qinyan must have known the intention and main line of the movie, but naturally he would not mention it to me. He picked up his notebook and stood up, then looked down at me again, "Go upstairs together?" I nodded quickly, followed him to stand up, and went upstairs to the room.
