Just as Qi Xingchen had expected, after the New Year's Eve meeting, the crew of Grey Track moved to the mountains to film Liang Xiaolong's teenage and detective scenes. The estimated filming time was about a month. Due to the unpredictable weather in the mountains, it could be delayed for ten to twenty days.
In order to restore the plot as much as possible, Director Zhou did not consider comfort when choosing the location. The filming location was extremely primitive, and even cars could not drive in. The props were pulled to the foot of the mountain by a car for the first half of the filming, and the second half was completely carried up by manpower.
The mountain road was more difficult than expected. Afraid that the journey up and down the mountain would delay the filming, the crew decided to set up camp in a small village halfway up the mountain. In the rented courtyard, the bedding was often damp and smelled moldy. Rats, snakes, centipedes, and other small animals visited all day long, so the food was naturally several grades lower. Qi Xingchen, who was already thin, became even thinner.
Of course, the harsh conditions were not a problem for Qi Xingchen. The most difficult thing was the signal and the internet. There was no wireless network in the mountains, and the nearest signal tower was at the foot of the mountain. Most of the time, his phone was in a "no service" state, and he often could not send a message for an entire day.
Not to mention video calls with Bai Ye like before.
Being able to chat with him on WeChat was the only bright spot in these difficult days.
Today, they had to film an important scene of a chase in the mountains on a rainy night. At ten o 'clock in the evening, the crew put on raincoats and boots, and the camera lights flashed in the dark mountain forest.
The mountains in the south were very cold in winter, and it was even colder when it rained. Huge raindrops fell from the sky and were blown by the wind into a slanted curtain of rain. As the rain fell on Qi Xingchen, he was instantly frozen to the point that he was penetrated.
However, in the first few scenes, the female lead, Feng Nuo, sneaked into the Liang Family Village as Liang Xiaolong's friend to investigate and was noticed by the sensitive villagers. Village Chief gathered all the young and strong men in the village to capture Feng Nuo. With nowhere else to go, Liang Xiaolong brought her to escape into the mountains. They ran and climbed all the way, and their clothes were torn and tattered by the branches.
Therefore, at this moment, Qi Xingchen and Yan Ruonan's costumes were torn by the stylists. It did not make any difference whether they wore it or not, and it did not provide any warmth.
The extras were in position and the filming began. With Director Zhou's command, Qi Xingchen and Yan Ruonan threw away their umbrellas and quickly entered the roles of Liang Xiaolong and Feng Nuo.
Deep in the mountains, strong winds, torrential rain, dark night … Under the big tree, Feng Nuo placed her hands on her knees, panting heavily.
Liang Xiaolong, who had been running all the way, was also a little tired. He wiped his face and asked the woman who was only wearing a singlet, "Are you okay?"
"What did you say?" The wind was too strong, so Feng Nuo didn't hear him.
"I say," Liang Xiaolong shouted, "Feng Nuo, are you okay?"
Feng Nuo rolled her eyes at him. "How many times have I told you not to call me by my full name? Call me big sister."
However, Liang Xiaolong did not listen to her and still insisted on calling her by her full name.
Feng Nuo was so angry that she laughed. Her red lips and white teeth were more gentle than the military uniform. Liang Xiaolong stared at her for a few seconds, then took off his shirt and jacket and put it on her.
"Little brat," Feng Nuo threw the jacket back. "Big sister graduated from military school. My physical fitness is better than yours. Wear it."
"No," Liang Xiaolong's tone was firm. "I'm a man. I have to take care of you."
He had just celebrated his 19th birthday and was between a teenager and a young man. It was ridiculous for him to say the word "man". Feng Nuo laughed even more happily.
Liang Xiaolong did not know why she was laughing, but seeing her laugh, he could not help but laugh as well. Just as the two of them were laughing together …
"Over there! There's someone over there! "
"Where?"
"Under the thickest tree in the east!"
"I see it. Everyone, follow me!"
