Qi Xingchen was wearing his pajamas as he happily ended the video call with his boyfriend. After a while, he got out of bed and started to pack his personal belongings.
"Grey Track" was expected to be filmed for four to five months, spanning from winter to spring. The day before yesterday, when Qi Yuji was packing his belongings, she had brought out three big boxes of winter and spring clothes.
He had carried the two boxes that his sister had put back. He had only brought one box and a backpack with him, so he could travel to J City lightly.
He first took out the clothes one by one and hung them up. Then, he took out two small storage bags that contained his underwear and socks and prepared to put them in the cabinet.
However, as he walked towards the cabinet, he heard a "ding ding dang dang" sound coming from the storage bag.
The more he listened, the more confused he became. He couldn't help but open the storage bag.
He saw four small square boxes and two small round glass bottles lying inside.
These two bags of underwear and socks were all packed by himself. He clearly remembered that he definitely did not put these unfamiliar things in them.
They could only have been stuffed in by Qi Yuji when she was packing.
Although Qi Yuji liked to help her brother pack his luggage, she had never touched his personal belongings and underwear. The reason why she had broken her principles and stuffed these two things in here meant that they were too ashamed to be seen by others.
Qi Xingchen took out a small box and carefully read the words on it.
"0.02mm super thin and icy mint …"
"Convex heat sensitivity zero distance …"
"Hyaluronic acid lubrication, give him unobstructed love …"
Qi Xingchen looked at these strange words, and his strange knowledge increased. jpg.
Then, he could almost guess what the transparent and viscous liquid in the two round bottles next to it was.
As if he had been scalded by boiling water, he threw these things to the ground with a whoosh. Why did his sister bring him these toys!?!?!?! 'I'm here to film, not to flirt!!!'
However, after a few minutes of blushing, he picked them up with difficulty. A strange thought came to his mind.
Although Bai Ye was very busy and it was unlikely that he would come to visit him, but …
But what if?
What if Bai Ye came? Would they need … would they need something to use?
However, would Bai Ye be interested in him?
Forget it, it was better to be prepared. Qi Xingchen wrapped the items in a towel and stuffed them into the bottom of the wardrobe.
.
When taking the final makeup photos, Qi Xingchen saw the female lead, Yan Ruonan.
Just like her name, she was very swift and decisive in her actions. Her fighting scenes were top-notch. Over the years, he had been known for his professionalism and ability to endure hardships. However, perhaps because her personality was too strong, she missed out on some opportunities to exchange her gender for resources. Now that she was 32 years old, she had never become popular and had always been a B-list actor in the TV industry.
Before coming here, Qi Xingchen had done his homework. He admired and respected Yan Ruonan very much. When facing her, he acted like a junior. He held his right arm with his left hand and bowed to shake her hand. "Sister Ruonan, I'm Qi Xingchen. You can call me Xing Xing."
"Hello." Yan Ruonan looked serious. "I'm Yan Ruonan."
"Please take care of me in the next few months."
Yan Ruonan let go of his hand and said, "Mm." She didn't say anything else. It seemed that she didn't care much about Qi Xingchen.
After greeting Qi Xingchen, she turned to report to the director.
The man next to her, who was probably her manager, reminded her softly, "Ruonan, Qi Xingchen is the male lead. You'll be working together for a long time. Your reaction just now was too cold. Build a good relationship with him in the crew. Don't cause any conflicts. Harmony is the most important, understand? "
Yan Ruonan didn't say anything.
The manager asked, "Ruonan!"
"… I'll try my best," Yan Ruonan said. "As long as this little fresh meat doesn't make trouble for me, I won't make trouble for the crew. You should know me."
Their conversation wasn't loud. Qi Xingchen only heard a small part of it. He didn't feel angry or anything. He didn't have any representative works. Most of his popularity came from variety shows and his looks.
Yan Ruonan was right to call him a "little fresh meat."
He was now a popular little fresh meat who relied on his looks.
However, this web series really lacked traffic that could carry the click-through rate. The investors probably found him because they saw the popularity he brought from "Time".
Qi Xingchen didn't care. He went to the lounge to do his makeup. When filming "Heart of the Ocean," he rested in the nanny van. Now that he was the male lead, he finally had a lounge with his own name tag, like Bai Ye.
He didn't have to rely on the crew's stylist like before. It felt quite good. Qi Xingchen looked at the script and did his makeup leisurely.
Due to malnutrition, the male lead, Liang Xiaolong, was thin and sallow. Director Zhou sent the feeling he wanted to Jiang Jiang. Jiang Jiang felt troubled. "Xing Xing, your skin is too white. It doesn't match the character. I have to put on a dark foundation for you."