Shouts accompanied by the howling of a big wolf dog tore through the night. Feng Nuo frowned. "Xiaolong, you go first. I'll lead them away."
"No, you'll be caught."
"So what if I'm caught? This is a society ruled by law. Can they kill me?"
"No," Liang Xiaolong shook his head. "They'll lock you up and make you give birth to children."
Liang Xiaolong's IQ was slightly lower than his peers. Recently, he had improved a lot under the treatment of experts, but he was still very straightforward. Feng Nuo's heart trembled when she heard this.
In order to continue the tradition, in some poor mountainous areas where there were few people, the villagers not only bought children, but also women. These abducted women were fine if they were obedient. If they were not obedient, they would first be beaten until they were obedient. If they were still not obedient, they would be imprisoned in the house. They were not allowed to go out except to go to the toilet. Every day, except for eating, they were forced to have sex.
Among them, there were pampered rich girls, well-educated girls, and ordinary girls. But in the end, they were all reduced from living people to tools for giving birth.
The reason why Feng Nuo chose to be a police officer was that she had seen the rescued girls with her own eyes. Their eyes were dim and they had lost all enthusiasm for life.
"Feng Nuo," Liang Xiaolong grabbed her wrist. "Let's go."
"… Okay." Feng Nuo straightened up.
Without waiting for them to catch their breath, the two continued to run forward. The wet and muddy mountain road was covered with dead leaves and stones. Coupled with the rain blocking their vision, they kept falling, climbing, falling, and climbing.
In the end, they could not outrun the villagers of Liang Village who were familiar with the mountain road. They were surrounded by a large group of angry people. Liang Xiaolong saw that the situation was not good. He stepped in front of Feng Nuo.
Her son was in a mess. Liang Xiaolong's mother was distressed. She quickly called out to him. "Son, come to mom's side. Mom brought you a raincoat."
Liang Xiaolong did not seem to hear her. He looked at the crowd vigilantly.
"Xiaolong," the village chief tried to persuade him. "Come here quickly. You don't have to protect that woman."
Liang Xiaolong was still unmoved.
The villagers who had been chasing them for half the night were already full of anger. They burst into a noise of dissatisfaction. The village chief was also very angry. He said angrily, "Xiaolong, do you know who this woman is? She is the one who is here to trap us. She is the one who will make Liang Village have no descendants! "
"No," Liang Xiaolong shook his head. "She is a good person."
"You are a fool. How can you distinguish between good and bad people?"
"Yes," Liang Xiaolong said. "Human traffickers are bad people. Those who trade with human traffickers are also bad people."
No one expected him to say such words. The villagers were silent for a few seconds. They looked at him with a ferocious expression.
Liang Xiaolong's father finally could not take it anymore. He raised the stick in his hand and pointed it at the center of the crowd. "Xiaolong, don't talk nonsense. Come here and kneel before me!"
"I am not talking nonsense. I know that I bought her!"
"… So what if you bought her?" Liang Xiaolong's father was furious. "Pat your conscience. Did your mother and I treat you well?"
"No matter whether you treat me well or not, you can't hide the fact that you have committed a crime!"
On one hand, he was facing his parents who raised him. On the other hand, he was a criminal police officer who had been investigating human trafficking cases for decades. On the other hand, he was facing love. On the other hand, he was facing the law. Only Liang Xiaolong himself knew the torment in his heart.
His eyes instantly turned red, and his lips couldn't help but tremble slightly. "I know that you love me like your own son, but I'm a human, not a commodity … Including everyone here that you bought, they're all human, and they're all flesh that fell from their parents' bodies."