"It's okay. Go ahead."
"Then look for me at night. I think it's going to be very thick. It'll hurt your skin if you don't remove it properly."
Qi Xingchen nodded and continued to read the script.
Twenty minutes later, he raised his head and looked at himself in the mirror … The foundation was really thick. Even he felt suffocated.
For the natural effect, Jiang Jiang used three different colors of foundation. One layer and one layer, of course, it was thick. Jiang Jiang looked and clicked her tongue. "You have to put on your neck too. The contrast is too big. Also, the exposed arms and claws. "
"… Okay." Qi Xingchen could only choose to agree.
After the makeup was done, he put on his first set of costume — a rider's uniform for a takeout platform.
It was his first time dressing up like this. He felt quite fresh. He took out his camera and took a selfie. Naturally, he sent it to Bai Ye.
After sending it successfully, he suddenly thought of a problem. Although the foundation of his facial features was there, after putting on this kind of sallow makeup, he looked very, very bad. Even his appearance was reduced by a level.
… Bai Ye wouldn't think that he was ugly, right?!!
Fortunately, the message was sent less than two minutes ago. He quickly chose to delete it. Seeing that his ugly photo had successfully disappeared from the screen, he let out a long sigh.
Then, he saw an additional message on the screen: [Final makeup photo?]
Qi Xingchen choked back the breath he had just exhaled.
[Moon]: [Why did you lose weight again?]
That breath of air was stuck at the tip of his heart, neither going up nor down.
Qi Xingchen looked at the line of words with a complicated expression. It turned out that after seeing his photo, Bai Ye's first reaction was not that he had become ugly.
It was that he had lost weight again.
His chest was stuffy and swollen. He lowered his head and typed: [The makeup effect. In fact, I didn't lose weight. You saw it last night.]
[Moon]: [Last night, the pajamas were too loose. I couldn't see the body clearly.]
Xing Xing: [I had hotpot yesterday. I will only gain weight, not lose weight!]
[Moon]: [I support your method of losing weight for the sake of creating a good character. However, the body is more important. You must pay attention to the balance and proportion of nutrition. Strictly follow the nutritionist's advice.]
Qi Xingchen did not bring a nutritionist to the set this time. An Ran had been preparing meals for him according to the nutritionist's recipe. Recently, his weight had been in a constant state of decline. However, his increased muscle content did not change much on the surface. His health was quite good.
Facts spoke louder than words. In order to make Bai Ye feel at ease, Qi Xingchen decided not to fight with him here. When he returned to the hotel, a photo would be enough to prove the truth.
He cleverly changed the topic: [Didn't you notice that I have become ugly?]
[Moon]: [It should be a styling effect.]
Qi Xingchen had an idea. He licked his lips: [What if one day, I really become like this?]
He was young, lively, and handsome now. However, as long as one was human, there would be a day when one would grow wrinkles and fat, and one would gradually lose their beauty.
Would Bai Ye … continue to like him?
After sending this sentence, he anxiously waited for the other party's reply. Even his thoughts were in a mess. He began to think about whether he should become a skincare or cucumber maker after 35 years old.
However, when he searched for anti-aging projects on Baidu, the other party seemed to have disappeared. His message sank into the sea and there was no reply.
… Did she really dislike him because he had become old? Qi Xingchen's eyes dimmed. He regretted asking such a stupid and pretentious question.
"Idiot." He could not help but scold himself.
Unfortunately, he could not retract the message that he had seen. He tried to put aside his personal feelings. Under the guidance of the coordinator, he walked with Jiang Jiang to the location of the final makeup photo shoot.
Halfway there, his phone buzzed. He took it out. [Moon] sent a WeChat message.]
Jiang Jiang happened to turn around to talk to him. She accidentally saw the notification and asked curiously, "Moon? Did you change the name? "
"No." Qi Xingchen lied. "That's the other party's WeChat name. I didn't change it."
"Oh, his name is Moon and yours is Xing Xing. You guys are quite compatible, haha."
Qi Xingchen was not in the mood to joke. He had just been dealt a blow. While he talked to Jiang Jiang, he opened the message with his fingers as if he was being tortured.
If he stretched his neck, he would be stabbed. If he retracted his neck, he would also be stabbed. If Bai Ye despised him, he would … work hard to cherish the time he could spend with Bai Ye. He would rely on this beautiful memory to live the rest of his life.
However, what appeared in front of him was unexpected.