Tears snaked down his face and flowed into his mouth along with the rainwater. He growled in a low voice, "Have you considered their parents? If your children were kidnapped and sold to some unknown place, and you don't even know if they are alive or dead, and how much pain they have suffered, wouldn't you feel terrible? "
"And those children who were forced to be born. If they knew that their mothers were treated like this, what would they think? How are you going to educate them? Are you going to tell them that if they can't find a wife in the future, they can buy one to carry on the family line like their parents? "
At the end of his speech, his emotions were close to breaking down. He was hysterical. "Stop it. You have already broken the law. You have already destroyed countless families! Don't make mistakes again! "
"Cut —"
Director Zhou, who had been staring at the monitor, breathed a sigh of relief and gave a thumbs up. "Little Qi, you are awesome. Drink some warm water to warm yourself up."
Qi Xingchen was relieved that the main scene had passed. He went back under the canopy with Yan Ruonan.
He was too immersed in the scene to feel anything. At this time, his thoughts gradually recovered. Qi Xingchen found that he was shaking from head to toe because of the plot.
The stage supervisor brought hot water. He quickly poured two cups, one for Yan Ruonan, and the other for himself. Yan Ruonan said while drying his hair, "I was ready to reshoot several times. I didn't expect you to be so awesome."
"Of course," Qi Xingchen joked. "After all, I am the new generation of actors with your stamp. I can't embarrass you."
"You are joking … But before shooting, I was really afraid that you couldn't memorize the lines and express your emotions accurately."
The whole scene was full of long lines, and it was very difficult to find the rhythm. And in such a complicated situation, it was even more difficult to express Liang Xiaolong's contradictory mentality.
Qi Xingchen, on the other hand, had managed to pass the scene in one take.
It was simply too fast, too fast.
Being able to reach this level without a professional background was enough to show how talented he was. Of course, it also showed how much hard work he had put in.
The more Yan Ruonan thought about it, the more emotional he felt. He took out his phone and secretly took a picture of Qi Xingchen drinking water. He edited his Weibo:
— — Yan Ruonan: The new generation drives on the old, and the old is about to catch up. [Picture]
.
The sad thing was that even though he drank the Shuang Huanglian immediately after filming, Qi Xingchen still couldn't escape the clutches of the cold.
In the morning, he was awakened by the dry itch in his throat. He crawled to the well to drink water. An Ran grabbed him and measured his temperature. It was almost 39 degrees.
In order to prevent the male lead from becoming stupid, Director Zhou quickly sent him to the town hospital.
In fact, in real life, Qi Xingchen's body was very resistant. If it wasn't for the original owner's delicate body and the fact that he didn't sleep well last night, he wouldn't have a fever.
Secretly blaming himself for delaying the progress of the crew, Qi Xingchen lay in the infusion room and slept in a daze for the whole day.
It wasn't until the evening that he gradually changed from a high fever to a low fever. He got up to eat something and suddenly found a big good thing — there was a signal in the town!
There was also 4G!
Ahhh, it wasn't easy!
He got up with a whoosh, wrapped himself in a military coat, and ran out.
"Xing Xing," An Ran quickly called him, "where are you going?"
"I'm going to make a phone call!"
An Ran was helpless, "your fever hasn't subsided yet, don't catch a cold."
Qi Xingchen said "don't worry" and walked around the hospital until he finally found a deserted corner.
He dialed Bai Ye's number and listened to the busy tone. His heart was pounding and he was actually a little nervous.
"Hello," Bai Ye answered after four rings, "can you hear me?"
"Yes, the signal here is good."
"I see that there has been rain over there recently, why is the signal stronger?"
"… I don't know," Qi Xingchen said, "maybe the signal tower was struck by lightning."
Bai Ye: "…"
It was the first time he heard such a refreshing theory.
With that, Qi Xingchen leaned against the brick wall on the side of the road, his hand unconsciously digging into the cement between the cracks of the bricks, "That …"
"What?"
"Brother Ye, I miss you."
"Mhmm," Bai Ye chuckled, "I miss you too."
It was the first time Qi Xingchen got through the phone in more than ten days, and he couldn't wait to say everything. He dug into the cracks of the bricks more frequently, "I can't describe it, but I don't miss you very much, I miss you very much."
His tone was cute, Bai Ye cooperated and asked, "How much do you miss me very much?"
"I dreamed of you the day before yesterday."
"What a coincidence," Bai Ye said, "I also dreamed of you."
Dreamed of him?
Qi Xingchen was quite curious, "What did I look like in your dream?"
"Wearing my sweater and sleeping on the bed with bare legs," Bai Ye teased him.
Wearing a sweater and bare legs … Didn't that happen a while ago?
Qi Xingchen's fingers paused, and the corners of his mouth curled up involuntarily.
Like Bai Ye, he had been thinking about that day from time to time.
Because that day, Bai Ye said that he liked the ear monitor. Although in order not to burden Bai Ye, he had to hide the fact that he was the one who gave it to him, he was already very satisfied to be able to please Bai Ye.
And that day, Bai Ye had intimate contact with him, even if it was with his legs, it was equivalent to intimate contact, which proved that Bai Ye was willing to be close to him.
… Wait! Thinking of this, he suddenly realized that if he dreamed of such a scene, that dream didn't seem to be serious.
Could it be that … Bai Ye needed it again?
Qi Xingchen glanced around and found that there was no one around, so he lowered his voice and apologized, "I'm sorry that I can't be by your side."
"It's okay."
Bai Ye misunderstood and thought that the little fan was apologizing for not being able to accompany him, so he comforted him, "You have to complete the film with quality and quantity. You work hard, I can relieve myself."
Relieve himself, was it … the thing that Bai Ye did for him?
He had a boyfriend, but he had to do it himself. Qi Xingchen felt more and more guilty, "How about this, the next time you dream of me, give me a call, and I'll try my best to help you."
Bai Ye didn't understand, "What kind of help?"
What else could it be!!! Qi Xingchen was speechless for a moment, feeling extremely frustrated by his boyfriend's innocence.
But he couldn't say it on the street, so he stammered, "Just call me, and you'll know."
"… Okay." Bai Ye was helpless.
The two chatted about drama and the entertainment industry, and before hanging up, Bai Ye asked, "Have you received the invitation for next month's Golden Falcon Festival?"
The Golden Falcon Festival was the only officially approved national television arts award in the Hua Nation. "Heart of the Ocean", which Qi Xingchen had participated in in the first half of the year, was confirmed to be broadcast during the winter break next week, and was eligible to participate in the Golden Falcon Festival.
"The crew of 'Heart of the Ocean' received the invitation," Qi Xingchen answered, "I'm not sure if I received it, but An Ran didn't inform me, so I shouldn't have anything to do with it."
Bai Ye nodded, "The Golden Falcon Festival invited me to be a guest performer, if you don't go, I won't go either."
Qi Xingchen was overjoyed to be able to be a condition for Bai Ye to decide whether to do something or not. After saying goodbye to Bai Ye, he hung up the phone and hummed as he sat in the car sent by Director Zhou to pick him up.
While he could still receive the signal before entering the mountains, he nestled in the last row and quietly Baidu: [How to Make a Partner Feel Comfortable Through Words and Voice]
After two seconds of loading, a bunch of unsightly images jumped into his eyes.
He squinted his eyes, reached out his index finger, and poked it in with difficulty:
[My husband is drunk, my father-in-law broke into my room …]
[Shocking! Brother-in-law did such a thing to his sister-in-law]
[28 Days, Let You Regain Your Masculinity]
[Midnight Memoirs: My Days and Nights with Teacher]
… Strange knowledge has been added again. jpg.
Because there was too much information, Qi Xingchen, whose brain was exhausted, went to bed early when he returned to his residence.
Coincidentally, Bai Ye did dream of him that night, so when he woke up in the morning, he tried to call his little fan.
The result was the same as a few days ago, the other party was not in the service area.
He tried to send a WeChat message to his little fan: [I dreamed of you last night]
Five minutes later. [Xing Xing]: [Brother, gentler ~]