Since it was not a text reply, Bai Ye did not dislike him.
It was a photo of the inside page of a poetry book. On the slightly wrinkled paper, there was a short poem.
"How many people have loved your ephemeral figure/Loved your beauty, hypocrisy, or true feelings/Only one person has loved your pilgrim heart/Loved the marks of time on your sorrowful face."
.
Moved by the poem, Qi Xingchen was full of emotions. Under the guidance of the photographer, three sets of final makeup photos were taken.
One set showed him working part-time, one set showed him in his hometown in the countryside, and one set showed him when he was studying in school. They accurately covered every important stage of his life.
Then it was time to take a photo of the male and female leads. Yan Ruonan changed into her police uniform and looked valiant. Qi Xingchen was in ragged clothes and looked confused with a trace of yearning.
The two finished very quickly. In less than an hour, all the photos were taken.
While waiting for the photo editing process, the photographer kept muttering, "Yo, Xing Xing's little face is perfect. There is no need for photoshop!"
"He can still look so good in this state. Tsk, tsk, tsk. Young people nowadays, what do they eat when they grow up?"
"The dark eyes are too bright. I'll darken them a little. Liang Xiaolong's brain doesn't allow him to be smart."
"Teacher Yan Ruonan is so good, so good, so suitable for a policewoman disguise! Women are not inferior to men, sonorous roses! "
Qi Xingchen did not expect the photographer to be better at flattering than the fans. He was embarrassed by the compliments and looked at Yan Ruonan from time to time.
Yan Ruonan was still expressionless, but there was a trace of impatience in his eyes. Qi Xingchen thought that in her heart, he had evolved from a little fresh meat to a vase.
After the opening ceremony tomorrow, the official scenes would be shot. After the photo shoot was done, Director Zhou signaled that they could leave.
Yan Ruonan's agent probably wanted to help his artist maintain the relationship, so he said, "Xing Xing, is your driver here yet? Can I give you a ride?"
The M1 car, which symbolized the male lead, was parked outside. The agent's words were purely polite. Qi Xingchen smiled and refused, "No, I'm going to stay on set until the evening."
"Stay on set until the evening?" The agent was surprised, "This is a village in the city. The heating is very bad. Don't catch a cold."
"It's okay," Qi Xingchen pointed at the down jacket on his body, "I'm wearing thick clothes."
Seeing Qi Xingchen's insistence, the agent stopped persuading him and took Yan Ruonan to the car.
After watching them leave the set, Qi Xingchen walked slowly around the village. He measured the path Liang Xiaolong walked with his feet, looked at the scenery Liang Xiaolong saw with his eyes, and listened to the sounds Liang Xiaolong heard with his ears.
After walking two big circles, three hours had passed. He didn't know when his toes were frozen stiff. He hid under the roof and jumped around. At this time, An Ran called and said, "Xingxing, there's an official announcement tonight. Go and check the Weibo account of the crew now."
Qi Xingchen went on Weibo. Because he had been wandering around for too long, the official Weibo account of Grey Track, the director, and the cast had all followed him more than two hours ago.
There were even some unknown supporting characters who had paid attention to him two days ago in order to get close to him.
Qi Xingchen felt a bit ashamed and hurried to follow them one by one. However, when it was Yan Ruonan's turn, he found that she was not following him.
He did not think too much about it. Instead, he followed Yan Ruonan first.
When he returned to the hotel at eight in the evening, he opened Weibo and found that Yan Ruonan was still not following him.
According to Yan Ruonan's manager's character, she must have already reminded her artist. Yan Ruonan must have been looking for an excuse and was unwilling to do anything.
Qi Xingchen curiously clicked on Yan Ruonan's latest Weibo post.
It was a picture of the script that she had posted an hour ago. There was no caption, mainly to tell her fans that she had a job.
The comments under the post were very interesting.
[Hhhh, Sister Yan is real. She is not a die-hard hunk at all.]
[They are all actors in the same cast. No wonder she is not popular. Her EQ is so low.]
[The one above is real, but she doesn't have a low EQ. She just doesn't want to do things against her will. Look at the people in the industry she follows. They are all capable people. If you want her to follow you, please make your master a capable person first, okay?]
[That's right. Besides, if my family is not popular, I will admit it. If you don't like it, just go back.]
[Aiyo, what a boastful tone. Your sister has chosen to be a public figure, so she has to accept the public's opinion. I have the right to comment. What can you do about it?]
[Damn, what can you do about it? Come on, I will accompany you, you b * tch who crawls everywhere …]
